Correction to my previous post!
Hi Sally,
I see that there are clinical trials out there right now that use eltrombopag alone for first line treatment of AA. I didn't realize this, as I had only heard the very positive preliminary results of eltrombopag used on refractory SAA patients. Hopefully, good news will come from these studies!
I am going to eat my humble pie now
