Clinical Trial Summary

Platelet recovery is significantly hampered following umbilical cord blood transplantation (UCB). Thus, after UCB transplantations, patients are platelet transfusion-dependent for prolong periods of time.

Eltrombopag is a thrombopoietin-receptor agonist that initiates thrombopoietin-receptor signaling and thereby induces proliferation and maturation of megakaryocytes.

We will evaluate the safety and efficacy of eltrombopag for enhancing platelet engraftment in pediatric patients undergoing cord blood transplantation.
