In both digital and print formats, OncLive covers every angle of oncology practice, from new technology to treatment advances to important regulatory decisions.In this episode of OncLive On Air, Gerald Soff, MD, sat down with OncLive to discuss findings from the phase 3 RECITE trial (NCT03362177), which evaluated romiplostim for the management of chemotherapy-induced thrombocytopenia (CIT) in patients with gastrointestinal cancers. Soff is a professor of clinical medicine in the Division of Hematology and chief of the Classical Hematology Section at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine in Florida.During the interview, Soff reviewed the longstanding unmet need for effective CIT management and explained how thrombopoietin receptor agonists, such as romiplostim, may help maintain platelet counts and preserve chemotherapy delivery; highlighted key findings from RECITE; and discussed the concept of relative dose intensity and why maintaining full-dose chemotherapy remains an important goal in GI oncology care. _____That’s all we have for today!
