Introduction

    Vincent Ho (VH) started the meeting at 12.21pm. Karen Ballen (KB) introduced Philip McCarthy (PM) as the new incoming chair for the committee replacing KB. Marcelo Pasquini (MCP) acknowledged KB’s contributions as a chair to the RRT committee and presented her with a gift on behalf of the CIBMTR.

    Minutes from the 2009 Tandem meeting in Tampa were accepted and approved by the chairs and

    committee members. 2. Accrual summary: There was no formal presentation of the accrual summary. 3. Presentations, published or submitted papers

    MCP updated the group on studies recently published or presented since the last in person meeting. The RRTWC has 7 studies which are either in press or published, or submitted for publication or currently in manuscript preparation. Marks et al and Baccigalupo et al studies have been published in the BBMT; Schriber et al and Uberti et al are in press in BBMT and BMT respectively; Navarro et al have been submitted to BBMT; Barker and Horan study were each accepted for an oral presentation at the 2009 American Society of Hematology meeting in New Orleans. MP informed that the plan is to submit RT 06-02 (Horan et al) to JAMA and RT 05-02 (Barker et al) to BBMT by June 2010.

    4. Studies in Progress a. RT05-01 Role of Gemtuzumab Ozogamicin in the Development of Hepatic Veno-

    occlusive disease (S Smiley) Protocol Development. VH presented the study on behalf of Shannon Smiley. This study, which was originally proposed as a retrospective study to assess the impact of gentuzumab ozogomycin (GO) on the development of hepatic veno-occlusive disease (VOD) has been changed to a prospective study utilizing a form to capture details on the use of GO and refine data collection on VOD, as per discussion at last year’s meeting. The study is currently in protocol and supplemental data form development phase. VH explained that in the last year we had several discussions about this study and the protocol is currently in draft format. The PI has relocated to a non-BMT position but she remains interested in the study. The delay in moving the study forward is related in finalizing a form that can be incorporated in FormsNet. Since this study was initially proposed many years ago, perhaps this question is no longer relevant, it is possible that the pre transplant use of GO and the incidence of VOD have decreased in the last few years as practices change. The plan is to look at the database on both of these numbers and reassess whether it is worth move this study forward in its current form. The committee was asked to vote on the priority of this study for the next year. Also, committee members will be invited to participate in the writing committee, depending on voting results.

    b. RT06-01 Evaluation of TGF-β1 promoter and signal peptide polymorphisms as risk factors

    for renal dysfunction in hematopoietic transplant patients treated with cyclosporine A (R Shah) Manuscript Preparation. MP updated the group on behalf of the PI. He informed the group that the study has been completed and it is currently in manuscript preparation. The overall message of the study is that there was no association found between TFG-B1 polymorphism and the development of renal insufficiency/failure with cyclosporine exposure. The lack of an effect could be related to the sample size. After typing each individual, the number of patients with homozygous polymorphisms that could be related increase renal toxicity was small. This manuscript is expected to be submitted by June 2010.

    c. RT07-02 Interaction between comorbidities and aging and their combined impact on the

    hematopoietic cell transplantation Outcomes (M Sorror) Data Collection. Mohammed Sorror (MS) presented the status of his study, which is currently in data collection. The main objective is to validate the HCT-comorbidity index (HCT-CI) using data registered with the CIBMTR. MS reviewed the latest demographic tables. Presently, sufficient data have been collected from the pre-TED forms, however additional follow-up is necessary prior we can initiate the analysis. MS explained that with the current CIBMTR data, the total comorbid score calculated for the cohort does not exceed a score of 6, whereas with the Seattle data on the original publication, there were a number of patients with scores greater than 6. MS highlighted that this discrepancy could be due to incorrect reporting of the comorbidities by centers or underscoring of “other comorbidities” in the other specified field on pre-TED. The plan is to identify the source of this discrepancy, by looking at cases reported by Seattle and comparing with cases at Seattle patient database to assess whether this was a reporting bias or other. This will need to be done while waiting for the data to mature with more follow up. Gorgun Akpek (GA) asked if there was an observed difference among patients who received reduced intensity conditioning (RIC) vs. myeloablative conditioning as one would expect more comorbidities in the RIC group, however this was not reflected in the data shown. Another member questioned the accuracy of regimen intensities groups. MP responded that unlike the old forms, the pre-TED form collects data on the intent of the conditioning regimen at transplant, as such the intensity designations are more accurate. The

