What was measured

The FACT-TH6 consists of 6 questions in which patients rate (0-4) their general degree of worry related to bleeding and bruising, and resulting activity impairment and frustration. Although the six items do not constitute a formal domain or subscale of the FACT-Th assessment tool, these items had been identified by focus groups of patients with chronic ITP as important indicators of their HRQoL. Items were reverse-scored as necessary such that higher scores represent higher HRQoL. Total scores ranged from 0 to 24. Recall period is not specified. The change in scores was measured at the transitioning period and immediately prior to withdrawal/completion over 2 years, and the mean of these measurements was recorded to calculate the change from baseline and the best post baseline change score was reported for the entire group

Groups in this outcome

Eltrombopag

Open-label eltrombopag was supplied in 25, 50, 75 mg tablets. All subjects started at 50mg once daily and dose was increased or decreased based on platelet count (target range 50-200Gi/L). Alternate days and interruption of dosing was permitted to maintain target range of platelet count. Doses could range from 25 to 75mg. Subjects could remain on treatment up to 2 years.
