Efficacy and safety of interferon-α in patients with polycythemia vera and essential thrombocythemia
-
摘要: 目的 观察干扰素-α(interferon-α,IFN-α)治疗真性红细胞增多症(polycythemia vera,PV)和原发性血小板增多症(essential thrombocythemia,ET)患者的有效性和安全性,探索IFN-α的长期使用是否会改善患者的预后。方法 回顾性分析2007年5月—2017年9月诊治的67例PV及48例ET患者的临床资料,根据治疗方案分为IFN-α组(53例)和非IFN-α组(62例),同时将IFN-α组的53例患者根据IFN-α使用时间分为长期IFN-α组(30例)和非长期IFN-α组(23例),比较各组患者的疗效和安全性。结果 IFN-α组血液学总有效率为81.1%,高于非IFN-α组的69.4%。至随访截止时,IFN-α组和非IFN-α组间总生存期和无进展生存期比较差异均无统计学意义,而长期IFN-α组(30例)患者的总生存期和无进展生存期均明显优于非IFN-α组和非长期IFN-α组(85例)患者(P<0.05),且随访期间无严重不良反应发生。结论 长期持续应用IFN-α治疗PV和ET患者是安全的,并且在生存方面长期应用较非长期应用治疗有优势。Abstract: Objective To observe the efficacy and safety of interferon-α(IFN-α) in the treatment of patients with polycythemia vera(PV) and essential thrombocythemia(ET), and explore whether the long-term use of IFN-α will improve the prognosis of patients.Methods The clinical data of 67 patients with PV and 48 patients with ET diagnosed and treated from May 2007 to September 2017 were retrospectively analyzed. According to the treatment regimens, patients were divided into the IFN-α group (53 cases) and the non-IFN-α group (62 cases), while 53 patients in the IFN-α group were divided into the long-term IFN-α group (30 cases) and non-long-term IFN-α group (23 cases) according to the usage time of IFN-α. The efficacy and safety of patients in each group were compared.Results The overall response rate of the IFN-α group was 81.1%, which was higher than 69.4% of the non-IFN-α group. By the end of follow-up, there was no significant difference in the overall survival and progression-free survival between the IFN-α group and the non-IFN-α group, while the overall survival and progression-free survival of the 30 patients in the long-term IFN-α group were significantly better than those of the other 85 patients in the non-IFN-α group and non-long-term IFN-α group(P < 0.05). There were no serious adverse events that occurred during the follow-up.Conclusion Long-term continued use of IFN-α in PV and ET patients is safe, and it has survival advantages compared to non-long-term treatment.
