Avatrombopag in adults with immune thrombocytopenia: A multicentre real-life observational study in Madrid, Spain (AVAMAD study).

Immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) is a rare acquired disorder where thrombopoietin-receptor agonists have become mainstays of ITP treatment. With the recent approval of avatrombopag (AVA), real-world studies are essential to evaluate its efficacy and safety. Our study of 66 adult ITP patients treated with AVA showed a high response rate.
