Introduction of Leadership Team and New Co-Chair – Yoshiko Atsuta, MD. Mahmoud Aljurf led the introductions. Phil Rowlings was presented with a gift of appreciation from the CIBMTR as outgoing chair and Yoshiko Atsuta was introduced as incoming chair.

Minutes of February, 2010 meeting Minutes were approved.

2. Accrual summary

KAS noted that the attached accrual summaries are update from the 2010 meeting with an additional year added.

3. Presentations, published or submitted papers

a. David Gomez-Almaguer introduced these talks. Trends of Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation in the Eastern Mediterranean Region, 1984-2007 – Syed Zaidi, MD. Dr. Zaidi reported on the transplant center activity in the EMR over the last 22 years. First reported formally in 2008 for indications of transplant from 9 countries with 15/17 teams responding on ~ 8000 transplants. Transplant activities increased every year. For the 1st indication, the majority of transplants were for acute leukemia. He noted some regional disparities including economic factors, team density/distribution and local factors. He then showed a comparison with EBMT 2007 activity.

b. Global Survey Update – Helen Baldomero. Helen presented data from the 2008 Global Survey of Transplant performed by the EBMT. No outcome data. There is an updated version of the data published in JAMA last year. 70 countries and 1402 teams based on 4 continental regions instead of the 6 WHO regions. This data will be presented in it’s entirety at WBMT meeting on Sunday. The data indicate that there are 3 main factors for transplant rates in different countries: available resources, government support for the health system, and access to the transplant centers. She noted that some countries are missing data and some have underreported. The number of reported transplants has increased since 2006.

4. Studies in Progress

a. IS08-01: Transplant Activity Survey in the Americas (Pasquini): Data Collection Marcelo Pasquini presented results of this survey to date concerning transplants in 2007 and 2008 in the Americas. This study is being performed utilizing the activity survey developed by the EBMT (Gratwohl et al) and is also part of the larger Global Activity project from WBMT, which reports on global transplant activity and trends. The data presented was compiled from data reported to the CIBMTR plus responses from the activity survey from the region. The responses on the survey were disappointing from countries in Latin America, except from Brazil which the transplant society was able to compile data from 80% of transplant performed during the period. The committee suggested presenting the data separately for Latin America since the number of transplants in the US is much larger. Another suggestion from the committee was to present the data separate for pediatrics and adults. This activity report represents center and not individual patient data, and demographic separation cannot be easily done, but this distinction will be able to be done in the IS09-02 study that was also presented later to the committee.

b. IS09-01/MM08-04: Outcome of Autologous Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation (HCT) In

Patients with Multiple Myeloma, Comparison of Patients from North versus South America (Wirk/Milone): This study has the objective of describing transplant practices for treatment of multiple myeloma between Latin America and US. The final protocol still needs to be completed and supplemental data from Latin America is needed, as autologous transplant reporting remains voluntary and it is unclear the proportion of patients captured in the CIBMTR.

c. IS09-02 SAA: An International Comparative Study (Kumar): Dr. Kumar presented the data

collection. This study has the objective of comparing effectiveness of graft source for outcomes of aplastic anemia across different regions in terms of economic status. Patients from high and upper income regions are predominately (> 80%) use BM, while low income countries may utilize peripheral blood progenitor cell graft in order to decrease the incidence of graft failure. The reason for this shift in graft preference is related to high prevalence of overly transfused patients who were exposed to blood products that were not leukodepleted. The major problem with this study has been the underrepresentation of cases from countries in the low and middle income, and the few number of centers in European countries. One idea was to request data from EBMT and the Japanese BMT Society to enrich data from these countries. However this approach may delay this study further. The committee requested that we look at the data currently available and consider ways to move it forward.

d. IS09-03 HCT: The Global Trends in Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation (Eckrich/Rodriguez): Michael Eckrich presented the history of Latin American participation in the registry from 1981 to 2009. He showed the year each country first reported to the CIBMTR and the decades that the countries reported. He presented data for allo and auto transplants by indication also including data on CB transplants. Slides were shown for adults and pediatrics and for transplants reported in the last 5 years by country. Plans include finalizing the dataset, review with writing committee and draft the manuscript.

e. IS10-01: Outcomes of HCT for ALL and AML: An International Comparative Analysis

