Abstract

In this issue of Blood,Winkler et al1 report that extending eltrombopag therapy to at least 24 weeks can improve hematologic responses in patients with refractory severe aplastic anemia (rSAA), a lymphocyte-mediated bone marrow failure syndrome. Genetic analysis of patients from this and the initial rSAA cohorts2,3 warn of cytogenetic evolution in 18% of eltrombopag-treated rSAA patients.
