Summary of Clinical Use ![]() |
Lusutrombopag was first approved in Japan in 2015, to increase platelet count (and thus reduce bleeding risk) in patients with chronic liver disease-induced thrombocytopenia and who are scheduled for invasive surgery [2]. FDA approval for the same use was granted in July 2018 [1]. Lusutrombopag has completed Phase 2 clinical evaluation in patients with autoimmune thrombocytopenia (NCT01129024). |