(Wood): Marcelo Pasquini presented for Dr. Wood. The final protocol is not yet complete. Dr. Wood wanted to look at regional differences in transplants for ALL and AML with main focus on differences in transplant practices for these two major indications and evaluate outcomes according to region. Again the committee suggested reaching out to the EBMT and the Japanese registry to expand the dataset for a more comprehensive study. Next step is to finalize the protocol.

f. IS10-02: TBI prior to HCT: A pattern of care study (Barker): Marcelo Pasquini presented for

Dr. Baker. Activity of TBI by different regions was depicted in the tables in the attachment. We will finalize the protocol by June.

RE: Studies in Progress Summary

IS08-01: Hematopoietic Cell Transplantations Activity Survey in the Americas: WBMT Global Survey (W. Bujan/M Pasquini): The objectives of this study are 1) to compile a comprehensive directory of all institutions performing allogeneic, syngeneic or autologous hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) in North, Central and South America, and 2) to compile an annual transplant activity survey in all countries on the American continents and combine the data with transplant activity data from other regions for the WBMT World Transplant Activity Survey. The current status is manuscript preparation. IS09-04: Progress of HCT in Latin America (L Rodrigues, C Bonfim, M Eckrich): The main aim of the study is to analyze the development of pediatric HSCT activity, that is, in recipients <18 years of age, in Latin American countries up to the end of 2008. The second aim is to separately analyze the risk factors for transplantation-related mortality for auto- or allo-HSCT, taking into account patient, disease and transplant-related factors and center effect, which are all associated with the outcomes. The current status is manuscript preparation. IS10-02: Total body irradiation prior to hematopoietic stem cell transplantation: a pattern of care study (C Barker): The objective of this study is to summarize the use of total body irradiation (TBI) as part of hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) over time, for different diseases/disorders and types of HSCT, at different centers, for different aged patients, across the world, at institutions affiliated with the CIBMTR. A secondary objective will be to analyze parameters of the situations when TBI is used, in order to determine when TBI is most commonly used during HSCT. The current status is manuscript preparation. IS09-01: Outcome of autologous hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) in patients with multiple Myeloma: a comparison of patients from North versus South America (G Milone/ Wirk): The aim of this study is to describe the outcomes of autologous hematopoietic cell transplantation (AHPCT) in patients with multiple myeloma in North and South America. Data from Latin America are incomplete and will need additional post-transplant information before proceeding to analysis. IS09-02: Outcome comparison of the effect of HLA-matched sibling donor transplantation for severe Aplastic anemia across different regions (R Kumar): The aim of this study is to describe and compare clinical outcomes of transplants for severe aplastic anemia by graft source and region. The biggest hurdle is the lack of representativeness of CIBMTR data from certain countries. Additional data from the EBMT and the Japanese Registry are being requested in order to improve the analysis. Protocol development is underway. IS10-01: Outcomes of stem cell transplantation for ALL and AML: an international comparative analysis (W Wood): This study proposes to determine whether overall survival and non-relapse mortality at 1-year following myeloablative transplantation for AML and ALL varies internationally by country-level health and economic status or by geographic region. A second objective is to describe the timing of myeloablative transplantation for ALL or AML (CR1, CR2 or other) by country-level health and economic status. Protocol development is underway.

1.0 OBJECTIVES: To analyze the outcomes of autologous HCT (first and tandem) in multiple myeloma patients in North versus South America. The primary endpoints of the study will be to compare the response rate, transplant related mortality, progression free survival, and overall survival in each group. The secondary endpoints will be a comparison of survival by age ( 40 years or less, 41-65 years, >65 years), by time of diagnosis (1995-2003, or 2004-2009), with or without use of novel agents (thalidomide, lenalidomide, bortezomib), according to response to induction treatment, and by use of either upfront or delayed autologous stem cell transplantation.

