GroupInterventionDescription
RomiplostimRomiplostimParticipants will receive a maximum of 2 administrations of romiplostim by subcutaneous injection, the first on day 1 of the study and the second on day 15 or 22 depending on the participant's platelet count. Romiplostim doses to be tested were 30, 100, 300, and 500 μg.
Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Number of Participants With Adverse EventsFrom first dose through 8 weeks after last dose of study drug (11 weeks)
Number of Participants With Positive Anti-Romiplostim AntibodiesDays 29 and 78

The presence or development of antibodies to romiplostim and endogenous thrombopoietin was assessed using a neutralizing bioassay. Antibody analyses were conducted on study days 29 and at the end-of-study visit (day 78). The number of participants with positive antibody binding at any time during the study is reported.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Time to Peak Platelet CountFrom first dose of study drug to day 15 or 22, and from the second dose of study drug (day 15 or 22) to day 78

Time from the date of study drug administration (day 1, 15 or 22) to the day of peak platelet count after each dose. Platelet count data after the use of rescue medication were not included.

Number of Participants Who Achieved a Targeted Therapeutic Platelet ResponseBaseline and after first dose (days 3, 5, 8, 10, 12, 15, and days 17 and 19 for participants dosed on day 22) and after second dose (days 17, 19, and 22 for participants dosed on day 15, and days 24, 26, 29, 32, 36, 43, 50, 64, and 78 in all participants)

Targeted therapeutic platelet response was defined as a (single) platelet count that was double the baseline level and between 50 and 450 × 10⁹ cells/L.

Platelet count data after the use of rescue medication were not included; participants with no platelet count data were considered non-responders.

Change From Baseline to Peak Platelet LevelBaseline and after first dose (days 3, 5, 8, 10, 12, 15, and days 17 and 19 for participants dosed on day 22) and after second dose (days 17, 19, and 22 for participants dosed on day 15, and days 24, 26, 29, 32, 36, 43, 50, 64, and 78 in all participants)

Platelet count data after the use of rescue medication were not included.

Number of Participants With an Increase in Platelet Count of ≥ 20 x 10⁹ Cells/L From BaselineBaseline and after first dose (days 3, 5, 8, 10, 12, 15, and days 17 and 19 for participants dosed on day 22) and after second dose (days 17, 19, and 22 for participants dosed on day 15, and days 24, 26, 29, 32, 36, 43, 50, 64, and 78 in all participants)

Platelet count data after the use of rescue medication were not included; participants with no platelet count data were considered non-responders.

Number of Participants With Peak Platelet Counts of ≥ 100 x 10⁹ Cells/LAfter first dose (days 3, 5, 8, 10, 12, 15, and days 17 and 19 for participants dosed on day 22), and after second dose (days 17, 19, and 22 for participants dosed on day 15, and days 24, 26, 29, 32, 36, 43, 50, 64, and 78 for all participants)

Platelet count data after the use of rescue medication were not included; participants with no platelet count data were considered non-responders.

Number of Participants With Peak Platelet Counts of ≥ 450 x 10⁹ Cells/LAfter first dose (days 3, 5, 8, 10, 12, 15, and days 17 and 19 for participants dosed on day 22), and after second dose (days 17, 19, and 22 for participants dosed on day 15, and days 24, 26, 29, 32, 36, 43, 50, 64, and 78 for all participants)

Platelet count data after the use of rescue medication were not included; participants with no platelet count data were considered non-responders.

Duration Within the Targeted Therapeutic RangeFrom first dose of study drug to day 15 or 22, and from the second dose of study drug (day 15 or 22) to day 78

Targeted therapeutic platelet level was defined as a platelet count that was double the baseline level and between 50 and 450 × 10⁹ cells/L.

Platelet count data after the use of rescue medication were not included.
