Treatment Patterns in Aplastic Anemia: Background § Aplastic anemia extremely rare, characterized by pancytopenia and hypocellular BM[1] § When matched related donors unavailable for SCT, frontline immunosuppressive therapy (eg, ATG ± cyclosporine/tacrolimus) used[2] – Pts responding poorly to initial immunosuppression can repeat treatment, add or switch to a TSA (eltrombopag, romiplostim) or androgens, or reconsider allo. HSCT § Health economic burden poorly understood, particularly in refractory pts § Current retrospective medical records review assessed real-world healthcare utilization in pts with severe aplastic anemia and insufficient response to immunosuppressive treatment[3] 1.

Treatment Patterns in Aplastic Anemia: Conclusions § In adults with severe AA and insufficient response to immunosuppression – Nearly all (98%) pts received RBC or PLT transfusions, 75% received ≥ 1 HSCT – Most pts received ATG with a calcineurin inhibitor (95%) for primary therapy and either eltrombopag (28%) or androgens (15%) as secondary therapy before HSCT – Mean healthcare resource utilization before HSCT: 0. 9 hospitalizations PPPY, 0. 4 ED visits PPPY, 12. 8 office visits PPPY – In subset receiving eltrombopag, mean number of transfusions and healthcare resource utilization rates both decreased after eltrombopag initiation vs before eltrombopag treatment § Investigators consider chart review a hypothesis-generating study limited by small pt number (due to rare incidence of disease) and data explicitly available in given medical records Peffault De Latour R, et al.
