BACKGROUND: Eltrombopag is an oral, non-peptide, thrombopoietin-receptor agonist that stimulates thrombopoiesis, leading to increased platelet production. This study assessed the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of once daily eltrombopag 50 mg, and explored the efficacy of a dose increase to 75 mg. METHODS: In this phase III, randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled study, adults from 63 sites in 23 countries with chronic idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP), platelet counts less than 30 000 per muL of blood, and one or more previous ITP treatment received standard care plus once-daily eltrombopag 50 mg (n=76) or placebo (n=38) for up to 6 weeks. Patients were randomly assigned in a 2:1 ratio of eltrombopag:placebo by a validated randomisation system. After 3 weeks, patients with platelet counts less than 50 000 per microL could increase study drug to 75 mg. The primary endpoint was the proportion of patients achieving platelet counts 50 000 per microL or more at day 43. All participants who

Abstract Recent reports have suggested, particularly in adults, an association between Helicobacter pylori infection (HPI) and chronic idiopatic thrombocytopenic purpura (cITP) with improvement of platelet count after eradication therapy. We investigated the association of HPI and cITP and the effect of HP eradication therapy on thrombocytopenia in a population of 24 children of both sexes mean age 8·0±0·28 years (range 5·4-10·7 years), affected by cITP (PLT ≤50 × 109/l) lasting more than 6 months. HPI was investigated by Helicobacter pylori stool antigens (HpSA). In eight out 24 patients (33·3%) HP infection was identified positive and bacterial eradication was successful following 7 days of triple therapy (amoxicillin, clarithromicin and proton pump inibitors). A follow-up of platelet count was performed for 1 year after HpSA detection. Six out eight patients (75%) had total recovery of platelet count during the first year after bacterial eradication (PLT before therapy 32·5±3·5 × 109/l;

This is a Phase 2, multi-center, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled, dose-ranging, parallel-group study. The PK and PK/PD relationship of AKR-501 will also be studied. Approximately 65 eligible patients will be randomized in a 3:3:3:3:1 ratio in a double-blinded fashion into one of five parallel treatment groups to receive daily doses of either AKR-501 2.5, 5, 10 or 20 mg or placebo for 28 days, respectively. Each AKR-501 dosing group will consist of 15 patients while the placebo group will consist of 5 patients. All study patients will be evaluated weekly (Days 3, 5, 7, 14, 21 and 28) for safety, efficacy, and (Days 7, 14, 21, and 28) AKR-501 pharmacokinetics while receiving study treatment with a final assessment for safety and effectiveness to be done 2 weeks after the last study dose (Day 42).. At the completion of Visit Day 28±1, patients who complete 28±1 days of study dosing will be assessed for eligibility to enroll into the rollover Study 501-CL-004 based on this visit. ...

Thrombocytopenic purpura affects around 4 million individuals each year. The condition is caused by a defect in the plasma of the body that causes the platelets present in the blood stream to clot spontaneously, adding hundreds of tiny blood clots to the circulatory system. This spontaneous coagulation of the blood is believed to be caused by a deficiency of a particular enzyme along with a defect in the protein of the plasma. When these two factors are combined, the platelets in the blood began to attach to each other, causing a fine mesh clot in the blood stream that also destroys any red blood cells that it comes into contact with. This production of small blood clots occurs primarily in the blood vessels that supply the brain and the kidneys. The deficiency of platelets in the body that occurs due to the condition is believed to be a result of the bodys immune system attacking the platelets as invasive agents. Thrombocytopenic purpura is a progressive condition that gradually becomes worse ...

C. Laparoscopic splenectomy. The patient was counseled regarding alternative treatment options including rituximab, fostamatinib or splenectomy. Current practice recommendations from the American Society of Hematology recognize rituximab, TPO-RAs and splenectomy as valid second-line therapies for ITP, with patient education and shared decision making encouraged to choose between these options. While limited data support partial splenic embolization as an alternative to splenectomy, splenic embolization has not yet been incorporated into most mainstream clinical practice recommendations.. Rituximab reduces the number of B cells producing antiplatelet antibodies, thereby raising platelet counts. The short-term response rate for rituximab is approximately 60%, with approximately 25% of patients maintaining a durable rise in platelet count at 5 years. TPO-RA therapies induce platelet production by activating TPO receptors on megakaryocytes. Approximately 30% of patients maintain a sustained durable ...

