Visit 2.
10. Previous therapy with any other TPO-RAs (e.g., eltrombopag or romiplostim) or recombinant human TPO must have been completed 28 days prior to Day 1/Visit 2.
11. Previous therapy with vitamin K antagonists, antifibrinolytic agents, recombinant activated factor VII, heparin, factor Xa inhibitors, direct thrombin inhibitors, desmopressin, or chronic antiplatelet therapy must have been completed within 7 days of Day 1/Visit 2.
12. Previous therapy with moderate or strong dual inducers or moderate or strong dual inhibitors of cytochrome P450 (CYP)2C9 and CYP3A4 must have been completed within 7 days of Day1/Visit 2.
13. Platelet transfusion, or receipt of blood products containing platelets must have been completed within 7 days of Day 1/Visit 2. Packed red blood cells (RBCs) are permitted.
14. Females of childbearing potential must have a negative urine or serum pregnancy test at Screening and Day 1/Visit 2.
15. Female subjects of childbearing potential and who are sexually active and male subjects who are sexually active must agree to use highly effective methods of contraception.
16. Subject and/or subject’s LAR is willing and able to comply with all aspects of the protocol.
For the EXTENSION phase:
1. Subject and/or the LAR must provide consent and/or assent, as applicable, to continue into the open-label Extension Phase. The consent for the Extension Phase will be part of the consent for the Core Phase.
2. Completed 12 weeks of treatment in the Core Phase or discontinued the Core Phase early due to lack of treatment effects.
3. Female subjects of childbearing potential and who are sexually active and male subjects who are sexually active must agree to use highly effective methods of contraception.

13. Serum total bilirubin >1.5× the upper limit of normal (ULN) for age, alanine transaminase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) >3× the ULN for age.
14. Known allergy to avatrombopag or any of its excipients.
15. Subject is unable to take oral medication or has a malabsorption syndrome or any other uncontrolled gastrointestinal condition.
16. Enrollment in another clinical study with any investigational drug or device within 30 days of Day 1/Visit 2 (or 5 half-lives, whichever is longer); however, participation in observational studies within the previous 30 days is permitted.
