E.2 Objective of the trial

E.2.1

Main objective of the trial

To demonstrate that the addition of ianalumab (either dose) to standard of care, eltrombopag, prolongs Time to Treatment Failure (TTF) compared to eltrombopag alone in participants with primary ITP who have had an insufficient response to or relapsed after first-line treatment with corticosteroids

E.2.2

Secondary objectives of the trial

1. To assess quality, time to and duration of response in each treatment arm
2. To assess the rate of participants who successfully taper and discontinue eltrombopag in each treatment arm
3. To assess the incidence and severity of bleeding in each treatment arm
4. To assess the need for rescue treatments in each treatment group
5. To evaluate treatment effects on ITP related symptoms, functioning, and health-related quality of life (HFRQoL)
6. To assess B-Cell levels and immunoglobulin (lg) levels
7. To assess ianalumab pharmacokinetics (PK)
8. To assess the immunogenicity of ianalumab

E.2.3

Trial contains a sub-study

-start of a new ITP treatment
-need for a rescue treatment
-ineligibility to taper or inability to discontinue eltrombopag
-death

E.5.1.1

Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point

Randomization to end of study (up to 39 months after randomization of last participant)

E.5.2

Secondary end point(s)

1. Percentage of participants with any platelet count of at least 100 G/L in the absence of rescue treatment or new ITP treatment
2. Percentage of participants with any platelet count of at least 50 G/L in the absence of rescue treatment or new ITP treatment
3. Percentage of participants with a best response rate by either response or complete response
4. Time from randomization to date of first response and time from randomization to date of first complete response
5. Time from achievement of response to treatment failure
6. Stable response in each treatment group
7. Time from achievement of complete response to loss of complete response
8. Probability to be treatment failure-free (as defined for the primary efficacy endpoint) after the end of treatment period
9. Percentage of participants reporting bleeding events according to WHO bleeding scale
10. Number of participants who are in need of rescue treatment in each treatment arm
11. Percentage of participants who are in need of rescue treatment
12. The Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) Short Form v1.0 Fatigue 13a includes 13 items that assess fatigue in adults.
13. The ITP-PAQ is a 44 item scale for measuring HRQoL in adults with ITP across ten scales: Symptoms, BotherPhysical Health, Fatigue/Sleep, Activity, Fear, Psychological Health, Work, Social Activity, Women's Reproductive Health, overall Qol. Each item is rated on a Likert
type scale. Each scale is scored from O to 100. Higher scores represent better HRQoL
14. Change from baseline in the frequency (percentage within CD45) and absolute number of CD19+ B-cell counts
15. Time to B-cell recovery defined as ≥80% of baseline or ≥ 50 cells/µL
16. Change from baseline in immunoglobulin levels
17. AUClast: Area under the curve from time zero to the last measurable concentration sampling time (tlast) AUCtau: Area under the curve calculated to the end of a dosing interval
(tau)
18. Cmax: Maximum (peak) observed plasma, blood, serum or other body fluid drug concentration
19. Tmax: Time to reach maximum (peak) observed plasma, blood, serum or other body fluid drug concentration
20. Racc: Accumulation ratio calculated using AUC values obtained after the last and first dose
21. Anti-drug antibodies (ADA) will be evaluated in samples collected from all participants assessing the immunogenicity of ianalumab

E.5.2.1

Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point

1-3,5, 7,9-11,14-16: Randomization to end of study (up to 39 months after randomization of last participant)
