Availability & generic status
We did not find an FDA-approved generic match for this exact strength, form and route. Patent/protection dates below may affect future generic timing.
Why the date isn’t exact: Generic timing can change because patents may be challenged, settled, licensed, added, removed, or worked around with a narrower label — and FDA approval does not always mean a pharmacy can get the generic today.
🛈 What do these terms mean?
- Patent
- Legal protection listed in the Orange Book that may delay generic approval or launch. Issued by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office.
- Substance patent
- Covers the active drug molecule itself — the hardest to design around. A generic generally can’t launch until it expires.
- Formulation (product) patent
- Covers a specific formulation or dosage form. A generic can sometimes work around it with a different formulation.
- Method-of-use patent
- A patent covering one specific approved use of the drug — not necessarily the whole molecule. A generic can sometimes launch with a “skinny label” that carves out the protected use and keeps the others.
- Skinny label
- A generic label that omits a still-patented use when the FDA allows it — letting a generic reach the market for the unprotected uses.
- Exclusivity
- FDA-granted marketing protection, separate from patents — e.g. 5-yr new chemical entity, 7-yr orphan drug, or a +6-month pediatric extension.
- Paragraph IV
- A generic applicant’s formal challenge to a listed patent. It can potentially lead to earlier generic entry, but often involves litigation or a settlement.
- RLD / RS
- Reference Listed Drug — the brand product the FDA uses as the reference for generic applications. Reference Standard — the product the FDA expects generics to compare against in bioequivalence testing.
- TE / AB rating
- FDA therapeutic-equivalence rating. An AB rating generally means the FDA considers a generic therapeutically equivalent to — and substitutable for — the brand.
- LOE (loss of exclusivity)
- The latest patent or exclusivity currently listed — the loss-of-exclusivity / latest-listed-protection date shown on this page. Paragraph-IV challenges and settlements can move the real date earlier; FDA approval and a manufacturer’s decision to market can move it later.
Built from the FDA Orange Book. The bars above are scaled to each protection’s expiry; the red LOE marker is the last one to lapse.

1 INDICATIONS AND USAGE DOPTELET is a thrombopoietin receptor agonist indicated for the treatment of: Thrombocytopenia in adult patients with chronic liver disease who are scheduled to undergo a procedure. ( 1.1 ) Thrombocytopenia in adult patients with chronic immune thrombocytopenia who have had an insufficient response to a previous treatment. ( 1.2 ) Thrombocytopenia in pediatric patients 1 year and older with persistent or chronic immune thrombocytopenia who have had an insufficient response to a previous treatment ( 1.3 )
1.1Treatment of Thrombocytopenia in Patients with Chronic Liver Disease (CLD) DOPTELET is indicated for the treatment of thrombocytopenia in adult patients with chronic liver disease who are scheduled to undergo a procedure.
1.2Treatment of Thrombocytopenia in Adult Patients with Chronic Immune Thrombocytopenia (ITP) DOPTELET is indicated for the treatment of thrombocytopenia in adult patients with chronic immune thrombocytopenia who have had an insufficient response to a previous treatment.
1.3Treatment of Thrombocytopenia in Pediatric Patients 1 Year and Older with Persistent or Chronic Immune Thrombocytopenia (ITP) DOPTELET is indicated for the treatment of thrombocytopenia in pediatric patients 1 year and older with persistent or chronic immune thrombocytopenia who have had an insufficient response to a previous treatment.
⏱️ Dosage and Administration ▾
2 DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION DOPTELET tablets and DOPTELET SPRINKLE are not substitutable on a mg-to-mg basis. DOPTELET SPRINKLE capsules should be opened, and the contents (oral granules) mixed with a soft food or liquid. Administer immediately after mixing.
Do not swallow the capsules whole. Administer DOPTELET tablets and DOPTELET SPRINKLE with food. ( 2.1 , 2.3 , 2.5 ) Chronic Liver Disease : Dose DOPTELET tablets based upon platelet count prior to procedure, orally for 5 days beginning 10 days to 13 days before procedure.
