- Japanese patients with diagnosis of ITP according to the diagnostic criteria proposed by Research Committee for Idiopathic Hematopoietic Disorders of the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare [MHLW] (revised in 1990) at least 6 months before the first screening visit
- The mean of the 3 scheduled platelet counts taken at the scheduled visits during the screening period must be ≤ 30 x 10^9/L, with no individual count > 35 x 10^9/L
- Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0 to 2
- Subjects must be ≥ 20 years of age at the time of obtaining the informed consent
- Have received at least 1 prior treatment for ITP
- If known Helicobacter pylori positive, having completed one course of Helicobacter pylori eradication therapy at least 12 weeks before the first screening visit
- A hemoglobin value taken at scheduled visit during the screening period must be ≥ 10 g/dL
- A serum creatinine concentration taken at scheduled visit during the screening period must be ≤ 2 mg/dL
- Adequate liver function, as evidenced by a total bilirubin taken at scheduled visit during the screening period ≤ 1.5 times of the upper limit of the normal range (except for patients with a confirmed diagnosis of Gilbert's Disease) or an alanine aminotransferase and aspartate aminotransferase taken at the screening visit ≤ 3 times of the upper limit of the normal range
- Any known history of bone marrow stem cell disorder. Any abnormal bone marrow findings other than those typical of ITP.
- Any active malignancy. If prior history of cancer other than basal cell carcinoma or cervical carcinoma in situ, no treatment or active disease within 5 years before the first screening visit.
- Documented diagnosis of arterial thrombosis (eg, stroke, transient ischemic attack, or myocardial infarction); history of venous thrombosis (eg, deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism) and receiving anticoagulation therapy at the first screening visit.
- Documented diagnosis of anti phospholipid antibody syndrome
- Currently receiving any treatment for ITP except oral corticosteroids, azathioprine and/or danazol administered at a constant dose and schedule from at least 4 weeks prior to the first screening visit
- Received intravenous immunoglobulin, anti D immunoglobulin, or any drug administered to increase platelet counts (eg, immunosuppressants except azathioprine) within 2 weeks before the first screening visit
- Have had a splenectomy for any reason within 12 weeks before the first screening visit
- Past or present participation in any study evaluating pegacaristim (polyethylene glycol-conjugated recombinant human megakaryocyte growth and development factor, KRN9000), Eltrombopag (SB 497115), recombinant human thrombopoietin, AMG 531, or other Mpl stimulation product
- Received hematopoietic growth factors (eg, granulocyte colony stimulating factor, macrophage colony stimulating factor, erythropoietin, interleukin 11) for any reason within 4 weeks before the first screening visit
- Received any anti malignancy agents (eg, cyclophosphamide, 6 mercaptopurine, vincristine, vinblastine, Interferon alfa) for any reason within 8 weeks before the first screening visit
- Received any monoclonal antibody drugs (eg, rituximab) for any reason within 14 weeks before the first screening visit
- Less than 4 weeks since receipt of any therapeutic drug or device that is not MHLW approved for any indication before the first screening visit
- Pregnant or breast feeding
- Subjects of reproductive potential who are not using adequate contraceptive precautions, in the judgment of the investigator
- Known severe drug hypersensitivity
- Concerns for subject's compliance with the protocol

Group Intervention Description Placebo Placebo - AMG 531 AMG 531 Double blinded placebo-controlled study
- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Weeks With Weekly Platelet Response 12 weeks (Weeks 2 - 13) Number of weeks with weekly platelet response. A weekly platelet response is defined as a platelet count of ≥ 50 x 10\^9/L on a weekly scheduled dose day from week 2 to week 13.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Weeks With Platelet Count Between 50 and 200 12 weeks (Weeks 2 - 13) Number of weeks with platelet count between 50 x 10\^9/L and 200 x 10\^9/L inclusive during week 2 to week 13.
Change From Baseline in Mean of Last 4 Weekly Platelet Counts 12 weeks (Weeks 2 - 13) Change from baseline in the mean of the last 4 weekly platelet counts from week 2 to week 13.
Rescue Medication(s) 12 weeks (Weeks 2 - 13) Requirement for rescue medication(s) during treatment by the participant
Increased Platelet Count From Baseline of at Least 20 x 10^9/L Baseline, 12 weeks (Weeks 2 - 13) An increase in platelet count of at least 20 x 10\^9/L from baseline within the participant during the treatment period. Increase was calculated as the maximum observed platelet count during the treatment period minus the baseline platelet count.
