Pure red cell aplasia (PRCA) is a potential complication after ABO-incompatible allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HCT). In case where PRCA persists beyond 60 days post-HCT, spontaneous resolution is rare, and therapeutic intervention is typically required. However, there is currently no established standard of care for its management. We report two cases of post-transplant PRCA that were refractory to conventional therapies, including erythropoietin and rituximab, and were successfully treated with daratumumab. These cases underscore the potential role of daratumumab as an effective therapeutic option in the management of PRCA following ABO-incompatible HCT. Given the limited data available on its use in this setting, our report contributes with valuable clinical evidence supporting its efficacy and safety.
纯红细胞再生障碍性贫血(PRCA)是ABO血型不相合的异基因造血干细胞移植(HCT)后的一种潜在并发症。如果PRCA在HCT后持续超过60天,自发缓解很少见,通常需要进行治疗干预。然而,目前尚无既定的治疗标准。我们报告了两例移植后PRCA病例,这些病例对包括促红细胞生成素和利妥昔单抗在内的传统疗法无效,并成功接受了达雷妥尤单抗治疗。这些病例强调了达雷妥尤单抗在ABO血型不相合HCT后PRCA管理中作为一种有效治疗选择的潜在作用。鉴于其在这种情况下使用的数据有限,我们的报告提供了支持其疗效和安全性的宝贵临床证据。
