A systematic review and meta-analysis of recombinant human soluble thrombomodulin for the treatment of DIC associated with hematological malignancies. Int J Hematol 2024; 119:416-425. [PMID: 38270783 DOI: 10.1007/s12185-023-03704-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/04/2023] [Revised: 12/25/2023] [Accepted: 12/27/2023] [Indexed: 01/26/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Recombinant human soluble thrombomodulin (rhTM) is commonly used in Japan to treat disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC), but its efficacy compared with other anticoagulants is unclear. We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to investigate this issue in DIC patients with hematological malignancies. METHODS We searched PubMed, Cochrane, and Scopus for prospective and retrospective studies evaluating the efficacy and safety of rhTM in DIC patients with hematological malignancies between April 2008 and April 2023. We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis evaluating recovery from DIC, hemorrhagic adverse events (AEs), and overall survival (OS). RESULTS We analyzed one prospective (64 patients) and seven retrospective studies (209 patients). Use of rhTM was associated with a higher rate of recovery from DIC (OR: 2.25 [1.09-4.63] and 1.98 [1.12-3.50] in prospective and retrospective studies, respectively; same order below) and fewer hemorrhagic AEs (OR: 0.83 [0.30-2.30] and 0.21 [0.08-0.57]). rhTM did not improve OS (OR: 1.06 [0.42-2.66] and 1.72 [0.87-3.39]), although the incidence of hemorrhagic death was lower in the rhTM group (0 of 94 patients). CONCLUSION Use of rhTM in patients with hematological malignancy-associated DIC is strongly expected to be effective and safe.

Abstract
A standard treatment for disseminated intravascular coagulation in neonates has not yet been established. We analyzed the outcomes of 23 neonates who developed disseminated intravascular coagulation due to infection or asphyxia between 2004 and 2017. The overall survival rate was 95.7% on day 28 after anticoagulant therapy. In contrast, the bleeding-free survival rate was 69.6% (95% confidence interval, 53.1%-91.2%). Of the 6 neonates with intracranial bleeding, 2 developed neurological sequelae. The current study showed that intracranial bleeding remained a major problem in the early 2000s, despite the introduction of a new anticoagulant drug, recombinant thrombomodulin, at our institution since 2009.

Biochem Biophys Res Commun 2022; 587:1-8. [PMID: 34856423 DOI: 10.1016/j.bbrc.2021.11.086] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/05/2021] [Revised: 11/10/2021] [Accepted: 11/24/2021] [Indexed: 11/27/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Accidental hypothermia (AH) sometimes leads to coagulation disorder, especially in severe AH. We previously demonstrated that intrasplenic platelet activation caused aberrant hemostasis and thrombus formation after rewarming in a murine AH model. However, no study has focused on the appropriate management of platelets causing coagulation activation after rewarming of AH. We investigated whether or not recombinant soluble thrombomodulin (rTM) can suppress thrombosis formation after rewarming using a rat AH model. METHODS Wistar rats were exposed to an ambient temperature of -20 °C under general anesthesia until their rectal temperature decreased to 26 °C. The Hypo group rats (n = 5) were immediately euthanized, while the Hypo/Re group (n = 5) and rTM group rats (n = 5), which were administered rTM (1 mg/kg) via the tail vein, were rewarmed until the rectal temperature returned to 34 °C and then euthanized 6 h later. Tissue and blood samples were collected from all rats for histopathological and coagulation analyses at euthanasia. RESULTS There was no significant change in the D-dimer level in the Hypo group rats, while the D-dimer level was significantly elevated at 6 h after rewarming in the Hypo/Re group rats (P = 0.015), and histopathology detected both fibrin and platelets in the renal glomerulus. However, the rTM group rats did not show any elevation of the D-dimer levels at 6 h after rewarming, and no fibrin was noted on histopathology. CONCLUSIONS rTM may be useful as an appropriate anticoagulant in cases of aberrant hemostasis after rewarming of AH.

