Sickle cell patients may develop a multitude of antibodies and experience life-threatening events with transfusion such as hyperhemolysis syndrome or delayed hemolytic transfusion reaction. Further transfusion may not be possible in such cases.
When conventional blood products are not available for transfusion yet the patient requires additional oxygen-carrying support, artificial oxygen carriers may be required. However, there are no such FDA-approved products available.
Emergency investigational new drug applications for a polymerized hemoglobin-based oxygen carrier (HBOC-201, Hemopure) were completed, and Expanded Access use was granted for these patients. HBOC-201 is an investigational bovine hemoglobin-based oxygen carrier. Herein, we report how acute resuscitation with HBOC-201 was potentially life saving while waiting for supportive therapy, erythropoietin, and/or immune modulatory drugs to take effect in all 3 patients.
镰状细胞病患者可能产生多种抗体,并在输血时经历危及生命的事件,如高溶血综合征或迟发性溶血性输血反应。在这种情况下,可能无法进行进一步输血。
当没有常规血液制品可供输血,但患者需要额外的携氧支持时,可能需要人工氧载体。然而,目前尚无美国食品药品监督管理局(FDA)批准的此类产品。
已完成针对一种基于聚合血红蛋白的氧载体(HBOC - 201,Hemopure)的紧急研究性新药申请,并批准这些患者扩大使用。HBOC - 201是一种基于牛血红蛋白的研究性氧载体。在此,我们报告了在等待支持性治疗、促红细胞生成素和/或免疫调节药物起效的过程中,HBOC - 201的急性复苏如何在所有3例患者中潜在地挽救了生命。
