Randomised, Placebo-controlled, Multi-centre Study to Assess the Efficacy and Safety of Eltrombopag in Thrombocytopenic Subjects With Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) Infection Who Are Otherwise Eligible to Initiate Antiviral Therapy (Peginterferon Alfa-2a Plus Ribavirin

The purpose of this study is to assess the ability of eltrombopag to maintain a platelet count sufficient to facilitate initiation of antiviral therapy, to minimise antiviral therapy dose reductions and to avoid permanent discontinuation of antiviral therapy. The clinical benefit of eltrombopag will be measured by the proportion of subjects who are able to achieve a Sustained Virological Response (SVR).

MeSH: Hepatitis Hepatitis A Hepatitis C Hepatitis C, Chronic
HPO: Hepatitis

2 Interventions

Name: eltrombopag

Description: 25, 50, 75, 100 mg tablets taken once daily orally

Type: Drug

Name: placebo

Description: matched placebo taken once daily orally

Type: Drug


Primary Outcomes

Description: Participants with SVR were defined as those with undetectable Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) ribonucleic acid (RNA) at 24 weeks post-completion of the treatment period of the DB Phase.

Measure: Number of Participants With Sustained Virologic Response (SVR) in the Double-blind (DB) Antiviral Treatment Phase

Time: From Baseline up to Week 48 or Week 72 (for participants with Genotype 2/3) or up to Week 72 (for participants with Non-Genotype 2/3)

Secondary Outcomes

Description: Participants were assessed for a shift from a baseline platelet count of <75 Gi/L to a count >=90 Gi/L during the OL Phase (up to 9 weeks). Local laboratories were used for platelet function tests. Platelet counts were measured by blood draw.

Measure: Number of Participants Whose Platelet Count Increased From a Baseline Count of <75 Gi/L to a Count Greater Than or Equal to (>=) 90 Giga (10^9) Cells Per Liter (Gi/L) During the Open-label (OL) Pre-Antiviral Treatment Phase

Description: In the OL Phase, participants initially received the lowest dose of eltrombopag (25 mg QD) for 2 weeks. If after this time the platelet count was <90 Gi/L, participants underwent sequential dose escalation to the next highest dose (50 mg QD for up to 2 weeks), with further dose escalations to 75 mg QD (up to 2 weeks) and 100 mg QD (up to a maximum of 3 weeks) if platelet counts remained <90 Gi/L. Participants who achieved platelet count >=90 Gi/L on any of the eltrombopag doses in the OL Phase initiated antiviral therapy in the DB Phase.

Description: ETR is defined as the absence of detectable HCV RNA at the end of antiviral treatment. SVR12 is defined as the absence of detectable HCV RNA at the end of antiviral treatment and the 12-week follow-up assessment.

Measure: Number of Participants With End of Treatment Response (ETR) and Sustained Virological Response at Week 12 of Follow-up (SVR12) During the DB Phase

Time: From Baseline up to Week 36 or Week 60 (for participants with Genotype 2/3) or up to Week 60 (for participants with Non-Genotype 2/3)

Description: Participants were assigned a score equal to the number of times their dose of antiviral therapy (peginterferon or ribavirin) was reduced (0=no dose reductions [DRs]; 1=one DR; 2=two DRs; 3=three DRs; >3=more than three DRs). Where possible, every effort was made to maintain the recommended dose of antiviral therapy for the treatment duration in the DB Phase. However, where dose modification of antiviral therapy was required due to safety concerns, it was performed by the Investigator as per the region-specific product labels of peginterferon and ribavirin.

Measure: Number of Participants in the Indicated Categories for Antiviral Therapy Dose Reductions in the DB Phase

Description: The assigned dose in the DB Phase of peginterferon alfa-2a was 180 micrograms (mcg). For peginterferon dose modification, downward adjustments in one level increments was considered. The lowest dose of peginterferon alfa-2a that was allowed to be administered was 45 mcg. Where dose adjustment was required for moderate to severe adverse reactions (clinical and/or laboratory), an initial dose reduction to 135 mcg was generally adequate. In some cases, a dose reduction to 90 mcg or 45mcg was necessary. Dose increases toward the original dose were considered when the adverse reaction was resolved.

Measure: Number of Participants With the Indicated Levels of Peginterferon Dose Reductions in the DB Phase

Time: From Baseline up to Week 48 or Week 72 (for participants with Genotype 2/3) or up to Week 72 (for participants with Non-Genotype 2/3)
