  • Achieving Comprehensive Care for Chronic Immune Thrombocytopenia: Exploring Emerging Therapies to Address Patient-centric Hematological and Non-Hematological Outcomes

    This program is supported by an educational grant from Sanofi.


    3:00 p.m. - 6:00 p.m. Eastern time

    Hyatt - Regency Ballroom R

    Up to 20% of pediatric patients and up to 70% of adult patients with immune thrombocytopenia have chronic disease, persisting for at least 12 months. Though available treatment options have seen some success, they are limited in their ability to address the underlying autoimmune platelet destruction etiology of ITP and often possess negative risk profiles. As a result, patients often live with uncontrolled hematological and non-hematological disease burden, including fatigue and cognitive impairment. Emerging therapies, such as Bruton’s tyrosine kinase inhibitors (BTKi), FcRN blockers, and other strategies, may offer more effective, durable, and safer treatment options to address the multi-faceted burden of ITP. Ensuring patients can access these novel therapies requires efforts to remain up-to-date with their supporting scientific data and understand principles for integrating treatments into practice. Through a dynamic format that integrates evidence-based presentations, panel discussions, and clinical cases, expert faculty participating in this symposium will bring evolving science to life and provide clinical insights to evolving strategies to address hematological and non-hematological ITP manifestations and improve the patient experience.

    Learning objectives:

    o   Describe the role of systemic inflammation in the development and progression of ASCVD and CKD, including the bidirectional relationship between these conditions 

    o   Apply evidence-based strategies to optimize the use of hsCRP in assessing residual inflammatory risk and guiding treatment decisions in ASCVD and CKD 

    o   Assess emerging therapeutic strategies that target residual inflammatory risk to reduce CV events in patients with ASCVD and CKD, including their mechanisms of action, efficacy, and safety  

    o   Evaluate the clinical implications of emerging inflammation-targeted therapies in ASCVD and CKD, including prospective considerations for clinical integration and their potential impact on patient outcomes

    Filling in the Gaps in Hemophilia Guideline Recommendations: Evidence-Based Strategies to Optimize Patient-Relevant Outcomes

    This program is supported by an independent medical education grant from Sanofi.


    3:00 p.m. - 6:00 p.m. Eastern time

    OCCC - Valencia Room W415A

    Hemophilia is a rare, chronic disease caused by a deficiency of factor VIII (hemophilia A) or factor IX (hemophilia B) in which impaired coagulation leads to recurrent bleeding into joints, muscles, and internal organs, resulting in long-term complications such as chronic arthropathy. Recently approved and emerging therapies have the potential to transform care for patients with hemophilia A and B, but providers have difficulty keeping pace with the latest advances. To further complicate matters, the recent treatment guideline issued by the International Society on Thrombosis and Haemostasis (ISTH) contradicted previous guideline recommendations regarding topics such as which patients should receive prophylaxis; in addition, it failed to address the benefit of newer therapies. In light of these issues, the proposed CME-approved live hemophilia panel discussion, to take place as a Friday Satellite Symposium at the 67th American Society of Hematology (ASH) Annual Meeting, will arm hematologists and other members of the interprofessional hemophilia care team with tools they require to apply the latest evidence to the tailored management of hemophilia A and B.

    This Friday Satellite Symposium will feature a panel of experts in the management of hemophilia in children and adults. The hemophilia panel will be charged with re-examining the guidelines and incorporating these into their own recommendations in the following areas:

    • Defining appropriate treatment goals for patients with hemophilia
    • Identifying patient-relevant outcomes by which prophylactic agents should be evaluated
    • Determining which patients with hemophilia should receive prophylaxis
    • Comparing prophylactic options for hemophilia A and B: short- and long-term safety, patient-relevant efficacy outcomes in different populations, and therapeutic selection considerations
    • Appraising prophylaxis protocols for major invasive procedures
    • Reducing the burden of hemophilia treatment and improving adherence
    • Utilizing pharmacokinetic-guided prophylaxis
    • Enabling increased physical activity without risk of bleeds
    • Engaging patients in shared decision making

    Case studies with audience polling will be used to refine the recommendations and foster interactive discussions between the hemophilia panel members and learners. Discussions will focus on the implementation of management plans based on the panel’s recommendations, as well as patient and disease characteristics, prior lines of therapy, shared decision making, response assessment, and quality-of-life concerns. 

    Following the Friday Satellite Symposium, the panel recommendations will be written into a position statement and submitted to a peer-reviewed journal for publication to be disseminated. This will summarize the most relevant analyses and actionable items engendered by the hemophilia panel discussion, with the educational goal of providing learners with an evidence-based overview of expert recommendations for the management hemophilia within the context of patient-centered care.

    OCCC - W224ABEF

    Paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH) is a rare genetic hematologic disorder that stems from deficient proteins that mediate the complement pathway. [DeZern 2015] Unregulated complement activity leads to its hallmark manifestations of hemolytic anemia, bone marrow failure, and elevated risk of thrombosis. The clinical symptoms vary considerably between affected individuals. Patients may present with unexplained hemolytic anemia, fatigue, jaundice, and red/pink/dark urine, while others experience headaches, dysphagia, scleral icterus, or confusion. Approximately 10-20 people per million worldwide live with PNH. [Cancado 2021] Although it can occur at any age, PNH is often diagnosed between the ages of 30 to 40. [Hill 2017]; [Schrezenmeier 2020].

    Before the availability of effective treatments, the median survival was just 15 to 20 years, with thrombosis as the leading cause of death. [Bektas 2020a] The development of targeted complement inhibitors has transformed outcomes for patients with PNH, enabling patients to achieve life expectancies similar to age-matched controls.
