Promacta and AA
Hello Janire, If you do not mind wading through a technical medical journal you may want to read the published report of an NIH trial of Promacta in AA patients in the July 5, 2012 issue of the New England Journal of Medicine. I think about 40+% of refractory AA patients responded to it in that article and the ones that did were continued on it. The NIH probably have more up to date data now and perhaps an on-going trial that you could possibly access if you have not already started on it. If you search through the forums by putting in New England Journal of Medicine + Promacta into the marrowforums search box you can find a link to the article that Sally C. kindly provided in July 2012. Good Luck and I hope it works for you.
Sally C. , am so glad to hear that things are going well for your husband. Just goes to show you how clinical trials sometimes can be a lifesaver.
