BackgroundThe present multicenter retrospective study on eltrombopag administration in Italian children with chronic ITP aims to extend follow-up of our previous study.Materials and methodsThis retrospective multicenter study was conducted in 17 centers affiliated to the Italian Association of Pediatric Hematology and Oncology (AIEOP). Patients were classified into three subgroups: group 1 included patients who discontinued treatment due to a stable platelet count; group 2 included patients who discontinued treatment due to ineffectiveness; group 3 included patients who did not permanently discontinue treatment.Results56 patients were eligible for analysis. The median duration of eltrombopag treatment was 40 months (7–71 months). Twenty patients (36%) discontinued permanently eltrombopag. The reasons of permanent discontinuation were adverse effects (n = 1), inefficacy (n = 10), stable platelet count (n = 9). All patients of group 1 maintained a durable response without additional treatments after eltrombopag discontinuation. We found that patients of group 2 were on treatment for less time (median treatment time: 13.5 months, min: 6.0 – max: 56.0) than patients of group 1 (median treatment time: 34 months, min: 16.0 – max: 62.0) (p |
