    Abstract: To determine the impact of age and health status on adjuvant treatment recommendations for older patients with breast cancer from the perspective of medical oncologists and primary care physicians with geriatric expertise. Patients and Methods One hundred fifty-one oncologists and 158 primary care physicians with geriatric expertise participated in an online survey. The survey described hypothetical patients of varying ages (70, 75, 80, and 85 years) and health status (good, average, and poor) who had node-positive, hormone receptor–positive, human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER-2)/neu–negative; and hormone receptor–negative, HER-2/neu–positive breast cancers. The effects of patient age and health status on the survey participants’ adjuvant treatment recommendations were examined using generalized estimation equation methods. Results The majority of both oncologists and primary care physicians recommended some form of adjuvant therapy for patients of all ages (70, 75, 80, and 85 years) and health status. Both oncologists and primary care providers were less likely to recommend adjuvant treatment as a patient's age increased or health status declined (P 〈 .0001). There were no significant differences in treatment recommendations among primary care physicians and oncologists for patients with hormone receptor–negative, HER-2/neu–positive tumors (P = .54). However, primary care providers were more likely than oncologists to recommend no adjuvant treatment for patients age 75 years or older with hormone receptor–positive, HER-2/neu–negative tumors (P 〈 .01). Conclusion Age and health status influence oncologists’ and primary care providers’ adjuvant treatment recommendations. Evidence-based guidelines for breast cancer treatment in older adults taking into account age and health status are needed.

    Abstract: The practice of oncology is characterized by challenging communication tasks that make it difficult to ensure optimal physician-patient information sharing and care planning. Discussions of diagnosis, prognosis, and patient goals are essential processes that inform decisions. However, data suggest that there are deficiencies in this area. We conducted a systematic review to identify the evidence supporting high-quality clinical practices for information and care planning in the context of cancer care as part of the RAND Cancer Quality–Assessing Symptoms, Side Effects, and Indicators of Supportive Treatment Project. Domains of information and care planning that are important for high-quality cancer care include integration of palliation into cancer care, advance care planning, sentinel events as markers for the need to readdress a patient's goals of care, and continuity of care planning. The standards presented here for information and care planning in cancer care should be incorporated into care pathways and should become the expectation rather than the exception.

    Abstract: Background: Developing innovative, efficient and institutionally scalable bio-specimen consent for remnant tissue that meets the NIH consent guidelines for genomic and molecular analysis is essential for precision medicine efforts in cancer. Solutions in this arena need to satisfy the needs of patients, researchers, ethicists, IRB and compliance leadership, while fitting as seamlessly as possible into existing clinical workflows. Methods: UCLA developed a video-application kiosk-based approach for providing universal consent to repurpose clinical remnant bio-specimen for research. The process was designed to be self-service, comprehensive yet fast (mean shorter than 5 minute for completion). The consent additionally asked the patient if they were willing to be contacted directly for future research projects. This approach was piloted with 474 patients who were coming in for routine services in laboratory medicine, radiology, oncology, and hospital admissions. Of the pilot population, 175 individuals had targeted surveys to evaluate drivers for opting-in or opting-out of the consent for allowing the collection and use of their remnant tissue for research. The cognitive survey was online and presented immediately after the consent process was completed. Results: The opt-in rate for the pilot was 90.7%, and 56% agreed to direct contact for future research. Only 7% needed help navigating the online consent process. Of the subgroup of pilot population who completed the targeted survey, there was no difference between individuals who opted in and out regarding ease of use, of the consent application with about 75% stating it provided mostly or very useful information, 90% stating it was mostly or very easy to understand, and 85% stating they trusted the information. However, there were significant differences between those that opted-in and opted-out in their beliefs concerning usefulness of tissue, trusting researchers, importance of contributing to science and privacy risk with those opting in strongly supporting these beliefs ( & gt;90%) compared to those that opted out ( & lt;40%), p & lt;0.001. Conclusions: Video-application approach for allowing individuals to consent for remnant specimens to be collected and used for research, including cancer research, can be efficient, patient-centric and meet the NIH requirements. This method could increase the availability of blood and tissue for cancer research and should be tested for scalability as an enterprise solution.

