Participant Flow

This was a Phase 3, randomized, double- blind, placebo controlled study of the efficacy and and safety of avatrombopag in subjects with chemotherapy induced thrombocytopenia and non active non-hematologic cancers. The study was conducted by qualified investigators at 71 sites in China, Hungary, Poland, Russia, Serbia, Ukraine, and the United States. The first subject was enrolled 12October2018.

Comparison of avatrombopag 60 mg vs. placebo, adjusted for the number of chemotherapy agents currently receiving per IWRS (1, ≥2). Cycle X nadir is defined as the lowest platelet count value prior to the first dose of study drug; Cycle X+1 nadir is defined as the lowest platelet count value during the period after post-chemotherapy study drug treatment in Cycle X+1 through Chemotherapy Day in Cycle X+2.
