  4. 2010 ICR ITP Recommendations:Abstract Previously published guidelines for the diagnosis and management of primary immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) require updating largely due to the introduction of new classes of therapeutic agents, and a greater understanding of the disease pathophysiology. However, treatment-related decisions still remain principally dependent on clinical expertise or patient preference rather than high-quality clinical trial evidence. This consensus document aims to report on new data and provide consensus-based recommendations relating to diagnosis and treatment of ITP in adults, in children, and during pregnancy. The inclusion of summary tables within this document, supported by information tables in the online appendices, is intended to aid in clinical decision making. Provan D, et al. Blood. 2010;115(2):168-186.

  5. 2011 ASH Guidelines:What is the Most Appropriate Next Therapy? • This section contains major changes vs. 1996 ASH Guidelines1,2 • Significant new treatments have been developed, including thrombopoietin receptor agonists (TPO-RAs) and rituximab • The Guidelines recommend: • Splenectomy for patients who have failed corticosteroid therapy (Grade 1B) (§4.4) • Splenectomy remains the only treatment that provides sustained remission off all treatments at one year and beyond in a high proportion of patients with ITP (§4.4) • TPO-RAs for patients at risk of bleeding who relapse after splenectomy or who have a contraindication to splenectomy and who have failed at least one other therapy (Grade 1B) (§4.4) 1. George JN, et al. Blood. 1996;88:3-40. 2. Neunert C, et al. Blood. Pre-published online, Feb 16, 2011.

  6. Eradicating or suppressing the infection will fix the ITP HIV Hepatitis C Helicobacter pylori CMV

  7. “Wet” Purpura

  8. 40 Cases of ICH in Children with ITP:Psaila et al Blood 2009 • Plt ct < 10k = 75% • Plt ct < 20k = 90% • 13 associated with head trauma • Compared to controls, all 9 with hematuria had an ICH-----bleeding beyond petechiae and ecchymoses • 10 died (25%) and 10 had major neurologic sequelae (25%)

  9. Acute Platelet Increase • gold standard: IVIG at 1 gm/kg • IV anti-D: as fast as IVIG at 75 mcg/kg • Steroids: IV solumedrol 30/kg, high dose dexamethasone or Prednisone 2-4/kg • Platelet transfusions • Combinations including Steroids, IVIG, IV anti-D and/or vincristine----especially in high risk or non-responding cases

  10. Therapies not Acutely Increasing the Platelet Count in ITP Thrombopoeitic agents Rituximab Azathioprine Mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) Cyclosporine Others

  11. New Approach to ITP in Adults Treat aggressively early in the course Prednisone increases the platelet count but results in long term improvement in only a handful of patients Giving dexamethasone (and anti-CD20) may be justified by preventing the development of chronic ITP Mazzucconi, MG et al. Blood. 2007;109:1401-1407; Zaja F, et al. Blood. 2010;115:2755-2762.

  12. Duration of Response to Rituximab Cooper N, et al. Br J Haematol. 2004;125:232-239.

  13. Long-term Effect of Rituximab • 32-40% achieve normal counts which persist for at least 1 year from initial treatment • Children with chronic ITP have similar response and relapse rate to adults • Indefinite response to anti-CD20 lasting more than 3-5 years: Children: 25% Adults: 20% Patel VL, et al. American Society of Hematology Annual Meeting 2010. Abstract 72.

  14. Splenectomy: Long-Term Outcome in 56 Adults With ITP • Early response rate ~80% • Responses usually rapid • 15% relapse rate in first year • Laparoscopic splenectomy results in less morbidity • Predictors of response controversial • Immunize with pneumococcal, Hib, meningococcal vaccine Schwartz J, et al. Am J Hematol.2003;72:94-98. Kojouri K, et al. Blood. 2004;104:2623-2634.

  19. Platelet Production Is Suboptimal in ITP Patients Autoantibodies inhibit Mk growth and promote apoptosis (Chang, McMillan) Autologous 111In-platelet studies show platelet production < normal in 2/3 pts----same results with absolute platelet retics TPO levels normal in 75% of ITP patients (relative TPO deficiency) Damaged or Dysfunctional Mk in marrow (Houwerijl recapitulation of Minot and Dameshek)

  20. Status of Thrombopoietic Agonists in Active ITP Clinical Trial AMG531 --licensed in US August 2008 and approved in UK and multiple countries Eltrombopag--licensed in US November 2008 and approved in multiple countries AKR501 (EE501)----initial study in ITP completed LGB4665 --initial study in ITP completed S888 (Shionogi)--initial study in ITP completed 3SBIO---Studies in ITP completed in China

  33. Platelet responses during the treatment period in all placebo- and romiplostim-treated patients and in patients by age cohort. A (A) Percent of patients who had platelet counts of 50X109/L or greater for 2 consecutive weeks in the absence of rescue medication. (B) Percent of patients who had an increase in platelet counts of 20X109/L or more above baseline for 2 consecutive weeks in the absence of rescue medication. B

  34. Use of TPO-R Agents in ITP: Questions for the Present and the Future • How fast can one increase the count • What is the true rate of response • Do the different agents work equally in all patients • ***Do you give these agents indefinitely or may improvement be seen • Do TPO-R agonists work well with other treatments of ITP
