About this study

This was a 2 part (Part A and B) adaptive, open-label, dose-finding study of PRN1008 in approximately 60 patients in Part A and approximately 25 patients in Part B.

Part A enrolled patients with ITP who were refractory or relapsed with no available and approved therapeutic options. Eligible patients had a platelet count <30,000/μL on two counts no sooner than 7 days apart in the 15 days before treatment begins. The active treatment period was 24 weeks and the post-treatment follow-up period is 4 weeks. In the dose-finding part of the study, each patient enrolled in the study was allowed to up-titrate their dose after 28 days of PRN1008 therapy, if they did not experience a platelet response or a dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) at the last dose level. Patients who responded to PRN1008 per protocol may enter a long term-extension.

Part B of the study included approximately 25 patients with ITP who had relapsed or had an insufficient response to prior therapies. Eligible patients had a platelet count <30,000/µL on two occasions no less than 7 days apart, within 15 days before treatment began and a platelet count of ≤35,000/µL on Study Day 1 (SD1). The study consisted of a 28-day screening period, 24-week active treatment period, and a long-term extension. After the last dose of PRN1008 there was a 4-week safety follow-up period.

Primary outcomes

  1. Part A: Percentage of Participants Who Achieved 2 or More Consecutive Platelet Counts by Starting Dose Level and Overall

    Time frame: Up to 24 Weeks

    The percentage of participants who achieved 2 or more consecutive platelet counts, separated by at least 5 days, of >=50,000/ microliter (μL) and an increase of platelet count of >=20,000/μL from baseline, by starting dose level and overall, without use of rescue medication in the 4 weeks prior to the latest elevated platelet count. 95% confidence interval (CI) was based on the Clopper-Pearson method. The average of the 2 screening results and the Cycle 1 Day 1 result were used as the baseline value.

  2. Part B: Percentage of Participants Who Achieved Platelet Counts >=50,000/μL

    Time frame: Up to 24 Weeks

    The percentage of participants who achieved platelet counts >=50,000/μL on at least 8 out of the last 12 weeks of the 24-week treatment period without the use of rescue medication after 10 weeks of active treatment. 95% CI was based on the Clopper-Pearson exact method.

  3. Part A: Number of Participants With Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs) and Treatment Related Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events

    Time frame: From first dose of rilzabrutinib (Day 1) up to last dose + 1 (up to 294 days)

    Adverse event (AE): any untoward medical occurrence in participant or clinical study participant, temporally associated with the use of rilzabrutinib, whether or not considered related to rilzabrutinib. TEAEs: AEs that developed or worsened or became serious on or after the first dose administration of rilzabrutinib (Day 1). Any TEAEs are considered treatment-related TEAEs as per Investigator's evaluation of participant's circumstances surrounding the event, and an evaluation of any potential alternative causes to determine whether an TEAE can be considered as related to the rilzabrutinib.

  4. Part B: Number of Participants With Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events and Treatment Related Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events

    Time frame: From first dose of rilzabrutinib (Day 1) up to last dose + 1 (approximately 170 days)

    AE any untoward medical occurrence in participant or clinical study participant, temporally associated with the use of rilzabrutinib, whether or not considered related to rilzabrutinib. TEAEs: AEs that developed or worsened or became serious during the treatment-emergent period, defined as any time after the first dose administration of rilzabrutinib (Day 1). Any TEAEs are considered treatment-related TEAEs as per Investigator's evaluation of participant's circumstances surrounding the event, and an evaluation of any potential alternative causes to determine whether an TEAE can be considered as related to rilzabrutinib.

    Rescue medication is defined as any therapy used to rescue a participant (1 of intravenous immunoglobulin [IVIG], high-dose steroids, platelet infusion or anti-D immunoglobulin infusion). Percentage of participants who received rescue medication are summarized here. 95% CI was based on the Clopper-Pearson exact method.

  11. Part B: Change From Baseline in Idiopathic Thrombocytopenic Purpura Bleeding Scale (IBLS)

    Time frame: Baseline and up to 24 weeks

    The IBLS is a bleeding assessment score. IBLS comprises of 11 sites for female and 10 sites for male, and each site is scored from 0 (none) to 2 (marked bleeding). The total overall score ranges from 0-22, with higher scores indicating higher presence of marked bleeding. For each participant, an IBLS score at each visit was calculated by taking the average across 11 items (10 for male and postmenopausal women) at 9 anatomical sites (8 for male and postmenopausal women). For each participant, a mean IBLS score was also calculated by taking the average across all post-baseline visits during the 24-week treatment period. IBLS average value ranges from 0 to 2. The smaller the IBLS average value is, the healthier the participants are. For change from baseline, negative value indicates an improvement. The baseline value is defined as the last available value before the first dose rilzabrutinib.

    Time frame: Up to 24 Weeks

    Rescue medication is defined as any therapy used to rescue a participant (1 of IVIG, high-dose steroids, platelet infusion or anti-D immunoglobulin infusion).

    Time frame: Up to 24 Weeks

    The percentage of participants with intensity grade 2 or higher bleeding event are summarized for each dose level and overall. The TEAEs with standardized medical dictionary for regulatory activities (MedDRA) query (SMQ) hemorrhages were medically determined for analysis of bleeding events. 95% CI was based on the Clopper-Pearson method.

  14. Part A: Number of Participants With Idiopathic Thrombocytopenic Purpura/Immune Thrombocytopenia (ITP) Bleeding Assessment Tool (ITP-BAT) Scale by Dose Level

    Time frame: Up to 24 Weeks

    The ITP-BAT scale comprises of 11 grades from 0 (none) to 2 (marked bleeding), with higher scores indicating higher presence of marked bleeding, assessed at 9 anatomical sites (skin, oral, epistaxis, gastrointestinal [GI], urinary, gynecological [GYN], pulmonary, intracranial hemorrhage [HEM], subconjunctival HEM) by history over the previous week (Hx). In addition, 2 sites (skin and oral), were also assessed by physical examination (PE). The 'worst ever' bleeding experienced at each site was graded using the same system. Here, 0 indicates none; 1 indicates 1-5 bruises and/or scattered petechiae and 2 indicates >5 bruises with size >2 centimeter (cm) and/or diffuse petechiae. Each participant summed up the transformed scores across all 11 sites per visit assessment. The total overall score ranges from 0-22 with the higher score indicating worst outcome.
