Hi Hopeful,
I have to respectfully disagree with your statement about Eltrombopag. My husband has been transfusion free for 3 years now after taking Eltrombopag started in the spring of 2011. He came off of Eltrombopag once his platelets went over 100,000 - which he still maintains to this day - and has taken no more Eltrombopag. He never took ATG. He had over 125 platelet/blood transfusions before taking Eltrombopag.
He did have Campath in Spring of 2009 but it did not help his counts and nearly killed him with an infection a month after.
NIH has had wonderful success with Eltrombopag although I can't say what treatments the other patients had.
If anyone is interested in reading a more detailed account of my husband's journey, please look up my past posts on Promacta (Eltrombopag).
God Bless all,
Sally