2.0 SCIENTIFIC JUSTIFICATION:

Over the past 20 years, HCT use has rapidly increased.1 The most frequent indication worldwide for autologous HCT is multiple myeloma.1 Autologous HCT has become the standard of care for multiple myeloma providing a better complete remission rate, event free survival and overall survival than chemotherapy.2 The increasing use of autologous HCT and the introduction of novel therapeutic agents such as thalidomide and bortezomib, have improved the survival of multiple myeloma patients.3 A specialized infrastructure is required to perform hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. HCT is no longer only available to affluent countries.4 For example, HCT represents the most cost effective therapy for chronic myelogenous leukemia in some countries.4 A matched sibling donor HCT is often the most cost effective therapy for severe aplastic anemia, severe combined immunodeficiency and thalassemia since there is no need for induction or consolidation therapy.5 There is a paucity of data on the clinical disease features of multiple myeloma in South America and survival outcomes after autologous stem cell transplantation. An analysis of the trends in the use and outcomes of autologous HCT for multiple myeloma in different countries in North America and South America would be essential for national health care agencies to plan for the infrastructure in their respective countries and thereby improve the survival of these patients.

3.0 STUDY POPULATION:

All patients 18 years or older with multiple myeloma who underwent autologous stem cell transplantation (first and tandem) between 1995 and 2009 in North America versus South America. The following variables will be analyzed for each group.

4.0 OUTCOMES: ­ Response rate: to be assessed at 100 days and at 1 year. ­ Best response post transplant: defined by EBMT-IBMTR criteria. ­ Transplant related mortality: time from the transplant to death occurring in continuous

complete remission, partial response, minimal response or stable disease. This event is summarized by the cumulative incidence estimated with disease progression as the competing risk.

­ Relapse/progression: reappearance of disease for patients with complete remission; evidence of progressive disease after stable disease, minimal response or partial response. This event is summarized by the cumulative incidence estimate with treatment-related mortality as the competing risk.

­ Progression free survival: time from transplant to death, disease progression, or relapse after complete response. Patients who are alive and in continuous complete remission, partial response, minimal response or stable disease are censored at the time of last contact.

6.0 DATA COLLECTION:

All data requested will be provided by existing data collection forms and no supplemental data will be required. Follow up will be complete by the end of 2010.

7.0 STUDY DESIGN:

Fisher’s exact test will be applied to assess associations between categorical variables. Overall survival will be estimated by the Kaplan-Meier method. A log rank test will be used to compare overall survival. The Cox proportional hazard model will be used for multivariate analysis. Statistical significance will be defined as p< 0.05. For this analysis, patients will be divided into two groups, those from North America and from South America. In each group, patients will be subdivided into those diagnosed between 1995 and 2003 and those diagnosed since 2004 since the use of novel agents such as thalidomide and bortezomib occurred thereafter. In addition patients will be analyzed according to three age strata: 40 years or less, 41-65, or >65 years since this is the upper age limit for autologous stem cell transplant in many South American countries. The cutoff of 40 years will be used to compare the treatment outcomes and disease characteristics of younger patients with multiple myeloma with older patients.

1.0 HYPOTHESES:

Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is recommended as curative therapy for eligible patients with severe aplastic anemia (SAA). Older studies showed a high risk of graft failure in patients who had received multiple transfusions pre-transplant, with a superior outcome in patients receiving higher marrow dose and buffy coat infusions. More recent data suggests worse outcome and more chronic GVHD in young patients receiving peripheral blood stem cells (PBSC) compared to those receiving bone marrow (BM) as the graft source in HLA-matched sibling transplant. This data is predominantly from North American and European centers. Based on limited studies from Asian and African countries, we hypothesize that these recommendations may not be valid in regions with limited resources where most patients with SAA undergoing HSCT are at high risk of graft failure and early complications of transplantation..

2.0 OBJECTIVES:

To compare the following clinical outcomes between patients undergoing HLA-identical sibling HSCT by economic regions:

Overall Survival (OS) 100-day mortality Acute GVHD Chronic GVHD Primary Graft Failure Secondary Graft Failure