Ikezoe T. Advances in the diagnosis and treatment of disseminated intravascular coagulation in haematological malignancies. Int J Hematol 2020; 113:34-44. [PMID: 32902759 DOI: 10.1007/s12185-020-02992-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 19] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/24/2020] [Revised: 08/22/2020] [Accepted: 08/28/2020] [Indexed: 11/26/2022]
Abstract
Haematological malignancies, including acute leukaemia and non-Hodgkin lymphoma, are one of the underlying diseases that frequently cause disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC), an acquired thrombotic disorder. Concomitant DIC is associated with the severity of the underlying disease and poor prognosis. The Japanese Society on Thrombosis and Hemostasis released the new DIC diagnostic criteria in 2017. This criteria include coagulation markers such as soluble fibrin and the thrombin-antithrombin complex to more accurately evaluate the hypercoagulable state in patients. Among several groups of anticoagulants available, recombinant human soluble thrombomodulin is most frequently used to treat DIC caused by haematological malignancies in Japan. DIC is remitted in parallel with the improvement of the underlying haematological diseases; thus, there is room for debate regarding whether the treatment of DIC would improve the prognosis of patients. Haematopoietic stem cell transplantation as well as the recently introduced chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-T-cell therapy are innovative therapies to produce a cure in a subset of patients with haematological malignancies. However, coagulopathy frequently occurs after these therapies, which limits the success of the treatment. For example, DIC is noted in approximately 50% of patients after CAT-T-cell therapy in conjunction with cytokine release syndrome. Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) causes endotheliitis, which triggers coagulopathy and the development of potentially lethal complications, such as sinusoidal obstruction syndrome/veno-occlusive disease and transplant-associated thrombotic microangiopathy. This review article describes the pathogenesis, clinical manifestation, diagnosis, and treatment of DIC caused by haematological malignancies, CAR-T-cell therapy, and HSCT.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Danaparoid sodium and synthetic protease inhibitors (SPIs) have been approved for the treatment of disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) in Japan. OBJECTIVES To compare the clinical results of the treatment of DIC with danaparoid or SPIs. METHODS We retrospectively examined 188 patients with hematological malignancy-related DIC. RESULTS DIC resolution rate in the danaparoid group was higher than that in the SPIs group (61.5 vs. 42.6%; p = 0.031) on day 7. Multivariate analysis identified the response to chemotherapy as independent predictive factor for DIC resolution on day 7 (odds ratio, OR, 2.28; 95% confidence interval, CI, 1.21-4.31; p = 0.011). While there was no significant difference in the DIC resolution rate on day 14 (75.0 vs. 62.4%; p = 0.117), in a subgroup analysis of patients who did not show an improvement in the underlying disease, the danaparoid group showed a significantly better DIC resolution rate (OR 3.89; 95% CI 1.15-13.2; p = 0.030). There was no difference in the rate of cumulative mortality from bleeding within 28 days between the 2 groups (6.6 vs. 3.3%; p = 0.278). CONCLUSIONS Danaparoid may be associated with more frequent resolution of DIC in patients with refractory underlying disease.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Global hemostatic mechanism(s) in patients with disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) are poorly understood. There are few diagnostic criteria of DIC based on overall or global hemostatic mechanisms. METHODS We have assessed in detailed the dynamic global hemostatic changes using thrombin and plasmin generation assay (T/P-GA), clot fibrinolytic waveform analysis (CFWA) and not-activated rotational thromboelastometry (NATEM), in a young girl with DIC associated with acute myeloid leukemia (AML). The ratios of endogenous thrombin potential (T-EP) and plasmin lag time (P-LT) relative to normal plasma was sourced from pooled normal plasma from healthy volunteers on T/P-GA. RESULTS The inverse P-LT ratio prior to tranexamic acid (TXA) treatment was greater than the T-EP ratio (1.1-2.8 and 0.83-1.2, respectively). Significant reduction in inverse P-LT ratio (0.084-1.3) was observed after TXA treatment. The interval from clotting to the initiation of fibrinolysis (fibrinolysis lag time: FLT) in CFWA was significantly shorter than the control at onset (74.2-91.6 s vs 109 s), indicating enhanced fibrinolysis. Data from an adult with acute promyelocytic leukemia-associated DIC also supportively showed a high inverse P-LT ratio (2.1) and shortened FLT (83.7 s). The clotting time in patient whole blood using NATEM-mode during an episode of severe epistaxis markedly shortened beyond control, but returned to normal after the addition of an anti-tissue factor (TF) monoclonal antibody. CONCLUSION The release of intravascular TF contributed to sustained activation of coagulation and subsequent fibrinolytic activity in this patient with AML-associated DIC, and T/P-GA could provide better quantitative data than conventional assays in these circumstances.

