    Abstract: To determine which factors influence cost in head and neck cancer (HNC) to inform the development of a bundled payment model (BPM). METHODS: Patients with stages 0 to IVB (by American Joint Commission on Cancer, 7th edition) HNC of various sites and histology treated definitively at a single tertiary care center during 2013 were included. Clinical variables and direct cost data were obtained, and their associations were investigated using χ 2 , t, Wilcoxon rank sum, and analysis of variance testing. Results were used to develop a BPM. RESULTS: One hundred fifty patients were included; 87% were white, 74% were men, 48% had oropharyngeal cancer, and 58% had stage IVA disease. Treatment consisted of surgery alone (17%), radiation alone (11%), surgery plus radiation (14%), chemoradiation (45%), and surgery plus chemoradiation (13%). On multivariable analysis, both increasing group stage and number of treatment modalities used were significantly associated with higher cost. Given that stage often dictates treatment, we developed three cost tiers that were based on overall treatment modality. Tier A, the least costly, consisted of single-modality therapy with either surgery alone or radiation alone (median cost divided by the median overall cost of treatment, 0.54; 25th to 75th percentile range, 0.29 to 1.02), followed by tier B, which consisted of bimodality therapy with either chemoradiation or surgery plus radiation (1.03; range, 0.81 to 1.35), followed by tier C, which consisted of trimodality therapy with surgery plus chemoradiation (1.43; range, 1.10 to 1.96). CONCLUSION: The number of treatment modalities required is the primary driver of cost in HNC. These data can simplify development of a comprehensive HNC BPM.

    Abstract: We previously reported a higher risk of mortality among Hispanics after allogeneic hematopoietic stem-cell transplantation (HSCT). However, it is not known how specific post-transplantation events (acute or chronic graft-versus-host disease [GVHD] , treatment-related mortality [TRM], and relapse) may explain mortality differences. The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between ethnicity and post-transplantation events and determine their net effect on survival. Patients and Methods We identified 3,028 patients with acute myeloid leukemia, acute lymphoblastic leukemia, or chronic myeloid leukemia reported to the International Bone Marrow Transplant Registry between 1990 and 2000 who received an HLA-identical sibling HSCT after a myeloablative conditioning regimen in the United States. There were 2,418 white patients (80%) and 610 ethnic minority patients (20%), of whom 251 were black (8%), 122 were Asian (4%), and 237 were Hispanic (8%). Cox proportional hazards regression was used to compare outcomes between whites and ethnic minorities while adjusting for other significant clinical factors. Results No statistically significant differences in the risk of acute or chronic GVHD, TRM, or relapse were found between whites and any ethnic minority group. However, Hispanics had higher risks of treatment failure (death or relapse; relative risk [RR] = 1.30; 95% CI, 1.08 to 1.54; P = .004) and overall mortality (RR = 1.23; 95% CI, 1.03 to 1.47; P = .02). Conclusion The higher risks of treatment failure and mortality among Hispanics may be the net result of modest but not statistically significant increases in both relapse and TRM and cannot be accounted for by any single transplantation-related complication. Further studies should examine the role of social, economic, and cultural factors.

    Abstract: Reducing 30-day unplanned hospital readmissions is a national policy priority. We examined the impact of a quality improvement project focused on reducing oncology readmissions among patients with cancer who were admitted to palliative and general medical oncology services at the Cleveland Clinic. Methods: Baseline rates of readmissions were gathered during the period from January 2013 to April 2014. A quality improvement project designed to improve outpatient care transitions was initiated during the period leading to April 1, 2014, including: (1) provider education, (2) postdischarge nursing phone calls within 48 hours, and (3) postdischarge provider follow-up appointments within 5 business days. Nursing callback components included symptom management, education, medication review/compliance, and follow-up appointment reminder. Results: During the baseline period, there were 2,638 admissions and 722 unplanned 30-day readmissions for an overall readmission rate of 27.4%. Callbacks and 5-day follow-up appointment monitoring revealed a mean monthly compliance of 72% and 78%, respectively, improving over time during the study period. Readmission rates declined by 4.5% to 22.9% (P 〈 .01; relative risk reduction, 18%) during the study period. The mean direct cost of one readmission was $10,884, suggesting an annualized cost savings of $1.04 million with the observed reduction in unplanned readmissions. Conclusion: Modest readmission reductions can be achieved through better systematic transitions to outpatient care (including follow-up calls and early provider visits), thereby leading to a reduction in use of inpatient resources. These data suggest that efforts focused on improving outpatient care transition were effective in reducing unplanned oncology readmissions.

