Eculizumab in gemcitabine-induced thrombotic microangiopathy: experience of the French thrombotic microangiopathies reference centre

International audienceBackground: Gemcitabine is a broadly prescribed chemotherapy, the use of which can be limited by renal adverse events, including thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA). Methods: This study evaluated the efficacy of eculizumab, a monoclonal antibody targeting the terminal complement pathway, in patients with gemcitabine-induced TMA (G-TMA). We conducted an observational, retrospective, multicenter study in 5 French centres, between 2011 and 2016. Results: Twelve patients with a G-TMA treated by eculizumab were included. The main characteristics were acute renal failure (100%), including stage 3 acute kidney injury (AKI, 58%) and renal replacement therapy (17%), hypertension (92%) and diffuse oedema (83%). Eculizumab was started after a median of 15 days (range 4-44) following TMA diagnosis. A median of 4 injections of eculizumab was performed (range 2-22). Complete hematological remission was achieved in 10 patients (83%) and blood transfusion significantly decreased after only one injection of eculizumab (median of 3 packed red blood cells (range 0-10) before treatment vs 0 (range 0-1) after one injection, P < 0.001). Two patients recovered completely renal function (17%), and 8 achieved a partial remission (67%). Compared to a control group of G-TMA without use of eculizumab, renal outcome was more favourable. At the end of the follow up, median eGFR was 45 vs 33 ml/min/1.73m 2 respectively in the eculizumab group and in the control group. Conclusions: These results suggest that eculizumab is efficient on haemolysis and reduces transfusion requirement in G-TMA. Moreover, eculizumab may improve renal function recovery