Abstract
Thrombomodulin plays a vital role in maintaining intravascular patency due to its anticoagulant, antiinflammatory, and cytoprotective properties. However, under pathological conditions such as sepsis and systemic inflammation, endothelial thrombomodulin expression is downregulated and its function impaired. As a result, administering thrombomodulin represents a potential therapeutic modality. Recently, the effect of recombinant thrombomodulin administration in sepsis-induced coagulopathy was evaluated in a randomized controlled study (SCARLET). A 2.6% 28-day absolute mortality reduction (26.8% vs. 29.4%) was reported in 800 patients studied that was not statistically significant; however, a post hoc analysis revealed a 5.4% absolute mortality reduction among the patients who fulfilled the entry criterion at baseline. The risk of bleeding did not increase compared to placebo control. Favorable effects of thrombomodulin administration have been reported not only in sepsis-induced coagulopathy but also in disseminated intravascular coagulations with various backgrounds. Interestingly, beneficial effects of recombinant thrombomodulin in respiratory, renal, and cardiovascular diseases might depend on its anti-inflammatory mechanisms. In this review, we summarize the accumulated knowledge of endogenous as well as recombinant thrombomodulin from basic to clinical aspects and suggest future directions for this novel therapeutic agent.

Abstract
Disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) is a life-threatening condition that frequently occurs in patients with hematologic malignancies. Currently, recombinant human soluble thrombomodulin (rTM) is a therapeutic DIC drug that is manufactured and sold in Japan only. We evaluated the efficacy of rTM compared to that of gabexate mesilate (GM), which was previously used routinely for treating DIC in Japan, in patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML). This retrospective study enrolled 43 AML patients, including 17 with acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL), that was complicated with DIC. DIC resolution rates in non-APL AML and rTM-treated APL patients were 68.4% and 81.8%, respectively. In non-APL AML patients, the duration of rTM administration was significantly shorter than that of GM (7 vs 11 days), suggesting that rTM could improve DIC earlier than GM, although rTM was used in patients with more severe DIC. Moreover, treatment with rTM significantly improved DIC score, fibrinogen, fibrin/fibrinogen degradation product (FDP), and prothrombin time (PT) ratio. Conversely, treatment with GM only improved the DIC score and FDP. In APL patients, the duration of rTM administration was also significantly shorter than that of GM. No severe side effects associated with the progression of bleeding were observed during rTM administration. These findings suggest that rTM is safe, and its anti-DIC effects are more prompt than GM for treating AML patients with DIC.

Abstract
Disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) is an acquired clinicobiological
syndrome characterized by widespread activation of coagulation leading to fibrin
deposition in the vasculature, organ dysfunction, consumption of clotting
factors and platelets, and life-threatening hemorrhage. Disseminated
intravascular coagulation is provoked by several underlying disorders (sepsis,
cancer, trauma, and pregnancy complicated with eclampsia or other calamities).
Treatment of the underlying disease and elimination of the trigger mechanism are
the cornerstone therapeutic approaches. Therapeutic strategies specific for DIC
aim to control activation of blood coagulation and bleeding risk. The clinical
trials using DIC as entry criterion are limited. Large randomized, phase III
clinical trials have investigated the efficacy of antithrombin (AT), activated
protein C (APC), tissue factor pathway inhibitor (TFPI), and thrombomodulin (TM)
in patients with sepsis, but the diagnosis of DIC was not part of the inclusion
criteria. Treatment with APC reduced 28-day mortality of patients with severe
sepsis, including patients retrospectively assigned to a subgroup with
sepsis-associated DIC. Treatment with APC did not have any positive effects in
other patient groups. The APC treatment increased the bleeding risk in patients
with sepsis, which led to the withdrawal of this drug from the market. Treatment
with AT failed to reduce 28-day mortality in patients with severe sepsis, but a
retrospective subgroup analysis suggested possible efficacy in patients with
DIC. Clinical studies with recombinant TFPI or TM have been carried out showing
promising results. The efficacy and safety of other anticoagulants (ie,
unfractionated heparin, low-molecular-weight heparin) or transfusion of platelet
concentrates or clotting factor concentrates have not been objectively
assessed.

