4 PRESIDENT S MESSAGE Dear CBMTG Members, I am pleased to present the annual report of the Canadian Blood and Marrow Transplant Group for 2015/16. Over the past year our society has continued to grow in size and scope. At 384 members the CBMTG has the largest and most diverse membership ever. We have renewed our focus on our Special Interest Groups and have broadened our activities to include advocacy in the field of blood and marrow stem cell transplantation. In the past year the CBMTG has positioned itself to be the voice of professionals working in the field of blood and marrow stem cell transplantation. We led the response to the Melphalan shortage last year and worked closely with representatives of Health Canada to secure a new supply of this critical drug. In order to support this activity we have realized that we need to develop closer ties with the individual transplant programs and have established a BMT Directors Committee. We hope that this committee will enable us to advocate more effectively for resources for the care of BMT patients. We have also decided to engage more with Canadian BMT patients and their families. The inaugural Patient Symposium held after the Annual Meeting in Vancouver was an opportunity to hear from patients about what would have helped them going through transplant. Many indicated how hard it was for them to find information about living posttransplant written from the patient s perspective. They also expressed an interest in becoming more engaged in research and in knowledge translation. We will continue to support this group by creating a Patient and Family Special Interest Group within the CBMTG. In future we hope to include Patient Symposia in future meetings to build stronger relationships with these natural allies. Research remains a central focus of the CBMTG. The National Registry continues to grow and by the end of 2016 will receive data from 16 Canadian transplant centers located in all regions of the country and reflecting both pediatric and adult programs. The first publication from the registry was presented by Dr. K. Paulson at the BMT Tandem Meetings in Honolulu in March Work has already started on our next publication describing the state of HCT in Canada in the 21 st Century. Dr. K. Schultz has joined the Board of the CBMTG in the position of Director-at-Large, Research, and will be looking at infrastructure needs to foster interventional studies in HCT in Canada. Our educational programs remain strong and will expand further under the new leadership of Dr. K. Lepic, Directorat-Large, Education. We continue to see growth in the attendance at webinars. We will focus on developing leaders in BMT by hosting a leadership training program in Toronto in November. Rather than holding a large annual meeting next year we will host three themed meetings in 2017; themes will include Innovation (Calgary), Resilience (Winnipeg) and Before and After Care (St. John s) and meetings are open to CBMTG members from across the country. We will meet up again at our next Annual Meeting in Ottawa in the spring of CBMTG s goals in the upcoming year will be to continue to build the research infrastructure, encourage collaboration between programs to address clinical, regulatory and administrative challenges, and to further develop the association special interest groups. I wish to thank the CBMTG board of directors, committee chairs, members and staff who work towards the vision of CBMTG. I invite all members to be involved and participate with the association. Sincerely, Andrew Daly, MDCM, FRCPC President 4

11 CBMTG ANNUAL REPORT National Registry The CBMTG has developed a comprehensive outcomes registry containing detailed clinical data on Canadians undergoing both autologous and allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplants from programs across Canada. We have data for over 18,000 patients dating back to The Registry is based in Winnipeg and is under the leadership of Dr. Kristjan Paulson. The Registry is an important research tool for CBMTG members. Some possible benefits of having country-wide data: 1. Transplant activity and practices across Canada can facilitate the design and conduct of clinical trials by CBMTG member centres. 2. Transplant outcomes reflecting Canadian clinical practice. 3. Practice patterns and outcomes can be used by health services researchers and programs to inform policy makers and payers about National standards of practice. The majority of the data will be collected through our partnership with CIBMTR. As part of FACT requirements, transplant programs collect Transplant Essential Data (TED) as defined by the CIBMTR. Through data sharing agreements, TED forms submitted to the CIBMTR can be forwarded to the CBMTG for inclusion in our National Registry. Canadian programs can also submit their data directly to the CBMTG Registry.
