Have you heard about AMG531?

Kirby, htere is a study currently recruiting participants which uses Dacogen (like Vidaza) and a platelet boosting drug called AMG 531 at the Seattle Cancer Care Alliance. Dr Pam Becker or Dr Baart Scott are the contacts. AMG 531 has just been approved by the FDA for treatment of thrombocytopenic purpora and it is unlike platelet transfusions in that the body doesn't develop resistance to it in the same way as transfusions. Look into it.
