Nplate
Hi Mcgill,
Yes, the first report was quite alarming with several patients that got increased blast cells after 28 days. Then FDA warned about Nplate for MDS patients. Now I have seen reports where less patients develope AML after long term use of Nplate than MDS patients without Nplate.
Hi Maragarete,
Yes, a low dose of Nplate would probably be OK. Even for patients with Immune Thrombocytopenic Purpura (a bleeding disease) Amgen advices low doses - they should not try to get normal platelet counts.
Kind regards
Birgitta-A
