Conditions

Hematologic Malignancy

Brief summary

Prospective observational multicenter study of allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation (HCT) in recipients 60 years and older to assess important determinants of health status to be combined into a composite health risk model to improve risk assessment of non-relapse mortality (NRM).

Detailed description

At baseline, standardized Geriatric Assessment (GA) tools incorporating subject reported data and bedside testing will be collected. HCT-Comorbidity Index (CI) scores will be assigned and C-reactive protein (CRP) and albumin will be measured locally. Serial measures at 3, 6, and 12 months for frailty, skilled facility admission, and quality of life (QOL) using PROMIS measures for physical function, depression and anxiety will be determined. Graft Versus Host Disease (GVHD) through one year, serious toxicities through day 100, cognitive status at day 100 and causes of death will be captured.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
One Year Non-Relapse Mortality1 yearTo determine the set of assessments and biomarkers that could together constitute a robust and valid composite health risk model for accurate personalized estimation of NRM by analyzing data collected from all measures pre and post transplant.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Cumulative Incidence of Frailty1 YearCumulative Incidence of Frailty determined by score determined through the Hopkins Frailty Phenotype assessment on a scale of 0-5 where a score of 3 or more is considered 'frail'.
Cumulative incidence of disability1 YearCumulative incidence of disability measured through Lawton instrumental activities of daily living (IADL) assessment. Disability is defined as any assistance needed for a specific IADL domain, and measured by a worsening of disability score by one or more IADL within one year.
Cumulative incidence of admission to a skilled nursing facility1 YearCumulative incidence of admission to a skilled nursing facility
HRQOL using PROMIS domains1 YearHealth Related Quality of Life as measured using the PROMIS Global Health Physical Function, Anxiety, and Depression domains on scales from 0-100 where 50 is the mean score in a healthy reference population. A higher score indicates 'more' of that domain - for this study that would be more physical function, more anxiety, or more depression than the reference population.
Overall survival1 yearOverall survival
Cumulative incidence of acute grade 2-4 GVHD100 daysCumulative incidence of acute grade 2-4 GVHD at 100 days, 6 months and 1 year and chronic GVHD requiring treatment with systemic immune-suppression at 6 months and 1 year
Chronic GVHD requiring treatment with systemic immune-suppression6 monthsCumulative incidence of acute grade 2-4 GVHD at 100 days, 6 months and 1 year and chronic GVHD requiring treatment with systemic immune-suppression at 6 months and 1 year
Survival after development of acute grade 2-4 GVHD1 yearSurvival after development of acute grade 2-4 GVHD
Cognitive decline at day 100Day 100Cognitive decline at day 100 as measured using the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) as a rapid screening instrument for mild genitive dysfunction. MoCA uses a scale of 0-30 where 26-30 indicates the normal range in healthy populations. Cognitive decline will be defined as a 2 point or greater decline from baseline on total score.
