Background: Stroke remains a devastating complication of sickle cell disease, affecting approximately 8% of children with a peak age of 8 years. 2020 Sep;95(9):E242-E244.doi: 10.1002/ajh.25883. The primary outcome was a hemoglobin level of 9.0 g or more per deciliter or a fetal hemoglobin level of 20% or more after 24 months. It does not work if it is not taken as instructed. It is not endorsed by the Sickle Cell Society and does not form part of our Information Standard-accredited information. Siklos (hydroxyurea) — indicated for the treatment of children 2 and older with sickle cell disease — is now available in 100 mg scored tablets, in addition to the 1,000 mg triple-scored tablet form. Whilst the majority of patients respond well to hydroxyurea, there is a subgroup that appears not to respond. Careers. This paper evaluates HU genotoxicity at dose ≤ 30 mg/kg/day after over 2 years of treatment. Kinney TR, Helms RW, O'Branski EE, Ohene-Frempong K, Wang W, Daeschner C, Vichinsky E, Redding-Lallinger R, Gee B, Platt OS, Ware RE. Improved red blood cell shape on Hydroxyurea. It was used for a wide variety of malignant conditions initially, but it has been used in sickle cell disease now for more than 25 years. Usually, it takes several months before you will see results or get any benefi t from the medicine. Scored tablets make measuring medicine more flexible, giving patients greater control in finding their own optimal dose. In sickle cell anemia, currently, the best medication we have to prevent complications is called hydroxyurea, sometimes abbreviated HU.Hydroxyurea was first developed as a chemotherapy medication in the 1960s. Children received hydroxyurea at a fixed dose (94 children; mean [±SD] age, 4.6±1.0 years) or with dose escalation (93 children; mean age, 4.8±0.9 years); the mean doses were 19.2±1.8 mg per kilogram per day and 29.5±3.6 mg per kilogram per day, respectively. HbF induction usually occurs within the first few months after initiating HU, and is reversible upon cessation or diminution of dosing ( Figure 2 ). Hydroxyurea for sickle cell disease: a systematic review for efficacy and toxicity in children. The majority of patients and parents with children on hydroxyurea report marked clinical benefit with a marked reduction or abolition of symptoms. Children in the dose-escalation group had fewer sickle cell-related adverse events (incidence rate ratio, 0.43; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.34 to 0.54), vaso-occlusive pain crises (incidence rate ratio, 0.43; 95% CI, 0.34 to 0.56), cases of acute chest syndrome or pneumonia (incidence rate ratio, 0.27; 95% CI, 0.11 to 0.56), transfusions (incidence rate ratio, 0.30; 95% CI, 0.20 to 0.43), and hospitalizations (incidence rate ratio, 0.21; 95% CI, 0.13 to 0.34). Laboratory-confirmed dose-limiting toxic effects were similar in the two groups, and there were no cases of severe neutropenia or thrombocytopenia. Would you like email updates of new search results? Specific questions regarding the use of hydroxyurea in children include its impact on growth and development, prevention of chronic organ damage, and its role in stroke. Hydroxyurea has been shown to increase Hb F, haemoglobin and mean corpuscular volume of red cells; it also decreases the white cell count and platelet count and appears to exert a number of other beneficial effects by improving red cell hydration, decreasing cytokine production and red cell adhesion. Crossref. Whilst children have remarkable powers of recovery, significant problems persist. Like all drugs, hydroxyurea can have side effects. Blood. Copyright © 2020 Massachusetts Medical Society. Home » Resources » Hydroxyurea in children with sickle cell, This is a report on external research. Specific questions regarding the use of hydroxyurea in children include its impact on growth and development, prevention of chronic organ damage, and its role in stroke. Participants (ages 6 months through 21 years), recruited from 11 pediatric sickle cell centers across the USA, are randomized to receive hydroxyurea either using a starting dose of 20 mg/kg/day (Standard Arm) or a PK-guided dose (Alternative Arm). Transfusion programmes have been shown to reduce recurrence of neurological events, however transfusion has attendant risks including potential infection transmission, the development of allo-antibodies making subsequent transfusion more difficult, and iron overload.Hydroxyurea has been used in a small number of children as a substitute for transfusion programmes with good effect, also venesection to counteract iron overload has been possible. N Engl J Med. Have Your Say – Help us improve our online content during the coronavirus pandemic. Zimmerman SA, Schultz WH, Davis JS, et al. Background: Hydroxyurea has proven safety, feasibility, and efficacy in children with sickle cell anemia in sub-Saharan Africa, with studies showing a reduced incidence of vaso-occlusive events and reduced mortal… Infection remains a common precipitant of crises and still requires prompt identification and treatment. Hydroxyurea is well tolerated in children with the main short term toxicity being cytopenias, which is generally a fall in the white cell count, in particular neutrophils (neutropenia). 22. It may take weeks or months to achieve maximal haematological parameters but patients often report improvement after only a few weeks of treatment. Opoka RO, Ndugwa CM, Latham TS, Lane A, Hume HA, Kasirye P, Hodges JS, Ware RE, John CC. This led investigators to wonder whether hydroxyurea could be used in patients with other complications of sickle cell disease, other types of sickle cell disease, and children. This site needs JavaScript to work properly. It takes that long to reach the right dose of hydroxyurea. Hydroxyurea (HU) is approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to treat adults with sickle cell anemia. 