Eltrombopag (Revolade in NZ) is only available for idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura with Pharmac funding. My father is the exception to this as I wrote directly to GSK and they have funded it for treating his VSAA. He has not had ATG, but cyclosporine only treatment which failed to have any response. Currently in week 8 on eltrombopag. No response to date.
