About

The objective of this observational study is to explore the long-term effects of roprastine given to promote platelet implantation in hematopoietic stem cell hemicongruent transplantation in children with thalassemia. The main questions it aimed to answer is:

Is roprastine safe and effective for platelet implantation in children with thalassemia hemicongruent transplantation? Participants who have already received roprastine as part of routine medical care for hematopoietic stem cell hemicongruent transplantation in children with thalassemia will answer online survey questions about the effects of their platelet implantation within 8 weeks.

Full description

Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation is an important, if not the only, means of curing many diseases of the blood system. Thrombocytopenia after transplantation seriously affects the long-term survival rate of patients. allo - The incidence of thrombocytopenia in HSCT patients is 5-20% (< 20 x 10 ^ 9/L), increasing the risk and cost of treatment. There are currently few studies on the promotion of platelet growth in children with thalassemia. Repeated infusion of platelet suspension can lead to many adverse consequences, including blood transfusion reactions, platelet homeoimmune responses, and transfusion-associated virus infections. There is a black box warning of liver toxicity in eltropopa, and the incidence of real-world liver toxicity is 11.8%. Transplant patients are prone to diarrhea, which affects the absorption of oral platelet-raising drugs. Daily subcutaneous injection increases children's pain and poor tolerance. However, the long-acting platelet-raising drugs once after transplantation are well tolerated in children with thalassemia transplantation, and the efficacy is worth looking forward to. Up to now, there is a lack of relevant clinical data on the application of roprastine to promote platelet recovery in children with thalassemia hemiphase transplantation. Therefore, this study aimed to explore the observational study of roprastine to promote platelet implantation in children with thalassemia hemiphase transplantation, and to explore the efficacy and safety of the drug.

Enrollment: 30 estimated patients

Sex: All

Ages: 2 to 17 years old

Volunteers: No Healthy Volunteers

Inclusion criteria

• After undergoing Mediterranean gene testing, reviewing the history of blood transfusions, and conducting a blood routine examination, the patient was diagnosed with severe thalassemia.
• Children aged 2 - 17 years old.
• Agree to the haploidentical transplantation, and the team has evaluated that there are no transplantation contraindications.

Exclusion criteria

• Donor specific antibody Greater than 5000, and after antibody treatment, it should not be lower than 3000.

Trial design

30 participants in 1 patient group

experimental group

Description:

After transplantation + 6 days, the subcutaneous injection of roprastine 3ug/kg was started, and the number of platelets in the machine-taken platelet suspension was increased by 2 µg/kg per week, and the maximum dose was 10 μg/kg. Discontinued until platelets rose to 100 × 109/L. If platelets ≤ 20 X 109/L were used for + 20 days, roprastine combined with atropopa 25mg was given orally once a day. Patients were given 1 therapeutic dose of fresh machine-taken platelet suspension when platelets were ≤ 20 X 109/L, or when there was active bleeding at 21\~ 50 × 109/L. The number of platelets in the machine-taken platelet suspension per therapeutic dose was \> 2.5 × 1011. If not implanted at + 28 days after transplantation, re-transplantation is required, and roprastine is considered ineffective.
