Clinical Trial Summary

In this study, investigators aimed to evaluate the efficacy of Avatrombopag in thrombocytopenic patients with chronic liver disease undergoing an elective invasive procedure through a prospective, non-randomized controlled, multicenter clinical trial. The patients were non-randomly assigned to the Avatrombopag group (119 patients) and the conventional treatment group (357 patients). The primary endpoint was the proportion of patients not requiring prophylactic platelet transfusion or rescue therapy due to bleeding from grouping up to 10 days post-procedure. Second endpoints included the proportion of patients achieving a platelet count of ≥50x10^9/L and the mean change in platelet count from baseline at the time before the procedure, the proportion of patients requiring platelet transfusion and the mean platelet transfusion units per capita, the incidence of bleeding events (WHO≥2 and requiring rescue therapy), the imaging evaluations of bleeding events, the incidence of adverse events, the changes in life quality between two groups before and after treatment, and the pharmacoeconomic index of two groups. Note: According to the results of interim statistical analysis (200-300 cases), it is up to the sponsor to decide whether to terminate the study in advance or increase the number of included cases at a later stage.


Description:

Thrombocytopenia is a common complication of chronic liver disease (CLD), which severity increases with the aggravation of CLD. TPO, the primary physiological regulator of platelet production, is mainly produced by the liver. With the progressive liver injury in patients with CLD, TPO production decreases, resulting in the reduction of platelet production and thrombocytopenia, which cause the significantly increased risk of bleeding during the invasive procedure in these patients and pose a severe challenge to clinical management. Platelet transfusion is a standard clinical treatment for CLD-related thrombocytopenia. Whether prophylactic platelet transfusion is needed before elective invasive procedure depends on the level of platelet count and the judgment of medical staff on the risk of bleeding in those procedures. Clinically, without effective preventive treatment in severe thrombocytopenia (PLT< 50×10^9/L), the risk of bleeding in related procedures is high, the hospitalization is prolonged after bleeding, and other post-procedure complications may occur. However, repeated prophylactic platelet transfusion may lead to ineffective platelet transfusion. ADAPT-1 and ADAPT-2 were identical design randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled, international multicenter phase III clinical trials. They confirmed that 1. Avatrombopag could significantly increase the platelet count in patients with chronic liver disease with severe thrombocytopenia (PLT<50×10^9/L), thus reducing the proportion of platelet transfusion or rescue due to bleeding in adult patients with chronic liver disease-associated thrombocytopenia undergoing elective invasive procedures; 2. In terms of safety, the incidence of adverse events in the Avatrombopag group was comparable to that in the placebo group. At present, Avatrombopag has been successively approved in Europe, the United States, and China for adult patients with chronic liver disease-associated thrombocytopenia undergoing elective invasive procedures. Avatrombopag is effective and safe in raising platelet count in patients with chronic liver disease. In addition, it has the characteristics of no risk of neutralizing antibody generation from small molecules and convenient oral administration. The purpose of this study was to observe the clinical benefit of Avatrombopag to raise platelet count in adult patients with chronic liver disease-associated thrombocytopenia who received elective high-risk invasive procedures and to validate the efficacy and safety of Avatrombopag further in Chinese population with different spectrum of etiology in chronic liver disease. Note: According to the results of interim statistical analysis (200-300 cases), it is up to the sponsor to decide whether to terminate the study in advance or increase the number of included cases at a later stage.

Patients with chronic liver disease undergo elective invasive procedures with high bleeding risk. The invasive procedures include liver/kidney biopsy or ablation, biliary drainage/stent implantation, cholecystostomy, transjugular intrahepatic portal venous shunt, nephrostomy and catheterization, chemotherapy embolization, abdominal/pelvic/retroperitoneal/mediastinal biopsy or ablation, endoscopic polypectomy, endoscopic stricture dilation or mucosal resection, balloon-assisted enteroscopy, percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy, endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography with sphincterotomy (ERCP + EST), endoscopic ultrasound with fine-needle aspiration (EUS-FNA), cyst gastrostomy, dental extraction, angiography or interventional venography and therapeutic coronary angiography such as PCI), and intraarticular injection, etc.; 4. Be able to understand the study and is willing to follow all study procedures, and voluntarily sign informed consent before screening; 5. According to the opinions of the researchers, it can meet the requirements of this study. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Subjects with a history of arterial or venous thrombosis within six months before baseline; 2. Subjects with a known history of the hereditary prethrombotic syndrome include thrombin factor V Leiden mutation, prothrombin G20210A mutation, or hereditary antithrombin III (ATIII) deficiency; 3. Subjects could not suspend anticoagulants or antiplatelet therapy within one week preoperatively, such as heparin (within 24 hours before the procedure for Low molecular weight heparin), warfarin, rivaroxaban, dipyridamole, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, aspirin, verapamil, ticlopidine, clopidogrel, glycoprotein IIb/IIIa antagonists, and erythropoietin, etc.; 4. Subjects could not suspend Chinese patent medicines within three days before the procedure to promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis, such as pseudo-ginseng, red-rooted salvia, etc.; 5. Subjects received thrombopoietin receptor agonists within two weeks before enrolment, such as rhuTPO, Romiplostim, Eltrombopag, Avatrombopag, or Lusutrombopag, etc. Subjects received rhIL-11 within two weeks before enrolment. Moreover, subjects received platelet transfusion within one week before enrolment; 6. Subjects with thrombocytopenia caused by primary blood diseases (immune thrombocytopenia, myelodysplastic syndrome, etc.) or drugs (such as chemotherapy drugs, targeted therapy drugs, immune checkpoint inhibitors, etc.). Exceptions: Subjects are allowed to receive targeted drugs that do not cause thrombocytopenia, provided that these targeted therapy drugs are discontinued for a while to reduce the risk of bleeding, as follows: Bevacizumab for four weeks (6 weeks for patients with coagulation abnormality), lumvaritinib, sorafenib, pazopanib, axitinib, cabozantinib, anlotinib, apatinib, nidanib, and sunitinib for one week, and fuquanitinib for two weeks, etc.; 7. Subjects scheduled for splenic embolization (excluding those with persistent low platelet counts after splenic embolization or splenectomy); 8. Concomitant medical histories (e.g., gastrointestinal bleeding within three months; high risk of thrombosis, e.g., portal vein blood flow velocity < 10cm/s) may prevent subjects from completing the study safely; 9. Subjects are allergic to avatrombopag or any of its excipients; 10. A woman who is pregnant or who intends to become pregnant; 11. Subjects participate in another clinical study using any exploratory drug or device within 30 days before their baseline visit; Participation in observational studies is permitted; 12. The investigator considers that any accompanying medical history of the subject may affect the subject's ability to complete the study safely.
