Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this study is to further evaluate the effects that eltrombopag (and romiplostim) have on platelets in subjects with chronic ITP. Eltrombopag is approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of low platelets in patients with chronic ITP. It is being further studied by GlaxoSmithKline (now Novartis) in other conditions associated with low platelets. This research study is being done because eltrombopag has been shown to increase platelet counts in a different way than other therapies for ITP. The investigators want to further study how eltrombopag and romiplostim affect subjects and their platelets to determine how the study drug should best be used in ITP treatment.


Clinical Trial Description

The B-cell lymphoma extra large (Bcl-xL/Bak) balance has been identified as an intrinsic mechanism that is critical in determining platelet lifespan (Mason, Cell 2007). There is evidence that Bcl-xL protein expression in megakaryocytes is regulated by Thrombopoietin (TPO) mediated activation of Akt pathways mediated by Jak2 and Stat 5 (possibly by Stat 3 as well). (e.g., Kozuma et. al., Journal of Thrombosis and Haemostasis). Little is known about the Bcl-xL / Bak axis in patients with ITP, or the effect of TPO-R stimulation on platelet survival in patients with ITP. The TPO effect may be a result of stimulation of thrombopoietin-receptor (TPO-R) signalling in megakaryocytes altering the packaging of Bcl-xl into platelets, or be a direct effect of platelet TPO-R stimulation as described above. ;
