Essential thrombocythemia (ET) is characterized by enhanced platelet production and thrombotic complications, with the effectiveness of aspirin treatment potentially influenced by platelet count and cytoreductive therapy. Increasing aspirin dosage may reduce variability in treatment response among individuals.
Essential thrombocythemia (ET) is a myeloproliferative neoplasm characterized by enhanced platelet production and thrombotic complications. The inhibition of platelet cyclooxygenase (COX) activity by the standard once-daily aspirin is mostly incomplete due to accelerated thrombopoiesis. The phase II Aspirin Regimens in EsSential thrombocythemia (ARES) trial has recently compared the efficacy of once- vs. twice- or three-times daily low-dose aspirin in inhibiting platelet thromboxane (TX) A(2) production, as reflected by serum (s) TXB2 measurements. The present substudy characterized the determinants of the highly variable response to the standard aspirin 100 mg once-daily regimen in fully compliant patients with ET and the effects of the experimental dosing regimens on response variability. By multivariable analysis, the platelet count (directly) and cytoreductive treatment (inversely) were significantly associated with sTXB(2) values in 218 patients with ET. However, the platelet count positively correlated with sTXB(2) in patients not being treated with cytoreductive drugs (rho = 0.51, P < 0.01, n = 84), but not in patients on cytoreduction. Patients in the lowest sTXB(2) quartile were older, more often on cytoreductive drugs, had lower platelet count and Janus-Associated Kinase2 (JAK2)-V617F allele frequency as compared with patients in the upper sTXB(2) quartiles. After 2 weeks of a twice- or 3-times daily aspirin regimen, the association between the platelet count and sTXB(2) became similar in cytoreduced and non-cytoreduced patients. In conclusion, the platelet count appears the strongest determinant of TXA(2) inhibition by once-daily low-dose aspirin in ET, with different patterns depending of cytoreductive treatment. More frequent aspirin dosing restores adequate platelet inhibition and reduces interindividual variability, independently of cytoreduction.