    5

  • Not for publication or presentation Attachment 1

    plan is to have a minimal of 1 year follow up of all patients in the data set before moving to analysis.

    d. RT08-01 End-stage renal disease in bone marrow transplant recipients (H Trivedi, P Hari, E Cohen) Protocol Development. Parameswaran Hari (PH) presented the study. The main aim of the study is to examine the relative incidence and mortality among patients who developed end stage renal disease after an unrelated donor (URD) transplantation. The study will require matching and merging CIBMTR data with data from the United States Renal Data System (USRDS) before data cleaning and analysis. PH informed the group that a finalized protocol was available and IRB approval has been received for the study. Since there are some costs involved in matching the data from the USRDS, PH mentioned that depending on the costs the study will be delayed in order to secure funds. We now await response from the USRDS before moving to the next step of data file preparation.

    e. RT08-02 The effect of prior splenectomy on myeloid engraftment after myeloablative

    allogeneic stem cell transplantation: An IBMTR analysis (G Akpek) Data file preparation. GA presented the study. The primary outcomes of the study are to evaluate time to engraftment and 100 day non relapse mortality among patients with or without prior splenectomy. He updated the group on the total patient numbers based on the final selection criteria outlined in the finalized protocol. The final population includes a total of 8,329 patients without splenectomy vs. 1236 patients with splenectomy. With a finalized protocol and an established writing committee, the next step is to clean the data file and move on to analysis. The goal for the study is to finalize the analysis and submit an abstract to ASH. Vikas Gupta (VG) asked if there was any information in the database on reason for performing the splenectomy as 16% of the patients with MDS/RA had received a splenectomy. VH explained that although the reason for splenectomy is not listed, we excluded all patients with lymphoma and those transplanted prior to 1999 to keep the population as homogenous as possible. Stephan Ciurea noted that there could be center effect or a difference in procedure as in some centers physicians prefer to have the spleen removed before transplantation. Christopher Bredeson (CB) asked whether is possible to know the size of the spleen to account this in the analysis. PH asked about patient who received splenic radiation as a possible mechanism to abrogate splenic function and treat splenomegaly in patients that cannot undergo splenectomy. These patients were excluded from the study population. KB suggested that if there is enough interest in patients with splenic radiation that could be proposed as a new study to the committee in the future.

    f. RT09-01 Primary graft failure following allogeneic HSCT for treatment of hematological

    malignancies (R Olsson, J Schriber, S Chaudhry, O Ringden) protocol development. Richard Olsson (RO) presented the study on behalf of the other study chairs. This study is a combination of three proposals on graft failure accepted by the committee last year. The primary aim is to evaluate risk factors for primary graft failure among patients with hematologic malignancies after allogeneic transplantation with myeloablative conditioning. Primary graft failure is defined as 2nd transplant by or before day 28 and alive but not engrafted (ANC < 500) by day 28. RO informed that with the study is still under protocol development, the plan is to finalize the protocol by June 2010 and to move on to data file preparation and analysis by June 2011. Willis Navarro (WN) asked about the patients who received BM+PB grafts having a high graft failure rate of ~7% compared to patients who received other graft types. VH responded that this might be reflective of the fact that for these patients enough BM stem cells were not collected and so PB cells were used as a supplement. SA asked if CMV match will be included in the list of variables to be analyzed as a recent publication by Spellman et al showed that CMV is a risk factor for graft failure.

    6

  • Not for publication or presentation Attachment 1

    This variable will be included in the model. One member pointed out that some of the 464 patients who were excluded because of missing ANC recovery data could be graft failure cases and suggested that this data should be requested for from teams and not excluded. The group agreed that this data should be requested for and included in the study. PH asked about the patients who received more than five transplants and suggested to check the disease and whether these are donor cellular infusions. This data will be checked with the teams and cleaned during data file preparation. RO is coming to Milwaukee and will be working on data file preparation in the spring 2010.

    g. RT09-02 Effects of body mass in children with leukemias (R Aplenc, N Bunin) protocol

    development. Nancy Bunin (NB) presented the study. This study was proposed last year and the main aim is to compare leukemia free survival and overall survival after transplantation according to BMI groups in children. The study will also look at the impact of dose adjustment on survival among the different BMI groups. The statistics for the study will be done at the PI’s center. The study is currently in protocol development and the plan is to finalize the protocol by June 2010. One member asked if it would be possible to look at non leukemia pediatric patients who received cy-based regimens. NB responded while this is possible, this has recently been explored and reported in patients with SAA by Barker et al. She also stated that although she can include non leukemia patients, it will increase the heterogeneity of the group as such non malignant diseases have been excluded to keep the population homogenous.

