Romiplostim, a thrombopoietin receptor agonist, has been shown to improve platelet counts and reduce chemotherapy dose modifications in patients with GI tumors receiving oxaliplatin-based regimens. However, whether this strategy translates into improvements in overall survival remains uncertain, or even unlikely, based on the supplemental figure 4. Not a @NEJM IMHO

PRESERVE-003 can be a hidden gem. Let’s see the billboard after #ELCC26
