Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: Phases 1 and 2 -Hypersensitivity to Eltrombopag or one of the excipients. - History of thromboembolic events. - Treatment with anti-platelet drugs or other drugs affecting platelet function and/or with anticoagulants. - Concurrent diseases or conditions that significantly increase the risk of thromboembolic events, including: malignancies, congestive heart failure (NYHA Grade III/IV), atrial fibrillation or other arrhythmias that predispose to thromboembolic events, known hereditary factors predisposing to venous thromboembolism (factor V mutations, factor II mutations, deficiency of antithrombin III, or protein C, or protein S), antiphospholipid syndrome, hormone replacement therapy and systemic contraception containing estrogen, severe obesity, severe hypertension not controlled by treatment, heavy smoking, diabetes mellitus not controlled by therapy or complicated, severe dislipidemia, haemoglobinopathies increasing the risk of thrombotic events, such as sickle cell anemia or thalassemia major. - Moderate to severe liver failure (Child-Pugh score = 5). - Altered renal function as defined by creatinine = 2 mg/dL - Previous or concurrent clonal disorders of the myeloid series (acute myeloid leukemias and myelodysplastic syndromes). - Females who are pregnant or nursing (a negative pregnancy test is required before enrolment of fertile women). - Formal refusal of any recommendations for a safe contraception. - Alcohol or drug addiction. - Any other disease or condition that by the advice of the responsible physician would make the treatment dangerous for the patient or would make the patient ineligible for this study, including physical, psychiatric, social and behavioral problems.

Design outcomes

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): - Dosages of eltrombopag required for achieving the primary endpoints of Phases 1 and 2. - Ability to receive the programmed treatment with eltrombopag without side effects requiring drug discontinuation Exploratory Endpoints: Effect of treatment on serum thrombopoietin (TPO) level, number of reticulated platelets, in vitro platelet aggregation. ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: End of study

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: Phase 1 To ascertain whether and in which forms of inherited thrombocytopenia eltrombopag can be used to transiently increase platelet count over 100 x 109/L and to abolish bleeding tendency. Phase 2 To verify whether and in which forms of inherited thrombocytopenia eltrombopag can be used to stably reduce bleeding tendency in patients with clinical significant bleedings and who had their bleeding tendency reduced during Phase 1 of the study.;Secondary Objective: Phases 1 and 2 - Evaluate safety and tolerability of Eltrombopag in patients with inherited thrombocytopenias. - Identify the dosages of Eltrombopag required to obtain the primary objectives of Phases 1 and 2. ;Primary end point(s): Phase 1: Platelet counts higher than 100 x 109/L and no bleeding events (Grade 0 of WHO bleeding scale) during the last week of treatment. Phase 2: Long term reduction of bleeding tendency as measured by the WHO bleeding scale.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Phase 1: last week of treatment Phase 2: end of study