For platelet count less than 40×10 9 /L, the dose is 60 mg (3 tablets) orally once daily; for platelet count 40 to less than 50×10 9 /L the dose is 40 mg (2 tablets) orally once daily. ( 2.2 ) Adult Patients with Chronic Immune Thrombocytopenia and Pediatric Patients 6 Years and Older with Persistent or Chronic Immune Thrombocytopenia : Initiate DOPTELET tablets at 20 mg (1 tablet) orally once daily. Adjust the dose or frequency of dosing to maintain platelet count greater than or equal to 50×10 9 /L.
Do not exceed 40 mg (2 tablets) per day. Pediatric Patients 1 Year to Less than 6 Years with Persistent or Chronic Immune Thrombocytopenia : Initiate DOPTELET SPRINKLE oral granules at 10 mg (content of 1 capsule) orally once daily. Adjust the dose or frequency of dosing to maintain platelet count greater than or equal to 50×10 9 /L.
Do not exceed 20 mg (content of 2 capsules) per day.
2.1Important Use and Administration Instructions Select the recommended product (DOPTELET tablets or DOPTELET SPRINKLE) based on the indication and patient’s age. Administer DOPTELET tablets and DOPTELET SPRINKLE with food. DOPTELET tablets and DOPTELET SPRINKLE are not substitutable on a mg-to-mg basis.
The mixture prepared from the granules in DOPTELET SPRINKLE capsules is more bioavailable than DOPTELET tablets [see Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.3 )] . There is no experience from clinical trials in switching between dosing with the granules and the tablet. If the formulation is switched, monitor platelet counts weekly until stable platelet counts are obtained and adjust dosing as needed before resuming monthly monitoring.
2.2Recommended Dosage of DOPTELET Tablets for Patients with Chronic Liver Disease Begin DOPTELET tablets dosing 10 days to 13 days prior to the scheduled procedure. The recommended daily dose of DOPTELET is based on the patient’s platelet count prior to the scheduled procedure (see Table 1 ). Patients should undergo their procedure 5 days to 8 days after the last dose of DOPTELET.
DOPTELET tablets should be taken orally once daily for 5 consecutive days with food. All 5 days of dosing should be completed. Table 1 : Recommended DOPTELET Tablets Dosage and Duration in Patients with Chronic Liver Disease Scheduled to Undergo a Procedure Platelet Count Recommended DOPTELET Dosage Duration Less than 40×10 9 /L 60 mg (3 tablets) orally once daily 5 days 40×10 9 /L to less than 50×10 9 /L 40 mg (2 tablets) orally once daily 5 days DOPTELET tablets have been investigated only as a single 5-day once daily dosing regimen in clinical trials in patients with chronic liver disease [ see Clinical Studies ( 14.1 ) ] .
DOPTELET should not be administered to patients with chronic liver disease in an attempt to normalize platelet counts. Monitoring : Obtain a platelet count prior to administration of DOPTELET therapy and on the day of a procedure to ensure an adequate increase in platelet count.
2.3Recommended Dosage of DOPTELET Tablets for Adult Patients with Chronic Immune Thrombocytopenia and Pediatric Patients 6 Years and Older with Persistent or Chronic Immune Thrombocytopenia Use the lowest dose of DOPTELET needed to achieve and maintain a platelet count greater than or equal to 50×10 9 /L as necessary to reduce the risk for bleeding. Dose adjustments are based on platelet count response. Do not use DOPTELET to normalize platelet counts.
Initial Dosage : Begin DOPTELET tablets at an initial dosage of 20 mg (1 tablet)… [Excerpted — this section continues on DailyMed.]

⚠️ Warnings and Cautions ▾
5 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS Thrombotic/Thromboembolic Complications: DOPTELET is a thrombopoietin (TPO) receptor agonist and TPO receptor agonists have been associated with thrombotic and thromboembolic complications in patients with chronic liver disease or immune thrombocytopenia. Monitor platelet counts. Monitor for signs and symptoms of thromboembolic events and institute treatment promptly. ( 5.1 )
5.1Thrombotic/Thromboembolic Complications DOPTELET is a thrombopoietin (TPO) receptor agonist and TPO receptor agonists have been associated with thrombotic and thromboembolic complications in patients with chronic liver disease or immune thrombocytopenia. In patients with chronic liver disease, thromboembolic events (portal vein thrombosis) occurred in 0.4% (1/274) of patients receiving DOPTELET. In adult patients with chronic immune thrombocytopenia, thromboembolic events (arterial or venous) occurred in 7% (9/128) of patients receiving DOPTELET.
