Romiplostim for refractory transfusion-dependent NSAA
Treatments studied
Part of Blood & lymphatic clinical trials.
This study tests a drug called romiplostim to see if it can help people with non-severe aplastic anemia (NSAA) who still need regular blood transfusions even after standard treatments. Romiplostim works by stimulating your body to make more blood cells, which may reduce your need for transfusions.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have a type of aplastic anemia called non-severe (NSAA) that did not improve after at least 6 months of first-line treatment.
- You need blood transfusions regularly (at least once every 8 weeks for 4 months or more).
- Your blood counts are low: either hemoglobin below 90, platelets below 30, or neutrophils below 1.0.
- You have not had a stem cell transplant or treatment with ATG before.
- You do not have other serious conditions like active infections, cancer, or certain blood disorders.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests combining a drug called romiplostim (a bone marrow stimulant) with standard immunosuppressive therapy as a first treatment for severe aplastic anemia. It aims to improve blood cell counts and reduce the need for transfusions.
This trial tests a new drug called ropustine to see if it can help people with aplastic anemia that hasn't responded to other treatments. The study is at one hospital and will monitor how well your blood counts and symptoms improve.
This trial tests whether adding a platelet-boosting medicine (rhTPO) to a standard immune-suppressing drug (cyclosporine) works better than cyclosporine alone for people with aplastic anemia who need regular blood transfusions. The goal is to improve blood counts and reduce the need for transfusions.
This trial tests a drug called romiplostim (Nplate) for patients whose aplastic anemia—a rare blood disorder where the bone marrow stops making enough blood cells—didn't improve after cancer treatment and hasn't responded to other medications. The drug may help your bone marrow produce more blood cells.
This trial tests adding romiplostim to standard care for severe aplastic anemia (a condition where the bone marrow doesn't make enough blood cells) in patients aged 2 to 21. It aims to see if this combination improves blood cell counts in those newly diagnosed or whose disease has come back or not responded to prior treatment.
This trial tests a drug called romiplostim for patients whose platelet counts stay very low (below 30) for a long time after chemotherapy, even after other treatments have failed. The goal is to see if romiplostim can help raise your platelet count to a safer level.
