Eltrombopag (EPAG) can improve the efficacy of immunosuppressive therapy (IST) consisting of antithymocyte immunoglobulin (ATG) and cyclosporin in severe aplastic anemia (SAA) patients. This study explored whether patients with SAA could benefit from continuous usage of EPAG beyond 6 months. Seventy-four treatment-naive Chinese patients with SAA were administrated with rabbit ATG-based IST plus EPAG for 6 months. Patients not achieving complete remission (CR) at 6 months were treated with EPAG for another 6 months. At 1, 3, 6 and 12 months after IST, the cumulative response rates were 31
Addition of eltrombopag (E-PAG) to intensive immunosuppressive therapy (IST) contributes to restoring hematopoiesis in patients with severe aplastic anemia (SAA). Used at relatively low doses in the East Asian population, the efficacies of E-PAG and the predictors for efficacy are not clear. We conducted a retrospective, multicenter study to analyze the efficacy and the possible predicting factors at 6 months in 58 adult SAA patients with rabbit ATG-based IST and E-PAG. The response rate and complete response rate at 6 months were 76% and 21%, respectively. The baseline reticulocyte percentage [area under a curve (AUC)=0.798, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.640-0.956, P=0.006], absolute reticulocyte count (ARC) (AUC =0.808, 95%CI 0.647-0.970, P=0.004), red cell distribution width – coefficient of variation (RDW-CV) (AUC=0.722, 95%CI 0.494-0.950, P=0.040), and absolute lymphocyte count (ALC) (AUC=0.706, 95%CI 0.522-0.890, P=0.057) were highly predictive of response at 6 months. The tipping values of reticulocyte percentage, ARC, RDW-CV, and ALC were 0.45%, 7.36×109/L, 11.75%, and 1.06×109/L, respectively. The sensitivity and specificity of reticulocyte percentages were 81.6% and 66.7%; ARC were 86.8% and 66.7%, RDW-CV were 94.7% and 55.6%; ALC were 55.3% and 88.9%. At a median follow-up of 15.5 months, the 2-year cumulative overall survival was 92%. The baseline reticulocyte percentage, ARC, RDW-CV, and ALC were potential factors in predicting a favorable effect of rabbit-ATG based IST plus E-PAG in SAA patients of East Asia (ChiCTR2100045895).Clinical Trial Registrationhttp://www.chictr.org.cn/edit.aspx?pid=125480&htm=4, identifier ChiCTR2100045895.
Background Paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH) is a rare, complement-mediated hemolytic anemia caused by a somatic phosphatidylinositol glycan class A (PIGA) gene mutation on the X chromosome of hematopoietic stem cells. The mutation of PIGA gene destroys the biosynthesis of glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI), resulting in the lack of GPI anchor proteins, including CD55 and CD59 molecules, in hematopoietic stem cells and their progeny cells (erythrocytes, granulocytes, monocytes, lymphocytes). Erythrocyte membrane without CD55 and CD59 are prone to complement attack and lysis[1]. PNH presents as hemolytic anemia, bone marrow failure, and thrombosis, and so on. Targeting the terminal complement inhibitor, such as eculizumab (C5 inhibitors), could not only control hemolytic anemia, reduce thrombosis and transfusion, improve the staging status of chronic kidney disease, and prevents the deterioration of renal function in PNH patients. However, eculizumab has not yet been available in mainland of China, glucocorticoids is still used as the first-line therapy in China. Methods From September 2020 to April 2022, 26 PNH patients with high disease activity (HAD) were enrolled in the study. Oral prednisone was initiated at a dose of 1mg/kg/day and gradually tapered four weeks later. Clinical characteristics of patients was described in Table 1. Results The hemoglobin paired T-test results before treatment and at 1 month, 3 months, and 6 months after treatment were as follows: (69.12±14.83) vs (77.50±18.11), p<0.05;(69.12±14.83) vs (74.15±18.23), p=0.15;(69.12±14.83) vs (75.54±19.91), p=0.09; paired chi-square test (McNemar Test) for anemia stratification (>90g/L, 60-90g/L, <60g/L) showed no marked changes: p=0.082, p=0.344, p=0.247; By Friedman Test, it showed reticulocyte percentage was also similar: (6.76±3.92) vs (6.23±4.08) vs (6.62±3.92) vs (7.11±4.73), p=0.457. Before treatment, 25 patients (25/26, 96.15%) were transfusion dependent. After treatment at 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, 19 patients (19/26, 73.08%), 22 patients (22/26, 84.62%), 21 patients (21/26, 80.77%) were transfusion dependent, respectively (p=0.031; p=0.375; p=0.219). Two patients progressed to transfusion dependent at 3 months, 6months, respectively. No patients achieved remission of hemolysis (LDH < 1.5 ⅹULN) at 1, 3, and 6 months; the level of lactate dehydrogenase and indirect bilirubin (IBIL) showed no changes by analysis with Friedman test (p=0.436, p=0.881). By Friedman test, the serum level of D-dimer also showed no changes at different times ( p=0.263). Level of D-dimer elevated (>0.55mg/L) in seven patients before treatment, and returned back within normal range in one patient at 1 month, two patients at 3 months, three patients at 6 months. But among the people with normal D level initially, one patient and three patients each had elevated D-dimer level at 3 months and 6 months, respectively. Two patients achieved renal function improvement at 3 months, 6months, respectively. But three patients had renal function deterioration after treatment. Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) was (114.15±42.98) ml/min/1.73m2 before treatment, and become (117.79±37.69) ml/min/1.73m2, (120.85±44.05) ml/min/1.73m2, (110.30±36.58) ml/min/1.73m2 at 1, 3, and 6 months (p=0.42, p=0.43, p=0.41). Discussion Previous studies have mainly compared the improvement of anemia after breakthrough of PNH by glucocorticoids therapy. The improvement of anemia could not be ruled out as a result of transfusion support or the reduction of temporary hemolysis after breakthrough of PNH. We found the level of LDH increased along with improvement of hemoglobin during prednisone treatment, and percentage of reticulocytes was not changed at same time. It suggested that the improvement of anemia in some patients may not be caused by controlling intravascular hemolysis or the compensatory hyperplasia of the bone marrow, but by transfusion. Conclusions It preliminarily showed prednisone maintenance therapy for PNH could not control hemolysis and thrombosis, and could not improve anemia and renal function. The efficacy of glucocorticoid maintenance therapy in PNH is uncertain. Reference: [1] Brodsky R A. How I Treat Paroxysmal Nocturnal Hemoglobinuria[J]. Blood, 2021, 137(10): 1304-1309.

Background Eltrombopag (EPAG) could improve the efficacy of immunosuppressive therapy (IST) consisted by antithymocyte immunoglobulin (ATG) and cyclosporin (CsA) in untreated severe aplastic anemia (SAA) patients. This study explored whether patients with SAA could benefit from continuous use of EPAG beyond 6 months. Methods From February 2018 to October 2021, 92 Chinese patients who were 2 years of age or older with a new diagnosis of acquired SAA and were not eligible for front-line hematopoietic stem-cell transplantation were collected in the China Eastern Cooperation Group for Anemia (CECGA). Patients were treated with rabbit ATG (r-ATG) based IST consisting of CsA. Patients over 12 years old and aging 6-11 years old took EPAG orally at dose of 75mg and 37.5mg once daily, respectively; EPAG was administered with 1.25 mg per kilogram per day for patients with age distribution between 2 and 5 years. Generally, all patients were treated with EPAG at least 6 months. The lack of response at 6 months, relapse, HSCT, development of a clonal hematologic disease including myelodysplastic syndrome, and acute myelogenous leukemia, or disease- or treatment-related death are regarded as events in event free survival (EFS). Results The median age was 38 (2-78) years, with 18 patients (20%) under 18 years old and 21 patients (43%) over 60 years old. In the whole cohort, 61 patients (66%) were diagnosed as SAA and 31 patients (34%) with very severe aplastic anemia (vSAA). At 3, 6 and 12 months, the actuarial overall response rates (ORR) were 55% (51 of 92), 73% (67 of 92) and 81% (60 of 74) and complete response (CR) rates were 11% (10 of 92), 20% (18 of 92) and 34% (25 of 74), respectively. 18 patients (20%) who achieved CR within 6 months were under steady state. In 49 patients with PR at 6 months, 14 (35%) of 40 patients who were continuously exposed to EPAG improved to CR within 6.5 (3 ~ 10) months of median time after 6 months. Among 25 patients who failed at 6 months, 11 patients continued to use EPAG, and 5 patients (45%) improved responses with extended median time of 3 (1 ~ 6) months after 6 months (Figure 1). The cumulative effect curve showed that 93% and 58% of all 12 months remission and CR occurred within 6 months. In patients with PR and NR at 6 months, the better 2-year event free survival (EFS) was found in whom continued to use EPAG (75% vs. 26%, P=0.001) (Figure 2). Discussion EPAG plus IST were used to treat previously untreated SAA patients in prospective studies. The ORR and CR rate at 6 months were 68% ~ 94% and 26% ~ 58%, respectively [1, 2]. We found that 93% of all 12 months remission occurred within 6 months for patients treated with IST and EPAG. It is suggested that EPAG should be used in sufficient dosage at least 6 months. It has been reported that patients with CR and PR were present with better OS of 100% and 92%, while OS of non-responders was 47% (P=0.0016), effect was demonstrated as a predictor for 4-year OS [3]. For patients with PR and NR at 6 months in our study, it was found that not only the response rates, but also the 2-year EFS were improved by continuous usage of EPAG, compared to them discontinued EPAG. In conclusion, additional EPAG to IST mainly take effect within 6 months. Continuous administration of EPAG could improve the hematologic response and EFS in patients without achieving CR at 6 months. REFERENCE [1].

