Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Other interventions - Romiplostim

Experimental: Romiplostim - Participants received romiplostim administered weekly by subcutaneous injection during the 12-month treatment period. The starting dose was 1 µg/kg with weekly dose increases continued in increments of 1 µg/kg/week to a maximum dose of 10 µg/kg in an attempt to reach a target platelet count of = 50 x 10^9/L.


Other interventions: Romiplostim
Romiplostim will be administered weekly by subcutaneous injection

Eligibility
Key inclusion criteria
- Subject has been diagnosed with primary ITP according to the American Society of
Hematology (ASH) guidelines (George et al, 1996) and previously received only 1st line
therapies.

First line therapy is defined as corticosteroids, immunoglobulin G (IVIG), anti-D and vinca
alkaloids (used for the treatment of ITP related thrombocytopenia only). A platelet
transfusion at any time during the six month period since the original diagnosis would not
exclude the subject from study participation

- Initial diagnosis of primary ITP within 6 months of enrollment

- Age = 18 years at screening

- A single platelet count = 30 x 10?/L at any time during the screening period

- Subject or subject's legally acceptable representative has provided informed consent
Minimum age
18 Years
Maximum age
No limit
Sex
Both males and females
Can healthy volunteers participate?
No
Key exclusion criteria

development factor (PEG-rHuMGDF), eltrombopag, recombinant human thrombopoietin
(rHuTPO) or any platelet producing agent

- Rituximab (for any indication) or mercaptopurine (6-MP) or anticipated use during the
time of the proposed study

- All hematopoietic growth factors including interleukin-11 (IL-11) (oprelvekin) within
4 weeks before the screening visit

during the time of the proposed study

- Known hypersensitivity to any recombinant E. coli-derived product (eg, Infergen,
Neupogen, Somatropin, and Actimmune)

- Currently enrolled in another investigational device or drug study, or less than 30
days since ending another investigational device or drug study(s), or receiving other
investigational agent(s)

- Subject will have any other investigational procedures performed while enrolled in
this clinical study

- Subject is pregnant or breast feeding, or planning to become pregnant within 5 weeks
after the end of treatment

- Female subject of child bearing potential is not willing to use, in combination with
her partner, highly effective contraception during treatment and for 4 weeks after the
end of treatment

- Subject has previously enrolled into a romiplostim study

- Subject will not be available for protocol required study visits, to the best of the
subject's and investigator's knowledge

- Subject has any kind of disorder that, in the opinion of the investigator, may
compromise the ability of the subject to give written informed consent and/or to
comply with all required study procedures