Consider the potential increased thrombotic risk when administering DOPTELET to patients with known risk factors for thromboembolism, including genetic prothrombotic conditions (e.g., Factor V Leiden, Prothrombin 20210A, Antithrombin deficiency or Protein C or S deficiency) and acquired risk factors (e.g., antiphospholipid syndrome). DOPTELET should not be administered to patients with chronic liver disease or immune thrombocytopenia in an attempt to normalize platelet counts. Monitor platelet counts and follow the dosing guidelines to achieve target platelet counts [see Dosage and Administration ( 2.3 and 2.5 )] .
Monitor patients receiving DOPTELET for signs and symptoms of thromboembolic events and institute treatment promptly.
🤒 Adverse Reactions ▾
6 ADVERSE REACTIONS The following clinically significant adverse reactions are discussed in detail in other sections of the labeling: Thrombotic/Thromboembolic Complications [ see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.1 ) ] In adult patients with chronic liver disease, the most common adverse reactions (≥3%) were pyrexia, abdominal pain, nausea, headache, fatigue, and edema peripheral. ( 6.1 ) In adult patients with chronic immune thrombocytopenia, the most common adverse reactions (≥10%) were headache, fatigue, contusion, epistaxis, upper respiratory tract infection, arthralgia, gingival bleeding, petechiae and nasopharyngitis.
( 6.1 ) In pediatric patients with persistent or chronic immune thrombocytopenia, the most common adverse reactions (≥10%) were viral infection, nasopharyngitis, cough, pyrexia, and oropharyngeal pain.

6.1Clinical Trial Experience Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical trials of a drug cannot be directly compared to rates in the clinical trials of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in practice. Patients with Chronic Liver Disease The safety of DOPTELET was evaluated in two international, identically designed, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trials, ADAPT-1 and ADAPT-2, in which 430 patients with chronic liver disease and thrombocytopenia received either DOPTELET (n=274) or placebo (n=156) daily for 5 days prior to a scheduled procedure, and had 1 post-dose safety assessment.
Patients were divided into two groups based on their mean platelet count at baseline: Low Baseline Platelet Count Cohort (less than 40×10 9 /L) who received DOPTELET 60 mg once daily for 5 days High Baseline Platelet Count Cohort (40 to less than 50×10 9 /L) who received DOPTELET 40 mg once daily for 5 days The majority of patients were males (65%) and median subject age was 58 years (ranging from 19-86 years of age). The racial and ethnic distribution was White (60%), Asian (33%), Black (3%) and Other (3%). The most common adverse reactions (those occurring in ≥3% of patients) in the DOPTELET-treated groups (60 mg or 40 mg) across the pooled data from the two trials are summarized in Table 8.
Table 8 : Adverse Reactions with a Frequency ≥3% in Patients with C hronic L iver D isease Treated with DOPTELET – Pooled Data ADAPT-1 and ADAPT-2 Adverse Reactions Low Baseline Platelet Count Cohort (˂40 × 10 9 /L) High Baseline Platelet Count Cohort (≥40 to ˂50 × 10 9 /L) Combined Baseline Platelet Count Cohort s (˂ 5 0 × 10 9 /L) DOPTELET 60 mg (N=159) % Placebo (N=91) % DOPTELET 40 mg (N=115) % Placebo (N=65) % Total DOPTELET (N=274) % Total Placebo (N=156) % Pyrexia 11 9 8 9 10 9 Abdominal Pain 6 7 7 6 7 6 Nausea 6 8 7 6 7 7 Headache 4 8 7 5 6 6 Fatigue 4 4 3 2 4 3 Edema Peripheral 3 2 4 2 3 2 For the Low Baseline Platelet Count Cohort, the incidence of serious adverse reactions was 7% (11/159) in the 60 mg DOPTELET treatment group.
