Modified Endothelial Activation and Stress Index (mEASIX) Score and Immune Effector Cell Associated Haematotoxicity (ICAHT) Following Varnimcabtagene Autoleucel (IMN-003A), a CD19-Directed Chimeric Antigen Receptor T (CAR-T) Cell Therapy, in the Phase-2 Study (IMAGINE) (ASH 2023)
3%) each received red cells, platelets, G-CSF and romiplostim; majority did not need supportive treatment...mEASIX score may be used as an early predictor of CRS for permissive use of Tocilizumab before onset of severe symptoms. This is the first-in-India industry study evaluating mEASIX and ICAHT in patients treated with CAR-T cell therapy. mEASIX score 1 at D+4 was mildly predictive of CRS. All patients developed ICAHT but only a small number of patients needed supportive treatment.

HLH and TET2 Mutation Presenting after First Cycle of CLL Treatment. (PubMed, Clin Med Res)
Bone marrow biopsy showed partial CLL involvement; bendamustine+rituximab therapy was augmented with granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (g-CSF) and romiplostim to mitigate worsening pancytopenia, without response. Laboratory evaluation revealed a pattern supportive of the clinical impression of HLH, while bone marrow biopsy showed persistent CLL, new reticulin fibrosis, megakaryocytic proliferation, and 32% mutated TET2, but no compelling morphologic evidence of hemophagocytosis. The patient recovered with dexamethasone and g-CSF support.

Clinical and Economic Burden of Illness in Patients with Persistent or Chronic Primary Immune Thrombocytopenia Treated with TPO-Ras and Rituximab (ASH 2023)
Patients with ITP lasting for ≥3 months (persistent or chronic primary ITP), and who do not respond adequately or maintain a response to initial therapy, are usually treated with advanced therapies such as thrombopoietin receptor agonists (TPO-RAs [avatrombopag/romiplostim/eltrombopag]), rituximab, and fostamatinib. All-cause hospitalization was high in this population. Further studies are needed to understand long-term clinical and economic outcomes among ITP patients.

First-Time Users of Advanced Therapies Among Adult Patients with Persistent or Chronic Primary Immune Thrombocytopenia: Patient Characteristics, Treatment Switching Patterns, and Clinical Outcomes (ASH 2023)
Patients who fail to respond or maintain a response to initial therapy (e.g., corticosteroids, intravenous immunoglobulins), move to advanced therapies with robust evidence such as thrombopoietin receptor agonists (TPO-RAs [eltrombopag/ romiplostim/ avatrombopag]), rituximab, and fostamatinib, as per the international consensus guidelines. Approximately 5% of patients underwent splenectomy (incidence rate: 27 per 1000 person-years [95% CI: 15–40]) with mean (SD) time of 245 (186) days post initiation of advanced ITP therapy (Table 2). Conclusion This study demonstrated high clinical burden and need for subsequent additional therapies among patients with primary ITP lasting ≥3 months, which is evident from high rates of switching between advanced therapies, bleeding events requiring medical attention, TEs, and ITP-related hospitalizations.

Emerging data on thrombopoietin receptor agonists for management of chemotherapy-induced thrombocytopenia. (PubMed, Expert Rev Hematol)
In alignment with NCCN guidelines, we recommend that patients with CIT participate in a clinical trial for consideration of TPO-RA treatment or consider off-label use of romiplostim when participation in clinical trials is not possible. The literature to date supports the use of TPO-RAs for treatment of persistent CIT. Further data is needed to describe the long-term efficacy, safety, and prescribing practices of TPO-RAs in a diverse patient population with a variety of tumor types and chemotherapy regimens in addition to exploring the underlying biology of CIT.

IMMUNE EFFECTOR CELL ASSOCIATED HEMATOTOXICITY (ICAHT) FOLLOWING CAR T-CELL THERAPY: INTERNATIONAL SURVEY AND CONSENSUS GUIDELINES ON ITS GRADING, DIAGNOSIS, AND MANAGEMENT ON BEHALF OF EHA AND EBMT (EHA 2023)
In terms of the management of prolonged thrombocytopenia, most survey participants favored TPO agonists such as eltrombopag or romiplostim (86%), followed by autologous stem cell boost, if available (43%). These findings underline the current heterogeneity of practice patterns regarding ICAHT and invite the development of consensus guidelines, which may harmonize grading, establish standard operating procedures for diagnosis, and set management guidelines. For this purpose, an international expert panel will meet in Lille in March 2023. The resulting consensus guidelines will be presented together with the survey results at the EHA meeting.

EFFICACY AND SAFETY OF ROMIPLOSTIM COMBINED WITH CYCLOSPORINE A AS A FIRST-LINE TREATMENT IN PATIENTS WITH APLASTIC ANEMIA: A PHASE 2/3 CLINICAL TRIAL. (EHA 2023)
Background: Romiplostim (Rom), a thrombopoietin receptor agonist (TPO-RA), has been shown to promote tri-lineage hematopoiesis in patients with acquired aplastic anemia (AA) refractory to immunosuppressive therapy (IST) or eltrombopag, another TPO-RA. This is the first study of Rom combined with CsA in patients with acquired AA requiring transfusions who were previously untreated with IST. This ATG-free doublet regimen produced high HRR at Week 27 (41.7%), with manageable AEs, and could therefore serve as a new first-line treatment option in patients with AA depending on the severity and tolerability of ATG.

A PILOT STUDY OF THE ANTI-SLAMF7 MONOCLONAL ANTIBODY, ELOTUZUMAB, IN PATIENTS WITH MYELOFIBROSIS. (EHA 2023)
Elotuzumab (Elo), a SLAMF7-targeting monoclonal antibody, inhibited the differentiation of MF patient-derived fibrocytes in vitro and romiplostim-induced bone marrow (BM) fibrosis and splenomegaly in vivo (Maekawa, Blood 2019). Elo is active in the treatment of MF and has an excellent safety profile. A total of 15 pts are planned to be accrued to this pilot study. Future studies in combination with JAKi therapy appear warranted.

THROMBOPOIETIN RECEPTOR AGONISTS FOR PERSISTENT SEVERE THROMBOCYTOPENIA AFTER ALLOGENEIC STEM CELL TRANSPLANTATION – 5 YEARS SINGLE CENTRE RETROSPECTIVE ANALYSIS (EBMT 2023)
A retrospective study was conducted on patients who received TPO-RAs eltrombopag or romiplostim because of severe persistent thrombocytopenia after alloHSCT at the University Hospital Centre Zagreb, Croatia, from 1/2018 until 11/2022...Nine (52.9%) patients received post-transplant cyclophosphamide... Results of this single-centre retrospective analysis confirmed successful usage of TPO-RAs with 76.5% patients who achieved platelet response with well-known safety profile in the setting of demanding persistent severe thrombocytopenia after alloHSCT, that needs to be further evaluated in larger prospective studies.

Successful Treatment of Romiplostim for Persistent Thrombocytopenia Following CAR-T Cell Therapy in Phi+ B-ALL: A Case Report (EHA-EBMT-CART 2023)
Persistent cytopenias, including thrombocytopenia, are a frequent side effect and can lead to substantial clinical complications (bleeding, infections,...).We report the case of a 47-year-old Caucasian man who received in November 2021 anti-CD19 CAR-T (Brexucabtagene autoleucel) for relapsed Philadelphia + B-ALL diagnosed in 2008. He previously received intensive chemotherapy, tyrosine kinase inhibitors (including asciminib), and two allogenic stem cell transplantations...After 6 weeks, the patient became transfusion independent and thrombocytosis increased until >50G/L. There was no evidence of adverse effects.Romiplostim seems to be a safe and efficient treatment, and should be considered for persistent transfusion-dependent thrombocytopenia following CAR-T cell therapy.

Patients with Multiple Myeloma, Hodgkin Lymphoma, or Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma May Benefit from a Progression-Free Survival and/or an Overall Survival Benefit with Administration of High-Dose Chemotherapy Followed By Autologous Stem Cell Transplantation (ASCT) (TCT-ASTCT-CIBMTR 2023)
Patients received prophylactic vitamin B12, folic acid, oral iron and vitamin K supplements, as well as tranexamic acid and romiplostim for platelets < 10 thousand/microliter and erythropoetin support if hemoglobin (Hb) < 10 g/dL. In this retrospective cohort of real-world patients receiving ASCT under a bloodless therapy protocol, we have shown that our observed transplant-related morbidity and mortality outcomes warrants consideration of high-dose chemotherapy and ASCT for patients who cannot receive blood products. Further investigations are ongoing.

Clinicopathological Features of Isolated Thrombocytopenia Associated with SRSF2 Mutations: A Case Series (ASH 2022)
Three patients were treated with thrombopoietin receptor agonists (2 eltrombopag, 1 romiplostim) and had minimal transient platelet count increases not meeting the IWG MDS criteria for response. Three patients have received allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant.Conclusion :This series describes a subset of CCUS patients with isolated thrombocytopenia associated with SRSF2 mutations. We also describe atypical megakaryocytic findings which do not meet current WHO diagnostic criteria for dysmegakaryopoiesis; however, the uniform presence of these findings in this cohort suggests an association with thrombocytopenia and CCUS.
