Efficacy and Safety of TPO Receptor Agonists in the Treatment of Elderly ITP Patients

Summary

Elderly ITP patients have many underlying diseases, hormone contraindications and many adverse reactions during the use of hormones. TPO-RAs are oral small-molecule non-peptide drugs. Retrospective studies have shown that they have good efficacy and high safety in elderly patients. Therefore, this study is a prospective trial to evaluate TPO-RAs as the first-choice drug for the treatment of elderly ITP patients with contraindications to hormones, aiming to improve the efficacy-risk ratio of elderly patients
