I have without success found an article where a patient of Dr. Cortes was going to try a drug to raise platlet levels.  Need to find the name of the drug.

Does anyone recall that?

Thanks in Advance,

JohnC

I believe there is a trial going on at MD anderson that looks at eltrombopag (promacta) for use in CML patients who experience thrombocytopenia (low platelets) as a result of TKI treatment.

http://clinicaltrial...how/NCT01428635

Hope this helps.
