Drug trial aims to free patients from constant platelet transfusions

NCT ID NCT04797000

Summary

This study is testing whether the drug eltrombopag can help Japanese adults with a specific type of lower-risk myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) become independent from needing regular platelet transfusions. It compares the drug against a placebo in a small group of 36 participants. The main goal is to see if more people taking the drug can go at least 8 weeks without a transfusion by week 24 of the study.
