ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Severe aplastic anemia (SAA) is caused by immune-mediated destruction. Standard immunosuppressive therapy (IST) is effective but needs to be improved.METHODS:
The data of patients with SAA and received IST were analyzed retrospectively to conducted this historical control study.RESULTS:
A total of 115 SAA patients (60 males; median age of 5.77 years and median follow-up time of 45 months) were enrolled in this study. The complete response rates (CRR) of the eltrombopag group at 3 and 6 months were higher than the control group (30.3% vs.8.2% at 3 months; 50.0% vs. 10.2% at 6 months). The overall response rates (ORR) showed no differences. There were significant differences in the times from G-CSF, Red blood cell transfusion, and Platelet transfusion between the two groups. No difference in overall survival (OS), event-free survival (EFS), and relapse rate between two groups. There is no variable were associated with prognosis in both groups.CONCLUSION:
Addition of eltrombopag to IST confers faster hematological response and higher early hematological response in pediatric SAA patients. IMPACT Addition of eltrombopag to standard immunosuppressive therapy confers faster hematological response and higher early hematological response in pediatric severe aplastic anemia patients. Eltrombopag showed reliable safety but had no impact on long-term response and prognosis. This article is a historical controlled study consisting of 115 pediatric severe aplastic anemia patients and makes up for the lack of clinical data deficient on pediatric severe aplastic anemia with TPO-RA combined with IST.
