A subject will be eligible for study participation if he/she meets the following criteria:
1. A signed and dated written informed consent obtained prior to the performance of Screening procedures.
2. Males and females = 18 years of age prior to Screening.
3. All subjects must agree to use exclusively progestin-based and/or barrier method contraception if engaging in sexual intercourse. Female subjects of child bearing potential must not be breast-feeding and must use a reliable barrier method for at least 7 days prior to the first dose of study drug and continuing throughout the study until 6 weeks after the last dosing, except if surgically sterilized or have been post-menopausal for at least 12 months. Hormone based contraceptives (e.g., pills, patch, shots, implants) that are not exclusively progestin-based are prohibited. Male subjects should either remain abstinent or use a condom during the time interval between taking the first dose and 6 weeks following the last study drug dose.
4. Diagnosis of ITP by American Society of Hematology criteria for at least 12 weeks prior to Screening.
5. Subjects > 60 years of age must have had a diagnostic bone marrow aspiration showing normal or increased numbers of megakaryocytes.
6. Relapsed persistent or chronic ITP status, with or without prior splenectomy (exception: in Hungary only splenectomized subjects will be enrolled), after having failed at least 1 prior ITP therapy (excluding TPO agonists) and have a platelet count < 30,000/µL if not taking medications or < 50,000/µL despite concomitant steroids or other ITP therapies, such as danazol or immunosuppressive drugs.
7. Subjects receiving chronic maintenance steroid therapy must have received a stable dose (same milligram amount ± 10%) for at least 2 weeks prior to Screening.
8. Prothrombin time (PT) and activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT) within 20% of the upper limit of normal at Screening.
9. Subjects receiving stable dosages of cyclosporine A, mycophenolate mofetil, azathioprine, or danazol are allowed. The dosages of all these medications must be stable for at least 4 weeks prior to Visit 1 (Day 1).

A subject will not be eligible for study participation if he/she meets any of the exclusion criteria, or will be discontinued at the discretion of the investigator if he/she develops one or more of the following exclusion criterion during the study:
1. History of inherited or acquired, clinically important hemorrhagic clotting disorder.
2. Females who are pregnant or lactating, or are receiving other hormone/chemical contraceptives that are not exclusively progestin-based.
3. History of alcohol/drug abuse or dependence within 1 year of Screening.
4. Use of the following drugs or treatment prior to Visit 1 (Day 1):
• Within 1 week – Rho(D) immune globulin or intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG);
• Within 2 weeks – platelet transfusions or plasmapheresis treatment
• Within 4 weeks - use of anti-platelet or anti-coagulant drugs.
• Within 8 weeks – rituximab;
• Within 12 weeks – alemtuzumab, multi-drug systemic chemotherapy, stem cell therapy;
5. History of clinically significant (in the opinion of the investigator) cardiovascular or thromboembolic disease within 26 weeks prior to Screening Visit.
6. Splenectomy within 4 weeks prior to Screening.
7. Laboratory abnormalities:
• Hemoglobin < 10.0 g/dL for men or women, not clearly related to ITP;
• Absolute neutrophil count < 1000/mm3;
• Abnormal peripheral blood smear;
• Total bilirubin > 1.5 x upper limit of normal;
• Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) > 1.5 x upper limit of normal;
• Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) > 1.5 x upper limit of normal;
• Creatinine > 1.5 x upper limit of normal;
• Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) positive;
• Hepatitis A IgM antibody (IgM HAV) positive, hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) or hepatitis C antibody (HCV) positive;
• Thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) > 1.5 x upper limit of normal;
• Free thyroxine (T4) > 1.5 x upper limit of normal.
8. Exposure to previous approved TPO mimetics/agonists eltrombopag within 2 weeks or romiplostim within 4 weeks prior to dosing.
9. Subjects unresponsive, defined as the inability to attain adequate platelet count despite optimal dosing of previous TPO mimetics/agonists (e.g., eltrombopag, romiplostim, E5501 [AKR-501] or LGD-4665), based on investigator’s discretion.
10. Exposure to an investigative medication within 4 weeks prior to Screening.