3.0 SCIENTIFIC JUSTIFICATION:

A recent analysis of the outcome of 692 HLA-matched sibling transplants for SAA performed from 1995 to 2003, concluded that use of peripheral blood stem cells (PBSC) resulted in a worse outcome and more chronic GVHD in patients younger than 20 years. (1) In older patients, overall survival was lower with PBSC, though not statistically significant. Earlier series reported that rates of marrow graft rejection were as high as 30%-60% in SAA (2) with associated high mortality. Subsequent studies have shown declining rates of rejection. Graft failure was 11% in 625 patients transplanted from 1978 to 1986. (3) Factors responsible for graft failure include sensitization by previous blood transfusions, low marrow cell dose and T-cell depleted grafts. (2,4) Risk factors associated with decreased survival include 20 or more pretransplant transfusions, infections pre-transplant, and interval between diagnosis and transplant of more than 1 month. (5) To overcome the high rates of graft failure, addition of buffy coat cell infusions to the bone marrow dose reduced rejection and increased survival.(2) The cell dose can also be increased by using G-CSF mobilized PBSC instead of BM. (4) Recent literature suggests that cell dose or co-administration of donor buffy coat cells no longer affected the probability of engraftment or treatment failure. (3,5) This change likely reflects improved supportive care and earlier transplants.

In developing countries, most of the risk factors for poor survival are still present and blood products are often not leucodepleted. (6,7) Although the incidence of aplastic anemia is 2-3 times higher in Asia (8), there are very few publications on the outcomes of HSCT from these countries. In one Centre at Vellore, India, graft source was PBSC in 28 and G-CSF stimulated BM in 7 with a survival of 82.8% at a median follow-up of 22 months.(6) Another centre in Delhi reported 18 transplants in 17 patients, using PBSC in 15 and BM in 3 with an overall survival of 77.7% at a median follow-up of 15 months.(7) In both these centers use of PBSC was not associated with increased risk of GVHD, although long-term survival data is lacking. (6,9). Both centers used a fludarabine based regimen. In Egypt the HSCT program is using PBSC exclusively and in aplastic anemia the disease free survival in 62 cases was 82% with a median follow-up of 2 years using a fludarabine/cyclophosphamide conditioning. (10) Another report from Pakistan showed an overall survival of 78% in aplastic anemia using predominantly PBSC in one center and BM in two centres. Despite use of PBSC at one centre, extensive chronic GVHD was seen in only 4% cases. (11)

The risk of chronic GVHD may vary in populations. In a study of different ethnic populations

undergoing BMT for leukemias, the white Americans, African Americans and Irish cohorts were at significantly higher risk for acute GVHD than the Japanese or Scandinavian cohorts. (12) It is postulated that more homogeneous populations may have smaller repertoires of minor histocompatibility antigens and certain HLA alleles are associated with decreased risk for GVHD. (12)

In developing countries any risk benefit analysis of transplant needs to include the fact that graft

failure usually ends in fatality as resources to support such patients are limited. Also, transfusion support and resources to manage prolonged neutropenia are a greater issue. The rationale for using PBSC over bone marrow are: (a) faster engraftment (b) higher progenitor and T cell dose with lower risk of graft rejection (c) rapid immunologic recovery (d) lower blood component and antimicrobial requirement (e) less hospitalization costs. These advantages seem to outweigh the higher risk of chronic GVHD in certain regions. There may also be differences in severity of GVHD in different ethnic groups.

The majority of HSCT are performed in countries with advanced health facilities. Thus any analysis of pooled data from international registries will predominantly reflect the outcome in advanced countries. It is therefore important to compare the results of BM versus PBSC in transplants performed in the same region. The best analysis would be if regions were classified on basis of both geographic and economic basis as per WHO criteria. If outcome of HSCT with PBSC is not inferior to BM in developing countries, PBSC may be an equivalent or better source of stem cells for HSCT in SAA in countries with limited resources.

4.0 STUDY POPULATION:

This study will include patients who have undergone their first HSCT from HLA-matched sibling for SAA with bone marrow or peripheral blood grafts from 1995-2007. Data fwill be analyzed based on World Bank economic classifications.

5.0 OUTCOMES:

Overall Survival: Time to death from any cause. Patients are censored at last follow-up. 100-day mortality: Death on or before 100 days post transplant. Acute GVHD: Acute GVHD will be coded as absent (none or grade 1) versus present

(grade 2 or greater) based on the CIBMTR grading system. The event is summarized by the cumulative incidence estimate with death or 2nd transplant as a competing risk.

Chronic GVHD: chronic GVHD will be coded as absent (none or limited) versus present (extensive). The event is summarized by the cumulative incidence estimate with death or 2nd transplant as a competing risk.

