1 Disclosure of Potential Conflicts of Interest: Der Qualitätsmanager How do anti-infectives apply to patients with GvHD? infections Andrew J. Ullmann, MD, FIDSA Julius-Maximilians-Universität Department of Internal Medicine II Division of Infectious Diseases Würzburg, Germany 1. Employment or Leadership Position 2. Advisory Role Basilea, Pfizer, MSD, Astellas, Gilead, Aicuris 3. Stock Ownership 4. Honoraria Astellas, Gilead, MSD, Astellas, and Pfizer 5. Financing of Scientific Research Astellas, Gilead, MSD, Astellas, Pfizer, and BioCryst 6. Expert Testimony 7. Other Financial Relationships none Topics Basics: GVHD Immunology Guidelines Selected topics: Primary Prophylaxis in GVHD Aspergillus: Time to Diagnosis of Aspergillosis after HSCT GvHD! Slow T-cell recovery! Other Issues in GVHD Rare fungal infections Neutropenia! Wald et al. JID 1997 Invasive Infections in allogeneic HSCT Risk Factors in Relation to Incidence Longitudinal analysis of Aspergillus-specific T-cell responses in patients with invasive aspergillosis after allogeneic SCT Overall incidence rate of IFI in 395 allogeneic HSCT: 14%! Risk Factors: Steroid prophylaxis Moderate- to- severe GVHD Martino et al. Brit J Haema 2002" Hebert et al. Blood 2002 Long-term control of invasive aspergillosis was associated with a lymphoproliferative response to EC SAB and a dominant release of IFN-Υ (patient no. 1), whereas a low SI (patient no. 2) n IFN-Υ; and IL-10 1

2 After one year: Frequency of CD4+ T-cells responding to A. fumigatus antigens with intracellular production of IFN-γ and TNF-α Which Guidelines? CD3/CD4 cells Beck O et al, Journal of Immunological Methods 335 (2008) Challenges Unmet need for s? Some national s Including diagnostic procedures How flexible is the? Can it be adapted for local use? If the current is making recommendations that differ significantly from those of previous s on the same subject, the differences should be reconciled Guidelines should suggest areas for further study Funding Dominance of North-American Guidelines Missing help for diagnostic procedures Not all patients are alike Not all areas in the world are alike Different epidemiology? Strength of Recommendation/QoE Strength of the EFISG Recommendation by Quality of Evidence Two Parts: Ø Strength of recommendation Ø Quality of Evidence Strength of recommendation Ullmann et al. CMI 2012 Pappas et al CID 2009 Grade A Grade B Grade C Grade D ESCMID (fungal infection study group) strongly supports a recommendation for use ESCMID (fungal infection study group) moderately supports a recommendation for use ESCMID (fungal infection study group) marginally supports a recommendation for use ESCMID (fungal infection study group) supports a recommendation against use 2

3 Strength of the EFISG Recommendation by Quality of Evidence Quality of evidence Level I Evidence from at least 1 properly designed randomized, controlled trial Level II* Evidence from at least 1 well-designed clinical trial, without randomization; from cohort or case-controlled analytic studies (preferably from >1 centre); from multiple time series; or from dramatic results of uncontrolled experiments Level III Evidence from opinions of respected authorities, based on clinical experience, descriptive case studies, or reports of expert committees Selected Topics Ullmann et al. CMI 2012 *: added index: r : meta-analysis (or systematic review of RCT); t : transferred evidence i.e. results from different patients cohorts, or similar immune-status situation; h : comparator group: historical control; u : uncontrolled trials a: for published abstract (presented at an international symposium or meeting) Case 1 Ø Sepsis and renal insufficiency Ø Despite different chemotherapy blasts persist Ø 2 months after primary diagnosis new chemotherapy with Gemtuzumab ozogamicin Ø 5 months after primary diagnosis MUD HCT (CMV donor negative; recipient positive) Ø GvHD-prophylaxis: CsA later tacrolimus Ø Prophylaxis?
