Ibrutinib Is Effective in the Treatment of Autoimmune Haemolytic Anaemia in Mantle Cell Lymphoma
نویسندگان
چکیده
Autoimmune haemolytic anaemia (AIHA) in mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is a rare but life-threatening complication. To date, there are no relevant data for treatment of AIHA in MCL. Ibrutinib, which has been approved for relapse/refractory MCL, is an immunomodulatory drug inhibiting Th2 activation and consequently the production of autoantibodies. We report a case of MCL with AIHA in which this form of anaemia was not controlled with the usual chemotherapy. Ibrutinib was used when MCL with AIHA relapsed, and it allowed rapid remission of AIHA and rapid discontinuation of steroid therapy.

متن کاملUnmet needs in the treatment of mantle cell lymphoma.
Mantle cell lymphoma is one of the most challenging hematologic malignancies, owing to an aggressive disease course, a high rate of relapse, and lack of standard of care. In the United States, mantle cell lymphoma accounts for approximately 6% of all newly diagnosed cases of non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Because most patients are initially diagnosed with advanced-stage disease, they are often symptomat...
