- Percentage of Subjects Who do Not Require Platelet Transfusion, Dose Reduction in Chemotherapy by 15%, or Chemotherapy Delay by >=4 Days [ Time Frame: Randomization up to 33 days ]
- Duration of Severe Thrombocytopenia Defined as a Platelet Count <50 x 10^9/L [ Time Frame: Randomization up to 33 days ]The duration of severe thrombocytopenia is defined as the total number of days with a platelet count <50×10^9/L during the period after post-chemotherapy study drug treatment in Cycle X+1 through Chemotherapy Day of Cycle X+2.
- Change in Platelet Count From Baseline (Nadir) [ Time Frame: Randomization up to 33 days ]
Comparison of avatrombopag 60 mg vs. placebo, adjusted for the number of chemotherapy agents currently receiving per IWRS (1, ≥2).
Cycle X nadir is defined as the lowest platelet count value prior to the first dose of study drug; Cycle X+1 nadir is defined as the lowest platelet count value during the period after post-chemotherapy study drug treatment in Cycle X+1 through Chemotherapy Day in Cycle X+2.
- Percentage of Subjects Who Did Not Have Major or Non-major Clinically Relevant Bleeding During the Period After Post-chemotherapy Study Drug Treatment in Cycle X+1 Through Chemotherapy Day of Cycle X+2. [ Time Frame: Randomization up to 33 days ]
