Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Subjects Who Qualify As Treatment Responders | Baseline thru Day 15 post treatment | Subjects who i) had at least one platelet count of ≥50 x 109/L prior to Day 15 and ii) did not require a booster dose prior to Day 15, where Day 15 refers to the fifteenth day after initiation of treatment (Day 1). Otherwise, the subject is a non-responder. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Time to achieve a platelet count > 50 x 109/L | Screening visit |
| Duration of platelet response | Screening visit |
| Maximum Platelet Count | Screening visit |
| Number of Adverse Experiences | Throughout the study period of approximately 11 months |
