Quality of life

Improving the symptoms that matter to patients

Immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) patients treated with REVOLADE were able to achieve significant improvements in vitality at Week 26, with an almost three-fold increase compared with those receiving placebo [difference 3.1 (4.2 vs. 1.1 respectively), p=0.007, n=135]1*

In the EXTEND study,† at least half (50%–64%) of REVOLADE patients were able to achieve clinically meaningful improvements in health-related quality of life (HRQoL) at least once during treatment2

REVOLADE patients have also been shown to achieve positive mean changes in all HRQoL measures during treatment, with significant improvements seen in measures:2

  • Physical health
  • Motivation and energy
  • Fatigue severity
  • Concerns regarding bleeding and bruising

Adjusted mean change in HRQoL score over time compared with baseline
