General information

Class/mechanism: Thrombopoietin (TPO/cMpl) receptor agonist. Romiplostim is an Fc-peptide fusion protein (peptibody) that interacts with the TPO receptor to trigger downstream signal cascades that ultimately stimulate platelet production by promoting proliferation and differentiation of megakaryocytes from bone marrow progenitor cells.[1][2]
Route: SC
Extravasation: n/a
