Brief Summary:

Primary immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) is a rare disease that results in low levels of platelets - the cells that help blood clot.

The main aim of the study is to check for side effects from taking TAK-079 at three different dose levels. Another aim is to learn if TAK-079 can increase the platelet count in people with ITP.

In addition to receiving stable background therapy for ITP, participants will receive an injection of either TAK-079 or a placebo once a week for 2 months. A placebo looks like TAK-079 but will not have any medicine in it. After treatment, all participants will be followed-up for another 2 months.

Then, participants who received TAK-079 will continue to be followed-up for an extra 4 months. Participants who received the placebo and would like to receive TAK-079 may be able to do this in an extension period in the study.


Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Primary Immune Thrombocytopenia Drug: Placebo Drug: TAK-079 Phase 2

Detailed Description:

The drug being tested in this study is called TAK-079. TAK-079 is being tested to treat people who have primary immune thrombocytopenia (ITP). This study will evaluate the safety and biologic activity of TAK-079 or matching placebo in combination with stable ITP background therapy.

The study will enroll approximately 36 to 54 participants. In Part A of the study, participants will be randomly assigned (by chance, like flipping a coin) to one of the three treatment groups. Those who received placebo in this period will have the choice to receive TAK-079 after a safety follow-up period and will be randomized to one of the two open-label TAK-079 treatment arms. An unblinded safety review will take place once a minimum of 24 evaluable participants are available for analysis in Part A to decide whether to open enrollment into Part B.

In Part B participants will be randomly assigned to one of two treatment groups. Those who received placebo in this period will have the choice to receive study drug after a safety follow-up period in a single open-label TAK-079 treatment arm.

This multi-center trial will be conducted worldwide. All participants will be followed for at least 8 weeks in a Safety Follow-up Period, and a 16-week Long-term Follow-up Period after the 8 weeks of treatment.

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Percentage of Participants with at Least One Grade 3 or Higher Treatment Emergent Adverse Event (TEAE), Serious Adverse Event (SAE), and Adverse Event (AE) Leading to TAK-079 Discontinuation [ Time Frame: From the first dose of study drug up to Week 32 ]

Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Percentage of Participants with Platelet Response [ Time Frame: Up to Week 32 ]
    Platelet response is defined as a platelet count ≥50,000/microliter (μL) and ≥20,000/μL above baseline on at least 2 visits without a dosing period-permitted rescue treatment in the previous 4 weeks and without any other previous rescue therapy.

  2. Percentage of Participants with Complete Platelet Response [ Time Frame: Up to Week 32 ]
    Complete platelet response is defined as a platelet count ≥100,000/μL on at least 2 visits without a dosing period-permitted rescue treatment in the previous 4 weeks and without any other previous rescue therapy.

  3. Percentage of Participants with Clinically Meaningful Platelet Response [ Time Frame: Up to Week 32 ]
    A clinically meaningful platelet response is defined as a platelet count ≥20,000/μL above baseline on at least 2 visits without a dosing period-permitted rescue treatment in the previous 4 weeks and without any other previous rescue therapy.

  4. Percentage of Participants with Hemostatic Platelet Response [ Time Frame: Up to Week 32 ]
    A hemostatic platelet response is defined for participants with a baseline platelet count of <15,000/μL who achieve a platelet count of ≥30,000/μL and ≥20,000/μL above baseline on at least 2 visits without a dosing period-permitted rescue treatment in the previous 4 weeks and without any other previous rescue therapy.

Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

  1. Diagnosed with ITP that has persisted for ≥3 months, diagnosed in accordance to The American Society of Hematology 2011 Evidence-based Practice Guideline for Immune Thrombocytopenia or the International Consensus Report on The Investigation and Management of Primary Immune Thrombocytopenia as locally applicable.
  2. Has a mean platelet count of <30,000/μL (and individually ≤35,000/μL) on at least 2 measurements at least 1 week apart during screening.
