Efficacy of Avatrombopag in ITP in Phase II and III Trials
Study/Phase | Duration | Location | Number of Patients (n) Enrolled | Main Inclusion Criteria | Main Results |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Bussel et al30 2014 Phase II double-blind, randomized dose-ranging, placebo-controlled, parallel group study |
Randomized study 28 days |
US | Total (n= 64) - Placebo (n= 5) - 2.5 mg (n=15) - 5 mg (n=15) -10 mg (n=14) - 20 mg (n= 15) |
● Age ≥18 years ● ITP ≥3 month ● Platelet counts <30X109/L, or < 50X109/L if receiving steroids ● Failure to respond ≥1 prior line of ITP therapy. |
Platelet response ratea: 0% placebo 13% at 2.5 mg avatrombopag 53% at 5 mg avatrombopag 50% at 10 mg avatrombopag 80% at 20 mg avatrombopag |
Extension part 24 weeks |
Total (n=53) - Responders (n=25) - non-responders (n=28) |
● completed treatment in the randomized part | Overall response: 76% Durable response: 53% 13 out of 24 reduced steroid doses by ≥50% 8 out of 24 discontinued steroids |

Jurczak et al31, 2018 Phase III multicenter, randomized, double- blinded, parallel- group study |
Core study 6 months |
Asia, Australia, and New Zealand, Africa, Europe | Total (n =49) - placebo (n=17) - avatrombopag (n=32) |
● age≥18 years ● ITP≥12 months ● platelet counts<30X109/L ● ≥1 prior line of therapy. ● Initial response to ≥1prior line of therapy or bone marrow examination to rule out other causes of thrombocytopenia |
Duration of a platelet count ≥50X109/L(avatrombopag/placebo) Median: 12.4 vs 0.0 weeks Mean: 12.0 vs 0.0 weeks Durable response rate: 34.4% vs 0.0% |
Extension phase 90 weeks |
Total (n=39) | ● Completed maintenance in a core study or discontinued early due to lack of response ● No safety or tolerability issues |
Note: aPlatelet response: platelet count ≥50x109/L at a given assessment time point.
Abbreviation: ITP, immune thrombocytopenia.