    5. Future/Proposed studies

    a. PROP 1208-30 Comparison of clinical outcomes between myeloablative and RIC for haploidentical stem cell transplantation (S Ciurea.). SC presented his proposal. The main hypothesis is that haploidentical stem cell transplantation using RIC is associated with less treatment related mortality and at least similar outcomes as MA conditioning. Additionally, the study will assess the role of T-cell depletion (TCD) in the setting of haploidentical donor transplants with overall survival as the primary endpoint of the study. This study was proposed last year and although it was well received by the committee it was deferred due to small sample sizes. SC in the last year communicate with other investigators and will be collaborating with Ephraim Fuchs from Johns Hopkins and add 203 patients who received cyclophosphamide a haploidentical donor transplantation. Additionally there are 507 patients who received myeloablative conditioning (MAC)with T-cell depleted haploidentical grafts (TCD), 180 patients who received MAC without TCD, and 99 patients who received reduced intensity conditioning (RIC) for this study. One member asked if ATG will be considered as T-cell depletion. SC responded that ATG was not considered as a TCD method. One member asked how the differences in non myeloablative (NMA) vs. MA conditioning will be accounted for in the analysis as this might be a potential bias in the study. SC explained that we will be comparing approaches among the three groups rather than the actual regimens received.

    b. PROP 0909-01 Survival after second allografting following a myeloablative conditioning in

    patients with relapsed hematologic malignancies: A CIBMTR report (G Akpek) GA presented the proposal. The primary hypothesis, which is based on his own clinical experience, is that a second allo transplant is a feasible approach for treatment of post allogeneic transplant relapse. The study proposal will include patients with AML/ALL, who received RIC in first transplant, relapsed and went on to received MAC at second transplant. One member pointed out that it would be important to try to answer the question about the benefits of RIC after 2nd transplant as well. The group agreed to include subsequent

    7

  • Not for publication or presentation Attachment 1

    transplants with RIC. A suggestion was made to exclude patients transplanted prior to 2000 as patients transplanted in that era will not add any knowledge to what is already known in the field and this new proposal should define a modern era in order for the study to be relevant. The group agreed to consider this suggestion.

    c. PROP 1009-01 C-reactive Protein (CRP) To Predict Non-relapse Mortality after Allogeneic

    Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation (HCT) (A Artz). Arthur Artz (AA) presented his proposal. The main objective is to evaluate the prognostic significance of pre-HCT C-reactive protein (CRP) levels on non relapse mortality and its effects on survival, AGVHD and HCT related toxicity. AA explained that CRP is a readily available biomarker and previous publication of < 100 patients has found CRP to be correlated with post transplant outcome. The study will also attempt to establish an optimal cutpoint for pre-HCT CRP levels that independently predicts NRM. There are currently 497 patient’s ≥18 in the NMDP repository with serum samples that can be tested for CRP presence and included in the study. One member asked why children were not included in the study population. AA explained that although he is open to include children in the study population, he would prefer adults as most CRP data has been generated in adult populations only. One member pointed out that there is sufficient CRP data on pediatric populations outside the transplant field. There was a question on the stability of the tissue samples and the timing of evaluating the samples for CRP when it arrived at the lab. As one member pointed out a delay in evaluating the samples could lead to higher levels CRP released from dying cells, which would interfere with interpretation of the analysis. AA responded that most of published reports that looked at CRP used samples collected in a similar way but this is an interesting consideration. Others suggested looking at other potential biomarkers that are clinically available which would maximize the use of samples collected by the NMDP.

