Background: Thrombocytopenia is a significant problem in the treatment of cancer.Objective: To assess the clinical safety of therapy with recombinant human thrombopoietin (rhTPO) and its ability to ameliorate chemotherapy-induced severe thrombocytopenia. Patients: 29 patients with gynecologic cancer. Intervention: Recombinant human thrombopoietin was given before chemotherapy and after a second cycle of carboplatin therapy. Measurements: Peripheral blood counts and platelet transfusions.Design: Phase I/II clinical cohort studySetting: The University of Texas M.D. Anderson Cancer Center, Houston, Texas.Results: Administration of rhTPO after chemotherapy significantly reduced the degree and duration of thrombocytopenia and enhanced platelet recovery. In patients who received the optimal biological dose of rhTPO (1.2 mu g/kg of body weight) in cycle 2 (carboplatin plus rhTPO), the mean platelet count nadir was higher (44 x 10(9) cells/L and 20 x 10(9) cells/L; P = 0.002) and the duration of thrombocytopenia was shorter (days with a platelet count