Introduction. Helicobacter pylori, a gram-negative microorganism first isolated by Warren & Marshall in 1984, colonizes the human stomach and may cause type B gastritis and peptic ulcers. Colonization of the stomach by H. pylori is associated with increased risk of gastric cancer,1 and a number of other non-gut-related disorders, such as coronary disease2 and autoimmune diseases including autoimmune thyroiditis3 and chronic idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (cITP).4. cITP is a poorly understood acquired hemorrhagic disease which involves the destruction of platelets in the reticuloendothelial system induced by anti-platelet antibodies.5 To date an effective and safe treatment for cITP has not been established. cITP treatment has been restricted to therapies with the potential of causing significant toxicity and risks including immunosuppressive agents, such as corticosteroids, intravenous immunoglobulin therapy (IVIg), anti-D immunoglobulin (anti-D), rituximab and salvage splenectomy. ...

Idiopathic Thrombocytopenic Purpura, or ITP, is an autoimmune disease in which the blood platelets, which help stop bleeding in the body, are attacked by the bodys immune system. A healthy, functioning adult will have between 150,000 and 450,000 blood platelets but those with Idiopathic Thrombocytopenic Purpura have as few as between 20,000 and 50,000. The cause of Idiopathic Thrombocytopenic Purpura is unknown at this time. This disease affects both men and women with women having a slightly higher tendency for it. It can occur in children as well as adults but the typical on-set age is between 56 and 60. The destruction of blood platelets can lead to the destruction of the spleen.. ...

Immune thrombocytopenia has been reported with increased incidence in high-risk persons such as intravenous drug addicts and homosexual men who have serologic evidence of infection with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura, generally regarded as a rare disorder, has also been seen in association with exposure to HIV. Two patients had classical symptoms and laboratory findings of thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura and the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS)-related complex. Both patients belong to high-risk groups. They were treated with conventional therapy for thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura and followed for 3 months. Their response to treatment was no different from that of other groups of patients with this syndrome. This article alerts physicians to the possible association of thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura, AIDS, and AIDS-related complex. ...

Thrombocytopenic purpura are purpura associated with a reduction in circulating blood platelets which can result from a variety of causes, such as kaposi sarcoma. By tradition, the term idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura is used when the cause is idiopathic. However, most cases are now considered to be immune-mediated. Another form is thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura. Diagnosis is done by the help of symptoms and only blood count abnormality is thrombocytopenia.

Thrombotic Thrombocytopenic Purpura (TTP) is a rare, life-threatening thrombotic microangiopathy characterized by microangiopathic hemolytic anemia, severe thrombocytopenia, and organ ischemia with profound thrombocytopenia. TTP is characterized by severe deficiency in ADAMTS13 (a disintegrin and metalloprotease with thrombospondin type 1 repeats, member 13), the specific von Willebrand factor (vWf)-cleaving protease. The ADAMTS13 gene provides instructions for enzyme production that are involved in the normal process of blood clotting. Normally, cleavage of vWF multimers ...

Idiopathic Thrombocytopenic Purpura: Thrombocytopenia occurring in the absence of toxic exposure or a disease associated with decreased platelets. It is mediated by immune mechanisms, in most cases IMMUNOGLOBULIN G autoantibodies which attach to platelets and subsequently undergo destruction by macrophages. The disease is seen in acute (affecting children) and chronic (adult) forms.

The underlying problem in idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) has traditionally been recognized as accelerated platelet destruction. However, recent studies have provided evidence that the pathophysiology of ITP is more complex, and impaired platelet production has emerged as one of the mechanisms contributing to the thrombocytopenia. On these grounds, second-generation thrombopoietic agents have been used in clinical trials to stimulate platelet production in ITP patients who are not responsive to standard treatments. These new molecules bear no structural resemblance to thrombopoietin (TPO) but still bind and activate the TPO receptor. Studies have been completed for two TPO receptor agonists: romiplostim (formerly AMG 531) and eltrombopag (formerly SB497115). Romiplostim is a recombinant protein defined as a peptibody. Results of phase I-II trials published recently demonstrated that romiplostim given as a weekly subcutaneous injection for 1-6 weeks results in doubling of platelet ...

