-Patient with NHL of any histotype, both at diagnosis or at relapse, who experienced grade 4 CIT after the first course of chemotherapy containing high doses of meth-otrexate, cytarabine, cisplatin, cyclo-phosphamide and/or ifosfamide, and/or conven-tional doses of anthracyclines or purine analogs (permitted regimens: CHOP, CHOP-like, FC, FND, DHAP, ICE, IEV, MIV, MTX/araC), with or without rituximab. The same type of chemotherapy where the grade 4 CIT occurred will be continued at the same planned doses for a maximum of 8 courses. -Age =18 years. -ECOG performance status score ? 3. -Signed informed consent. -Adequate bone marrow function (ANC >1.000; Hb >9,5 g/dL; PLT > 75.000).

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Main Objective: To evaluate safety of Romiplostim in patients with newly diagnosed or relapsed NHL who experienced grade-4 chemotherapy-induced thrombocytopenia (CIT) after the first chemotherapy course.;Secondary Objective: To evaluate romiplostim activity by assessing the reduction of grade 4 CIT, CIT duration, number of platelets transfusions, with the possibil-ity to maintain the relative dose intensity of the chemotherapy regimen.;Primary end point(s): Romiplostim safety, defined by the incidence of grade > or equal 4 adverse events (NCI CTCAE v. 4.02 Dec 2009) during experimental treatment.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: after second chemotherapy cycle till the end of chemotherapy treatment
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Secondary end point(s): -Romiplostim activity defined by the incidence of grade 4 CIT (? 25 x 109/L) per chemo-therapy course during experimental treatment. -Recovery time from the first day of platelets count =25.000 plt/µL to the achievement of a platelet count of >25.000 plt/µL, summarized by each course. -Number of platelet transfusions per chemotherapy course, per patient, from the enrol-ment to end of chemotherapy. -Number of bleeding events per chemotherapy course, per patient, from the enrolment to end of chemotherapy.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: after second chemotherapy cycle till the end of chemotherapy treatment
