2 Methodist s leadership i cacer care cotiues. Methodist Estabrook Cacer Ceter is oe of oly 22 cacer care providers i the atio ad the oly oe i the area to ear the 2016 Outstadig Achievemet Award from the Commissio o Cacer (CoC) of the America College of Surgeos. Aoucemet of the award followed CoC cacer program surveys performed July 1 through December 31, The stregth of Methodist s patiet experiece is also validated by patiet satisfactio survey results from Professioal Research Cosultats, Ic. (PRC). This year, Methodist achieved 21 PRC Awards for Excellece i healthcare, icludig umerous 5-Star Awards for our ipatiet ad outpatiet ocology services. Our work to fight cacer ad ehace care cotiues, ad we thak you for your iterest ad support. This is our secod cosecutive CoC Outstadig Achievemet Award ad further cofirmatio of Methodist s success i deliverig outstadig patiet-cetered, evidecebased multidiscipliary cacer care. Our great stregths are ot weakeed by the passage of time or by growth withi our competitive marketplace. Methodist maitais a uique culture ad visio. We possess a uwaverig commitmet to quality ad to those we serve. We place the highest priority o the total patiet experiece Daiel D. Lydiatt, DDS, MD Medical Director Methodist Estabrook Cacer Ceter Josie Abboud, RN, BSN, MBA Executive Vice Presidet ad Chief Operatig Officer Methodist Hospital Patty Bauer, MSHA, RN, RRT Service Executive, Ocology Services Methodist Estabrook Cacer Ceter throughout Methodist, icludig all ocology services. For us, The Meaig of Care is a way of life. It is the special way our people care for patiets ad families, ad it is our total eviromet of care. Our expert, experieced ad compassioate caregivers ad support staff create positive experieces throughout the cotiuum of care for the best possible outcomes, icludig a faster retur to health ad fuctio. 2 3

3 Multiple Myeloma Update Stefao Taratolo, MD Multiple myeloma is a blood cacer of the plasma cells. Normal plasma cells are importat for immue fuctio ad to regulate atibody (or immuoglobuli) productio. Plasma cells are located i the boe marrow ad whe oe becomes cacerous, it reproduces or proliferates. The maligat plasma cells will the make the same type of abormal immuoglobuli called M protei. This M protei ca be detected i the blood ad/or urie. The symptoms ad sigs of myeloma occur due to both the proliferatio of the cells i the boe marrow as well as to the damage the M protei causes whe it deposits i orgas. Multiple myeloma represets 1 percet of all cacers ad 13 percet of hematologic or blood cacers. It is geerally diagosed later i life with the average age of ewly diagosed patiets beig 70 years. Oly a third of patiets are diagosed prior to age 65. It is estimated that 30,280 Americas will be diagosed with myeloma i 2017 (17,490 male ad 12,780 female) ad 12,590 deaths are expected (6,600 male ad 5,930 female). The average life expectacy after a diagosis of myeloma is approximately five years although ewer treatmets have show to improve overall survival. Symptoms Approximately 73 percet of patiets will preset with aemia due to either poorly fuctioig kideys (due to damage from the M protei) ad/or marrow replacemet by plasma cells. Eighty percet of patiets will have boe lesios with about two thirds havig some pai i those areas. Other symptoms iclude recurret ifectios, peripheral europathy ad symptoms from kidey damage (fluid retetio). Laboratory Data Patiets suspected of havig myeloma udergo the followig diagostic studies: complete blood cout, complete blood chemistry, 24-hour urie collectio of protei electrophoresis with immuofixatio, serum I 2017, it is estimated that 30,280 Americas will be diagosed with myeloma protei electrophoresis with immuofixatio, B-2- microglobuli, serum light chais, a boe marrow biopsy with flow cytometry ad FISH pael. Additioal studies iclude a fat pad biopsy to evaluate for a coditio called amyloid ad x-rays (PET sca, MRI of boes or complete radiographs of the etire skeleto). I the ear future, gee expressio profilig will be available to aid i risk stratificatio ad selectio of the most active agets for patiets upfrot. Stagig Myeloma is staged utilizig the Iteratioal Stagig System (ISS). This stagig system is exclusively based o albumi level ad Beta 2 microglobuli. Patiets are staged as Stage I, II or III. The stages correspod to survival predictio: Stage I, 62 moths; Stage II, 44 moths; ad Stage III, 29 moths. The revised Iteratioal Stagig System (R-ISS) added serum LDH ad high-risk chromosomes by fluorescet i situ hybridizatio (FISH). 4 5

A recet study published i the April 2017 issue of the New Eglad Joural of Medicie o 700 adult patiets with multiple myeloma showed a improvemet i survival i patiets who were cosolidated with a Autologous stem cell trasplat. Treatmet The treatmet of myeloma has chaged dramatically i the last decade from traditioal chemotherapy drugs to ow iclude targeted therapies (drugs that act more specifically o the cacer cells). This has trasformed the progosis for patiets with myeloma with a media survival of 29 moths i 2000 to a media survival of five years i For more tha 50 years, the maistay of therapy was oral melphala ad predisoe. Multiple poly-chemotherapy agets whe compared to melphala ad predisoe showed similar outcomes resultig i a media survival of 29 moths regardless of the therapy utilized. However, recet research has show that immuomodulatory agets such as thalidomide, lealidomide, pomalidomide ad proteasome ihibitors such as Velcade, Kyprolilis ad Nilaro are impactig survival. High-dose therapy with Autologous stem cell rescue has become the stadard of care for selected fit patiets. Sice New Therapies: Moocloal Atibody Recetly, two ew moocloal atibodies have bee FDA approved for the treatmet of myeloma. Daratumumab is a huma IgG kappa moocloal atibody that targets the CD38 receptor o the cell surface ad kills plasma cells via 6 7

