Abstract
Fanconi anemia (FA) is a rare inherited disorder characterized by progressive bone marrow failure (BMF) and a predisposition to malignancy. Systemic reactive-oxygen species (ROS) and increased sensitivity of FA hematopoietic progenitors to ROS play a key role in the pathogenesis of BMF. Treatment with antioxidants improve hematopoietic function in Fancc-/- mice. We report the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics (PK) of quercetin, a naturally occurring antioxidant in the first dose-finding Phase 1 study in patients with FA. Twelve patients (median age 7 years, range: 3-21) received oral quercetin twice daily for 4 months. Quercetin was well tolerated at all dose levels. Allometrically bodyweight-adjusted dose with a maximum adult daily dose of 4000mg/day was established as the recommended dose of quercetin. Patients in an expansion cohort (n=18) were treated using this recommended dose for 6 months. A subset of patients showed reduced ROS levels in the peripheral blood and bone marrow stem cell compartment. Patients in the analysis cohort treated with the recommended dose of quercetin achieved an a priori defined optimal response of 25% reduction in the peripheral blood (PB) ROS level compared to baseline. Platelet counts remained stable to slightly improved over the study period (p=0.06). Absolute neutrophil counts (p=0.01) and hemoglobin levels gradually declined (p=0.001). In those with evidence of BMF at baseline, 8 out of 15 patients (53%) had a hematological response at some point following quercetin treatment. Fluctuations in counts are common in patients with FA limiting accurate assessment of the impact of quercetin use in FA. NCT# 01720147.
期刊介绍：
Blood Advances, a semimonthly medical journal published by the American Society of Hematology, marks the first addition to the Blood family in 70 years. This peer-reviewed, online-only, open-access journal was launched under the leadership of founding editor-in-chief Robert Negrin, MD, from Stanford University Medical Center in Stanford, CA, with its inaugural issue released on November 29, 2016.
Blood Advances serves as an international platform for original articles detailing basic laboratory, translational, and clinical investigations in hematology. The journal comprehensively covers all aspects of hematology, including disorders of leukocytes (both benign and malignant), erythrocytes, platelets, hemostatic mechanisms, vascular biology, immunology, and hematologic oncology. Each article undergoes a rigorous peer-review process, with selection based on the originality of the findings, the high quality of the work presented, and the clarity of the presentation.
