RBC-transfusion dependence is common in persons with myeloproliferative neoplasm (MPN)-associated myelofibrosis. The objective of this study was to determine the rates of RBC-transfusion independence after therapy with pomalidomide vs placebo in persons with MPN-associated myelofibrosis and RBC-transfusion dependence. Two hundred and fifty-two subjects (intent-to-treat (ITT) population) including 229 subjects confirmed by central review (modified ITT population) were randomly assigned (2:1) to pomalidomide or placebo. Trialists and subjects were blinded to treatment allocation. Primary end point was proportion of subjects achieving RBC-transfusion independence within 6 months. One hundred and fifty-two subjects received pomalidomide and 77 placebo. Response rates were 16% (95% confidence interval (CI), 11, 23%) vs 16% (8, 26%; P=0.87). Response in the pomalidomide cohort was associated with ⩽4 U RBC/28 days (odds ratio (OR)=3.1; 0.9, 11.1), age ⩽65 (OR=2.3; 0.9, 5.5) and type of MPN-associated myelofibrosis (OR=2.6; 0.7, 9.5). Responses in the placebo cohort were associated with ⩽4 U RBC/28 days (OR=8.6; 0.9, 82.3), white blood cell at randomization >25 × 10/l (OR=4.9; 0.8, 28.9) and interval from diagnosis to randomization >2 years (OR=4.9; 1.1, 21.9). Pomalidomide was associated with increased rates of oedema and neutropenia but these adverse effects were manageable. Pomalidomide and placebo had similar RBC-transfusion-independence response rates in persons with MPN-associated RBC-transfusion dependence.
红细胞输注依赖在骨髓增殖性肿瘤(MPN)相关骨髓纤维化患者中很常见。本研究的目的是确定泊马度胺与安慰剂治疗MPN相关骨髓纤维化且有红细胞输注依赖的患者后红细胞输注独立率。252名受试者(意向性治疗(ITT)人群),包括经中心审查确认的229名受试者(改良ITT人群),被随机分配(2:1)接受泊马度胺或安慰剂治疗。试验者和受试者对治疗分配不知情。主要终点是在6个月内实现红细胞输注独立的受试者比例。152名受试者接受泊马度胺治疗,77名接受安慰剂治疗。缓解率分别为16%(95%置信区间(CI),11,23%)和16%(8,26%;P = 0.87)。泊马度胺组的缓解与每28天输注红细胞≤4单位(比值比(OR)=3.1;0.9,11.1)、年龄≤65岁(OR = 2.3;0.9,5.5)以及MPN相关骨髓纤维化类型(OR = 2.6;0.7,9.5)有关。安慰剂组的缓解与每28天输注红细胞≤4单位(OR = 8.6;0.9,82.3)、随机分组时白细胞>25×10⁹/L(OR = 4.9;0.8,28.9)以及从诊断到随机分组的间隔>2年(OR = 4.9;1.1,21.9)有关。泊马度胺与水肿和中性粒细胞减少发生率增加有关,但这些不良反应是可控的。在MPN相关红细胞输注依赖的患者中,泊马度胺和安慰剂的红细胞输注独立缓解率相似。
