Pharmacoépidémiologie de la thrombopénie immunologique en France. Suivi de cohorte issue du Système national d'information inter-régimes de l'Assurance maladie et création d'un registre clinique

La thrombopénie immunologique (TI) est une maladie auto-immune rare. Son épidémiologie est mal connue. Le traitement de la TI aiguë repose sur les corticoïdes et les immunoglobulines. Passée la phase aiguë, plusieurs traitements sont possibles, dont la splénectomie, le rituximab et les agonistes du récepteur à la thrombopoiétine. L'exposition aux traitements de la TI en vie réelle n'a jamais été évaluée, et leur risque infectieux jamais comparé. Des vaccinations sont recommandées avant le rituximab et la splénectomie, mais la couverture vaccinale n'est pas connue. Nous avons constitué deux matériels complémentaires : 1) la cohorte French Adult Immune Thrombocytopenia : a pHarmacoepidemiological study (FAITH) est la cohorte des patients adultes incidents ayant une TI primaire traités de façon persistante (plus de 3 mois), bâtie dans le Système National d'Information Inter-régimes de l'Assurance Maladie (SNIIRAM) au niveau national ; 2) le registre Cytopénie Auto-immune : Registre Midi-PyrénéEN (CARMEN) est une étude observationnelle en vie réelle suivant les patients incidents de TI dans la région Midi-Pyrénées. Grâce à ces deux cohortes, nous avons décrit l'épidémiologie de la TI incidente en France, l'exposition aux traitements et la couverture vaccinale chez l'adulte, et évalué le risque infectieux des traitements et l'effet protecteur des vaccins.Immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) is a rare autoimmune bleeding disorder. ITP epidemiology is not well known. ITP treatment is based on glucocorticoids, and intravenous polyvalent immunoglobulin in case of severe bleeding. ITP becomes persistent (lasting more than 3 months) or chronic (more than 12 months) in about 70% of adults. In that case, non-corticosteroid treatments are suggested, mostly splenectomy, rituximab and thrombopoietin receptor agonists. The use of these treatments have never been assessed in the real life practice as well as their effectiveness and safety, particularly as regards the risk of infection. Vaccinations are recommended before splenectomy or rituximab. However, the vaccination rates and their effectiveness has not been assessed. We build two complementary materials: 1) the French Adult Immune Thrombocytopenia: a pHarmacoepidemiological study (FAITH) is the cohort of all incident primary ITP adults persistently treated (more than 3 months), built in the French health Insurance system database (Système national d'information inter-régimes de l'Assurance Maladie, SNIIRAM) at the national level; 2) the Cytopénie Auto-immune : Registre Midi-PyrénéEN (CARMEN) registry that includes and follows all incident ITP adults in the French Midi-Pyrénées region. Thanks to these two cohorts, we could assess the epidemiology of incident ITP in France; describe the exposure ITP treatments; assess the vaccination coverage in rituximab treated and splenectomized patients in France; and assess the risk of infection according to ITP treatments and the protective effect of the vaccines in this population

Adolescents and young adults with newly diagnosed primary immune thrombocytopenia

Current immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) guidelines target children and adults, leading to oversimplification. Adolescents and young adults (AYAS) comprise a separate group with distinct health and psychosocial issues. This study aimed to describe the clinical presentation and therapeutic strategies of ITP among AYAS. We analyzed data from two large ITP registries (PARC-ITP; CARMEN-France) and included newly diagnosed ITP patients (aged 12–25 years) with an initial platelet counts of <100×109/L. Patients with secondary ITP or non-immune thrombocytopenia (n=57) and pregnant women (n=10) were excluded. Of the 656 cases of AYAS with primary ITP registered from 2004 up to 2021, 12-month follow-up data were available for 72%. The initial median platelet count was 12×109/L. In 109 patients (17%), the diagnosis was incidental, without documented bleeding. Apart from gynecological bleeding, the clinical and therapeutical characteristics of females and males were similar. Platelet-enhancing drugs were reported in 66%, 45%, and 30% of patients at diagnosis, 1–6 months, and 6–12 months after diagnosis, respectively. Corticosteroids were the preferred treatment at all time points. At 12 months, 50% of all patients developed chronic ITP. In the subgroup of patients with initial severe thrombocytopenia (<20×109/L), those receiving frontline treatment had a higher remission rate at 1 year than those who followed an initial watch-and-wait strategy (53% and 32%; P<0.05). Our analysis indicates that the remission rate at 1 year may be associated with the initial treatment strategy. This hypothesis must be confirmed in prospective studies

Pharmacoepidemiology of Immune Thrombocytopenia: Protocols of FAITH and CARMEN Studies

Immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) is a rare condition. Its epidemiology is not well-known. First-line treatment is based on corticosteroids. ITP leads to persistency (lasting more than 3 months) in 70% of adult cases. Then, several second-line treatments (SLTs) are available, mainly splenectomy, rituximab (off-label) and thrombopoietin-receptor agonists. Their efficacy and safety have not been compared, particularly in the long-term. FAITH (French Adult primary Immune Thrombocytopenia: a pHarmacoepidemiological study) is dedicated to the building and follow-up of the cohort of all adults with primary ITP in France persistently treated (>3 months) through the database of French Health Insurance system (système national d’information interrégimes d’Assurance maladie, SNIIRAM), in order to assess the benefit-to-risk balance of SLTs in real-life practice. CARMEN (Cytopénies Auto-immunes : Registre Midi-PyrénéEN) is a clinical registry of all incident adult ITP patients in the Midi-Pyrénées region. It is aimed at describing ITP clinical features, assessing SLT benefit-to-risk balance and adherence to guidelines for ITP management. FAITH is registered n°ENCEPP/SDPP/4574
