  1. HETROM-2.5, dosage was titrated from an initial dose of once-daily 2.5 mg hetrombopag; HETROM-5, dosage was titrated from an initial dose of once-daily 5 mg hetrombopag; *thrombocytopenia was defined as platelet count was decreased compared with that observed at baseline. AE, adverse event; SAE, serious adverse event
