To analyze the effects of escalating treatment strategy in children with severe chronic immune thrombocytopenia (SCITP).
This was a single-center, retrospective cohort study. Data from children with SCITP who received escalating treatment strategy in our center were collected between June 2017 and August 2019. The escalating strategy included three steps: Step I (six courses of high-dose dexamethasone [HDD]), Step II (HDD combined with low-dose rituximab), and Step III (eltrombopag).
A total of 30 cases (18 males and 12 females) were included, with duration of immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) of 20.5 (12.0-96.0) months. After treatment, the remission rate was 36.7% (11/30) and the sustained response (SR) rate was 68.2% (15/22). The distribution (remission rates) from Step I to III was as follows: nine of 30 (33.3%, 3/9); four of 30 (50%, 2/4); 17/30 (29.4%, 5/17), respectively. In eltrombopag (Step III) cases, 47.5% (8/17) maintained a platelet count of ≥50 × 10 /L, 37.5% (3/8) had dose tapering, and 25% (2/8) have successfully discontinued the medication. The number of patients at 12, 24, and 36 months were 30, seven, and two, with a total response and remission rates of 80% (36.7%), 57.1% (28.6%), and 50% (50%), respectively. The total relapse rate was 26.7% (8/30), and three cases from Step II and five cases from Step III.
The escalating strategy for children SCITP showed an effective improvement rate with 36.7% remission and 68.2% SR, and 30% could benefit and retain SR from HDD treatment. Combined treatment with eltrombopag can reduce the relapse rate of low-dose rituximab.
分析儿童严重慢性免疫性血小板减少症(SCITP)递增治疗策略的效果。
这是一项单中心回顾性队列研究。收集 2017 年 6 月至 2019 年 8 月在我院接受递增治疗策略的 SCITP 患儿的数据。递增策略包括三个步骤:步骤 I(6 个疗程的高剂量地塞米松[HDD])、步骤 II(HDD 联合低剂量利妥昔单抗)和步骤 III(艾曲波帕)。
共纳入 30 例患儿(男 18 例,女 12 例),免疫性血小板减少症(ITP)病程 20.5(12.0-96.0)个月。治疗后,缓解率为 36.7%(11/30),持续反应(SR)率为 68.2%(15/22)。从步骤 I 到步骤 III 的分布(缓解率)如下:30 例中 9 例(33.3%,3/9);4 例(50%,2/4);17 例(29.4%,5/17)。在艾曲波帕(步骤 III)病例中,47.5%(8/17)的血小板计数≥50×10/L,37.5%(3/8)的剂量减少,25%(2/8)的药物成功停药。12、24 和 36 个月的患者数分别为 30、7 和 2,总反应率和缓解率分别为 80%(36.7%)、57.1%(28.6%)和 50%(50%)。总复发率为 26.7%(8/30),其中来自步骤 II 的 3 例和步骤 III 的 5 例。
儿童 SCITP 的递增治疗策略显示出有效的改善率,缓解率为 36.7%,SR 为 68.2%,30%可从 HDD 治疗中获益并保持 SR。艾曲波帕联合治疗可降低低剂量利妥昔单抗的复发率。
