Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| 1) Proportion of patients who achieved the platelet count of 50,000 microL or higher at week 24 of the fostamatinib administration 2) Proportion of patients who achieved the platelet count of 10,000 microL or higher at week 24 of the fostamatinib administration 3) Proportion of patients who achieved the platelet count of 30,000 microL or higher, and twice from baseline at week 24 of the fostamatinib administration 4) Proportion of patients who achieved the platelet count of 50,000 microL or higher at least once from baseline to week 12 of the fostamatinib administration 5) Number of observation points at when each patient achieved the platelet count of 50,000 microL or higher among week 2-24 (7 observation points) 6) Change in the platelet count from baseline to each observation point (the platelet count at baseline is determined as the mean of it at week 0 and the latest one before week 0) | — |