For the High Baseline Platelet Count Cohort, the incidence of serious adverse reactions was 8% (9/115) in the 40 mg DOPTELET treatment group. The most common serious adverse reaction reported with DOPTELET was hyponatremia. Two DOPTELET-treated patients (0.7%) developed hyponatremia.
Adverse reactions resulting in discontinuation of DOPTELET were anemia, pyrexia, and myalgia; each was reported in a single (0.4%) patient in the DOPTELET (60 mg) treatment group. Adult Patients with Chronic Immune Thrombocytopenia The safety of DOPTELET was evaluated in four clinical trials in adult patients with chronic immune thrombocytopenia: two Phase 3 trials (one randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial, and one randomized, double-blind, active-controlled trial) and two Phase 2 trials (one randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, dose-ranging, trial, and one open-label extens… [Excerpted — this section continues on DailyMed.]

7 DRUG INTERACTIONS Moderate or Strong Dual CYP2C9 and CYP3A4 Inducers or Inhibitors: Dose adjustments are recommended for patients with persistent or chronic immune thrombocytopenia. ( 7.1 )
7.1Effect of Other Drugs on DOPTELET in Patients with Persistent or Chronic Immune Thrombocytopenia Moderate or Strong Dual Inhibitors of CYP2C9 and CYP3A4 Concomitant use with a moderate or strong dual inhibitor of CYP2C9 and CYP3A4 increases avatrombopag AUC [ see Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.3 )] , which may increase the risk of DOPTELET toxicities. Reduce the starting dosage of DOPTELET when used concomitantly with a moderate or strong dual inhibitor of CYP2C9 and CYP3A4 (see Table 4 and Table 7) [ see Dosage and Administration ( 2.4 and 2.6 )] .
In patients starting moderate or strong dual inhibitors of CYP2C9 and CYP3A4 while receiving DOPTELET, monitor platelet counts and adjust DOPTELET dose as necessary (see Table 2 and Table 3; and Table 5 and Table 6) [ see Dosage and Administration ( 2.3 and 2.5 )] . Moderate or Strong Dual Inducers of CYP2C9 and CYP3A4 Concomitant use with a moderate or strong dual inducer of CYP2C9 and CYP3A4 decreases avatrombopag AUC [ see Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.3 )] , which may reduce DOPTELET efficacy. Increase the recommended starting dosage of DOPTELET when used concomitantly with a moderate or strong dual inducer of CYP2C9 and CYP3A4 (see Table 4 and Table 7) [ see Dosage and Administration ( 2.4 and 2.6 )] .
In patients starting moderate or strong dual inducers of CYP2C9 and CYP3A4 while receiving DOPTELET, monitor platelet counts and adjust DOPTELET dose as necessary (see Table 2 and Table 3; and Table 5 and Table 6) [ see Dosage and Administration ( 2.3 and 2.5 )] . Patients with Chronic Liver Disease No dosage adjustments are required for patients with chronic liver disease.
👥 Use in Specific Populations ▾
8 USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS Pregnancy: May cause fetal harm ( 8.1 ) Lactation: Advise not to breastfeed. ( 8.2 )
8.1Pregnancy Risk Summary Based on findings from animal reproduction studies, DOPTELET may cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman ( see Data ). The available data on DOPTELET in pregnant women are insufficient to inform a drug-associated risk of adverse developmental outcomes. In animal reproduction studies, oral administration of avatrombopag resulted in adverse developmental outcomes when administered during organogenesis in rabbits and during organogenesis and the lactation period in rats.
However, these findings were observed at exposures based on an AUC substantially higher than the AUC observed in patients at the maximum recommended dose of 60 mg once daily. Advise pregnant women of the potential risk to a fetus. The estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage for the indicated population is unknown.
All pregnancies have a background risk of birth defect, loss, or other adverse outcomes. In the U.S. general population, the estimated background risk of major birth defects and of miscarriage in clinically recognized pregnancies is 2-4% and 15-20%, respectively. Data Animal Data In embryo-fetal development studies, avatrombopag was administered during organogenesis at doses of 100, 300, and 1000 mg/kg/day in rats and doses of 100, 300, and 600 mg/kg/day in rabbits.
