Father with AML

Hi Scott,
Your father is admirable!

I am afraid I donĀ“t know anything about how Neupogen may affect platelet transfusions. There are several drugs coming for low platelets. The first drug - Nplate/AMG 531 will hopefully be applied by FDA before summer 2008 for Idiopatic Thrombocytic Purpura. Perhaps your father could get it "off record" because Nplate is tested for MDS in phase I/II trials.

Kind regards
Birgitta
68 yo, dx MDS Interm-1 May 2006, transfusion dependent, Desferal 4 days with transfusion every 6th week and Neupogen 2 injection/week
