The American Society of Hematology 2011 evidence-based practice guideline for immune thrombocytopenia.

TL;DR: This review identified the need for additional studies in many key areas of the therapy of ITP such as comparative studies of "front-line" therapy for ITP, the management of serious bleeding in patients withITP, and studies that will provide guidance about which therapy should be used as salvage therapy for patients after failure of a first-line intervention.

Eltrombopag for management of chronic immune thrombocytopenia (RAISE): a 6-month, randomised, phase 3 study

TL;DR: Eltrombopag is effective for management of chronic immune thrombocytopenia, and could be particularly beneficial for patients who have not responded to splenectomy or previous treatment, and should be balanced with the potential risks associated with eltrom bopag treatment.
Journal ArticleDOI

Romiplostim or standard of care in patients with immune thrombocytopenia.

TL;DR: Patients treated with romiplostim had a higher rate of a platelet response, lower incidence of treatment failure and splenectomy, less bleeding and fewer blood transfusions, and a higher quality of life than patients treated with the standard of care.
Journal ArticleDOI

New thrombopoietic growth factors

TL;DR: Two second-generation thrombopoietic growth factors stimulate growth of TPO-dependent cell lines via JAK2/STAT signaling pathways and increase platelet counts in animals and in healthy humans, TPO peptide and nonpeptide mimetics produced a dose-dependent rise in platelet count.

High-dose intravenous gammaglobulin for idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura in childhood

TL;DR: Seven children with chronic or intermittent ITP and six with acute idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura were treated with large intravenous doses of polyvalent, intact immunoglobulin (Ig), and the platelet count rose sharply within 5 days, but the initial response and the subsequent course varied from patient to patient.
Journal ArticleDOI

Idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura: a practice guideline developed by explicit methods for the American Society of Hematology.

TL;DR: This report begins with a brief summary of the panel’s recommendations, followed by a more detailed analysis of its methodology, the findings of the comprehensive literature review, and a full presentation of the recommendations.
Journal ArticleDOI

Immune thrombocytopenic purpura.

TL;DR: The authors of this up-to-date review discuss the current understanding of pathophysiology and, in particular, the way in which autoantibodies against platelets are generated.

Guidelines for the investigation and management of idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura in adults, children and in pregnancy

TL;DR: This guideline aims to assess available diagnostic tests and therapies, and attempts to provide a rational approach to the diagnosis and treatment in adults, children and in pregnancy.
