"Predicting response of severe aplastic anemia to immunosuppression combined with eltrombopag"

Quote:

Our large retrospective study in 177 SAA patients treated with IST plus eltrombopag, incorporating 85 new subjects after the initial publication, 4 has now revealed that pretreatment blood counts remain strong predictors of overall response to IST plus eltrombopag, similar to their predictive value in 240 patients treated with IST alone. We also noted the relationship of ALC with complete response for the first time in both groups of patients, i.e., those treated with IST plus eltrombopag and those treated with IST alone.