Minimal decreases in fetal weights were observed in rats at the maternally toxic dose of 1000 mg/kg/day with exposures 190 times the human exposure based on AUC. Spontaneous abortions were observed at all doses tested in rabbits and were associated with decreased body weights and food consumption at 300 and 600 mg/kg/day; exposures at the lowest dose of 100 mg/kg/day were 10 times the AUC in patients at the maximum recommended dose of 60 mg once daily. There were no embryo-fetal effects in rats administered avatrombopag at doses up to 100 mg/kg/day (53 times the human exposure based on AUC) or rabbits administered avatrombopag at doses up to 600 mg/kg (35 times the human exposure based on AUC).
In pre- and postnatal development studies in rats, avatrombopag was administered during both the organogenesis and lactation periods at doses ranging from 5 to 600 mg/kg/day. Doses of 100, 300, and 600 mg/kg/day caused maternal toxicity leading to total litter losses, decreased body weight in pups, and increased pup mortality, with the majority of the pup mortality occurring from postnatal days 14 to 21. At a dose of 50 mg/kg/day that did not produce clear maternal toxicity, avatrombopag caused increased pup mortality from postnatal days 4 to 21, and mortality continued through postnatal day 25.
The 50 mg/kg/day dose also decreased body weight gain in the pups, resulting in a delay in sexual maturation. There were no effects on behavioral or reproductive functions in the offspring. The 50 mg/kg/day dose resulted in maternal exposures 43 times and pup exposures approximately 3 times the AUC observed in patients at the maximum recommended dose of 60 mg once daily.
8.2Lactation Risk Summary There is no information regarding the presence of avatrombopag in human milk, the effects on the breastfed child, or the effects on milk production. Avatrombopag was present in the milk of lactating rats. When a drug is present in animal milk, it is likely the drug will be present in human milk.
Due to the potential for serious adverse reactions in a breastfed child from DOPTELET, breastfeeding is not recommended during treatment with DOPTELET and for at least 2 weeks after the last dose ( see Clinical Considerations ). Clinical Considerations Minimizing Exposure A lactating woman receiving DOPTELET for brief periods, such as prior to an invasive procedure, should interrupt breastfeeding and pump and discard breastmilk during treatment and for two weeks after the last dose of DOPTELET in order to minimize exposure to a breastfed child.

8.4Pediatric Use The safety and effectiveness of DOPTELET tablet for the treatment of persistent or chronic ITP have been established in pediatric patients aged 6 years and older. The safety and effectiveness of DOPTELET SPRINKLE for the treatment of persistent or chronic ITP have been established in pediatric patients aged 1 to <6 years. Use of DOPTELET tablet and DOPTELET SPRINKLE for their respective populations is supported by evidence from an adequate and well-controlled study in pediatric patients aged 1 year and older [see Adverse Reactions ( 6.1 ), Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.3 ), and Clinical Studies ( 14.3 )] .
Juvenile Animal Toxicity Data In a 10-week juvenile toxicology study in rats, avatrombopag was administered at doses ranging from 20 to 300 mg/kg/day. There was no test article-related mortality and there were no clinical signs at doses up to 300 mg/kg/day. In the stomach, dose-dependent degeneration, regenerative hyperplasia, and atrophy of the glandular epithelium occurred at 100 and 300 mg/kg/day; exposures at 100 mg/kg/day in male rats were 14 times the AUC in patients at the highest recommended dose of 60 mg once daily.
An increased incidence of background focal mineralization was also observed in the kidneys of females at 300 mg/kg/day (female rat exposure was 50 times the human exposure based on AUC at the 60 mg daily dose).
🧓 Geriatric Use ▾
8.5Geriatric Use There were 112 patients 65 years of age and older in the clinical studies for Chronic Liver Disease and Chronic Immune Thrombocytopenia [see Clinical Studies ( 14.1 and 14.2 )] . Of the total number of DOPTELET-treated patients in these studies, 71 (23%) were 65 years of age and older, while 12 (4%) were 75 years of age and older. Clinical studies of DOPTELET did not include sufficient numbers of subjects aged 65 and over to determine whether they respond differently from younger subjects.