    d. PROP 1009-03 Effect of ATG and TBI on outcomes in patients receiving reduced intensity

    allogeneic transplants (J Hsu) J Hsu (JH) presented his proposal. This study compares clinical outcomes among four groups of patients according to use of total body irradiation (TBI) and anti-thymocyte globulin as part of their conditioning regimen for an allogeneic transplantation. These groups include recipients of TBI vs. ATG vs. both vs. neither. One member requested that patients who received alemtuzumab be included in the study as well. Another member asked if there were enough numbers to evaluate these four groups.

    e. PROP 1209-36 HCT for patients with L-F syndrome (J Schiffman, M Pulshipher). Michael

    Pulsipher (MP) presented the study to the committee. The main hypothesis for the study is to describe the outcomes of patients with Li-Fraumeni syndrome (LFS) after transplantation. Patients with LFS have a higher risk of developing second malignancies which might be a significant problem after transplantation. There were a total of 12 patients identified in the CIBMTR database. It was asked if these cases will be confirmed with the teams. MP informed the group that if the study is approved all of the 12 cases will have to be confirmed by reviewing case reports. LFS is not readily collected on the forms and the presence of 17p deletion was extracted from the acute leukemia forms, which will need to be confirmed if these represent a somatic mutation or limited to the malignant clone. Another member was interested in knowing the average time to develop second malignancies among LFS patients and the median follow-up time for the cohort. MP responded that according to scarce reports LFS patients are might develop second malignancies within 3-5 years from transplantation, The average follow-up of survivors as reported in the CIBMTR database is 12 months, with a range of 3-24 months. Jeff Schriber (JS) pointed out that more follow-up is needed in

    8

  • Not for publication or presentation Attachment 1

    order to determine if LFS patients develop second malignancies more rapidly after transplant.

    f. PROP 1209-47 Assessment of pulmonary complications post transplant in association with

    A1B8DR3 haplotype in allo tx recipients (H Liu, P McCarthy, T Hahn). Hong Liu (HL) presented the proposal. She informed the group that in a study recently presented at ASBMT, patients with A1B8DR3 haplotype were shown to have a decreased disease free survival and overall survival. Additionally, other studies have shown that these patients have a higher incidence of pulmonary complications and bronchitis obliterans. The aim of the proposal is to investigate the incidence of pulmonary complications and its association with the A1B8DR3 haplotype among BM or PB patients with AML, ALL or MDS who received a 10/10 HLA URD match or 6/6 HLA relate donor match between 1999-2007. Patients who received a prior allo tx or auto tx, cord blood and ex vivo t-cell depletion will be excluded from the study. Carolyn Hurley wanted to know what markers will be used to determine which haplotypes carry the three specificities making up A1B8DR3. PM responded that this will be determined using statistics to predict who is likely or unlikely to have A1B8DR3 based on other known haplotypes. Another member asked if there was data on pre-transplant pulmonary toxicity or morbidity. He was informed that the pulmonary toxicity is collected on the CIBMTR form however, that data was not included in the tables for the meeting. Another member raised concern of the linkage of TNF-a polymorphism asked how an independent cause of the haplotype was going to be ruled out of the study.

    g. PROP 1209-48 Pre-transplant risk factors for relapse after RIC allo (F Baron) Frederic

    Baron (FB) presented his proposal. The study proposes to validate the Kahl scoring system which predicts relapse rates among patients. The patient criteria will include allogeneic patients with malignancies who received NMA or RIC conditioning for a first transplant. MS asked for clarification on the definition of relapse which will be used in the study and inquired if the study will be predicting early progression or late relapse. MS and Kenneth Cooke (KC) pointed out that the proposal may not belong in the RRT committee and that it might be better suited for a committee such as late effects working committee.MCP explained to the group that when proposals are submitted, they are triaged to a particular committee and in this case, it came to RRT because it was related to a reduced intensity question and it was not disease specific. He informed the group that although the study is a relapse question the acute leukemia and lymphoma committee were not interested in the study because of other similar studies in that committee. Depending on the priority score we will bring this to proposal to other committee and perhaps this could be merged with other existing studies.

