Alpha-interferon therapy for essential thrombocythaemia
Lancet.
.
Abstract
18 patients with symptomatic essential thrombocythaemia were treated with recombinant alpha interferon (2a or 2b). Subcutaneous dosage regimens, which were well-tolerated, selectively lowered the platelet count and relieved symptoms in all patients, whether previously treated or untreated. Recombinant alpha-interferon may offer a non-leukaemogenic alternative therapy for these patients.