Other reported clinical experience has not identified differences in responses between the elderly and younger patients.
🆘 Overdosage ▾
10 OVERDOSAGE In the event of overdose, platelet count may increase excessively and result in thrombotic or thromboembolic complications. Closely monitor the patient and platelet count. Treat thrombotic complications in accordance with standard of care.
No antidote for DOPTELET overdose is known. Hemodialysis is not expected to enhance the elimination of DOPTELET because avatrombopag is only approximately 6% renally excreted and is highly bound to plasma proteins. Consider contacting the Poison Help line (1-800-222-1222) or a medical toxicologist for additional overdose management recommendations.
🧬 Clinical Pharmacology ▾
12 CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY
12.1Mechanism of Action Avatrombopag is an orally bioavailable, small molecule TPO receptor agonist that stimulates proliferation and differentiation of megakaryocytes from bone marrow progenitor cells, resulting in an increased production of platelets. Avatrombopag does not compete with TPO for binding to the TPO receptor and has an additive effect with TPO on platelet production.
12.2Pharmacodynamics Platelet Response DOPTELET tablet administered to adult patients resulted in dose- and exposure-dependent elevations in platelet counts. The onset of the platelet count increase was observed within 3 to 5 days of the start of treatment, with peak effect after 10 to 13 days. Post treatment, platelet counts decreased gradually, returning to near baseline values.
Cardiac Electrophysiology At exposures similar to that achieved at the 40 mg and 60 mg tablet dose, DOPTELET did not prolong the QT interval to any clinically relevant extent. Mean QTc prolongation effects >20 ms are not anticipated with the highest recommended therapeutic dosing regimen based on analysis of data from the pooled clinical trials in patients with chronic liver disease.
12.3Pharmacokinetics The pharmacokinetics of avatrombopag were determined following administration of DOPTELET tablets, and pharmacokinetic parameters are presented as geometric mean (CV%) unless otherwise specified. Avatrombopag demonstrated dose-proportional pharmacokinetics after single doses from 10 mg (0.5 times the lowest approved dosage) to 80 mg (1.3 times the highest recommended dosage). Healthy subjects administered 40 mg of avatrombopag had a geometric mean (%CV) maximal concentration (C max ) of 166 (84%) ng/mL and area under the time-concentration curve extrapolated to infinity (AUC 0-inf ) of 4198 (83%) ng.hr/mL.
The pharmacokinetics of avatrombopag were similar in both healthy subjects and the chronic liver disease population. The relative bioavailability of DOPTELET SPRINKLE compared to DOPTELET tablet has not been studied. However, a prototype of DOPTELET SPRINKLE demonstrated a 22% higher geometric mean C max and a 38% higher geometric mean AUC for avatrombopag compared to DOPTELET tablet, both administered to healthy adult subjects under the fed condition.

Absorption The median time to maximal concentration (T max ) occurred at 5 to 6 hours post-dose. Effect of Food Avatrombopag AUC 0-inf and C max were not affected when DOPTELET tablets were co-administered with a low-fat meal (500 calories, 3 g fat, 15 g protein, and 108 g carbohydrates) or a high-fat meal (918 calories, 59 g fat, 39 g protein, and 59 g carbohydrates). The variability of avatrombopag exposure was reduced by 40% to 60% with food.
The T max of avatrombopag was delayed by 0 to 2 hours when DOPTELET tablets were administered with a low-fat or high-fat meal (median T max range 5 to 8 hours) compared to the fasted state. Geometric mean exposure increased by approximately 19% and 32% for C max and AUC, respectively, when a prototype of DOPTELET SPRINKLE was administered in the fed state compared to the fasted state, and between-subject variability e… [Excerpted — this section continues on DailyMed.]