Primary Graft Failure: failure to achieve an ANC > 0.5 x 109/L for 3 consecutive days. Secondary Graft Failure: sustained decline in ANC after initial engraftment.

6.0 VARIABLES TO BE DESCRIBED: Data will include the following main effect: - World Bank Economic Classification: US and Canada vs All other High Income Countries vs

all Upper Middle, Lower Middle, Low Income Countries

Patient- and- donor related: - Age at transplant: by decades - Gender: male vs. female - Performance score: 90-100 vs. lower than 90 - CMV Status: -/- vs. all others - Country

Transplant-related: - Graft type: BM vs. PBSC - Year of transplant: 1995-1997 vs. 1998-2000 vs. 2001-2003 vs. 2004-2007 or as

dictated by the analysis - Preparative regimen: Cy+ATG±other drugs vs. other - GVHD prophylaxis: CsA or FK506 + MTX vs other

7.0 STUDY DESIGN:

This is a study of allogeneic HSCT in SAA with matched sibling donors, comparing the outcomes across different regions defined by the World Bank according to their economic status. Medians and ranges will be tabulated for continuous demographic variables and percentages for categorical demographic variables.

Acute and chronic GVHD will be described using cumulative incidence estimates with 2nd

transplant or death as the competing risks.

The probability of overall survival will be calculated using the Kaplan-Meier method. Death from any cause will be considered an event and surviving patients will be censored at last follow-up. The 95% confidence interval (CI) will be calculated using log transformation. Cox proportional hazards regression models will be constructed with economic status classification as the main effect. Variables considered will be as shown above.

1.0. SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES:

Determine the amount of variation in the following patient, disease, and transplant related

characteristics for patients transplanted for AML and ALL, by geographic grouping: Timing of transplantation (time since diagnosis, CR1 vs >CR2 vs relapse) Use of transplantation in physiologically vulnerable patients (reduced intensity /

nonmyeloablative techniques, transplants in age > 60, KPS < 90) Use of newer or greater resource-requiring technologies (BM vs PBSC, auto vs

allo, URD vs MSD, use of UCB or Haploidentical transplantation, GVHD prophylaxis strategies)

Overall survival at 100d, 1, 3, and 5 years. Correlate the amount of the observed variation with the following variables:

Macroeconomic: gross national income per capita, human development index, total health expenditures, government health expenditures

Microeconomic: transplant team experience, transplant team size, pediatric vs adult centers

2.0. SCIENTIFIC JUSTIFICATION:

Allogeneic transplantation has grown in popularity in its application for the possible cure of certain hematologic malignancies in appropriately selected patients. CIBMTR data demonstrates a surge in the global use of allogeneic transplantation in the last two decades, with over 15,000 transplants performed in 2005 (CIBMTR summary slides, 2007). As the use of HCT has increased, the number of centers performing transplants has also increased, extending in reach across the globe to include several in non-high income countries as defined by the World Bank classification system. The results from a comprehensive retrospective survey of global HCT activity (the WBMT survey) were recently published in JAMA (Gratwohl et. al., 2010a). Previous data demonstrates that there may be important differences in the way that transplantation is used in different countries. In 1994, a study using IBMTR data was published in the New England Journal of Medicine, examining the use of allogeneic transplantation for chronic myeloid leukemia in ten industrialized, high-income countries (Silberman G et. al., 1994). The investigators looked at rates of transplantation for CML, the number of months between diagnosis and transplant, and the percentage of transplanted CML patients in chronic phase, and found that country-level economic variables had unpredictable effects on transplantation rates. Some hypothesized that health insurance structures in different countries contributed to these findings. Over the last several years, Gratwohl et. al. have used EBMT and supplementary survey data to explore the predictability of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation rates as a function of country-level economic indicators such as Gross National Income (GNI) and health care expenditures (HCE). These investigators have found an association between the economic strength of individual countries and their associated transplant rates (Gratwohl et. al., 2002), and have also found that higher “team densities” (i.e. number of transplant teams within a defined geographic area) were associated with increased national resources and higher transplant rates (Gratwohl et. al., 2007). More recently, Gratwohl and colleagues have used EBMT data to look at diffusion of medical technology, as relating to stem cell transplantation (Gratwohl et. al., 2010b). In this study, gross national income per capita, World Bank income category, team density, team distribution, team size, and team

