Brief summary

This is a global, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel group study using avatrombopag to treat adults with thrombocytopenia associated with liver disease. The study will evaluate avatrombopag in the treatment of thrombocytopenia associated with liver disease prior to an elective procedure to reduce the need for platelet transfusions or any rescue procedure for bleeding due to procedural and post-procedural bleeding complications. Participants will be enrolled into 2 cohorts according to mean baseline platelet count and, within each baseline platelet count cohort will be further stratified by risk of bleeding associated with the elective procedure (low, moderate, or high) and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) status (Yes or No).

Detailed description

This study will consist of 3 phases: Prerandomization, Randomization, and a Follow-up Phase. The Prerandomization Phase includes one Screening Visit that will take place from Day -14 through Day -1; the Randomization Phase includes the Baseline Period, Treatment Period, and Procedure Day Period (5 to 8 days after last dose of study drug \[Study Day 10 to 13\]). The Follow-up Phase comprises 2 visits: 7 days post Procedure Day and 30 days after receiving the last dose of study drug. Permitted procedures include: Paracentesis; Thoracentesis; Gastrointestinal endoscopy with or without plans for biopsy, colonoscopy, polypectomy, or variceal banding; Liver biopsy; Bronchoscopy with or without plans for biopsy; Ethanol ablation therapy or chemoembolization for HCC; Vascular catheterization (including right side procedures in participants with pulmonary hypertension); Transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt; Dental procedures; Renal biopsy; Biliary interventions; Nephrostomy tube placement; Radiofrequency ablation; and Laparoscopic interventions.

The WHO bleeding scale is a clinical investigator-assessed five-point scale with Grade 0 = No bleeding, Grade 1 = Petechial bleeding, Grade 2 = Mild blood loss (clinically significant), Grade 3 = Gross blood loss requires transfusion (severe), and Grade 4 = Debilitating blood loss, retinal or cerebral associated with fatality.

Number of Participants Experiencing an Adverse EventFrom date of first dose of study drug up to 30 days after the last dose of study drug, up to approximately 3 years and 2 monthsSafety assessments consisted of monitoring and recording all adverse events (AEs) and serious adverse events, including platelet transfusion-related complications; routine laboratory evaluation for hematology, serum chemistry, and urine values; periodic measurement of vital signs and electrocardiograms (ECGs); the performance of physical examinations; and Doppler sonography. AE severity was graded using Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 4.0, where Grade 1 = mild, Grade 2 = moderate, Grade 3 = Severe, Grade 4 = Life-threatening, and Grade 5 = Death related to the AE. All AEs graded as 4 or 5 were considered to be serious. Treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) were defined as an AE that started on or after the date of first dose of study drug, up to 30 days after the last dose of study drug. Treatment-related AEs were considered by the investigator to be possibly or probably related to study drug.

Safety assessments consisted of monitoring and recording all adverse events (AEs) and serious adverse events, including platelet transfusion-related complications; routine laboratory evaluation for hematology, serum chemistry, and urine values; periodic measurement of vital signs and electrocardiograms (ECGs); the performance of physical examinations; and Doppler sonography. AE severity was graded using Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 4.0, where Grade 1 = mild, Grade 2 = moderate, Grade 3 = Severe, Grade 4 = Life-threatening, and Grade 5 = Death related to the AE.

Treatment-related AEs were considered by the investigator to be possibly or probably related to study drug.

Time frame: From date of first dose of study drug up to 30 days after the last dose of study drug, up to approximately 3 years and 2 months

Population: Safety analysis set included all participants who received at least 1 dose of study drug and had at least 1 postdose safety assessment. One participant in the High Baseline Platelet Count Cohort received 60 mg avatrombopag and hence was included in the \<40×10\^9/L Low Baseline Platelet Count Cohort in all safety analyses.

The WHO bleeding scale is a clinical investigator-assessed five-point scale with Grade 0 = No bleeding, Grade 1 = Petechial bleeding, Grade 2 = Mild blood loss (clinically significant), Grade 3 = Gross blood loss requires transfusion (severe), and Grade 4 = Debilitating blood loss, retinal or cerebral associated with fatality.
