lüll Toxicities of the thrombopoietic growth factors Cuker ASemin Hematol 2010[Jul]; 47 (3): 289-98The thrombopoietic growth factors (TGFs) are a novel class of compounds for the treatment of chronic immune thrombocytopenia (ITP). The first of these agents to receive regulatory approval, romiplostim and eltrombopag, have demonstrated impressive efficacy and tolerability in randomized controlled trials and open-label extension studies of several years duration and stand poised to revolutionize the management of ITP. Nonetheless, critical questions regarding the safety of these agents, particularly after long-term administration, remain partially unanswered. The objective of this review is to describe the reported and potential toxicities of the TGFs, including bone marrow fibrosis, thrombosis, rebound thrombocytopenia, hematologic malignancy, neutralizing antibody formation, hepatotoxicity, cataract formation, and common adverse events. The incidence and clinical implications of these toxicities as well as strategies for patient safety monitoring are examined.|Humans[MESH]|Purpura, Thrombocytopenic, Idiopathic/*drug therapy[MESH]|Thrombopoietin/*adverse effects/therapeutic use[MESH] |
