Number Comment Response

We received a comment from the manufacturer of a thrombopoietin receptor agonist medication (Amgen, Inc.) regarding the newly published 2019 guidelines from both the American Society of Hematology and the International Consensus Report. They encourage the use of TPO-RA for second-line management.

Thank you for comments. The recommendations from both the 2019 International consensus guidelines and 2019 American Society of Hematology have been incorporated into the LCD. There is a lack of evidence to support strong recommendations for various management approaches. The coverage criteria in the LCD allows for several second-line treatment options. Shared decision making, with consideration of patient desires and risk and benefits in determining which second-line treatment option is best for each individual patient is encouraged, and documentation of such in the record is required.