    In: Journal of Oncology Practice, American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO), Vol. 11, No. 6 ( 2015-11), p. 450-455
    Abstract: Febrile neutropenia (FN) is an oncologic emergency, and prolonged time to antibiotic administration (TTA) is associated with increased hospital length of stay (LOS) and worse outcomes. We hypothesized that a febrile neutropenia pathway (FNP) quality initiative project would reduce TTA delays for febrile patients with cancer presenting to the emergency department (ED). Methods: This prospective study compared ED FNP patients ( 〉 18 years old), between June 2012 and June 2013 with both historical and direct admissions (DA) cohorts at a multispecialty academic center. Interventions included providing patients with FN-Alert cards, standardizing the definition of FN and recognizing it as a distinct chief complaint, revising ED triage level for FN, creating electronic FN order sets, administering empiric antibiotics before neutrophil count result, and relocating FN antibiotics to the ED. The primary outcome was TTA, with a target goal of 90 minutes after ED presentation. Results: In total, 276 FN episodes in 223 FNP patients occurred over the 12-month study period and were compared with 107 episodes in 87 patients and 114 episodes in 101 patients in the historical and DA cohorts, respectively. Use of the FNP reduced TTA from 235 and 169 minutes in historical and DA cohorts, respectively, to 81 minutes, and from 96 to 68 minutes when the order set was not used versus used in the FNP group (P 〈 .001 for all comparisons). Decrease in hospital LOS was not statistically significant. Conclusion: The ED FNP is a significant quality initiative with sustainable interventions, and was able to demonstrate value by decreasing TTA compared to both historical and DA controls in cancer patients presenting to the ED.

    Abstract: This study evaluates the safety and efficacy of plerixafor (AMD3100), a CXCR4 antagonist, in mobilizing hematopoietic stem cells for autologous stem-cell transplantation in non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) patients. Patients and Methods This is a phase III, multicenter, randomized (1:1), double-blind, placebo-controlled study. Patients with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma requiring an autologous hematopoietic stem-cell transplantation in first or second complete or partial remission were eligible. Patients received granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF; 10 μg/kg) subcutaneously daily for up to 8 days. Beginning on evening of day 4 and continuing daily for up to 4 days, patients received either plerixafor (240 μg/kg) or placebo subcutaneously. Starting on day 5, patients began daily apheresis for up to 4 days or until ≥ 5 × 10 6 CD34+ cells/kg were collected. The primary end point was the percentage of patients who collected ≥ 5 × 10 6 CD34+ cells/kg in 4 or fewer apheresis days. Results This report presents all data for all patients (n = 298) through 12 months follow-up. Eighty-nine (59%) of 150 patients in the plerixafor group and 29 (20%) of 148 patients in the placebo group met the primary end point (P 〈 .001). One hundred thirty-five patients (90%) in plerixafor group and 82 patients (55%) in placebo group underwent transplantation after initial mobilization. Median time to engraftment was similar in both groups. The most common plerixafor-associated adverse events were GI disorders and injection site reactions. Conclusion Plerixafor and G-CSF were well tolerated and resulted in a significantly higher proportion of patients with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma achieving the optimal CD34+ cell target for transplantation in fewer apheresis days, compared with G-CSF alone.

    Abstract: PURPOSE: To evaluate the results of high-dose chemotherapy and autologous hematopoietic stem-cell transplantation (autotransplants) in patients with diffuse aggressive non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma (NHL) who never achieve a complete remission with conventional chemotherapy. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Detailed records from the Autologous Blood and Marrow Transplant Registry (ABMTR) on 184 patients with diffuse aggressive NHL who never achieved a complete remission with conventional chemotherapy and subsequently received an autotransplant were evaluated. Transplants were performed between 1989 and 1995 and were reported to the ABMTR by 48 centers in North and South America. RESULTS: Seventy-nine (44%) of 184 patients achieved a complete remission or a complete remission with residual imaging abnormalities of unknown significance after autotransplantation. Thirty-four (19%) of 184 had a partial remission and 55 (31%) of 184 had no response or progressive disease. Eleven patients (6%) were not assessable for response because of early death. The probabilities of progression-free and overall survival at 5 years after transplantation were 31% (95% confidence interval [CI], 24% to 38%) and 37% (95% CI, 30% to 45%), respectively. In multivariate analysis, chemotherapy resistance, Karnofsky performance status score less than 80 at transplantation, age ≥ 55 years at transplantation, receiving three or more prior chemotherapy regimens, and not receiving pre- or posttransplant involved-field irradiation therapy were adverse prognostic factors for overall survival. CONCLUSION: High-dose chemotherapy and autologous hematopoietic stem-cell transplantation should be considered for patients with diffuse aggressive NHL who never achieve a complete remission but who are still chemotherapy-sensitive and are otherwise transplant candidates.

