Prolonged response after TPO-RA discontinuation in primary ITP: results of a prospective multicenter study
In this medfyle
TPO-RAs are associated with immune modulation. However, whether these agents can induce sustained improvement in the platelet count, even after discontinuing TPO-RA therapy, was unknown until now. High rates of sustained platelet response were achieved following discontinuation of TPO-RA therapy in adult patients with persistent or chronic ITP and a documented CR (platelet count >100 × 109/L). Progressive tapering and discontinuation of TPO-RAs for patients with chronic ITP who achieve stable CR on treatment is a suitable treatment strategy.
