Hereditary haemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT) is a genetic vascular disorder characterised by telangiectases, which cause nasal and gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding, and visceral arteriovenous malformations. Since 2012 bevacizumab, a monoclonal antibody targeting vascular endothelial growth factor, has been a promising treatment for HHT-related bleeding and was evaluated in the phase II BABH study.
To follow and describe evolution and treatments of patients with HHT post-BABH study.
This study is a 1-year, multi-centre descriptive study.
We collected clinical (nose and GI bleeding, red blood cell transfusions) and biological (haemoglobin and ferritin levels) data and treatment information.
Of 22 patients included across 4 centers, 15 received bevacizumab. Among them, 12 (86%) had a >50% decrease in the number of RBC units transfused 3 months post-treatment. Mean haemoglobin levels increased from 83.08 to 105.98 g/L.
Bevacizumab effectively reduces RBC transfusions and is efficient for treating severe bleeding in patients with HHT.
This trial was registered with the ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier #NCT06039124.
遗传性出血性毛细血管扩张症(HHT)是一种遗传性血管疾病,其特征为毛细血管扩张,可导致鼻出血和胃肠道(GI)出血,以及内脏动静脉畸形。自2012年以来,贝伐单抗,一种靶向血管内皮生长因子的单克隆抗体,一直是治疗HHT相关出血的一种有前景的药物,并在II期BABH研究中进行了评估。
在BABH研究后随访并描述HHT患者的病情演变及治疗情况。
本研究是一项为期1年的多中心描述性研究。
我们收集了临床数据(鼻出血和胃肠道出血、红细胞输血情况)、生物学数据(血红蛋白和铁蛋白水平)以及治疗信息。
在4个中心纳入的22例患者中,15例接受了贝伐单抗治疗。其中,12例(86%)在治疗后3个月输注红细胞单位数量减少了50%以上。平均血红蛋白水平从83.08 g/L升至105.98 g/L。
贝伐单抗可有效减少红细胞输血,对治疗HHT患者的严重出血有效。
本试验已在ClinicalTrials.gov注册,标识符为#NCT06039124。
