Effect of SPD422 on Platelet Lowering and Safety in Japanese Adults With At Risk Essential Thrombocythaemia
- Registration Number
- NCT01214915
- Lead Sponsor
- Shire
- Brief Summary
- The purpose of this study is to investigate how effective and safe SPD422 (Anagrelide Hydrochloride) is in Japanese subjects, diagnosed with Essential Thrombocythemia, who's previously treatment has either not been effective or has caused unacceptable adverse reactions. The study will aim to show that platelet counts can be safely reduced in treated patients to below 600 x 10\^9/L after a minimum of three months treatment. To demonstrate an positive effect platelet levels will need to remain below 600 x 10\^9/L for at least 4 weeks.

- Primary Outcome Measures
- Name - Time - Method - Percentage of Subjects Who Responded in Platelet Count - 12 months - A response was defined as platelet counts to \<600x10\^9/L across consecutive visits for at least 4 weeks following at least 3 months of treatment. 
- Secondary Outcome Measures
- Name - Time - Method - Percentage of Subjects With Normalization in Platelet Count - 12 months - Normalization was defined as platelet counts ≤400x10\^9/L across consecutive visits for at least 4 weeks following at least 3 months of treatment. - Percentage of Subjects Who Responded in Platelet Count Whose Baseline Platelet Count Was <600x10^9/L - 12 months - A response was defined as platelet counts to \<600x10\^9/L across consecutive visits for at least 4 weeks following at least 3 months of treatment. - Percentage of Subjects Who Responded in Platelet Count Whose Baseline Platelet Count Was ≥600x10^9/L - 12 months - A response was defined as platelet counts to \<600x10\^9/L across consecutive visits for at least 4 weeks following at least 3 months of treatment. - Percentage of Subjects With at Least 50% Reduction in Platelet Count - 12 months - Subjects who achieved at least 50% reduction in platelet count from their baseline level across consecutive visits for at least 4 weeks and following 3 months of treatment.
