THROMBOCYTOPENIA

This early study tested a new drug called PN20 in 24 adults with lymphoma or solid tumors who had low platelets from chemotherapy. The goal was to see if a single shot before chemo is safe and can help prevent dangerously low platelet counts. Results will guide future research on…

This study tested whether the drug romiplostim can prevent severe low platelet counts caused by chemotherapy in lymphoma patients. Eleven adults with lymphoma receiving chemo known to lower platelets took part. The goal was to see if romiplostim could reduce the need for chemo de…

This study involved 927 patients with blood disorders who needed a central line (a special IV). Researchers wanted to see if using a lower platelet count threshold (10,000 instead of 50,000) before the procedure would still be safe. They focused on moderate to severe bleeding eve…

This study collected one blood sample from 40 adults with very low platelets caused by blood cancer or its treatment. The goal was to gather samples for future research, not to test a new treatment. Participants had platelet counts of 30,000 or lower and were not on blood thinner…

This study checked if a generic version of eltrombopag (a drug that helps increase blood platelets) works the same as the brand-name drug in healthy adults after eating. Thirty-six healthy Chinese volunteers took both versions at different times to compare how their bodies absorb…

This study looked at 68 people who need frequent platelet transfusions because of low platelet counts. Researchers tested whether a new method (C1q binding) could better predict if a transfusion would help compared to the standard test. They used stored blood samples to compare t…