2021 Jan;109(1):73-81. doi: 10.1002/cpt.2028. Among children with sickle cell anemia in sub-Saharan Africa, hydroxyurea with dose escalation had superior clinical efficacy to that of fixed-dose hydroxyurea, with equivalent safety. © 2017 Sickle Cell Society. doi: 10.1002/14651858.CD002202.pub2. As the Hb F level declines during the first year of life, symptoms are more likely to occur. Infants are generally asymptomatic in the first six months of life due to the presence of large amounts of fetal haemoglobin (Hb F), which interacts with sickle haemoglobin (Hb S) and inhibits sickling. Conclusions: Starting dose- hydroxyurea can be started at a dose of 10 mg/kg orally, on a daily basis. Infections (39.8%)Other infections (22.7%)Bacterial infections (16%)Gastrointestinal disorders (13.1%)Neutropenia (12.6%) The data and safety monitoring board halted the trial when the numbers of clinical events were significantly lower among children receiving escalated dosing than among those receiving a fixed dose. Although hydroxyurea is licensed for use in adults with sickle cell disease in Northern America, concerns about the use of hydroxyurea persist because it is a chemotherapeutic agent that has been used most extensively in leukaemic and pre-leukaemic conditions. Hydroxyurea has been shown to improve quality of life and decrease mortality in patients with sickle cell disease and offers an alternative. In a randomized, double-blind trial, we compared hydroxyurea at a fixed dose (approximately 20 mg per kilogram of body weight per day) with dose escalation (approximately 30 mg per kilogram per day).

Hydroxyurea in Pediatric Patients With Sickle Cell Disease: What Nurses Need to Know Allison L. Rees, MSN, RN1 Abstract Sickle cell disease (SCD) is an inherited disorder in which sickled red blood cells occlude the small vessels of the body, reducing oxygen delivery to tissues and ultimately negatively affecting many of the body’s major organs. In that group of patients, hydroxyurea has been shown to increase the rate of leukaemic transformation, albeit by a small percentage. 8600 Rockville Pike However, there are not many studies describing the disposition of drug in children less than 5 … 2017 Dec 14;130(24):2585-2593. doi: 10.1182/blood-2017-06-788935. Hydroxyurea is available in capsules, and can be formulated into a suspension which is given once daily. The primary objective of the study is to evaluate whether a pharmacokinetics-based starting hydroxyurea dose thieves superior fetal hemoglobin response to to standard weight-based initial dosing. Less obvious abnormalities are present in a further 20% and these together with school absence due to illness not infrequently result in children with sickle cell disease performing less well at school. Hydroxyurea (hydroxycarbamide) for sickle cell disease. A. Sickle cells without Hydroxyurea watch for most of these. Clipboard, Search History, and several other advanced features are temporarily unavailable. To determine hydroxyurea dosing standards for children with sickle cell anemia in sub-Saharan Africa, where access to medical care and routine laboratory monitoring is limited, the investigators conducted an extension study of the Novel Use of Hydroxyurea in an African Region with Malaria study (NOHARM; ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT01976416), which had established the safety … According to results from the NOHARM (Novel use Of Hydroxyurea in an African Region with Malaria) maximum tolerated dose (MTD) trial, dose-escalated hydroxyurea controlled complications associated with sickle cell disease (SCD) more effectively than a lower fixed dose of hydroxyurea in sub-Saharan African children, and both dosing strategies were associated with similar safety. For this study, 187 children with sickle cell anemia living in Uganda received hydroxyurea. Pediatrics. Novel use Of Hydroxyurea in an African Region with Malaria (NOHARM): a trial for children with sickle cell anemia. It has to be borne in mind that sickling can still occur on hydroxyurea; painful crises, acute chest syndrome, splenic sequestration and neurological events have all been reported whilst receiving hydroxyurea. Among children with sickle cell anemia in sub-Saharan Africa, hydroxyurea with dose escalation had superior clinical efficacy to that of fixed-dose hydroxyurea, with equivalent safety. COVID-19 is an emerging, rapidly evolving situation. This has led investigators to suggest that hydroxyurea used in infants might prevent splenic dysfunction and chronic organ damage thus altering the natural history of sickle cell disease. Novel dose escalation to predict treatment with hydroxyurea (NDEPTH): A randomized controlled trial of a dose-prediction equation to determine maximum tolerated dose of hydroxyurea in pediatric sickle cell disease. Results: Hydroxyurea does not cure sickle cell disease. To date available therapies for children with severe sickle cell disease have been transfusion programmes and bone marrow transplantation with their attendant limitations and morbidities. At trial closure, 86% of the children in the dose-escalation group had reached the primary-outcome thresholds, as compared with 37% of the children in the fixed-dose group (P<0.001). Patients with sickle cell disease are at increased risk of infection due to splenic dysfunction and organ damage due to sickling starts in childhood. Some prognostic indicators of disease severity in children that have been identified include dactylitis (painful swelling of hands and/or feet) before the age of one year, a haemoglobin level of less than 7g/dl and a raised white cell count in the absence of infection. Increasingly, hydroxyurea is being used throughout the world in children and at least nine studies have been published in the literature. All rights reserved.
