The study measured if Zavesca had an effect on the size of the liver and spleen, and if it improved blood counts, such as the levels of haemoglobin (a protein found in red blood cells that carries oxygen around the body) and platelet counts (components that help the blood to clot).
Uuringus jälgiti, kas Zavesca avaldab toimet maksa ja põrna suurusele ning kas ravim parandab verenäitajaid, nagu hemoglobiini (vere punaliblede valk, mis kannab hapnikku organismis laiali) ja trombotsüütide (hüübimist soodustavad vereosakesed) sisaldus.
