Hypereosinophilic syndromes (HES) are a heterogeneous group of rare disorders defined by persistent blood eosinophilia ≥1.5 × 109/L, absence of a secondary cause, and evidence of eosinophil-associated pathology. With the exception of a recent multicenter trial of mepolizumab (anti-IL-5 monoclonal antibody), published therapeutic experience has been restricted to case reports and small case series. The purpose of the study was to collect and summarize baseline demographic, clinical and laboratory characteristics in a large, diverse cohort of patients with HES and to review responses to treatment with conventional and novel therapies. Clinical and laboratory data from 188 patients with HES, seen between January 2001 and December 2006 at eleven institutions in the United States and Europe, were collected retrospectively by chart review. Eighteen of 161 patients (11%) tested were FIP1L1-PDGFRA mutation-positive and 29/168 patients tested (17%) had a demonstrable aberrant or clonal T cell population. Corticosteroid monotherapy induced complete or partial responses at 1 month in 85% (120/141) of patients with most remaining on maintenance doses (median 10 mg prednisone equivalent daily for 2 months-20 years). Hydroxyurea and interferon-alpha (used in 64 and 46 patients, respectively) were also effective, but their use was limited by toxicity. Imatinib (used in 68 patients) was more effective in patients with the FIP1L1-PDGFRA mutation (88%) than in those without (23%; p<0.001). This study, the largest clinical analysis of patients with HES to date, not only provides useful information for clinicians but should stimulate prospective trials to optimize treatment of HES.