Abstract
It has been suggested that use of recombinant soluble thrombomodulin (rTM) is superior to conventional drugs in treatment of disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) complicating acute leukemia. However, its safety and efficacy have not been fully examined in prospective studies. Here, we performed a multicenter prospective study to examine outcomes of rTM treatment for DIC in patients with acute leukemia. Of 33 patients registered in this study, 13 had acute myeloid leukemia (AML), three had acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), and 17 had acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL). The cumulative rates of DIC resolution at day 7 and day 35 were 56 and 81% in AML/ALL and 53 and 77% in APL, respectively. The median time from the initiation of rTM to DIC resolution was 4 days in AML/ALL and 6 days in APL patients. Adverse events related to hemorrhage occurred in two AML/ALL patients (13%) and three APL patients (18%). Of these, one AML/ALL patient died with intracranial hemorrhage, and two APL patients died with intracranial hemorrhage and pulmonary hemorrhage. These results suggest that rTM may improve the survival of acute leukemia patients with DIC by inhibiting early death related to hemorrhagic events, as reported previously.

Abstract
An 8-year-old boy developed anorexia, fatigue, and fever. Laboratory examination revealed a high white blood cell (WBC) count of 145×10/μL with 97.5% abnormal promyelocytic cells that contained Auer bodies. Faggot cells were seen. He was diagnosed with acute promyelocytic leukemia. Later, a chromosome analysis showed 46,XY,t(15;17)(q22;q12). Promyelocytic Leukemia-retinoic acid receptor α-fused gene and chimeric mRNA were confirmed by fluorescence in situ hybridization and reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction, respectively. He was complicated with disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) and his fibrin and fibrinogen degradation product at the onset was 37.6 μg/mL. Human recombinant thrombomodulin (rTM) was started for DIC. After dexamethasone was administered at a dose of 8 mg/m to prevent all-trans retinoic acid syndrome on day 1, all-trans retinoic acid was started at a dose of 45 mg/m on day 4. Cytarabine (100 mg/m/d) and daunorubicin (45 mg/m/d) were started on day 9. The WBC count gradually increased to 270×10/μL on day 8, and then decreased beginning on day 9. DIC improved after the initiation of chemotherapy and only minor petechia was noted. DIC did not become worse even after rTM was stopped on day 8. The risk of DIC and bleeding is high in the early stage of treatment for acute promyelocytic leukemia, especially in patients with a high WBC count. In our patient, rTM may have prevented fatal DIC and made it possible to safely administer induction chemotherapy.

Co-occurrence of hyperleukocytosis and elevated fibrin-fibrinogen degradation product levels is a risk factor for early intracranial hemorrhage in patients with de novo acute leukemia. Int J Hematol 2016; 104:612-620. [PMID: 27456463 DOI: 10.1007/s12185-016-2072-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/12/2016] [Revised: 07/19/2016] [Accepted: 07/19/2016] [Indexed: 11/24/2022]
Abstract
Early intracranial hemorrhage (eICH) is a potentially fatal complication of acute leukemia. We analyzed risk factors for eICH in patients with de novo acute leukemia. Ninety-one de novo acute leukemia patients at our institution between September 2003 and June 2014 were included. Of the 91 patients, eight (8.8 %) and 83 were included in the eICH and non-eICH groups, respectively. Univariate analysis demonstrated that white blood cell (WBC) count (P = 0.018), fibrin-fibrinogen degradation product (FDP) level (P = 0.0075), co-occurrence of WBC ≥50,000/µl and FDP level >40 µg/ml (P < 0.001), and fever (P = 0.248) were all significant predictors of eICH at the 0.25 level. In a subsequent multivariate analysis involving these parameters, only the combination of hyperleukocytosis and elevated FDP levels was found to be significant at the 0.05 level. A significant difference in the duration of the overall survival (OS) period was detected between patients that did and did not exhibit the combination of hyperleukocytosis and elevated FDP levels (P < 0.001). Co-occurrence of hyperleukocytosis and elevated FDP levels is a significant risk factor for eICH in patients with de novo acute leukemia and has a significant adverse affect on OS.