    1.0 OBJECTIVES:

    1.1 Validate the prognostic impacts of the HCT-CI on the HCT outcomes among patients diagnosed with various hematological diseases. 1.1.1 Allogeneic HCT for malignant disease 1.1.2 Allogeneic HCT for non-malignant diseases 1.1.3 Autologous HCT for all diseases

    1.2 Validate the prognostic impacts of the HCT-CI + aging scores on HCT outcomes and

    compare its predictive capacity to that of the HCT-CI alone. 1.3 Stratify outcomes of recipients of nonmyeloablative and myeloablative with hematologic

    malignancies allogeneic HCT using the HCT-CI ± aging scoring systems. 2.0 SCIENTIFIC JUSTIFICATION:

    Comorbidities have been reported to affect chemotherapy dosing, treatment toxicity, survival, and quality of life of patients with cancer. [1,2] The use of comorbidity indices has facilitated the incorporation of comorbidities into decision-making for treatment and clinical trial design.(Reviewed in[3]) The Charlson comorbidity index (CCI) [4] has been the most widely used comorbidity index to predict mortality risks in various diseases and solid malignancies. [5] Allogeneic conventional HCT is considered potentially curative for many patients with hematological malignancies but has been limited to patients without significant comorbidities and who were less than 50 to 65 years of age. [6-13] With the advent of minimally toxic conditioning regimens, the HCT choices have been expanded to include older patients and those with comorbidities. We developed a nonablative regimen, which consists of 2 Gy total body irradiation (TBI) either alone or in combination with fludarabine. [14,15] The regimen largely relies on graft-versus-leukemia effects for tumor cell kill. This nonablative regimen has expanded allogeneic HCT to include elderly and comorbid patients with various hematological malignancies. [16-18] There are continued efforts to evaluate novel approaches in the laboratory to further reduce the intensity of conditioning regimen thereby further minimizing its side effects. As these novel approaches will be introduced in the clinic in the future, it has become important to comprehensively study the comorbidity differences between patient groups, investigate the interactions between comorbidities and aging and their impacts on HCT outcomes and quality of life to help standardize comorbidity assessment for future clinical trials. Several investigators have studied single organ comorbidities as predictors for HCT outcomes. [19-26] None of these has taken into account the impact of different comorbidities or their interaction with age. We began systematic analyses of the roles of comorbidities on HCT outcomes using the CCI as a non-transplantation specific comorbidity index. We applied the CCI to the settings of myeloablative and nonmyeloablative allogeneic HCT in patients with hematological malignancies. We found that an adapted form of the CCI successfully predicted the risks of 1-year NRM in patients given HCT from unrelated [27] or related donors [28]. In a further analysis, we found that the CCI detected comorbidities among only 35% of all HCT patients (12% among myeloablative patients [27]). Therefore, we developed a new index that more specifically addressed comorbidities in HCT patients.

    We refined comorbidity definitions, added newly identified comorbidities, and, evaluated each comorbidity category by Cox regression hazard models in a training set of patients. The HCT-CI was then tested in a randomly-selected validation set of Seattle patients, where 62% of patients had HCT-CI scores of >0 compared with 12% by the original CCI. [29] Overall, the HCT-CI was

    19

  • Not for presentation or publication Attachment 4

    better able to capture comorbidities and to predict NRM than the CCI among HCT recipients. Results were further retrospectively validated among a different patient population diagnosed with a single disease entity, AML in first remission, and transplanted in MD Anderson Cancer Center. [30] The HCT-CI could also be used to efficiently compare the risk-benefit ratios among nonmyeloablative versus myeloablative patients diagnosed with either myeloid[31] or lymphoid malignancies. [32] Our ongoing studies are aimed at understanding the correlation between comorbidities and another important pretransplant factor, age and investigating their joint importance for outcomes. To this purpose, retrospective data are being collected from six academic institutions within the Seattle Consortium, and comorbidities are assessed by a single investigator. The data is being used to develop a new HCT-CI + ageing scoring system, which should further refine risk assessment among transplanted patients with different HCT strategies. The effectiveness of HCT-CI in prediction of HCT outcomes specifically for non-malignant diseases has not been extensively studied. Patients receiving allografts for non-malignant conditions have the potential of having distinct comorbidity profiles specific to their diseases that may or may not affect outcomes in the same manner as malignant patients. The initial HCT-CI study included only 3% of patients with non-malignant diseases[29] and, likewise, other studies evaluating comorbidities and HCT outcomes of non-malignant patients suffered from relatively small sample of patients.[33] Other complexities when studying non-malignant diseases include the wide spectrum of diseases, ranging from marrow failure syndromes to immunodeficiencies and metabolic diseases, and the bias of having a cohort of younger patients at time of transplant. It is of extreme importance to validate these findings in a large cohort of patients, who are prospectively treated and assessed by multiple local investigators. Although combining malignant and non-malignant patients when performing a prospective analysis would increase numbers, the challenges in disease presentations and defining outcomes make it critical to analyze both groups separately. A prospective study of both malignant and non-malignant diseases would ensure the accuracy and the universal application of the HCT-CI ± aging scoring systems in comparing clinical trial outcomes with given treatment modalities obtained at given academic centers to those achieved at others and in assessing the risk-benefit ratios for planned treatments.

