Of mice and men: an open-label pilot study for treatment of immune thrombocytopenic purpura by an inhibitor of Syk

Abstract

To determine whether inhibition of Syk would be useful in FcγR-dependent cytopenias such as immune thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) or autoimmune hemolytic anemia, mouse models were used to evaluate efficacy of R406, an inhibitor of Syk function, in treating cytopenia. Both disease models responded favorably to treatment, with amelioration of ITP being more dramatic. Thus, phase 2 clinical trial was initiated to study the effects of Syk inhibition in humans with ITP. Sixteen adults with chronic ITP were entered into an open-label, single-arm cohort dose-escalation trial beginning with 75 mg and escalating as high as 175 mg twice daily. Doses were increased until a persistent response was seen, toxicity occurred, or 175 mg twice daily was reached. Eight patients achieved persistent responses with platelet counts greater than 50 × 109/L (50 000 mm3) on more than 67% (actually 95%) of their study visits, including 3 who had not persistently responded to thrombopoietic agents. Four others had nonsustained responses. Mean peak platelet count exceeded 100 × 109/L (100 000 mm3) in these 12 patients. Toxicity was primarily GI-related with diarrhea (urgency) and vomiting; 2 patients had transaminitis. In conclusion, inhibition of Syk was an efficacious means of increasing and maintaining the platelet count in half the patients with chronic refractory ITP. (ClinicalTrials.gov, no. NCT00706342).

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
