Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Percentage of Participants With a Response
Time Frame: Week 6
Responders were participants with one of the following: 1. achieved a platelet count of ≥ 50,000 cells/µL after 6 weeks of dosing; or 2. prematurely withdrawn due to a platelet count \> 400,000 cells/µL prior to Day 42. Participants were counted as non-responders if any of the following conditions held: * The above conditions were not satisfied; * They received rescue medications; * They satisfied the above conditions after receiving restricted medications during the treatment period; * They had achieved a platelet count of ≥ 50,000 cells/µL before Week 6 but not after Week 6; or * They withdrew for any reason other than a platelet count \> 400,000 cells/µL.
Secondary Outcomes
- Number of Participants Who Received Rescue Medication During the Treatment Period(6 weeks)
- Percentage of Participants Who Achieved a Platelet Count of ≥ 30,000 Cells/µL and Doubled the Baseline Platelet Count After 6 Weeks of Dosing(Week 6)
- Percentage of Participants Who Achieved a Platelet Count of ≥ 50,000 Cells/µL and Doubled the Baseline Platelet Count After 6 Weeks of Dosing(Week 6)
- Number of Participants With Worst Severity of Bleeding Associated With ITP During the Treatment Period,(6 weeks)
- Change From Baseline in Platelet Count at Week 6(Baseline and Week 6)
- Duration of Response(6 weeks)
- Number of Participants With Adverse Events (AEs)(6 weeks)
- Lusutrombopag Plasma Concentration(Days 8, 22, and 36, after dosing)
- Plasma Concentration of Metabolite S-888711 Deshexyl(Days 8, 22, and 36, after dosing)