    3.0 STUDY POPULATION: The study population will include all patients who received an autologous or allogeneic HCT for a hematological malignant or non malignant disease of any stage, reported to the CIBMTR within a duration of 12 month starting roughly from January 2008. No restrictions for age, degree of host-donor HLA-matching, or type of conditioning regimen, however, patients receiving a cord blood transplant will be excluded. Potential numbers of subjects are given in Table 1.

    4.0 OUTCOMES: Primary Outcomes: 4.1 Impacts of HCT-CI scores on post-HCT outcomes: We will analyze predictive capacity

    of the HCT-CI for non-relapse mortality (NRM) and overall survival separately among recipients of allogeneic and autologous HCT for treatment of malignant diseases. For patients with non-malignant diseases, we will analyze the impact of HCT-CI on overall survival. Stratification by the individual HCT-CI scores as well as the collapsed risk

    20

  • Not for presentation or publication Attachment 4

    groups will be investigated. Events will be summarized by a cumulative incidence and Kaplan Meier survival curves, respectively. The competing risk for non-relapse mortality is relapse for malignant diseases Patients alive (or alive and without relapse) at last observation are considered censored for this event. The independent impacts of the HCT-CI on NRM and overall survival will be tested in multivariate models, after adjustment for other pre-transplant variables, among all patient population. Separate analyses for patients with myeloid and lymphoid malignancies and nonmalignant diseases will be performed. The prognostic ability of these models will be examined at four time points: Day 100, Day 180, Day 365, and Day 730.

    4.2 Effect of the comorbidity-age composite scores on HCT outcomes: We will compare the

    discriminative capacity of the HCT-CI + age composite scores and HCT-CI scores for predicting the previously mentioned HCT outcomes. Assess whether specific outcomes might be better predicted by the composite scoring system.

    Secondary outcomes: 4.3 Comparison of the HCT outcomes between recipients of nonmyeloablative and

    myeloablative allogeneic HCT: The most successful measure from the analysis of the primary outcomes will be used to risk-stratify and compare the outcomes of patients given nonmyeloablative versus myeloablative regimens and separately for the myeloid and lymphoid malignancies.

    5.0 DATA COLLECTION:

    Comorbidity data and HCT-CI scores will be collected prospectively from patients transplanted within one year duration (roughly between January and December 2008) using the new CIBMTR SCTOD forms. Requested data will also include all demographic and pre-transplant data collected on the CIBMTR data collection forms. Follow up data will be collected starting from day 100 (roughly in April 2009) and to be continued at days 180, 365, and 730.

    6.0 VARIABLES TO BE ANALYZED:

    Patient-related variables

    – Age at transplant – Gender: Male vs. female – Race of patient – Karnofsky/Lanksy score at transplant – Pre-transplant comorbidities and HCT-CI score

    Disease-related variables – Disease – Disease status prior to transplant(where applicable) – Interval between diagnosis and HCT – Donor/Recipient CMV sero-status – Cytogenetics (if applicable)

    Transplant-related variables

    – Year of transplant – Type of transplant

    21

  • Not for presentation or publication Attachment 4

    – Conditioning regimen – Type of preparative regimen: ablative vs. non-ablative – Planned sequential transplant or not. – Source of stem cells – Graft manipulation – Number of CD34+ and CD3+ cells – Type of Donor (where applicable) – Donor sex – HLA match status – GVHD prophylaxis

