You may be eligible if
1. Adult subjects (18 years of age or older) with low or intermediate-1 IPSS risk MDS and stable disease.
2. Subjects must have a platelet count taken within the 4 weeks prior to randomization that is \<30 Gi/L.
3. Subjects must be ineligible or relapsed or refractory to receive other treatment options (such as azacitidine or lenalidomide) and must be ineligible to receive intensive chemotherapy or autologous/allogeneic stem cell transplantation.
4. Subjects must have platelet count and platelet transfusion data available over a period of 8 weeks prior to randomization.
5. During the 2 months prior to randomization, subjects must have a baseline Bone Marrow examination which includes cytomorphology and cytogenetics. Histopathology should be performed.
6. Erythropoiesis-stimulating agents (ESAs) in anemic subjects or granulocyte colonystimulating factor (G-CSF) in subjects with severe neutropenia and recurrent infections are allowed during the study as per accepted standards. Subjects who enter the study on ESAs or G-CSF should continue at the same dose schedule until the optimal dose of study medication has been established.

8. Subject is able to understand and comply with protocol requirements and instructions.
9. Subject has signed and dated informed consent.
10. Adequate baseline organ function defined by the criteria below:
total bilirubin (except for Gilbert's Syndrome) ≤ 1.5 x Upper Limit Normal Alanine aminotransferase and Aspartate aminotransferase ≤ 3 x Upper Limit Normal creatinine ≤ 2 x Upper Limit Normal albumin must not be below the lower limit of normal by more than 20%.
11. Subject is practicing an acceptable method of contraception. Female subjects (or female partners of male subjects) must either be of non-childbearing potential (hysterectomy, bilateral oophorectomy, bilateral tubal ligation or post-menopausal \>1 year), or of childbearing potential and use of an highly effective method of contraception from 2 weeks prior to administration of study medication, throughout the study, and 28 days after completion or premature discontinuation from the study.
You may not be if
1. MDS with intermediate-2 or high IPSS risk.
2. History of treatment for cancer other than MDS with systemic chemotherapy and/or radiotherapy within the last 2 years.
3. History of treatment with romiplostim or other Thrombopoietin receptor agonists.
4. Pre-existing cardiovascular disease (including congestive heart failure, New York Heart Association Grade III/IV), or arrhythmia known to increase the risk of thromboembolic events (e.g. persistent atrial fibrillation), or subjects with a QTc \>450 msec (QTc \>480 msec for subjects with Bundle Branch Block).
5. BM fibrosis that leads to an inability to aspirate marrow for assessment.
6. Peripheral monocytosis \> 1000/uL prior to Day 1 of study medication.
7. Leukocytosis \>=25,000/uL prior to Day 1 of study medication.
8. Female subjects who are nursing or pregnant (positive serum or urine Beta-human chorionic gonadotropin \[B-hCG\] pregnancy test) at screening or pre-dose on Day 1.
9. Current alcohol or drug abuse.
10. Treatment with an Investigational Product within 30 days or 5 half-lives (whichever is longer) preceding the first dose of study medication.
