Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

  • Men and women greater than or equal to 18 years of age
  • Participants diagnosed with cITP (greater than or equal to 12 months duration) according to the American Society for Hematology/British Committee for Standards in Hematology (ASH/BCSH) guidelines, and an average of 2 platelet counts greater than 30x10\^9/L). The physical exam should not suggest any disease which may cause thrombocytopenia other than ITP
  • Participants who previously received one or more ITP therapies (including, but not limited to corticosteroids, immunoglobulins, azathioprine, danazol, cyclophosphamide and/or rituximab).
  • Participants must have had either initially responded (platelet count greater than 50x10\^9/L) to a previous ITP therapy or have had a bone marrow examination consistent with ITP within 3 years to rule out myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) or other causes of thrombocytopenia
  • Prothrombin time/International Normalized Ratio (PT/INR) and activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) must have been within 80% to 120% of the normal range with no history of hypercoagulable state
  • A complete blood count within the reference range (including white blood count \[WBC\] differential not indicative of a disorder other than ITP), with the following exceptions: hemoglobin: participants with hemoglobin levels between 10 g/dL (100 g/L) and the lower limit of normal (LLN) are eligible for inclusion, if anemia was clearly attributable to ITP (excessive blood loss); Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) greater than or equal to 1500/uL (1.5x10\^9/L) (elevated WBC/ANC due to corticosteroid treatment is acceptable)

Exclusion

  • Participants with known secondary immune thrombocytopenia (e.g., with known Helicobacter pylori-induced ITP participants infected with known human immunodeficiency virus \[HIV\] or hepatitis C virus \[HCV\] or participants with known systemic lupus erythematosus). (Revised per Amendment 01)
  • Participants with significant medical conditions that may impact on the safety of the participant or interpretation of the study results (e.g., acute hepatitis, active chronic hepatitis; lymphoproliferative disease; myeloproliferative disorders, leukemia)
  • History of MDS
  • History of gastric atrophy (added per Amendment 01)
  • History of pernicious anemia or participants with vitamin B12 deficiency (defined as less than LLN) who have not had pernicious anemia excluded as a cause (added per Amendment 01)
  • Any prior history of arterial or venous thrombosis (stroke, transient ischemic attack, myocardial infarction, deep vein thrombosis or pulmonary embolism), and more than two of the following risk factors: hormone replacement therapy, estrogen-containing hormone replacement or contraceptive therapies, smoking, diabetes, hypercholesterolemia, medication for hypertension, cancer, hereditary thrombophilic disorders (e.g., Factor V Leiden, antithrombin III deficiency, etc.), or any other family history of arterial or venous thrombosis
  • Participants with a history of significant cardiovascular disease (e.g., congestive heart failure \[CHF\] New York Heart Association Grade III/IV, arrhythmia known to increase the risk of thromboembolic events \[e.g., atrial fibrillation\], participants with a QT interval corrected for heart rate of \>450 msec, angina, coronary artery stent placement, angioplasty, coronary artery bypass grafting)
  • Participants with a history of cirrhosis, portal hypertension, and chronic active hepatitis
  • Participants with concurrent malignant disease
  • Use of immunoglobulins (IVIg and anti-D) within 1 week of randomization
  • Splenectomy or use of rituximab within 12 weeks of randomization
  • Use of romiplostim or eltrombopag within 4 weeks of randomization
  • Participants who are currently treated with corticosteroids or azathioprine but have not been receiving a stable dose for at least 4 weeks prior to randomization or have not completed these therapies more than 4 weeks prior to randomization
  • Participants who are currently treated with MMF, CsA, or danazol but have not been receiving a stable dose for at least 12 weeks prior to randomization or have not completed these therapies more than 4 weeks prior to randomization
  • Use of cyclophosphamide or vinca alkaloid regimens within 4 weeks of randomization
  • Participants who are currently treated with PPIs or H2 antagonist therapy but have not been receiving a stable dose for at least 6 weeks prior to randomization or have not completed these therapies more than 2 weeks prior to randomization
  • Fasting gastrin-17 blood levels exceeding the ULN at Screening for participants not on PPIs or H2 antagonists (Revised per Amendment 01)
  • Fasting gastrin-17 blood levels exceeding 1.5 times the upper limit of normal (ULN) at Screening for participants on PPIs or H2 antagonists (Added per Amendment 01)
  • Blood creatinine exceeding ULN by more than 20% OR total albumin below the lower limit of normal (LLN) by 10%
  • Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) OR aspartate aminotransferase (AST) levels exceeding 3 times the ULN or total bilirubin exceeding 2 times the ULN
  • Participants with a history of cancer treatment with cytotoxic chemotherapy and/or radiotherapy.
  • Participants with a history of ITP treatment with cytotoxic chemotherapy are still eligible for enrollment.
  • Females who are pregnant (positive beta-human chorionic gonadotropin positive \[B-hCG\] test) or breastfeeding
  • Participants with a known allergy to avatrombopag (E5501) or its excipients
