Thrombopoietin receptor agonists (TPO-RA) are currently indicated for the treatment of chronic immune thrombocytopenia and relapsed refractory aplastic anemia. However, the off-label use of these drugs is more and more frequent, including in the setting of aplasia secondary to chemotherapy and hemopoietic stem cell transplant (SCT). Growing evidence suggests that mechanisms of action of TPO-RA go beyond the TPO-receptor stimulation and point at the immunomodulating properties of these drugs. Here, we present a case of prolonged bone marrow aplasia secondary to autologous SCT treated with eltrombopag. We describe the clinical efficacy and the immunomodulating effect of this drug on inflammatory cytokine profile and bone marrow histology. Furthermore, we provide a review of the most recent literature highlighting the efficacy and safety of TPO-RA after SCT and chemotherapy for hematologic conditions.
