Eltrombopag has been used in the treatment of immune thrombocytopenia (ITP), and significantly increased platelet count and decreased fatal hemorrage. As it's known that all patients with acute leukemia will experience bone marrow suppression and thrombocytopenia after chemotherapy. Some patients even died of fatal bleeding during this period for lacking of platelet transfusion or platelet transfusion refractoriness. So a lot needs to be done to shortern thrombocytopenia time or reduce fatal hemorrage incidence after chemotherapy in acute leukemia patients. In this prospective randomized controlled study, the effect and safety of eltrombopag in the treatment of thrombocytopenia after consolidation therapy in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is evaluated.

Drug Eltrombopag

Eltrombopag 25mg bid, starts from the day when platelet count decreases lower than 30×10'9/L, and the treatment lasts for at least 5 days, and stops until platelet count goes up to more than 30×10'9/L, after consolidation therapy in AML patents.

Eltrombopag treatment Experimental

Eltrombopag 25mg bid, starts from the day when platelet count decreases lower than 30×10'9/L, and the treatment lasts for at least 5 days, and stops until platelet count goes up to more than 30×10'9/L, after consolidation therapy in AML patents. Platelet transfusion application is routinely done when platelet count is lower than 20×10'9/L or active hemorrage happens to patients.

Eltrombopag free Active Comparator

Eltrombopag treatment is not performed in this group. Platelet transfusion application is routinely done when platelet count is lower than 20×10'9/L or active hemorrage happens to patients.

Criteria 

Inclusion Criteria:

All patients with the age range from 14 to 60 years old with AML exclusive of APL in CR status; All those accepting IA or DA (IDA 10mg or DNR 45mg/m2, d1-3, Ara-C 2g/m2 q12h, d1-3) or MDAC (Ara-C 2g/m2 q12h, d1-3) as consolidation regimens.

Exclusion Criteria:

Those without obtaining CR; Those experience more 6 cycles of chemotherapy; Any abnormality in a vital sign (e.g., organ function failure, serious infection ); Patients with any conditions not suitable for the trial (investigators' decision).
