Brief summary

A Phase 3b Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of Avatrombopag for the Treatment of Thrombocytopenia in Pediatric Subjects with Immune Thrombocytopenia for ≥6 Months

Subjects will be randomized in to blinded therapy of avatrombopag or placebo in a 3:1 ratio for a period of 12 weeks. Subjects who complete the 12 week treatment period and are eligible may continue to the open label extension phase which will last 2 years.
