Arm | Intervention/treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: Group B
Group B is a dose escalation phase designed to determine the optimal biological dose of eltrombopag in subjects with sarcoma who received chemotherapy treatment with Adriamycin and Ifosfamide
|
Drug: eltrombopag
Dosing of sarcoma subjects with eltrombopag after treatment with Adriamycin and Ifosfamide. |
Experimental: Group A
Group A will be used for further exploration of the optimal biological dose (as initially established by completion of Group B), by using 2 different dosing schedules of eltrombopag.
|
Drug: eltrombopag
Dosing of sarcoma subjects with eltrombopag after treatment with Adriamycin and Ifosfamide. |
- Safety and tolerability endpoints will consist of the evaluation of adverse events (AE), and changes from baseline in vital signs and clinical laboratory parameters [ Time Frame: Approximately 42 weeks ]
- OBD will be determined by evaluating platelet count time course data, platelet nadirs, degree and duration of thrombocytopenia, and platelet count recovery from nadir [ Time Frame: Approximately 18 weeks ]
- Eltrombopag AUC(0-t) [ Time Frame: Approximately 4 weeks ]
- Doxorubicin and doxorubicinol PK [ Time Frame: Approximately 4 weeks ]
