  As an oral thrombopoietin receptor agonist(TPO-RA),eltrombopag is an important targeted drug for the clinical treatment of various thrombocytopenia.Its effectiveness and safety have been verified by multiple studies.The core application scenarios and efficacy are as follows:

  1、Chronic immune thrombocytopenia(ITP):significantly increases platelet count,improves bleeding risk

  Adult patients:Two key studies included 311 adult ITP patients who had previously failed treatment.During the 6-week course of treatment,59%of patients in the escitalopram group had platelet counts of 5×10⁴/μL or higher,significantly higher than the 16%in the placebo group;At 6 months,the probability of achieving the target platelet count in the atorvastatin group was approximately 8 times higher than that in the placebo group.Subgroup analysis showed that regardless of the timing of ITP diagnosis,there was no significant difference in the proportion of patients who reached 5×10⁴/μL,indicating that the efficacy was not affected by the course of the disease.

  Childhood patients:A study of 92 children aged 1-17 years old with ITP showed that without the use of salvage medication,40%of patients in the escitalopram group had platelet counts above 5×10⁴/μL,while only 3%in the placebo group,confirming its effective maintenance of safe platelet levels in children.

  2、Hepatitis C-related thrombocytopenia:Assisting antiviral therapy to improve seroconversion rate

  Two studies involving 1441 hepatitis C patients focused on"increasing platelets to initiate/maintain antiviral therapy".The results showed that the conversion rate of hepatitis C test results in patients in the treatment group was significantly higher than that in the placebo group:the first study was 23%vs 14%,and the second study was 19%vs 13%,indicating that it indirectly enhances antiviral efficacy by improving platelet count.

  3、Severe aplastic anemia(AA):promoting hematopoietic reconstruction,showing initial therapeutic potential

  A study of 43 patients with severe aplastic anemia showed that 40%responded to treatment at 12 weeks,and 65%of patients had platelet counts that increased by≥2×10⁴/μL from baseline or remained stable without transfusion;The 12 week response rate of the supportive study(46 patients)also reached 46%,consistent with the main study,indicating its preliminary application value in the management of relapse.

  Summary:Etripapa has demonstrated clear efficacy in ITP,hepatitis C-related thrombocytopenia,and severe aplastic anemia by activating the thrombopoietin receptor.It provides a new option for patients who are ineffective or intolerant to traditional treatments,but individualized medication and safety monitoring are necessary.
