Title: Pragmatic, Randomized Optimal Platelet and Plasma Ratios
Brief Summary: Pragmatic, Randomized, Optimal Platelet and Plasma Ratios (PROPPR)is a Phase III trial designed to evaluate the difference in 24-hour and 30-day mortality among subjects predicted to receive massive transfusion (\[MT\] (defined as receiving 10 units or more red blood cells (RBCs) within the first 24 hours). The goal of PROPPR is to improve the basis on which clinicians make decisions about transfusion protocols for massively bleeding patients.

PROPPR is a Resuscitation Outcomes Consortium (ROC) Protocol. ROC is funded by the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI), the United States' Department of Defense (DoD) and the Defence Research and Development Canada. PROPPR will be conducted as a Phase III trial at Level I Adult Trauma Centers in North America.

Exclusion Criteria: Hospitals not meeting inclusion.

* Initiated transfusion of at least one unit of blood component within the first hour of arrival or during prehospital transport, and
* Predicted to receive a MT by exceeding the threshold score of either the Assessment of Blood Consumption (ABC) score or the attending trauma physician's judgment criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

* Received care (as defined as receiving a life saving intervention) from an outside hospital or healthcare facility (Procedures and care given at an outside health facility cannot be documented or controlled resulting in a high variability of standards of care and clinical outcomes.)

* Known Do Not Resuscitate (DNR) prior to randomization
* Enrolled in a concurrent, ongoing interventional, randomized clinical trial
* Patients who have activated the "opt-out" process or patients/legally authorized representatives that refuse blood products on arrival to ED.
C: Inclusion Criteria:

* Male and female subjects, 18 years of age or more with chronic liver disease.
* Child-Pugh score of 12 or less.
* Model of End Stage Liver Disease (MELD) score of 24 or less.
* Subjects who, in the opinion of the investigator, are appropriate candidates to undergo an elective invasive procedure and who require a platelet transfusion to manage the risk of bleeding associated with the procedure.
* A baseline platelet count \<50,000/µL.
* A baseline serum sodium level \>130mEq/L.
* Haemoglobin concentration \>8g/dL stable for at least one month.
* A female is eligible to enter and participate in the study if she is of:

Non-childbearing potential (i.e., physiologically incapable of becoming pregnant) including any female who:

* Has had a hysterectomy

* Has had a bilateral tubal ligation
* Is post-menopausal (demonstrate total cessation of menses for greater than one year)

Childbearing potential, has a negative urine and/or serum pregnancy test at screening, and within the 24 hour period prior to the first dose of investigational product and uses one of the following acceptable methods of contraception:

* Complete abstinence from intercourse for two weeks before exposure to the study drug, throughout the clinical study, and for 28 days after completion or premature discontinuation from the study to account for the elimination of the study drug (minimum of 5 half-lives).
* Any intrauterine device (IUD) with a documented failure rate of less than 1% per year.
* Double-barrier contraception (condom with spermicidal jelly, or diaphragm with spermicide).
* Male partner who is sterile (diagnosed by a qualified medical professional) prior to the female subject's study entry and is the sole sexual partner for that female.
* Oral contraceptive (either combined or progesterone only).
* Any other contraceptive method with a documented failure rate of \<1% per year.
* Subject has no physical limitation to ingest and retain oral medication.
* Subject is able to understand and comply with protocol requirements and instructions and is likely to complete the study as planned.
* Subject is able to provide signed and dated written informed consent.
* In France, a subject will be eligible for inclusion in this study only if either affiliated to or a beneficiary of a social security category.

Exclusion Criteria:

* Subjects with a known hypersensitivity, intolerance or allergy to any of the ingredients in eltrombopag tablets.
* Evidence of portal vein thrombosis on abdominal imaging (ultrasound with Doppler or appropriate MRI/CT imaging techniques) within 3 months of study start.
