However, this burden has not been well characterized in England. This study assesses secondary care HCRU and costs for patients following allo HSCT in England with cGvHD and patients who did not develop graft-versus-host disease (GvHD). Further stratification was performed among patients who did or did not subsequently receive high-cost therapies for the treatment of cGvHD. This descriptive, retrospective cohort study used Hospital Episode Statistics (HES) data from April 2017 to March 2022. HES data captures information on reimbursed diagnoses and procedures from all National Health Service (NHS) secondary care admissions and attendances in England. High-cost drugs as defined by NHS England are recorded in HES, these drugs and other procedures including plasma exchange, were used to identify patients with cGvHD who were in receipt of high-cost therapies. HCRU and costs were described for patients with cGvHD following allo-HSCT (<em>n</em> = 721) and were matched with patients with no evidence of GvHD following allo-HSCT (<em>n</em> = 718). HCRU and costs were also described for the subset of patients with cGvHD (<em>n</em> = 198) following receipt of high-cost therapies and patients with cGvHD prior to or without such therapies (<em>n</em> = 523). A higher proportion of patients with cGvHD had at least one inpatient or intensive care unit (ICU) admission or emergency care attendance than patients without GvHD (inpatient: 74.6% versus 66.6%; emergency care: 39.3% versus 30.5%; ICU: 7.4% versus 4.7%; respectively); whilst the proportion of patients with an outpatient attendance were similar for both groups (outpatient: 80.3% versus 84.1%; respectively). The cost across all secondary care settings was higher for patients with cGvHD than patients without GvHD, with a mean cost of inpatient admissions of £17,339 per patient-year for those with cGvHD versus £8548 per patient-year in patients without GvHD. A higher proportion of patients who received high-cost therapies for the treatment of cGvHD had at least one secondary care admission or attendance, than patients who did not (inpatient: 85.4% versus 66.4%; ICU: 7.1% versus 5.4%; outpatient: 87.9% versus 76.7%; emergency care: 44.4% versus 36.5%; respectively). Patients who were treated with high-cost therapies for the treatment of cGvHD had a greater mean number (14.6 versus 8.2 per patient-year, respectively) for all-cause inpatient admissions after treatment than patients who did not. In all secondary care settings, the total cost per patient-year was higher for patients who received high-cost therapies for the treatment of cGvHD, than for those who did not.

The incidence of DSA varies across studies, depending on individual factors, detection or identification methods and thresholds considered clinically relevant. Although DSA testing by multiplex bead arrays remains semiquantitative, it has been widely adopted as a standard test in most transplant centers. Additional testing to determine risk of allograft rejection may include assays with HLA antigens in natural conformation, such as flow cytometric crossmatch, and/or antibody binding assays, such as C1q testing. Patients with low level of DSA (<2,000 mean fluorescence intensity; MFI) may not require treatment, while others with very high level of DSA (>20,000 MFI) may be at very high-risk for engraftment failure despite current therapies. By contrast, in patients with moderate or high level of DSA, desensitization therapy can successfully mitigate DSA levels and improve donor cell engraftment rate, with comparable outcomes to patients without DSA. Treatment is largely empirical and multimodal, involving the removal, neutralization, and blocking of antibodies, as well as inhibition of antibody production to prevent activation of the complement cascade. Desensitization protocols are based on accumulated multicenter experience, while prospective multicenter studies remain lacking. Most patients require a full intensity protocol that includes plasma exchange, while protocols relying only on rituximab and intravenous immunoglobulin may be sufficient for patients with lower DSA levels and negative C1q and/or flow cytometric crossmatch. Monitoring DSA levels before and after HSCT could guide preemptive treatment when high levels persist after stem cell infusion. This paper aims to standardize current evidence-based practice and formulate future directions to improve upon current knowledge and advance treatment for this relatively rare, but potentially serious complication in allogeneic HSCT recipients.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":23283,"journal":{"name":"Transplantation and Cellular Therapy","volume":"30 12","pages":"Pages 1139-1154"},"PeriodicalIF":3.6,"publicationDate":"2024-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142204642","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This single-arm, proof-of-concept trial aimed to refine the Supporting Transplant Experiences with Peer Program (STEPP), a structured, five-session, manualized, phone-delivered peer support intervention for patients undergoing HSCT, informed by qualitative feedback from patients. Adult patients with hematologic malignancies scheduled to undergo allogeneic or autologous HSCT were eligible to participate in the study approximately two weeks prior to their HSCT hospitalization. Participants received the STEPP intervention, which focused on providing informational, emotional, and practical support. To refine the intervention, we conducted semi-structured qualitative exit interviews to gather feedback on the content of STEPP and to identify facilitators and barriers to engagement. Transcribed interviews were analyzed using rapid analytic methods by two coders. Of the 37 eligible patients, 25 enrolled in the study, 20 completed all intervention sessions and 20 completed exit interviews. Participants highlighted that discussions with peer mentors/STEPP interventionists about the transplant journey and processing information provided by the clinical team were the most valuable aspects of STEPP. Positive experiences during the first intervention session facilitated patient engagement with the program. Potential barriers to engagement included logistical challenges in connecting with interventionists while experiencing physical symptoms during inpatient hospitalization and being paired with an interventionist who had a different cancer diagnosis and/or type of transplant. Patients undergoing HSCT reported positive experiences with the structured five-session, phone-delivered peer support intervention administered before and during the HSCT hospitalization. Patients’ descriptions of barriers and facilitators to engagement with the STEPP intervention underscore the importance of patient input and programmatic structure in peer support interventions for this population.

We include CAR T trials published January 2008 to January 2023 on PubMed that reported at least one of these TTE endpoints: overall survival (OS), progression-free survival (PFS), duration of response/remission (DOR), disease-free survival, event-free survival (EFS), relapse-free survival (RFS), time to relapse, time to progression, or time to treatment failure. We abstracted and summarized endpoint definitions, including the time origin, events, competing events, and censoring. We assessed the completeness of endpoint reporting, overall and by subgroups such as study phase, publication year, and the journal's impact factor. We included 116 publications in the analysis. The most frequently reported TTEs were OS (83%,), PFS (56%), DOR (55%), and EFS (23%). Complete reporting of endpoints was poor overall: 32%, 24%, 25%, and 56% for OS, PFS, DOR, and EFS respectively. Complete reporting was lower in articles published before 2018, in lower impact factor journals, and in phase I trials. There was also a large variability in TTE definitions among those reported. For example, among 64 studies reporting DOR, 48% used the date of response as the time origin while 20% used the date of infusion, and 31% did not report a time origin. There is substantial heterogeneity and incompleteness of TTE endpoint definitions in CAR T trials that could impact the interpretation of the study results.
