Alpha Thalassemia Overview
Alpha thalassemia is a genetic blood disorder resulting from mutations in the HBA1 and HBA2 genes on chromosome 16, which are responsible for producing alpha-globin chains in hemoglobin. These mutations lead to a partial or complete deficiency of alpha-globin, disrupting hemoglobin synthesis and causing ineffective erythropoiesis and increased red blood cell destruction (hemolysis). The severity of the condition depends on the number of affected alleles, ranging from mild anemia in alpha thalassemia minor to more severe forms such as hemoglobin H disease and hydrops fetalis, the latter being life-threatening. Common symptoms include anemia, fatigue, pallor, splenomegaly, and, in severe cases, organ damage. Alpha thalassemia is most prevalent in malaria-endemic regions, such as Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and Sub-Saharan Africa, where its persistence is linked to a protective advantage against malaria.

Hemoglobin H forms when an individual inherits only one functional alpha-globin gene, leading to significantly impaired alpha-globin production. In newborns, this results in an excess of gamma-globin chains, while in adults, surplus beta-globin chains form. Unlike insoluble alpha-globin chains, both gamma and beta-globin chains are soluble and capable of forming homotetramers-hemoglobin H (four beta chains) and Hb Barts (four gamma chains). Despite their ability to form, these hemoglobins are unstable, and some precipitate within red blood cells, contributing to various clinical complications.

Hemoglobin H disease is characterized by chronic hypochromic microcytic anemia and hemolytic anemia, with symptoms worsening during oxidative stress. The condition arises from both ineffective erythropoiesis, due to reduced alpha-chain synthesis, and increased hemolysis. Additionally, hyperhydration of red blood cells, potentially due to the early cessation of the K-Cl cotransporter, contributes to the microcytic hypochromic anemia. Red blood cell lifespan in individuals with Hemoglobin H disease is significantly reduced to approximately 12-19 days, compared to the normal 28-37 days. This shortened lifespan is primarily due to an abnormal membrane structure, leading to increased rigidity, and the presence of inclusion bodies-aggregates of beta-chain tetramers that precipitate within red blood cells, causing cellular damage.

Alpha thalassemia traits are believed to provide a survival advantage against malaria, explaining their high prevalence in malaria-endemic regions, where up to 90% of the population may carry the trait. Hemoglobin H disease is most common in populations living in warm climates with a high incidence of malaria, particularly in Southeast Asia, the Mediterranean, and the Middle East. Additionally, Hemoglobin Constant Spring, a common non-deletion variant of alpha thalassemia, is prevalent in specific populations, affecting approximately 1% to 2% of individuals in northeastern Thailand, 5% to 8% in southern China, and nearly one-quarter of women in some ethnic minority groups in Vietnam.

Alpha Thalassemia Treatment Analysis: Drug Profile
Mitapivat: Agios Pharmaceuticals, Inc.
Mitapivat (AG-348) is a first-in-class oral, small-molecule, allosteric activator of the red blood cell (RBC)-specific form of pyruvate kinase (PK-R), which has shown efficacy and safety and has received US approval for the treatment of anemia in adults with PK deficiency. In thalassemia mouse models, it reduced markers of ineffective erythropoiesis and improved anemia. Currently, the drug is in Preregistration stage of its clinical trial for the treatment of Alpha Thalassemia.

Luspatercept: Bristol-Myers Squibb
Luspatercept is a recombinant fusion protein that acts as an erythroid maturation agent, showing significant potential in the treatment of alpha thalassemia, particularly in patients with hemoglobin H disease. Its mechanism of action involves binding to specific ligands of the transforming growth factor-beta superfamily, thereby inhibiting the downstream Smad2/3 signaling pathway, which is often overactivated in conditions characterized by ineffective erythropoiesis. By blocking this signaling pathway, luspatercept promotes late-stage erythroid differentiation and maturation, enhancing the production of functional red blood cells. Currently, the drug is in Phase II stage of its clinical trial for the treatment of Alpha Thalassemia.