5 Multiple Myeloma Update cotiued multiple immue-mediated mechaisms. Daratumumab demostrated a favorable safety profile ad ecouragig efficacy i heavily pretreated patiets. Daratumumab is FDA approved for secod lie therapy. There are several ogoig trials that icorporate Daratumumab i the first lie settig, prior to stem cell trasplatatio. The secod atibody is Elotuzumab which is also a huma IgG1 moocloal atibody that targets sigle lymphocyte activatio of C7 or SLAM-7 or CS-1 (cell surface glycoprotei CD2) o atural killer cells. More tha 95 percet of marrow plasma cells express SLAM-7. Elotuzumab is admiistered i combiatio with lealidomide. Methodist Hospital is curretly participatig i a research study of Elotuzumab i the frotlie settig, prior to stem trasplat. Coclusio As ca be oted, the rapid advaces i our uderstadig of myeloma biology have resulted i uprecedeted developmet of ew treatmets that have improved survival ad quality of life for patiets. Perhaps more excitig is a research pipelie that bodes for eve a more hopeful future. Although a cure for myeloma may still be some time away, the possibility of covertig myeloma ito a chroic illess (similar to hypertesio or diabetes) is rapidly becomig a reality. Attal, M., Lauwers-Caces, V., Huli, C., Leleu, X., Caillot, D., Escoffre, M. & Avet-Loiseau, H. (2017). Lealidomide, Bortezomib, ad Dexamethasoe with Trasplatatio for Myeloma. NEJM, 376(14), Future There are several excitig ew therapies. Oe promisig aget is chimeric atige receptor T-cells commoly referred to as CAR-T cells. This therapy uses a patiet s ow immue T-cells that are egieered to attack a specific protei o a myeloma cell such as CD-19 or BMSA. 8 9

6 FACT ACCREDITATION: Foudatio for the Accreditatio of Cellular Therapy Kim Blad, DNP, APRN-NP, FNP, AOCN Amog stem cell trasplat programs, oe quality measure stads out: accreditatio by the Foudatio for the Accreditatio of Cellular Therapy (FACT). FACT is a iteratioal accreditatio created to establish ad certify cliical excellece i process ad outcomes ad is the threshold for excellece i cellular therapy (stem cell trasplatatio). FACT accredited orgaizatios volutarily seek ad maitai FACT accreditatio through a rigorous process, demostratig their belief that patiet eeds are paramout. Accreditatio is based o compliace with comprehesive evidece-based stadards set by iteratioal teams of worldreowed experts vested i the improvemet ad progress of cellular therapy. FACT ceters have a reputatio as ceters of excellece that exert adequate quality cotrol over the etire cellular therapy process. Accredited programs maitai the cofidece of medical professioals, third-party payers, ad regulators i the quality of the orgaizatio s cellular therapy services. This accreditatio, which is ofte required by isurace payers, applies to all patiets receivig Autologous stem cell trasplatatio at Nebraska Methodist Hospital. The Autologous stem cell trasplat program received iitial full three-year FACT accreditatio i Compliace with FACT stadards is a ogoig process; successful accreditatio is attributed to strog collaboratio amog departmets ad staff members who care for trasplat patiets. Dedicated to improvig survival, treatmet, ad quality of life for trasplat patiets, Nebraska Methodist Hospital volutarily participates i the Ceter for Iteratioal Blood & Marrow Trasplat Research Program (CIBMTR). The CIBMTR has a etwork of more tha 500 ceters worldwide that cotribute detailed research data o hematopoietic cell trasplats. The primary goal of this research program is to improve the safety ad effectiveess of hematopoietic cell trasplatatio. Patiets receivig stem cell trasplatatio are ivited to take part i this research database, which is oversee by Nebraska Methodist Hospital Istitutioal Review Board. Iformatio about participatio is provided ad patiets must sig a coset form to participate. There are o costs or reimbursemets to the patiet ad participats may withdrawal from the study All treatmet decisios are a partership betwee the care team ad the patiet ad family. at ay time. The goal of this research is to fid ways to make hematopoietic trasplats ad other cellular therapies work better, to help future patiets who eed a trasplat or cellular therapy. Nebraska Methodist Hospital has a stem cell trasplatatio multidiscipliary team focused o the philosophy of holistic, idividualized patiet-cetered care. All treatmet decisios are a partership betwee the care team, the patiet ad family, from iitial diagosis through treatmet ad follow up. Quarterly stem cell trasplat committee meetigs are coducted to review the program, provide educatio for staff members, ad to cotiually improve patiet care. I additio to participatig i the o-site accreditatio ispectio by FACT surveyors, Methodist Hospital also volutarily submits aual reports of trasplat activities to FACT ad the Methodist Cacer Committee. Patiets receivig Autologous stem cell trasplatatio at Methodist Hospital, a FACT accredited orgaizatio, ca be assured that they are i good hads
