Pilot study of pegylated interferon-alpha 2b in patients with essential thrombocythemia.

Abstract:

PURPOSE:Interferon-alpha (IFN-alpha) has been shown to control symptoms, reduce platelet counts, and reduce the bone marrow megakaryocyte mass in patients with essential thrombocythemia (ET). A semisynthetic protein-polymer conjugate of IFN-alpha 2b (PEG-IFN2b) increases the serum half-life of IFN-alpha 2b. We conducted a pilot study of Peg-IFN2b in patients with ET. PATIENTS AND METHODS:Patients with a history of persistent (greater than 2 months) platelet counts >600 x 10(9)/l, with hyperplasia of bone marrow megakaryocytes in the absence of an alternate identifiable cause of thrombocytosis were eligible. Patients were required to have either thrombohemorrhagic signs and/or symptoms if previously untreated; persistence of thrombohemorrhagic signs and/or symptoms if receiving anagrelide, IFN-alpha, or hydroxyurea; or intolerance to anagrelide, IFN-alpha, or hydroxyurea. The initial PEG-IFN2b dose was from 1.5 to 4.5 micro g/kg per week subcutaneously with subsequent dose adjustments as indicated by response and adverse events. RESULTS:Eleven patients (nine female, median age 54 years, range 26-69 years) were treated. PEG-IFN2b rapidly controlled platelet counts and resolved symptoms in all patients. The median duration of PEG-IFN2b therapy on-study was 9 months (range 4-17 months). No patient had signs or symptoms of thrombosis or hemorrhage while on study. After 2 months of therapy, 10 patients (91%) were in complete remission, and 11 (100%) after 4 months. One patient discontinued therapy at 4 months because of persistent grade 3 fatigue and a second at 5 months because of anxiety and depression. CONCLUSION:PEG-IFN2b has significant activity in patients with ET. Long-term follow-up of a larger cohort of patients is needed to define its role in this disease.

  • Effect of cyclosporine A on the tissue distribution and pharmacokinetics of etoposide.

    abstract:PURPOSE:Cyclosporine A (CyA) is able to inhibit P-glycoprotein (P-gp) and to increase cytotoxicity of some anticancer drugs, including etoposide. However, the effect of CyA on the distribution of etoposide in normal tissues, which could affect their toxicity, has not been studied extensively. The purpose of this study ...
