Hi all,
Now FDA has approved the first of many drugs in pipelines for thrombocytopenia - Nplate
![Smile](images/smilies/smile.gif)
. The drug is approved for immune thrombocytopenic purpura - a bleeding disease due to destruction of the platelets. This drug is not OK for patients with MDS - 22 of 44 patients with MDS got increased symptoms

- but we can hope that one of the next drugs will be better for our disease.
Kind regards
