Toxic interactions of Romiplostim and Rituximab in normal and thrombocytopenic Rats

Immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) is an autoimmune disorder characterized by immunologic destruction of normal platelets and insufficient production of platelets mediated by autoantibodies. And there are different treatment options for management of thrombocytopenia according to each case. Because of th...

description Immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) is an autoimmune disorder characterized by immunologic destruction of normal platelets and insufficient production of platelets mediated by autoantibodies. And there are different treatment options for management of thrombocytopenia according to each case. Because of the progression of the disease and its multiple pathophysiological pathways a combination of treatments used for management of ITP would be a point of interest. Co-administration of therapies may be useful in patients who are refractory to monotherapies and may result in a booster response because they target multiple mechanisms. Romiplostim is a potent drug used for the management of acute ITP and can be administered with other treatment options for ITP. The combination of Rituximab and Romiplostim may inhibit platelet destruction and at the same time increase platelet production. This combination can lead to a strong and a massive increase in platelet counts. In preclinical studies of Romiplostim safety margins could not be reliably estimated. Although some post marketing surveillance studies provided some information about the safety profile of this drug.