innovator status were all significantly associated with changes in the use of transplantation for breast cancer or CML, and the replacement of bone marrow by peripheral blood as the source of stem cells. The CIBMTR data set provides a unique opportunity to perform a relatively detailed investigation of transplantation use and techniques across many regions of the world. At the present time, the CIBMTR is capturing fairly detailed, at least registration or TED-level data, from approximately 450 transplant centers in 48 countries. Transplant survey-based data suggests that transplant physician practice and center practice are likely to vary significantly. Lee et. al. surveyed 526 adult and pediatric HCT physicians internationally, and found significant heterogeneity in the practices of conditioning choice, management of acute and chronic graft versus host disease, and other important clinical transplant issues (Lee et. al. 2008a). In a separately published study, there were also significant differences among centers represented in this sample in the use of myelogenous growth factors, empiric antibiotic therapy, protective isolation procedures, post-transplant monitoring, and environmental and social restrictions (Lee et. al., 2008b). Though underlying economic or health resource-related factors were not specifically included as part of this analysis, it is possible that these types of factors contributed to the observed variation. In this study, we propose to use CIBMTR data to look at international variation in transplantation characteristics for AML and ALL that may be related to access to transplant, or outcome following transplant: these include timing of transplantation (time since diagnosis, disease status at the time of transplant), use of transplantation in less fit patients (use of reduced intensity techniques, transplants in older or lower performance status patients), and adoption of new technologies (PBSC vs BM, use of alternative donor sources, GVHD prophylaxis strategies). We will also look to see the degree to which macroeconomic, microeconomic, or regional variables explain variation in the categories described above. Our ability to draw conclusions on a country by country basis will be limited, as some countries include relatively few centers that contribute data to the CIBMTR. However, we hope that the use of macroeconomic, microeconomic and regional variables will provide explanatory power for the variation that we observe. The implications of such findings would be at least two-fold. First, a demonstration that macroeconomic or microeconomic variables are related to timely transplantation may prompt further investigation into which structural characteristics are conducive to the appropriate use of stem cell transplantation. Similar associations of these variables with the adoption of new technologies, or the extension of reduced intensity techniques to older patient populations, may provide additional insight (analogous to the Gratwohl publications) into characteristics associated with the diffusion of transplant-related technology. Second, if significant variation exists in the uses of transplant and transplant techniques, this may stimulate efforts to enhance comprehensive worldwide data collection efforts so that similar studies can be performed looking at outcomes and toxicities following transplantation. 3.0. ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA: The study cohort will consist of patients with acute leukemia treated with autologous or allogeneic HCT for ALL or AML between 2002 and 2007 and registered with the CIBMTR, 4.0. DATA COLLECTION: Patient, disease and transplant related characteristics will be obtained from registration-level data contributed to the CIBMTR database. Data associated with macroeconomic, microeconomic and regional variables will be obtained from publicly available data sets, as previously described in the two recent Gratwohl papers.

5.0. OUTCOMES:

Amount of variation, by regional geographic grouping, for AML and for ALL, in: - Timing of transplantation (time since diagnosis, CR1 vs >CR2 vs relapse) - Use of transplantation in physiologically vulnerable patients (% of transplants performed

with reduced intensity/nonmyeloablative techniques vs myeloablative, % of transplants in age > 60 vs age <60, % of transplants in KPS < 90 vs KPS>90)

- Use of newer or greater resource-requiring technologies (% of transplants using PBSC vs BM, % of transplants using UCB vs other, % of transplants using Haploidentical donors vs other, % of auto vs allo)

- Overall survival at 100d, 1, 3, and 5 years Association of the following variables with the outcomes above (timing of transplantation, use of transplantation in physiologically vulnerable patients, use of newer or greater resource-requiring technologies, overall survival):

‐ Stem cell source: bone marrow vs. peripheral blood stem cells vs. umbilical cord blood ‐ Donor source: related vs. unrelated vs haplo ‐ Auto vs allo

7.0. STUDY DESIGN:

The proposed study design is analogous to the Gratwohl paper published in JAMA (Gratwohl A, Baldomero H, et. al, JAMA 2010; 303(16):1617-1624). This study will add to the published Gratwohl study by incorporating additional outcome variables (including overall survival) and additional macroeconomic variables.

