blank controlavatrombopagNo intervention aiming at preventing thrombocytopenia will be taken after first cycle. Avatrombopag as salvage treatment will be administered to patients suffering from thrombocytopenia with nadir platelet count \< 50 × 109/L at a dose of 60mg/day until there is drug-withdrawal indication.
primary preventionavatrombopagAs the primary prevention of thrombocytopenia induced by cytarabine-based chemotherapy, Avatrombopag will be administered at a dose of 60mg/day on days -3\~-1 and 3\~9, for a total of 10 doses. On the condition that patients have platelet counts \<50 × 10 9 /L before next cycle, Avatrombopag will be administered at a dose of 60mg/day until there is drug-withdrawal indications. Platelet transfusions were administered to patients when the platelet count was less than 10×109 /L. Drug-withdrawal indications: PLT ≥ 100×109/L during salvage treatment or platelet count increases by 50×109/L, comparing with baseline level. When platelet count is higher than 400×109/L during this study, researchers determine whether avatrombopag is discontinued
