Abstract

Oxaliplatin-induced immune thrombocytopenia (OIIT), which is caused by antibodies that target platelets in the presence of oxaliplatin, is a rare complication of repeated oxaliplatin exposure and oxaliplatin desensitization with high morbidity (bleeding with refractory thrombocytopenia, autoimmune hemolytic anemia in certain patients, and even renal failure in patients with thrombotic microangiopathy). We sought to prevent OIIT complications in patients receiving oxaliplatin desensitization through screening selected patients for drug-dependent antibodies prior to the onset of clinical complications.