🧬 Pharmacokinetics ▾
12.3Pharmacokinetics The pharmacokinetics of avatrombopag were determined following administration of DOPTELET tablets, and pharmacokinetic parameters are presented as geometric mean (CV%) unless otherwise specified. Avatrombopag demonstrated dose-proportional pharmacokinetics after single doses from 10 mg (0.5 times the lowest approved dosage) to 80 mg (1.3 times the highest recommended dosage). Healthy subjects administered 40 mg of avatrombopag had a geometric mean (%CV) maximal concentration (C max ) of 166 (84%) ng/mL and area under the time-concentration curve extrapolated to infinity (AUC 0-inf ) of 4198 (83%) ng.hr/mL.
The pharmacokinetics of avatrombopag were similar in both healthy subjects and the chronic liver disease population. The relative bioavailability of DOPTELET SPRINKLE compared to DOPTELET tablet has not been studied. However, a prototype of DOPTELET SPRINKLE demonstrated a 22% higher geometric mean C max and a 38% higher geometric mean AUC for avatrombopag compared to DOPTELET tablet, both administered to healthy adult subjects under the fed condition.
Table 11 summarizes avatrombopag exposure in a virtual adult population and in pediatric patients with persistent or chronic immune thrombocytopenia.

Absorption The median time to maximal concentration (T max ) occurred at 5 to 6 hours post-dose. Effect of Food Avatrombopag AUC 0-inf and C max were not affected when DOPTELET tablets were co-administered with a low-fat meal (500 calories, 3 g fat, 15 g protein, and 108 g carbohydrates) or a high-fat meal (918 calories, 59 g fat, 39 g protein, and 59 g carbohydrates). The variability of avatrombopag exposure was reduced by 40% to 60% with food.
The T max of avatrombopag was delayed by 0 to 2 hours when DOPTELET tablets were administered with a low-fat or high-fat meal (median T max range 5 to 8 hours) compared to the fasted state. Geometric mean exposure increased by approximately 19% and 32% for C max and AUC, respectively, when a prototype of DOPTELET SPRINKLE was administered in the fed state compared to the fasted state, and between-subject variability estimates for AUC and C max were decreased after administration in the fed state. Distribution Avatrombopag has an estimated mean apparent volume of distribution (%CV) of 180 L (25%).
Avatrombopag is greater than 96% bound to human plasma proteins. Elimination The mean plasma elimination half-life (%CV) of avatrombopag is approximately 19 hours (19%). The mean (%CV) of the apparent clearance of avatrombopag is estimated to be
6.9L/hr (29%). Metabolism Avatrombopag is primarily metabolized by cytochrome P450 CYP2C9 and CYP3A4. Excretion Fecal excretion accounted for 88% of the administered dose, with 34% of the dose excreted as unchanged avatrombopag.
Only 6% of the administered dose was found in urine. Specific Populations Age (1-86 years), sex, race [Whites, African-Americans, and East Asians (i.e., Japanese, Chinese and Koreans)], and any hepatic impairment (Child-Turcotte-Pugh (CTP) grade A, B, and C, or Model for End-Stage Liver Disease (MELD) score 4-23) and mild to moderate renal impairment (CLcr ≥30 mL/min) did not have clinically meaningful effects on the pharmacokinetics of avatrombopag.

🔬 Clinical Studies ▾
14 CLINICAL STUDIES
14.1Patients with Chronic Liver Disease The efficacy of DOPTELET for the treatment of thrombocytopenia in patients with chronic liver disease who are scheduled to undergo a procedure was established in 2 identically-designed multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trials (ADAPT-1 [ NCT01972529 ] and ADAPT-2 [ NCT01976104 ]). In each trial, patients were assigned to the Low Baseline Platelet Count Cohort (<40×10] and ADAPT-2 [ NCT01976104 ]). In each trial, patients were assigned to the Low Baseline Platelet Count Cohort (<40×10 9 /L) or the High Baseline Platelet Count Cohort (≥40 to <50×10 9 /L) based on their platelet count at baseline.
Patients were then randomized in a 2:1 ratio to either DOPTELET or placebo. Patients were stratified according to hepatocellular cancer (HCC) status and risk of bleeding associated with the elective procedure (low, moderate, or high). Patients undergoing neurosurgical interventions, thoracotomy, laparotomy or organ resection were not eligible for enrollment.
