Percentage of Participants Who Had Thrombocytopenia-induced Dose Modification [Day 1 up to Week 12]. Number, percentage of participants (95% Confidence Interval). Romiplostim (n=109): 84.4 (76.21 to 90.64); Placebo (n=56): 35.7 (23.36 to 49.64). Analysis, Romiplostim vs Placebo: Odds Ratio (OR) 10.16 (95% CI 4.44 to 23.72); p=< 0.001; Cochran-Mantel-Haenszel; superiority.

Platelet Count Nadir at the End of the Treatment Period [Up to 21 weeks]. Least Squares Mean, 10^9 platelets per L (95% Confidence Interval). Romiplostim (n=109): 77.3 (66.5 to 88.0); Placebo (n=56): 51.1 (36.4 to 65.8). Analysis, Romiplostim vs Placebo: Mean difference 26.1 (95% CI 7.9 to 44.4); p=0.005; General linear model; superiority.

Kaplan-Meier Estimate of Time to First Platelet Response [Up to 21 weeks]. Median, weeks (95% Confidence Interval). Romiplostim (n=109): 1.1 (NA to NA) [The upper and lower 95% CIs of the median were not estimable as no participants were censored or had any events for the interval from the first quarter to the median month (i.e., no variability).]; Placebo (n=56): 2.1 (1.1 to 3.0). Analysis, Romiplostim vs Placebo: Hazard Ratio (HR) 2.673 (95% CI 1.808 to 3.952); p=< 0.001; Cox proportional hazards; superiority.

Duration-adjusted Event Rate of Bleeding Events in the Treatment Period [Up to 21 weeks]. Number, bleeding events per 100 subject-years. Romiplostim (n=109): 4.0; Placebo (n=56): 7.6. Analysis, Romiplostim vs Placebo: Hazard Ratio (HR) 0.53 (95% CI 0.04 to 6.77); p=0.63; Andersen-Gill model; superiority.

Overall Survival [From Day 1 up to 1 year after last dose of investigational product (IP) (max 1869 days)]. Median, months (95% Confidence Interval). Romiplostim (n=109): 21.0 (15.4 to 45.3); Placebo (n=56): 46.0 (22.2 to NA) [As more than half of the participants were censored, not enough deaths occurred to estimate CI Upper Limit.].

Percentage of Participants Who Had Platelet Transfusions During the Treatment Period [Up to 21 weeks]. Number, percentage of participants (95% Confidence Interval). Romiplostim (n=109): 1.8 (0.22 to 6.47); Placebo (n=56): 0.0 (0.00 to 6.38).