In sight of different pharmacokinetics between races, the recommended dose is 75mg/d for Asian using eltrombopag [1]. However, the efficacy and safety of antithymocyte immunoglobulin (ATG) and cyclosporin A (CsA) with eltrombopag are still largely unknown for adult Asian patients with severe aplastic anemia (SAA).
Abstract Background Large granular lymphocyte leukemia associated pure red cell aplasia (LGLL-PRCA) accounts for a significant portion of secondary PRCA. Cyclosporine (CsA) and cyclophosphamide (CTX) are the main immunosuppressive agents used in treating LGLL-PRCA [1]. Considering the cytotoxicity of CTX, CsA may be proposed as first-line therapy [2]. However, because of the rarity of LGLL-PRCA, long-term responses and relapse rates after CsA and CTX therapy are largely unknown. Methods and results From September 2009 to December 2020, we selected 65 uniformly diagnosed LGLL-PRCA and analyzed clinical features and treatment outcomes of CsA and CTX. In the present study, 43.1% harbored neutropenia (<1.5×10 9/L) and only 1 patient had spondyloarthritis (Table 1). Besides, we found that 9.2% developed recurrent oral ulcer and 18.5% had reduced serum complemet C3 level, both of which were related to abnormal immune status. In our cohort, 44 patients received CsA therapy and 21 patients received CTX therapy. 53.8% (35/65) obtained erythroid lineage response and 26.2% (17/65) achieved complete response. CTX produced higher response rate (81.0% vs 40.9%, P=0.002) and complete response rate (47.6% vs 15.9%, P=0.007) than CsA. We further analyzed related factors influencing efficacy by Binary-Logistic multivariate regression model and found that higher response rate was mainly related to CTX therapy (P=0.02) (Table 2). We detected STAT3 and STAT5b gene in 50 cases. None of the patients had STAT5b mutation and 14 patients had STAT3 mutation. 12 of 14 mutation cases were non-elderly patients (<60 years ). For younger patients, STAT3 mutation was more frequent (85.7% vs 22.2%, P<0.01). In STAT3 mutation group, patients appeared to respond better to CTX than CsA (83.3% vs 37.5%, P=0.138). Up to the last follow-up, 11 patients treated with CsA recurred after CsA reduction or discontinuation, with a median relapse time of 10 (3~80) months after remission. Only 1 patient relpsed after the discontinuation of CTX due to neutropenia and returned to remission status after CTX retreatment. In our research, CsA had higher recurrence rate than CTX without statistical significance (25.0% vs 4.8%, P=0.104). Discussion CsA may be proposed as first-line therapy for LGLL-PRCA [2,3]. CTX also appears to be a good treatment choice, but CTX should not be used for more than 12 months since associated toxicities and the risk for developing myelodysplastic syndromes and acute myeloid leukemia. Therefore, it is necessary to compare the efficacy of CsA or CTX in the treatment of LGLL-PRCA. Deep sequencing analyses of residuals LGLL clones reveals that CTX could eradicate LGLL clones, providing durable response, low relapse rate, whereas CsA is associated with the persistence of leukemic clones, and high frequency of relapse [4]. Our results show that the response rate of CTX is higher than CsA (P=0.02), and the probability of recurrence is relatively low (25.0% vs 4.8%, P=0.104). This is consistent with the results of previous study by Rajala [4]. It was important to note that patients with STAT3 mutations are more likely to respond to MTX [5]. Our study showed that the response rate for CTX was 83.3% in patients with STAT3 mutations, which was seemingly higher than CsA (37.5%), although remained statistically insignificant (P=0.138) that might be due to small number of cases. Conclusions The results of the current study may reflect the real world experience of LGLL-PRCA in whom treated by CTX or CsA, may be limited by its retrospective nature, small cohorts. In preliminary conclusion, LGLL-PRCA could acquired better response to CTX than CsA. Besides, CTX may reduce relapse. References 1. Means RT Jr. Pure red cell aplasia.

Prospective trials showed the clinical efficacy of eltrombopag in refractory/relapsed aplastic anemia (AA), with up to 40% hematologic improvement [1]. Moreover, eltrombopag was combined with frontline immunosupressive therapy (IST) consisited of antithymocyte immunoglobulin (ATG) and cyclosporin (CsA), with an overall response rate exceeding 80% [2]. The metabolism of eltrodopag is different in disparate population. Currently, the recommended dose is 75 mg/d for East Asian populations [2], Pretreatment clinical and laboratory characteristics predicting eltrombopag response are still unclear in severe AA (SAA) patients of real-world in East Asian.
