Introduction
Overview
Overview
Researchers still want to know why steroids often work in DBA, find more mutations, and address some questions about Diamond-Blackfan anemia.
Diamond-Blackfan future or investigational therpaies
Diamond-Blackfan future or investigational therpaies
- Investigations of several other agents showed these drugs appear to be largely ineffective and there is currently no evidence that any of these has a major role in the management of DBA [1]
- Intravenous immunoglobulin
- High dose erythropoietin
- Interleukin-3
- Androgens
- Metoclopramide
- Leucine and lenalidomide
