Prospective phase 1/2 study of rituximab in childhood and adolescent chronic immune thrombocytopenic purpura

Abstract: , for the Pediatric Rituximab/ITP Study Group and the Glaser Pediatric Research NetworkWe assessed safety and efficacy of rituximab in a prospective study of 36 patients, age 2.6 to 18.3 years, with severe chronic immune thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP). The primary outcome of sustained platelets above 50 ؋ 10 9 /L (50 000/ mm 3 ) during 4 consecutive weeks, starting in weeks 9 to 12, was achieved by 11 of 36 patients (31%, confidence interval [CI], 16% to 48%). Median response time was 1 week (range, 1 to 7 wee… Show more

“…Csak külön egyedi engedéllyel, "offlabel" alkalmazható! A nemzetközi adatok alapján a terá-piás válasz 30-65% [21,22]. Mellékhatásként súlyos szepszist és elhúzódó hypogammaglobulinaemiát (négy-hat hónap) okozhat.…”

“…A plazmaferézis jelenleg már szintén nem standard terápia, de számos ajánlás még megemlíti [10,17,21], nagyon különböző terápiás hatékonysággal (10-60%). Kimutatható, kifejezett ellenanyagképzés esetén megkí-sérelhető.…”

“…The obvious advantage of rituximab therapy is that it may provide a long-term 'remission', but the exact length of this remission and the frequency of it remain poorly defined. Serum sickness may be more common, 5-10%, in paediatric ITP [25]. Infections, including progressive multifocal leucoencephalopathy (PML), occurring after rituximab in children have not been reported [26] nor has there been hepatitis B activation in children with chronic ITP.…”

“…These include vincristine, danazol, cyclosporine, and cyclophosphamide [2,3]. Rituximab and new thrombopoeitin-like drugs have also recently gained attention [4][5][6] in this clinical setting. Rituximab, a monoclonal anti-CD20 antibody, has some efficacy [4], however it is costly, can only be administered intravenously, and ideal dosing for pediatric ITP is unknown.…”
