AMG 531/Romiplostim/Nplate delayed

Hi Wendy,
Since I read an abstract about Nplate and MDS where 2 of 40 patients got AML and 6 other patients got increased blast cells I stopped waiting for Nplate because I dare not take it. Now I am waiting for the next drug for thrombocytopenia called Eltrombopag/Promacta/Revolade. That drug is perhaps better for patients with bonemarrow diseases - Nplate is maybe OK for patients with idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (a autoimmune disease).
Kind regards
Birgitta-A
