and/or treated within the past 5 years, except for subjects with localised basal or
squamous cell carcinoma treated by local excision or subjects with malignancies who
have been adequately treated and, in the opinion of the oncologist, have an excellent
chance of cancer-free survival Pregnant or nursing women Males with a female partner
who is pregnant History of alcohol/drug abuse or dependence within 6 months of the
study start (unless participating in a controlled rehabilitation programme) Treatment
with an investigational drug or IFN within 30 days or 5 half-lives (whichever is
longer) of the screening visit History of platelet clumping that prevents reliable
measurement of platelet counts History of major organ transplantation with an existing
functional graft Thyroid dysfunction not adequately controlled Subjects planning to
have cataract surgery Evidence of portal vein thrombosis on abdominal imaging within 3

Summary
Brief summary
The purpose of this study is to assess the ability of eltrombopag to maintain a platelet
count sufficient to facilitate initiation of antiviral therapy, to minimise antiviral therapy
dose reductions and to avoid permanent discontinuation of antiviral therapy. The clinical
benefit of eltrombopag will be measured by the proportion of subjects who are able to achieve
a Sustained Virological Response (SVR).