    7.0 STUDY DESIGN:

    Data from the CIBMTR will be used for validation of the impacts of comorbidities ± aging scores on HCT outcomes. Descriptive tables of patient-, disease-, and transplant-related factors will be prepared. These tables will list median and range for continuous variables and percent of total for categorical variables. The product-limit estimator proposed by Kaplan-Meier will be used to estimate the median and range of the follow-up time. Inter-rater reliability rates will be evaluated and reported as part of the study. This evaluation will compare a sample of patients whose HCT-CI were calculated using data reported to the CIBMTR and compared to an independent review of each patient by a physician. The reviewer will be blinded to the score assigned using the CIBMTR data. One hundred patients from at least two transplant centers will be randomly selected for this comparison. The degree of agreement between evaluations will be analyzed using kappa statistics. Cumulative incidence or Kaplan-Meier curves will be calculated for incidences of NRM and overall survival. Analyses of survival and NRM incidences will be done using the Cox regression model. Relapse will be treated as a competing risk for NRM, and vice versa. The relationship between comorbidity scores and HCT outcomes will be examined using Cox regression. The prognostic discriminatory capacity of the HCT-CI as compared to a composite score incorporating age will be assessed by comparing the Brier scores [29] of the two models at each of the four time points of interest.

    1.0 HYPOTHESIS: Haploidentical stem cell transplantation using reduced-intensity conditioning (RIC) is associated with less treatment-related mortality (TRM) and at least similar outcomes as myeloablative (MA) conditioning.

    2.0 SPECIFIC AIMS:

    2.1 To describe the outcomes of patients with hematologic malignancies (myeloid and

    lymphoid) treated with haploidentical stem cell transplantation (≥ 2 antigens mismatch), and identify variables associated with improved survival. Outcomes to be evaluated include: transplant-related mortality (TRM), relapse rate (RR), disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS).

    2.2 To compare the outcomes of patients treated with a T-cell depleted as compared with a T-cell replete haploidentical graft.

    2.3 To determine whether RIC is associated with reduced toxicity and overall at least as effective as MA conditioning for haploidentical stem cell transplantation.

    2.4 Assess the impact of the number of HLA mismatches on outcomes (Engraftment, TRM, RR, DFS, OS)

    2.5 Evaluate outcomes (TRM, RR, OS, DFS) based on predictive NK cell alloreactivity 2.6 Compare the outcomes for patients who received peripheral blood vs. bone marrow 2.7 Assess the impact of lymphocyte recovery (ALC to 1000/µL) on outcomes (TRM, RR,

    OS, DFS) 3.0 BACKGROUND:

    Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation is an effective treatment for advanced hematologic malignancies, both myeloid and lymphoid. An HLA-identical donor is preferred; however a matched sibling or unrelated donor is unavailable for many patients. Mismatched relatives represent a potential donor source of stem cells for such patients, and virtually all patients will have an available haploidentical donor. Historically, haploidentical stem cell transplantation has been limited by the high rates of graft rejection and acute graft-versus-host disease (aGVHD). T-cell depletion decreased the rate of GVHD at the expense of a higher risk of rejection and, in some settings, a reduced graft-versus-leukemia effect with an increased relapse rate and severe infections. Reisner and colleagues reported that “megadoses” of purified CD34+ cells administered with a T-cell depleted graft can overcome major HLA incompatibility and achieve an acceptable rate of engraftment. Aversa et al. demonstrated the feasibility of using high doses of CD34+ cells in patients undergoing myeloablative HaploSCT and concluded that the optimal composition of the haploidentical graft should contain more than 10x106 CD34+ cells/kg and less than 5x104 CD3+ cells/kg body weight. T-cell replete haploidentical transplantation with the use of post transplant high-dose cyclophosphamide for GVHD prophylaxis has been explored by researchers from Johns Hopkins Sidney Kimmel Comprehensive Cancer Center. Early clinical studies form this group and the group from Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center, indicate favorable outcomes at least for patients with lymphoma. Most studies have used a myeloablative, total body irradiation-based preparative regimens for haploidentical transplants. We and others were concerned about the severe toxicity in this setting with a high rate of transplant-related mortality, particularly in adult patients. A recent review identified median non-relapse mortality (NRM) of approximately 50% in haploidentical stem cell

    transplant patients treated with myeloablative conditioning. For the purpose of this study MA conditioning is defined as TBI > 6 Gy, Busulfan > 8mg/kg or Melphalan > 140mg/m2. Reduced-intensity preparative regimens have been developed to decrease regimen-related toxicities and allow treatment of older or patients with concurrent medical conditions. The experience with such regimens for haploidentical transplantation, where a more profound immune suppression is required to prevent rejection, has been limited. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the outcomes of RIC preparative regimens for haploidentical stem cell transplantation and to compare these with outcomes of patients treated with MA conditioning in this setting.

