A Randomized, Blinded, Placebo-Controlled, Dose Finding Study to Assess the Safety and Efficacy of the Oral Thrombopoietin Receptor Agonist, Eltrombopag, Administered to Subjects With Acute Myelogenous Leukaemia (AML) Receiving Induction Chemotherapy
In Brief
A Phase 2 clinical trial evaluating Daunorubicin, Cytarabine, and 2 other interventions for Acute Leukaemia. Completed, enrolled 148 participants across 42 sites in 10 countries.
Detailed Summary
The purpose of this randomized, blinded, placebo-controlled study was to provide clinical safety and exploratory efficacy data on the use of Eltrombopag in adult subjects with Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) receiving standard induction chemotherapy with daunorubicin plus cytarabine. A minimum of 120 evaluable subjects newly diagnosed with AML was stratified by antecedent malignant hematologic disorder and age.

Interventions
For subjects between the ages of 18 and 60 years, 90 mg/m2/day by bolus IV injection through a freshly established free-flowing IV line for 10-15 minutes on days 1, 2, and 3. For subjects \> 60 years: daunorubicin dose was adjusted to 60mg /m2.
100 mg/m2/day continuous IV infusion on Days 1 through 7.
200 mg orally, once daily, beginning on Day 4 of the first cycle of induction. After 7 days, the dose of the Investigational Product (IP) was to be increased to 300 mg if platelet counts were \<100 Gi/L. IP continued until achievement of platelet count of at least 200 Gi/L or assessment of remission of bone marrow status or a maximum of 42 days after initiation of most recent induction. In subjects of East Asian heritage 100 mg orally once daily (a 50% dose reduction) was used and after 7 days, the dose of IP was increased to 150 mg if platelet counts were \<100 Gi/L.
Orally, once daily, beginning on Day 4 of the first cycle of induction. After 7 days, the dose given was matching 300 mg Eltrombopag if platelet counts were \<100 Gi/L. Placebo continued until achievement of platelet count of at least 200 Gi/L or assessment of remission of bone marrow status or a maximum of 42 days after initiation of most recent induction. In subjects of East Asian heritage placebo matching 100 mg Eltrombopag orally once daily was used and after 7 days, the placebo matching 150 mg Eltrombopag was given if platelet counts were \<100 Gi/L.