    Abstract: Precision oncology is widely discussed, but cohort studies are limited. We previously reported our prospective experience of precision oncology in solid tumors, and here we report our longitudinal experience, focusing on therapeutic impact. Patients and Methods We conducted a retrospective review of 600 consecutive patients seen at Cleveland Clinic from 2013 to 2016 for treatment of incurable solid tumor malignancies for whom tumor genomic profiling was ordered using FoundationOne (Cambridge, MA). Results were discussed at our multidisciplinary genomics tumor board. Data analyzed included subsequent therapy and overall survival (OS). Results Median age was 59 years (range, 18 to 94 years), 308 (51.3%) were female, and 533 (88.8%) were white. Targeted therapy was recommended in 310 patients (51.7%). After results, 313 patients (52.2%) started any subsequent therapy; of these, 95 (30%; 15.8% overall) received genomics-driven therapy (G), and 218 (70%) received non–genomics-driven treatment (NG). For the G versus NG group, the on-label, off-label, and clinical trial therapy breakdowns were 23% versus 88%, 47% versus 3%, and 30% versus 9%, respectively. Median OS for patients receiving no therapy after tumor genomic profiling was 5.5 months; for the G and NG groups, it was 18 ( P 〈 .001) and 14.4 ( P 〈 .001) months, respectively ( P = NS for G v NG). The use of G increased from 10% in the first 250-patient cohort (reported earlier) to 20% in the subsequent 350-patient cohort. Conclusion Tumor genomic profiling influenced treatment in 15.8% of patients. More patients received treatment via clinical trials in the G cohort, and although not statistically significant, there was a trend toward increased OS in the G ( v NG) group. These data can further guide real-world applications of precision oncology.

    Abstract: 314 Background: Therapeutic options for advanced pancreaticobiliary (PB) malignancies may be improved by genomics-driven therapies. We conducted a prospective cohort study of outpatient genomic testing to identify prevalence of actionable alterations and therapeutic impact of such testing in PB cancers. Methods: Eligibility requirements included confirmed pathologic diagnosis of select solid tumor malignancies without a known curative option, age ≥ 18 years, and an ECOG performance status of 0-2. Data for the PB cancer subgroup are presented here. Tumor samples were sequenced for up to 315 candidate genes in collaboration with Foundation Medicine, Inc. (Cambridge, MA). Results were discussed at the Cleveland Clinic Genomics Tumor Board that made therapeutic recommendations to treating physicians. Results: From Aug 2013 to Aug 2014, samples from 228 patients were analyzed; 24 (11%) had PB cancers. For the latter subgroup, median age was 60 years; 14 (58%) were male; 20 (83%) were white. Twelve (50%) tumors were pancreatic, 11 (46%) from biliary tract/gallbladder, and 1 (4%) periampullary. Median time from consent to result was 24 (range, 3-84) days. Eight (33%) samples had inadequate tissue compared with 6/174 (3%) non-PB samples (p 〈 0.001). Among patients with adequate tissue (n=16), a median of 3 (1-7) mutations were detected per sample; TP53 (50%), CDKN2A/p16 (44%) and KRAS (38%) were most common. A targeted therapy was recommended in 7 (44%) patients. Of these, 78% of recommendations were for specific clinical trials. To date, no patient with PB cancer has received a targeted therapy, compared with 6/45 (13%) patients with colorectal cancer (p=0.18). The most common reason for non-receipt of recommended targeted therapy was non-availability of clinical trials. Conclusions: Compared with other common solid tumors, genomic profiling in pancreaticobiliary cancers is challenged by paucity of diagnostic tissue collected during routine clinical care. Targeted therapy options (on-study or off-label) are few at this time. Precision oncology in pancreaticobiliary cancers will remain under-utilized until access to clinical trials is enhanced.

    Abstract: PURPOSE: Preparative regimens involving total-body irradiation (TBI) produce significant late toxicities in some children who receive bone marrow transplants, including impaired growth and intellectual development. Busulfan is often used as an alternative to TBI, but there are few data regarding its relative efficacy. PATIENTS AND METHODS: We compared outcomes of HLA-identical sibling transplants for acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) in children ( 〈 20 years of age) who received cyclophosphamide plus TBI (CY/TBI) (n = 451) versus those who received busulfan plus cyclophosphamide (Bu/CY) (n = 176) for pretransplant conditioning. Patients received transplants between 1988 and 1995 and their results were reported to the International Bone Marrow Transplant Registry by 144 participating institutions. The CY/TBI and Bu/CY groups did not differ in gender, immune phenotype, leukocyte count at the time of diagnosis, chromosome abnormalities, remission status, or length of initial remission. T-cell depletion was used more frequently in the CY/TBI group; the Bu/CY group included a higher proportion of children who were less than 5 years of age. The median follow-up period was 37 months. RESULTS: The 3-year probabilities of survival were 55% (95% confidence interval [CI], 50% to 60%) with TBI/CY and 40% (95% CI, 32% to 48%) with Bu/CY (univariate P = .003). The 3-year probabilities of leukemia-free survival were 50% (95% CI, 45% to 55%) and 35% (95% CI, 28% to 43%), respectively (univariate P = .005). In a multivariate analysis, the risks of relapse were similar in the two groups (relative risk [RR] , 1.30 for Bu/CY v CY/TBI; P = .1). Treatment-related mortality was higher in the Bu/CY group (RR, 1.68; P = .012). Death and treatment failure (relapse or death, inverse of leukemia-free survival) were more frequent in the Bu/CY group (RR, 1.39; P = .017 for death; RR, 1.42; P = .006 for treatment failure). CONCLUSION: These data indicate superior survival with CY/TBI conditioning, compared with Bu/CY conditioning, for HLA-identical sibling bone marrow transplants in children with ALL.
