An open-label, phase II study to assess the efficacy and safety of eltrombopag for the treatment of children and adolescents with Fanconi anemia.
Open-label, phase II study to assess the efficacy and safety of eltrombopag in the treatment of patients diagnosed with Fanconi anemia who have no immediate curative treatment for their bone marrow failure (n=10). The primary objective of this open-label, phase II proof of concept study is to assess the efficacy and safety of using eltrombopag for the treatment of patients with FA before conducting a larger phase II/III study. Specific objectives: * Primary: To assess the efficacy of eltrombopag on hematopoiesis by measuring changes in peripheral platelet, hemoglobin and neutrophil counts. * Secondary: To assess the safety of eltrombopag in patients with Fanconi anemia. If the preliminary efficacy and safety results from the study are positive, we will propose its expansion to a multi-institutional Phase II/III study within the framework of the Spanish Fanconi Anemia Research Network.

Assessing the efficacy of eltrombopag on hematopoiesis
An analysis of the proportion of patients with complete response and/or partial response after 6 months of treatment in the absence of transfusions or rescue therapy will be performed.
Time frame: 6 months
Evaluation of the incidence of clonal evolution
Monitoring of cytogenetic abnormalities or specific mutations related to hematologic malignancies at months 6 and 12 from start of treatment.
Time frame: 6 and 12 months.
Identification and tracking of adverse reactions associated with eltrombopag treatment in patients with Fanconi anemia graded
The CTCAE version 5.0 criteria will be used at 3, 6, 9 and 12 months from start of treatment.
Time frame: 3, 6, 9 ans 12 months.
Determination of the proportion of grafted cells
It will be evaluated in patients seen to have reverted cells, involving either correction of a pathogenic mutation (natural mosaicism) or due to the infusion of hematopoietic stem cells transduced with the lentiviral vector carrying the FANCA gene
Time frame: 12 months