    4.0 SIGNIFICANCE:

    This proposal relates to the Bone Marrow Transplantation Cancer Center Program Area goal of improving the efficacy and safety of marrow and stem cell transplantation. This study aims to improve the outcome of patients receiving haploidentical transplants by utilizing data collected by the IBMTR. The large database of the IBMTR will allow estimation of transplant outcomes in these patients with much greater precision than currently available. Additionally, transplant-related complications contributing to morbidity and mortality, commoner in this group of patients, will be identified. Analysis of prognostic factors will likely identify patients most likely to benefit from different types of haploidentical transplantation. The ability to compare diverse transplant strategies should identify those regimens with the highest likelihood of success for certain diseases.

    5.0 ANALYSIS PLAN:

    Eligibility Criteria: This study will include patients with hematologic malignancies who received a haploidentical stem cell transplant from a related donor with ≥ 2 antigen mismatch and reported to the IBMTR. Study period: January 1st 1990 to December 31st 2007.

    6.0 ENDPOINTS:

    The primary endpoints of these analyses are:

    – Hematopoietic recovery:

    – Time to neutrophil engraftment - ANC > 0.5 x 109/L for three consecutive days will be the primary measure for comparisons of hematopoietic recovery.

    – Time to platelet engraftment - platelet count ≥ 20 x 109/L – Time to platelet count ≥ 100 x 109/L

    – Incidence of acute and chronic GVHD: grade II-IV acute GVHD and limited and extensive chronic GVHD.

    – Treatment-related mortality: time to death without evidence of disease recurrence. Patients are censored at time of relapse or at last follow-up.

    – Disease recurrence: time to onset of disease relapse. Patients will be censored at death in continuous CR or, for patients surviving in continuous complete remission, at the last contact.

    – Disease free survival: time to treatment failure (death or relapse). Patients are censored at time of last follow-up.

    – Overall survival: time to death. Patients are censored at time of last follow-up.

    8.0 STATISTICAL METHODS: Descriptive tables of patient, disease and transplant characteristics will be created. Continuous variables will be reported as medians with ranges, while categorical variables will be reported as absolute numbers and percent of total patients. Whenever applicable, univariate comparisons will be done using Chi-square test for categorical variables and Wilcoxon test for continuous variables. Survival curves for overall survival and leukemia –free survival will be calculated for all patients using the Kaplan-Meier estimator and the variance estimated by Greenwood’s formula. Cumulative incidence rates for leukemia recurrence and transplant-related mortality will be calculated and plotted. The data will be analyzed using Cox proportional hazards models. This method shall build a single model for the outcome of interest as dependent variable and all the relevant exposure variables as adjusting variables. The main effect term for specific aim shall be forced into each model. This will include a term delineating an appropriate cut-off point for duration of remission after first transplant. The proportional hazards assumption for all the variables will be examined using time-varying covariate and graphical approaches. Constructions of stratified proportional variables are identifies. First order interactions between main effect term and other confounding variables will be explored. If this interaction term is significant, then the final model will have an interaction term between the factor and the main effect term and separate inferences about the effect the comparing groups will be made for each level of the confounding factor. The final model constructed by this technique will include all the factors found prognostic of the outcome plus a term for the main effects of interest. The proportional hazards assumption will again be examined and adjustments made for non-proportional hazards as necessary. Due to a considerable number of confounding variables entered in the model, a p value of < 0.01 would be considered significant for any confounder. Likewise, this p-value would be retained in determining significant interaction between main effect term and a significant confounder found. Due to the multi-center nature of the data, test for significant center differences will be tested using random effects of probability models. Analyses will be performed using the procedure PHREG, SAS statistical software program.
