Drugs for thrombocytopenia

Hi tytd,
Thank you for the kind words !

There are many drugs in clinical trials for low platelets. Three of them can be promising.

LGD-4665 that now should be in trials for MDS though I can’t find any trail for MDS patients at the clin trials gov site:

AKR 501 but there has not been any news about results from trials for patients with thrombocytopenic purpura:

R 788 but we have not seen any results recently – they try the drug for patients with arthritis but have not had much success:
