ABOUT DOPTELET AND THE DOPTELET LIFT:
Doptelet is a TPO-RA that helps lift your platelet counts without having to change some of your personal preferences. That means with Doptelet, there are no doctor's appointments for treatment injections, no food-type restrictions, and more. Wondering about possible side effects on Doptelet?
Reach new heights with a platelet count lift that lasts
In the 6-month clinical trial, Doptelet was shown to:
Lift platelet counts in as few as 8 days.
Increase platelet counts to 50,000 per microliter or more for 66% of patients in trial. In the follow-up study of the clinical trial data, the analysis indicated over half of these patients reached or exceeded platelet counts of 100,000.
Maintain an increase in platelet counts for an average of 12 total weeks.
- 49 people were in a 6-month clinical trial for Doptelet (clinical trials for a rare disease usually have smaller sample sizes than non-rare disease trials)
- During that time, people taking Doptelet were compared with people not taking Doptelet
- In the 6-month trial, those taking Doptelet were able to keep platelet counts at 50,000 platelets per microliter or higher for an average of 12 total weeks vs 0 weeks for those not taking Doptelet
- On Day 8 of the trial, 21 out of 32 people taking Doptelet reached at least 50,000 platelets per microliter or more. Those who were not taking Doptelet did not reach 50,000 platelets per microliter
- A follow-up review of the data from the clinical trial showed that 26 out of 32 patients reached at least 100,000 platelets per microliter at some point during the 6-month trial