First, countries will be separated into regional geographic groupings (Americas, Asia, Europe, Eastern Mediterranean /Africa). The relative proportions of the first set of outcome variables (timing of transplantation, use of transplantation in physiologically vulnerable patients, use of newer or greater resource-requiring technologies, overall survival) will be compared by these regional geographic groupings, by disease type (AML and ALL).

Second, the association of macroeconomic variables (gross national income per capita, human development index, health expenditure per capita, public and private health expenditure, total health expenditure, out of pocket health expenditure) and microeconomic variables (transplant team experience, transplant team size) with the first set of outcome variables (timing of transplantation, use of transplantation in physiologically vulnerable patients, use of newer or greater resource-requiring technologies, overall survival) will be investigated by regression analyses, with adjustments for patient-related, disease-related and transplant-related variables as above. As in the Gratwohl analysis, the linear relationships between the macroeconomic/microeconomic variables and the outcomes can be reported using the t statistic, with goodness of fit reported using the coefficient of determination (r2).

Study Proposal 1111-56 Study Title: Total Body Irradiation and Radiation Therapy Prior to Hematopoietic Cell Transplant: A Survey of Transplant Specialists Associated with the Center for International Bone and Marrow Transplant Research. Christopher A. Barker, MD, Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, New York, New York Specific Aims: The aims of the study are to:

­ To determine why transplant specialists associated with the CIBMTR use total body irradiation (TBI) or other radiation therapy (RT) as part of hematopoietic cell transplant (HCT).

­ To characterize how TBI is performed at institutions associated with the CIBMTR. Scientific Justification: Recent research suggests that the use of total body irradiation (TBI) and other forms of radiation therapy (RT) prior to hematopoietic cell transplant (HCT) vary widely in centers associated with the Center for International Bona and Marrow Transplant Research (CIBMTR) (Barker, Hong, et al. submitted; Hong, Barker et al, submitted). Use of TBI varies by patient age, geographic location, human development index, cell source, and disease indications. Moreover, TBI appears to be used less frequently in recent years. RT directed at the central nervous system (CNS), gonads, lymphoid tissues, spleen, residual tumor and other tissues has also been observed in patients undergoing HCT. However, reasons for variations in TBI and RT use are unclear.

Since the early years of HCT, a wide variety of TBI techniques have been described (AAPM 1986). The last report describing the techniques of TBI at several centers in North America and England was over 30 years ago, and it is possible that techniques used now are considerably different (Kim, Khan et al. 1980). CIBMTR data does not accurately reflect the salient details of TBI (Pasquini, personal communication), and therefore a detailed assessment of current techniques employed would be valuable. Moreover, variations in TBI technique are clinically relevant; variations in shielding, boosting, fractionation and dose-rate have demonstrated significant differences in outcome in randomized clinical trials (Labar, Bogdanic et al. 1992) (Clift, Buckner et al. 1998) (Ozsahin, Belkacemi et al. 1994) (Deeg, Sullivan et al. 1986) (Girinsky, Benhamou et al. 2000) (Gratwohl, van Biezen et al. 2000).

Given the considerable variation in use of TBI and RT reported to the CIBMTR, and the possible variation in TBI techniques and survey of transplant specialists would be informative to transplant community.

Patient Eligibility Population: Transplant specialists associated with the CIBMTR will be surveyed about the use of TBI and RT at their institution. No patient data will be required.

Data Requirements: Data will be generated using a web-based survey designed and implemented with the help of the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center (MSKCC) Web Survey Core: http://www.mskcc.org/research/web-survey-core Eligible participants in the survey will be identified through the CIBMTR and contacted via electronic mail.

Supplemental data: Supplemental data gathering will not be required of the CIBMTR staff. However, analysis of the data with CIBMTR resources would be valuable. Sample Requirements: None Study Design: A web-based survey will be developed with input from transplant specialists in hematologic and radiation oncology. General sections will include respondent information, transplant practice characteristics, transplant strategies, TBI and RT technique details, opinions about TBI and RT.

Surveys will be sent to individuals identified through the CIBMTR by email. Surveys will available on the internet through MSKCC. Non-responders will be contacted again by email every 3 weeks, on 5 occasions, or until a response is received. References:
