ABSTRACT
Slow platelet recovery frequently occurs after haploidentical hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (haplo-HSCT) with bone marrow graft and post-transplant cyclophosphamide (PCy)-based graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) prophylaxis. Improved platelet recovery may reduce the need for transfusions and improve outcomes. We investigated the safety and efficacy of eltrombopag, a thrombopoietin receptor agonist, at enhancing platelet recovery post-haplo-HSCT. The prospective study included patients ≥18 years of age who received haplo-HSCT with bone marrow graft and PCy. Patients received eltrombopag 300 mg/day starting on Day +5. The primary objective was to estimate platelet engraftment (>50 000/µL by Day 60). In a post hoc analysis, they were compared to a contemporary matched control group who did not receive eltrombopag. One hundred ten patients were included in the analysis (30 eltrombopag and 80 control). Seventy-three percent and 50% of patients in the eltrombopag group and control group, respectively, attained >50 000/µL platelet count by Day 60 (p = .043). No eltrombopag-related grade ≥4 adverse events were observed. Median time to platelet recovery (>20 000/µL) was 29 days with eltrombopag and 31 days for controls (p = .022), while its cumulative incidence was 90% (95% confidence interval [CI] 78%-100%) with eltrombopag versus 67.5% (95% CI 57%-78%) for controls (p = .014). Number of platelet transfusions received, overall survival, progression-free survival, GVHD rate, relapse rate, and non-relapse mortality were similar between groups. Overall, eltrombopag is safe and improves platelet recovery in patients undergoing haplo-HSCT with bone marrow graft and PCy.
