Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (2)
Tolerated Eltrombopag Dose
Measured in milligrams (mg). The primary objective of the phase I study is to determine the recommended phase II dose. The maximum dose is the dose of which less than 2 of 6 patients experienced an unacceptable event/side effect
1 year
Efficacy
The primary outcome for the Phase II study is the proportion of subjects without grade 3 or 4 thrombocytopenia
20 weeks
Interventions
Eltrombopag is taken by mouth daily beginning 5 days before the start of each chemotherapy cycle for 10 days. In the phase 1 part of the study the dose will be 100, 150, 225, or 300 mg.
