Patients Treated (Revolade, Nplate, Doptelet, Tavlesse)

We're waiting for BEN HOLDSWORTH to read recent responses and update the status.

Dear Orkney NHS Board,

I am requesting the following information on behalf of Novartis.

The purpose of these questions is to understand the variability of treatment within your trust and apply that to the context of the rest of the country.

Q1. How many patients has your trust treated (for any disease) in the last 6 months (or the latest 6 months data you have available) with the treatments listed below:
• Revolade (eltrombopag)
• Nplate (romiplostim)
• Doptelet (avatrombopag)
• Tavlesse (fostamatinib)

Q2. In the last 6 months (or the latest 6 months data you have available), how many patients has your trust treated for immune thrombocytopenia (ITP)?

Q3. Of the patients treated for immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) in the last 6 months (or the latest 6 months data you have available), how many were treated with:
rituximab
mycophenolate mofetil
surgery (splenectomy)

Q4. Does your trust participate in any ongoing clinical trials for immune thrombocytopenia (ITP)? If so, can you please provide the name of each trial along with the number of patients taking part?

Thank you for taking the time to answer these questions and I look forward to your response.

Yours faithfully,

BEN HOLDSWORTH
