High- vs regular-dose recombinant human thrombopoietin plus cyclosporine A in patients with newly diagnosed non-severe aplastic anemia: a retrospective cohort study

ABSTRACTBackground: Cyclosporine A (CsA) and regular doses of recombinant human thrombopoietin (rhTPO) can accelerate platelet recovery in patients with non-severe aplastic anemia (NSAA). However, it is unclear whether CsA plus rhTPO at a higher dose can further increase the efficacy.Methods: Data f...

description ABSTRACTBackground: Cyclosporine A (CsA) and regular doses of recombinant human thrombopoietin (rhTPO) can accelerate platelet recovery in patients with non-severe aplastic anemia (NSAA). However, it is unclear whether CsA plus rhTPO at a higher dose can further increase the efficacy.Methods: Data from patients with newly diagnosed NSAA, who had been treated with CsA in combination with different doses of rhTPO between February 2021 and August 2021 at Peking Union Medical College Hospital, were reviewed. All the enrolled patients had been treated with CsA at 3–5 mg/(kg/d), and patients were further classified into high-dose (with rhTPO 30000U qd × 14 days for 2 months) group or regular-dose (with rhTPO 15000U qd × 7days for 3 months) group. The treatment response and therapy-related adverse events were compared.Results: 36 patients including 16 (44.4%) in the high-dose and 20 (55.6%) in the regular-dose group were enrolled. The baseline characteristics were compatible between the two groups. The platelet counts were significantly higher at 1/3/6 months in the high-dose group (p = 0.028, 0.0063 and p = 0.040, respectively). The high-dose group had a significantly shorter time to platelet transfusion independence ([1 (0.5–6) months vs 2.5 (1–12) months, p = 0.040]). There was no significant difference in overall response and complete response rate between the two groups at 1/3/6/12 months (p > 0.05). Treatment-related morbidities were similar between the two groups (p > 0.05).Conclusions: Adding a higher dose of rhTPO can further accelerate platelet recovery and platelet transfusion independence in patients with newly diagnosed NSAA.
