Official title
The Effect of Eltrombopag on Platelet Survival: the Role of the B-cell L Extra Large (BcL-xL) Pathway
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
The purpose of this study is to further evaluate the effects that eltrombopag (and romiplostim) have on platelets in subjects with chronic ITP. Eltrombopag is approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of low platelets in patients with chronic ITP. It is being further studied by GlaxoSmithKline (now Novartis) in other conditions associated with low platelets. This research study is being done because eltrombopag has been shown to increase platelet counts in a different way than other therapies for ITP. The investigators want to further study how eltrombopag and romiplostim affect subjects and their platelets to determine how the study drug should best be used in ITP treatment.
