New study tests eltrombopag safety in kids with rare bone marrow failure

NCT ID NCT06287268

First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study is tracking 10 children aged 6 to 17 with aplastic anemia, a condition where the bone marrow stops making enough blood cells. The children are receiving eltrombopag (Revolade) for the first time, combined with anti-thymocyte globulin. Researchers are monitoring for serious side effects and how well the drug works, aiming to confirm its safety and effectiveness in this specific group.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

eltrombopag (Revolade)

What this could lead to

If successful, this could confirm that eltrombopag is safe and effective for treating aplastic anemia in children who haven't had prior immune-suppressing therapy.

What could go wrong

This is a small, observational study with only 10 participants, so results may not apply broadly. It is not designed to prove a cure, and risks like serious side effects are being monitored.
