- To evaluate the effectiveness of intravenous rhTPO versus placebo in reducing the cumulative proportion of patients who experience severe chemotherapy induced thrombocytopenia.
- Identify the effect of rhTPO on the number of platelet transfusions.
- Evaluate the severity and duration of thrombocytopenia and neutropenia associated with rhTPO prophylaxis.
- Quantify the effect of rhTPO on the occurrence of any bleeding events associated with thrombocytopenia.
- Assess the likelihood that patients were to have adequate hematological recovery to allow on-time chemotherapy administration in the subsequent cycles.
- Assess the safety of multiple IV doses of rhTPO.
- Determine the occurrence and clinical implications of any anti-TPO antibodies.
- Assess the antitumor activity of AI chemotherapy.
- Evaluate the impact of rhTPO prophylaxis on health economics/cost effectiveness.
- Evaluate the impact of rhTPO prophylaxis on patient quality of life.
- Determine serum concentrations of TPO in the context of rhTPO and chemotherapy administration
