Brief Summary

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the most common malignant tumors in the world, accounting for the second leading cause of cancer death in China.Surgical treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma is the most important means for long-term survival of patients with hepatocellular carcinoma, including hepatectomy and liver transplantation.Chronic liver disease caused by hepatitis B infection is the main pathogenic factor of liver cancer in China. Meanwhile, nearly 80% of patients with hepatocellular carcinoma are complicated with cirrhosis, and the incidence of thrombocytopenia in patients with cirrhosis is reported to be as high as 78%.Many previous studies have found that thrombocytopenia is closely related to perioperative outcome of hepatocellular carcinoma.The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of avatripopa in the treatment of thrombocytopenia in patients with primary hepatocellular carcinoma undergoing elective hepatectomy and its effect on perioperative outcome.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • Percentage of patients with a platelet count ≥75×10^9/L and an increase of platelet count more than 20% from baseline

    The Percentage of patients in the treatment group with platelet count ≥75×10\^9/L (the highest test value of of platelet count was taken on day 9-12 of treatment) and an increase of platelet count more than 20% from baseline before operation.

    on day 9-12 of treatment

  • Comparison of total amount of postoperative drainage fluid between treatment group and control group

    Comparison of total amount of postoperative drainage fluid on day 1, 3 and 5 after surgery between treatment group and control group

    on day 1-5 after surgery

Secondary Outcomes (7)

  • Comparison of intraoperative blood loss

    During surgery

  • Proportion of patients receiving remedial treatment due to bleeding risk after surgery

    on day 0-30 after surgery

  • Indwelling time of drainage tube

    on day 0-10 after surgery

  • Red blood cell count and hemoglobin content of drainage fluid

    on day 1-5 after surgery

  • Postoperative hospitalization time

    on 0-30 day after surgery

  • +2 more secondary outcomes

Study Arms (1)

patients with primary hepatocellular carcinoma undergoing elective hepatectomy

The baseline platelet count before enrollment was \< 75×10\^9/L and \> 30×10\^9/L.The primary clinical diagnosis of hepatocellular carcinoma was confirmed, and the CNLC stages were Ia and Ib.An elective hepatectomy, including laparotomy or laparoscopic hepatectomy, except hepatectomy combined with splenectomy or radiofrequency ablation.

Drug: Avatrombopag

Interventions

On the basis of conventional treatment, Avatrombopag was added, 30×10\^9/L \< platelet count \< 50×10\^9/L patients received Avatrombopag 60mg/d, 50×10\^9/L≤ platelet count \< 75×10\^9/L patients received Avatrombopag 40mg/d for 5 consecutive days, and waited for a period of time after drug withdrawal.Surgery is expected to take place on day 10-13 of the initial dose.
