1 Survivorship After Allogeneic Stem Cell Transplantation: Monitoring, Management and Quality of Life Stephanie J. Lee, MD, MPH Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center April 16, 2016 (40 min) Hematopoietic cell transplantation One millionth transplant performed Dec 2012 # transplant survivors doubling every 10 years Success limited by: disease recurrence high cost, lack of optimal donor availability treatment-related complications early less intensive conditioning, better supportive care late not as much progress Autologous and allogeneic transplant survivors have higher mortality and morbidity

JCO 2010; 28: 2011 4-9x increased mortality rates in 5 year survivors Age and sex matched general population Among 2 year DFS, subsequent survival: Autologous 80% at 10 years Allogeneic 85% at 10 years 80% at 15 years Bhatia et al, Blood 2007 Majhail et al, BJH 2009 Martin et al, JCO 2010 Wingard et al, JCO 2011 Atsuta et al, Tandem 2013 Late deaths (5 year DFS) N=1,625 allogeneic recipients (13% died, n=219) N=342 autologous recipients (19% died, n=65) Martin et al.

9 Counseling patients about monitoring The rate of chronic medical conditions is 2-4x higher after a transplant compared to the general population You will need close medical follow-up for the rest of your life Prevention, monitoring, and appropriate management are KEY to minimizing any adverse impact of late effects on your life Survivorship After Allogeneic Stem Cell Transplantation: Monitoring, Management and Quality of Life

16 Research questions in survivorship care If the goal is to decrease morbidity and mortality from late effects: What testing is necessary? Reasonable? A luxury? Incidence and severity of the problem Availability and effectiveness of treatments Should treatment thresholds or management approaches be adjusted in HCT survivors? What care model works best for survivors? Treating physician vs. centralized survivorship clinic How do you engage survivors in health maintenance? Given limited funding and time for survivorship care, where is that money best spent? Survivorship After Allogeneic Stem Cell Transplantation: Monitoring, Management and Quality of Life
17 Global QOL PHYSICAL* fatigue pain FUNCTIONAL* work sleep EMOTIONAL anxiety enthusiasm SOCIAL family friends Multidimensional Individual Surrogates inaccurate Subjective Framing Response Shift Summary of QOL findings High global QOL, many specific problems: fatigue, cognitive deficits, sleep, sexual functioning 20-30% do not return to work 5-20% have sig functional deficits or poor QOL recovery is a 3-5 year process Some positive effects: greater appreciation for life, health, loved ones
18 Summary of QOL findings Factors associated with better QOL: higher pre-hct functioning, education, income younger age, male good risk disease longer time since HCT, no chronic GVHD auto or chemo vs. allo not NMA/RIC vs. myeloablative Number of late adverse effects Lower PF, KPS Limitations in normal activities Less likely to work Poor functioning: joint replacement, diabetes, adrenal insufficiency, pulmonary disease Khera et al, JCO 2011
19 Clinical Implications Make patients aware of potential deficits self-monitor for problems provide reassurance about common experiences discordance between expectations and reality is a major source of post transplant distress Improve survivorship care risk stratification for more intensive monitoring interventions to address deficits Consider QOL in treatment decisions QOL before allogeneic HCT BMT CTN 0902 N=310 allos Median FU 23 mos TRM: p=0.047 OS: p=0.001 P<0.001 Similar or better predictive ability as HCT-Comorbidity Index and Disease Risk Index for 6 and 12 month survival Physical functioning; general health Wood et al, Cancer 2015; 122: 91

23 Summary HCT survivors are at higher risks of morbidity (2-4x) and mortality (2-9x). The number of survivors is growing Long-term follow-up of HCT survivors involves prevention, screening, appropriate interventions and patient education Data supporting specific models of care are lacking; efficacy likely depends on clinician interest and resources Late effects are associated with worse quality of life Survivorship is a good problem to have
