To report our experience concerning sustained response (SR) after TPO-RA discontinuation in adult pITP patients and to identify possible predictive factors for outcome.
Thirty-nine pITP patients who received a TPO-RA were evaluated. Response (R) was defined as a platelet count ≥30 × 10 /L and at least a twofold increase in the baseline count and complete response (CR) as a platelet count ≥100 × 10 /L, in the absence of bleeding. Durable response (DR) was defined as a R/CR persisting ≥4 wk with a stable dose of TPO-RA, and SR as the first assessed platelet count ≥30 × 10 /L, available at more than 4 wk after discontinuation of TPO-RA, in the absence of other concomitant or rescue therapies.
Twenty-nine/39 (74%) were responders: 18 (46%) reached a CR and 11 (28%) a R. A DR was observed in 16/29 (55%) responders. Seven SR (18%) were reached: five of seven patients achieved a SR from a prior DR. CR was statistically associated with the achievement of a subsequent DR: 13/18 (72%) CR patients obtained a DR, while only three of 11 (27%) R ones did (P = 0.027).
CR was a significant prognostic factor for the achievement of a DR. Moreover, we observed a trend for DR patients to obtain a subsequent SR.
报告我们关于成人慢性免疫性血小板减少症(pITP)患者停用促血小板生成素受体激动剂(TPO-RA)后持续缓解(SR)的经验,并确定可能的预后预测因素。
对39例接受TPO-RA治疗的pITP患者进行评估。缓解(R)定义为血小板计数≥30×10⁹/L且至少为基线计数的两倍增加,完全缓解(CR)定义为血小板计数≥100×10⁹/L且无出血。持久缓解(DR)定义为在稳定剂量的TPO-RA治疗下R/CR持续≥4周,SR定义为在停用TPO-RA后4周以上首次评估的血小板计数≥30×10⁹/L,且无其他伴随或挽救治疗。
29/39(74%)例患者有反应:18例(46%)达到CR,11例(28%)达到R。16/29(55%)例有反应者观察到DR。达到7例SR(18%):7例患者中有5例从先前的DR达到SR。CR与随后达到DR在统计学上相关:18例CR患者中有13例(72%)获得DR,而11例R患者中只有3例(27%)获得DR(P = 0.027)。
CR是实现DR的重要预后因素。此外,我们观察到DR患者有获得后续SR的趋势。