Patients in the Low Baseline Platelet Count Cohort received 60 mg DOPTELET or matching placebo once daily for 5 days, and patients in the High Baseline Platelet Count Cohort received 40 mg DOPTELET or matching placebo once daily for 5 days. Eligible patients were scheduled to undergo their procedure (low, moderate, or high bleeding risk) 5 to 8 days after their last dose of treatment. Patient populations were similar between the pooled Low and High Baseline Platelet Count Cohorts and consisted of 66% male and 35% female; median age 58 years and 61% White, 34% Asian, and 3% Black.
In ADAPT-1, a total of 231 patients were randomized, 149 patients were treated with DOPTELET and 82 patients were treated with placebo. In the Low Baseline Platelet Count Cohort, the mean baseline platelet count for the DOPTELET-treated group was 31.1×10 9 /L and for the placebo-treated patients was 30.7×10 9 /L. In the High Baseline Platelet Count Cohort, the mean baseline platelet count for the DOPTELET-treated patients was 44.3×10 9 /L and for placebo-treated patients was 44.9×10 9 /L.
In ADAPT-2, a total of 204 patients were randomized, 128 patients were treated with DOPTELET and 76 patients were treated with placebo. In the Low Baseline Platelet Count Cohort, the mean baseline platelet count for the DOPTELET-treated group was 32.7×10 9 /L and for the placebo-treated patients was 32.5×10 9 /L. In the High Baseline Platelet Count Cohort, the mean baseline platelet count for the DOPTELET-treated patients was 44.3×10 9 /L and for the placebo-treated patients was 44.5×10 9 /L.
Across both baseline platelet count cohorts and the avatrombopag and placebo treatment groups, patients underwent a broad spectrum of types of scheduled procedures that ranged from low to high bleeding risk. Overall, the majority of patients (60.8% [248/430] subjects) in all treatment groups underwent low bleeding risk procedures, 17.2% (70/430) of patients underwent procedures associated with moderate bleeding risk, and 22.1% (90/430) of subjects underwent procedures associated with high bleeding risk. The proportions of patients undergoing low, moderate, and high-risk procedures were similar between the avatrombopag and placebo treatment groups.
The major efficacy outcome was the proportion of patients who did not require a platelet transfusion or any rescue procedure for bleeding after randomization and up to 7 days following an elective procedure. Additional secondary efficacy outcomes were the proportion of patients who achieved platelet counts of >50×10 9 /L on the day of procedure, and the change in platelet count from baseline to procedure day. Responders were defined as patients who did not require a platelet transfusion or any rescue procedure for bleeding after randomization and up to 7 days following a scheduled procedure.
The following were considered rescue therapies to manage the risk of bleeding associated with a procedure: whole blood… [Excerpted — this section continues on DailyMed.]
🧪 Nonclinical Toxicology ▾
13 NONCLINICAL TOXICOLOGY
13.1Carcinogenesis, Mutagenesis, Impairment of Fertility In two-year carcinogenicity studies, avatrombopag was administered orally at doses of 20, 60, and 160 mg/kg/day in mice and doses of 20, 50, and 160 mg/kg/day in rats. Avatrombopag induced a statistically significant increase in neuroendocrine cell (enterochromaffin-like cell, ECL cell) gastric tumors (carcinoids) in the stomach at 160 mg/kg in female rats. The 160 mg/kg/day dose resulted in exposures 117 times the AUC observed in patients at the maximum recommended dose of 60 mg once daily.
The gastric carcinoids were considered likely due to prolonged hypergastrinemia observed in toxicity studies. Hypergastrinemia-related gastric carcinoids in rodents are generally considered to be of low risk or relevance to humans. Avatrombopag was not mutagenic in an in vitro bacterial reverse mutation (Ames) assay or clastogenic in an in vitro human lymphocyte chromosomal aberrations assay or in an in vivo rat bone marrow micronucleus assay.
Avatrombopag did not affect fertility or early embryonic development in male rats at exposures 22 times, or in female rats at exposures 114 times, the AUC observed in patients at the maximum recommended dose of 60 mg once daily.
