NCT ID NCT04328727
First seen Jan 22, 2026 · Last updated May 06, 2026 · Updated 22 times
Summary
This study tested whether adding eltrombopag to standard immunosuppressive therapy (r-ATG and cyclosporine) could improve blood cell counts in 36 East-Asian patients with severe aplastic anemia, a condition where the bone marrow fails to produce enough blood cells. The main goal was to see how many patients achieved normal blood counts by 26 weeks. The approach aims to control the disease, not cure it, as patients may need ongoing medication.
