Avatrombopag in Aplastic Anemia – Review
- Scope: 10 studies (2023–2025), diverse AA settings (frontline, R/R, elderly, liver disease)
- Efficacy: ORR 55–85%; CR up to ~30%
- Onset: Rapid responses, typically within 1–2 months
- Clinical benefit: Multilineage recovery, reduced transfusion needs
- After eltrombopag: Responses seen even in EPAG-refractory/intolerant patients
- Safety: Favorable profile; no meaningful hepatotoxicity or clonal evolution reported
- Key advantage: Suitable for patients with liver dysfunction, no dietary restrictions
Bottom line: Avatrombopag is an effective, well-tolerated TPO-RA with growing role in AA across disease stages”