Summary. The true incidence and prognosis of autoimmune thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) in adults is unknown. We present the results of a prospective study in a population-based cohort of newly presenting adults (≥ 16 years) with ITP and platelet count of , 50 × 109/l, which took place between 1 January 1993 and 31 December 1999 in the former Northern Health Region in the UK (population 3·08 million). A total of 245 cases were confirmed by bone marrow examination with a median follow-up of 60 months (range 6-78 months). There were 134 females/111 males (1·2:1). Overall incidence was 1·6 per 105 per annum. Absolute incidence was similar for both sexes, with highest age-specific incidence in those aged , 60 years. Thirty patients (12%) presented with frank bleeding, and 28% were asymptomatic. Forty-five patients (18%) received no treatment, and 135 (55%) received first-line treatment only. Thirty patients (12%) underwent splenectomy. There were four deaths (1·6%) from bleeding and/or the ...

Background: Idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) is the most prevalent acquired hemorrhagic diathesis in children characterised by antibody-mediated destruction of platelets.

BACKGROUND: Acute idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura(ITP) is one of the common hematologic disorders in children. Bone marrow aspiration(BMA) is often performed in children with acute ITP to rule out leukemia, aplastic anemia or other hematologic diseases. However, whether BMA is needed in children with typical clinical and hematological features of acute ITP have been questioned. This study was performed to examine the proper indication of BMA in acute childhood ITP. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The medical records and BMA reports of children with the provisional diagnosis of acute ITP were reviewed from January 1984 to December 2000. Patients were divided into two groups, one with typical and another with atypical clinical and hematological features of acute ITP. Typical acute ITP group was characterized by the history of previous viral infection, well being appearance, no hepatosplenomegaly, no lymphadenopathy, normal Hb, WBC, neutrophil count and peripheral blood smear except thrombocytopenia.

Since 1931, sporadic reports have appeared noting an apparent association between hyperthyroidism and idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) (1-4). During a recent survey of our patients with ITP (5), we were impressed with what seemed to be an increased prevalence of hyperthyroidism in this group. This observation prompted us to study patients with ITP who were clinically euthyroid to determine if latent Graves disease existed in this population.. The data reported here indicate that there is indeed an increased prevalence of hyperthyroidism and of latent Graves disease in patients with ITP. They suggested that these two diseases may share a similar ...

Abstract: We performed a prospective pilot study on 12 patients to evaluate the efficacy of the anti-CD20 monoclonal antibody rituximab in relapsed idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP). Inclusion criteria were relapse of ITP with a thrombocyte count ,20 000 µL−1 and unsuccessful corticosteroid treatment. Eleven patients had a previous splenectomy, five patients had unsuccessful cytotoxic treatment, and six patients were refractory to intravenous immunoglobulins before rituximab therapy. Response criteria were as follows. Complete remission (CR): normalization of thrombocyte count for at least 30 d. Partial remission (PR): an increase of thrombocytes to above 30 000 µL−1 for at least 30 d. Minor response (MR): any increase above 30 000 µL−1 for less than 30 d but more than 10 d. No response (NR): failure to achieve any of the above responses. Treatment plan: We administered 375 mg m−2 of rituximab once weekly on up to four consecutive weeks, unless there was early CR. Five ...

[Introduction] Within the past decade, progress in immuno-hematology has extended beyond the study of the erythrocyte. The demonstration of antibodies to red cells in some cases of acquired hemolytic anemia and in erythroblastosis fetalis defined the hypothetical existence of analogous phenomena for leucocytes and platelets. Advancements in immunologic technique have elevated the importance of immune bodies in the etiology of several cytopenic blood dis orders. Extensive research has been done to elucidate the presence and nature of an anti-platelet factor in the serum of patients with thrombocytopenic purpura. Evidence of such a serum factor has been found in three varieties of this disease: 1) the idiopathic type, 2) the congenital type, and 3) the drug hyper sensitivity type (e.g., quinidine and sedormid). They have been grouped together as the immunologic thrombocytopenic purpuras. (The drug reaction variety does not include thrombocytopenia due to direct megakaryocyte damage by agents such as
