Brief summary

This was a worldwide, three-part (Part 1: open-label, Part 2: randomized, double-blind, Part 3: extension), multi-center study to evaluate the effect of eltrombopag in subjects with myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) or acute myeloid leukemia (AML) who have thrombocytopenia due to bone marrow insufficiency from their underlying disease or prior chemotherapy. This objective was assessed by a composite primary endpoint that consists of the following: the proportion of ≥Grade 3 hemorrhagic adverse events, or platelet counts \<10 Gi/L, or platelet transfusions. Patients with MDS or AML and Grade 4 thrombocytopenia due to bone marrow insufficiency from their underlying disease or prior chemotherapy were enrolled in the study. No low or intermediate-1 risk MDS subjects were enrolled in the study. Subjects must have had at least one of the following during the 4 weeks prior to enrolment: platelet count \<10 Gi/L, platelet transfusion, or symptomatic hemorrhagic event. Supportive standard of care (SOC), including hydroxyurea, was allowed as indicated by local practice throughout the study. The study had 3 sequential parts. Subjects who were enrolled in Part 1 (open-label) cannot be enrolled in Part 2 of the study (randomized, double-blind); however, subjects who completed the treatment period for Part 1 or Part 2 (8 and 12 weeks, respectively) continued in Part 3 (extension) if the investigator determined that the subject was receiving clinical benefit on treatment.

Inclusion criteria

* Adult subjects (18 years of age or older) with MDS or AML (bone marrow blasts ≤50%) with thrombocytopenia due to bone marrow insufficiency from the disease or prior treatment.

Number of Participants With Platelet Response up to Week 8 During Part 1From Baseline up to Week 8 during Part 1A participant was considered as a responder if he/she met the following response criteria: a Baseline platelet count \<20 Giga cells per liter (Gi/L) and a post-Baseline increased to \>20 Gi/L and at least 2 times the Baseline value; or a Baseline platelet count \>=20 Gi/L and a post-Baseline absolute platelet count increased to \>=50 Gi/L and at least 2 times the Baseline value. The response criteria was evaluated at each visit. Increase in platelet count observed up to 3 days after a platelet transfusion was not considered as a platelet response. The Part 1 Population was comprised of all participants enrolled into Part 1.
Clinically Relevant Thrombocytopenic Events (CRTE) From Week 5 up to Week 12 During Part 2From Week 5 up to Week 12 during Part 2A participant was considered to have a CRTE at a given assessment if he/she had platelet counts \<10 Gi/L, or platelet transfusions, or \>=Grade 3 hemorrhagic adverse events. CRTEs during Weeks 5 to 12 were compared between treatments using a generalized linear mixed model. Average of weekly proportion of subjects with CRTE during Week 5 to 12 was estimated for each treatment. Intent to Treat (ITT) Population was comprised of all randomized participants during Part 2.

Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy (FACT)Change from baseline, up to week 12The FACT-Th-18 is the most widely used and accepted tool evaluating health-related quality-of-life outcomes in cancer patients with chronically low platelets (where Th designates thrombocytopenia). The entire FACT-Th-18 was used in this trial, which includes the 18-item thrombocytopenia subscale used to assess the impact of symptoms, signs, and functional consequences of thrombocytopenia in MDS and AML subjects. The FACT-Th-18 is a validated and reliable instrument with known psychometric properties. FACT-ThS is an 18 item questionnaire specific to assessing the impact of symptoms, signs, and functional consequences of Thrombocytopenia. ThS score ranges from 0 to 72 with higher the score, the better the QoL. FACT G total score moves from 0 to 108 where higher the score, the better the HRQL. FACT-Th Total Score is calculated by adding the FACT-ThS and FACT-G score. Total score ranges from 0 to 180 and again, higher the score, the better the HRQL.
EQ-5D Utility Score AnalysisChange from baseline, up to week 12EuroQoL Five Dimensions Questionnaire (EQ-5D) is a standardized generic preference based health related quality of life instrument. It records how one's health is today and consists of a descriptive system. The Descriptive system is Comprised of 5 dimensions: mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort, anxiety/depression. Each dimension on the EQ-5D involves a 3-point response scale which indicates the level of impairment (level 1 = no problem; level 2 = some or moderate problem(s) and level 3 = unable, or extreme problems). Level of problem reported in each EQ-5D dimension determines a unique health state which is converted into a weighted health state index by applying scores from EQ-5D preference weights elicited from general population samples. This generates a unique description of the subjects' health status, which is valued between 0 (representing death) and 1 (representing perfect health). Higher the score, the better the quality of life. EQ-ED is a score.
Independent Reviewer-Assessed Best Responseup to week 12Participants were evaluated in accordance with the modified International Working Group (Cheson, 2006). CR: Bone marrow blasts \<5%, Hgb ≥11g/dL, Hematologic Improvement - Platelets (Baseline \<20Gi/L: \>20 Gi/L and 2x baseline; Baseline ≥20 Gi/L: ≥50 Gi/L and 2x baseline), Neutrophils ≥1.0 Gi/L, Peripheral blasts 0%.

Part 1: Eltrombopag
The eltrombopag starting dose the participants received was 100 mg daily (50 mg for participants of East Asian heritage). The dose of eltrombopag was escalated from 100 mg to 200 mg (50 mg to 100 mg for East Asians) and further from 200 mg to 300 mg once daily (100 mg to 150 mg for East Asians) based on the platelet response and safety data after two weeks of current dose level. After all participants finished the 8 week treatment period, platelet response and safety were analyzed before initiating Part 2 of the study. Supportive standard of care was allowed as needed. The duration of Part 1 was 8 weeks.

Part 2: Placebo
Participants received eltrombopag matching placebo once daily (3 tablets). Supportive standard of care was allowed as needed throughout the study.
47
Part 2: Eltrombopag
The eltrombopag starting dose the participants received was 100 mg daily (50 mg for participants of East Asian heritage). The duration of treatment with the initial dose level prior to first dose escalation was determined based on the platelet response and toxicity observed in Part 1. The dose of eltrombopag was escalated from 100 mg to 200 mg (50 mg to 100 mg for East Asians) and further from 200 mg to 300 mg once daily (100 mg to 150 mg for East Asians) based on the platelet response and safety data after two weeks of current dose level.
