Objective: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of combination therapy of eltrombopag, recombinant human thrombopoietin (rhTPO) , and standard immunosuppressive therapy (IST) for severe aplastic anemia (SAA) . Methods: A total of 16 cases with SAA treated with IST combined with eltrombopag and rhTPO were retrospectively analyzed. Results: At 3 months, the total response rate was 81.3%, and the complete hematological response rate was 37.5%. At 6 months, the total response rate was 87.5%, and the complete hematological response rate was 50.0%. The median time of platelet transfusion independence was 35 (16-78) days, the median time of red blood cell transfusion independence was 47.5 (15-105) days, the median platelet transfusion was 5.5 (3-20) U, and the median red blood cell transfusion was 6.5 (2-16) U. Conclusion: The combination of eltrombopag and rhTPO can improve the hematological response rate of IST for SAA and the quality of hematological remission with minimal toxic effects.
