Background: Congenital amegakaryocytic thrombocytopenia (CAMT) is a bone marrow failure syndrome with autosomal recessive inheritance characterized by the lack of megakaryocytes and thrombocytopenia. The cause of the disease is a mutation in the c-Mpl gene, which encodes the thrombopoietin (TPO) receptor. The main treatment for this genetic disorder is an allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant (allo-HSCT).

Introduction: Primary immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) is an acquired autoimmune disease of unknown cause. Autoantibodies, self-reactive T cells and other immune abnormalities, with impairment of platelet production, lead to a reduced platelet count. Until recently, therapy was largely empirical using immune suppressants (none of which have undergone randomized clinical trials).

Anti-PD-1/PD-L1 immunotherapy has achieved impressive responses in multiple types of malignancies in recent years. However, immune-related adverse events (irAEs) occur and limit their continuous clinical use. Among these irAEs, acquired amegakaryocytic thrombocytopenia (AAT) is rare but often clinically serious, life-threatening and refractory to multiple treatment approaches.

Chemotherapy is the mainstay of treatment for advanced pancreatic cancer however, due to possible myelotoxicity, it is used with caution in patients with thrombocytopenia, especially when severe. TPO-receptor agonists have been employed for chemotherapy-induced thrombocytopenia, however treatment with TPO-receptor agonists to allow chemotherapy in patients with inherited thrombocytopenia has not been reported so far. We report the first successful use of eltrombopag to prevent chemotherapy-induced thrombocytopenia in a patient with MHY9-related disorder and pancreatic cancer.
