Unhappy Bad news about AMG 531/Romiplostim/Nplate

Hi all,
Unfortunately the first of the new drugs for low platelets - AMG 531/Romiplostim/Nplate - can give dangerous adverse reactions. "FDA also expressed concerns about abnormal bone marrow growth and malignant tumors seen in some patients".

The next drug in the race Eltrombopag/Promacta/Revolade is two months behind.
Kind regards

Last platelet count 48
