Hi Wendy,
Yes, I understand that your situation will make you try the first drug - AMG 531/Romiplostim/Nplate. Amgen filed to FDA Oct 2007. There are at least 6 more drugs coming up the pipelines for low platelets
.
Number 2 in the race is Eltrombopag/Promacta/Revolade and Glaxo/Smith/Kline has promised to file to FDA Dec 2007. Eltrombopag seems to inhibit leukemia cells in cell culture tests
.
Kind regards
Birgitta
