Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of once-daily Oral avatrombopagin subjects with chronic liver diseases and thrombocytopenia prior to elective surgical or diagnostic procedures, to evaluate the safety of short-term administration of avatrombopag and to evaluate the pharmacokinetics (PK) of E5501.

Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Primary Percentage of Participants Experiencing Response Platelet counts (PC) were determined from blood draws. A responder is defined as a participant having an increase of at least 20,000/mm^3 PC from Baseline and a PC greater than 50,000/mm^3 at least once during Day 4 through Day 8. Missing PC assessments at any given time point was considered to be a non-response at that point and were not estimated. For PC measurements taken after the last dose day (end of treatment (EOT)), the postdose windows applied. If there was more than one PC within the same analysis visit window, the following selection rules were applied sequentially to determine which PC was used for that time point: 1) the PC that was closer to the target date was used, 2) if PC were equal-distance in days from the target day, the later one based on measurement date and time was used, and 3) if there was more than one PC on the same day, if it was a baseline record, the largest one was used; if it was a postbaseline record, the smallest one was used. Day 8 (Visit 5, EOT)
Secondary Change in Platelet Count on Day 8 (Visit 5 and/or End of Treatment) From Baseline Platelet counts were determined from blood draws. Missing PC assessments at any given time point was considered to be a non-response at that point and were not estimated. For PC measurements taken after the last dose day (EOT), the postdose windows applied. If there was more than one PC within the same analysis visit window, the following selection rules were applied sequentially to determine which PC was used for that time point: 1) the PC that was closer to the target date was used, 2) if PC were equal-distance in days from the target day, the later one based on measurement date and time was used, and 3) if there was more than one PC on the same day, if it was a baseline record, the largest one was used; if it was a postbaseline record, the smallest one was used. Day 8 (Visit 5, EOT)
Secondary Percentage of Participants Experiencing Dose-response by Visit Platelet counts were determined from blood draws. Missing PC assessments at any given time point was considered to be a non-response at that point and were not estimated. For PC measurements taken after the last dose day (EOT), the postdose windows applied. If there was more than one PC within the same analysis visit window, the following selection rules were applied sequentially to determine which PC was used for that time point: 1) the PC that was closer to the target date was used, 2) if PC were equal-distance in days from the target day, the later one based on measurement date and time was used, and 3) if there was more than one PC on the same day, if it was a baseline record, the largest one was used; if it was a postbaseline record, the smallest one was used. Day 4 (Visit 3), Day 6 ( Visit 4), Day 8 (Visit 5, EOT), 3 Day Post Last Dose (Visit 6), and 7 Day Post Last Dose (Visit 7)
Secondary Percentage of Participants Who Achieved a Platelet Count Greater Than 75,000/mm^3 on Day 4 Platelet counts were determined from blood draws. Missing PC assessments at any given time point was considered to be a non-response at that point and were not estimated. For PC measurements taken after the last dose day (EOT), the postdose windows applied. If there was more than one PC within the same analysis visit window, the following selection rules were applied sequentially to determine which PC was used for that time point: 1) the PC that was closer to the target date was used, 2) if PC were equal-distance in days from the target day, the later one based on measurement date and time was used, and 3) if there was more than one PC on the same day, if it was a baseline record, the largest one was used; if it was a postbaseline record, the smallest one was used. Day 4 (Visit 3)
Secondary Percentage of Participants Who Achieved a Platelet Count Greater Than 100,000/mm^3 on Days 4 and 8 Platelet counts were determined from blood draws. Missing PC assessments at any given time point was considered to be a non-response at that point and were not estimated. For PC measurements taken after the last dose day (EOT), the postdose windows applied. If there was more than one PC within the same analysis visit window, the following selection rules were applied sequentially to determine which PC was used for that time point: 1) the PC that was closer to the target date was used, 2) if PC were equal-distance in days from the target day, the later one based on measurement date and time was used, and 3) if there was more than one PC on the same day, if it was a baseline record, the largest one was used; if it was a postbaseline record, the smallest one was used. Day 4 (Visit 3) and Day 8 (Visit 5, EOT)