    Abstract: Background: WISDOM is a large (target enrollment & gt;40,000) healthy women preference-tolerant, pragmatic study comparing traditional annual screening to personalized risk-based breast screening. Cancer screening, routine health care, and elective procedures were disrupted due to attempts to manage resources during the COVID-19 pandemic. Understanding of the impact on COVID-19 on trial participants is important to gain a broader understanding of the effect of the pandemic on healthcare activities. Methods: Women aged 40-74 years with no history of breast cancer or DCIS, and no previous double mastectomy can join the WISDOM (NCT02620852) study online at wisdomstudy.org. A total of 28,600 women have consented to participate. As part of the trial, each patient completes a baseline and interval surveys through a Salesforce platform. In May, the study IRB was amended to add a COVID specific survey with questions related to participants COVID risk perceptions, coexisting conditions, and receipt of healthcare services in the 2 months prior to the survey. An initial survey was sent May 2020, with follow-up surveys planned every 2 months. In addition, national surveys on a population-based cross section of individuals across the nation will be performed in parallel. Data was collected, de-identified, and then analyzed using basic descriptive analysis, chi-2 analysis, and logit regression. Results: A total of 7,523 individuals in WISDOM responded to the survey (response rate 27%). Of those that responded, the average age at the time of the survey was 59 (range 40-79). The population was 87% Caucasian, 6% Hispanic, and 4% African-American. Only 3.6% of the sample felt they had COVID-19 either by symptoms or through testing. However, 10.0% felt they were at higher risk compared to similar individuals their age to get COVID-19. Of the sample, 29% had some form of high-risk coexisting condition that put them at higher risk for COVID-19. In terms of healthcare utilization in the prior 2 months, 43% had a routine medical visit cancelled by their primary care provider or health system, whereas 26% cancelled an appointment themselves. In terms of breast cancer screening, 16% had their screening visit either cancelled or delayed. Individuals who believed they were at higher risk (and more likely to have shorter interval screening recommendations on this trial) had a higher Odds Ratio (1.66) for a screening cancellation (p & lt;0.001). Those individuals who held the belief that COVID-19 was no more dangerous than the seasonal flu were more likely to have medical visits and routine care in the preceding 2 months than those that did not share that belief. (OR 1.18, p=0.032). Individuals were significantly more worried about COVID-19 than developing breast cancer (43% moderate to severely worried about COVID compared to 8.2% for breast cancer). Those worried about COVID were more likely to have screening cancellation (OR 1.18, P & lt;0.001) and those more worried about breast cancer were less likely to have a screening cancellation (OR. 0.83, P & lt;0.001). Conclusions: Health maintenance, prevention, and specifically breast cancer screening are important, but these health activities have been significantly disrupted due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Given that the pandemic will likely continue for many months until there is either a vaccine, treatment, or herd immunity, it will be important to define the drivers and messages (healthcare and screening) to ensure patients receive proper health maintenance and prevention to reduce the risks associated with other diseases that are not COVID-19. The preliminary data presented as part of this abstract submission are the early results of an effort to develop a predictive model and targeted strategies for communication and intervention for cancer screening during the course of the COVID-19 pandemic.

    Abstract: Background: Large-scale chemoprevention trials validated endocrine risk reduction strategies to lower breast cancer risk. We sought to understand the risk at which women are likely to adopt chemoprevention. A 5-year Gail risk of 1.67% or above is considered elevated risk, and the FDA indication for prescribing chemoprevention. We examined chemoprevention use in the Athena Breast Health Network (Athena), which includes approximately 100,000 women who are screened by mammography at Sanford Health, UC Davis, UC Irvine, UC Los Angeles, UC San Diego, and UC San Francisco. Methods: We calculated the Gail risk score for women who had completed an Athena online intake survey distributed before being seen at screening centers; this survey included questions about chemoprevention usage. First, we analyzed 16,518 surveys of 9,318 unique women without breast cancer or DCIS who received breast cancer screening at UCSF from 2011- 2018 and who consented to research. These women also self-reported use of chemoprevention. We stratified Gail risk scores by a threshold of 1.67%, and by percentiles to identify those women in the top 2.5% by age. We compared current chemoprevention use in these different breast cancer risk strata, and factors associated with its use. An analysis including all 100,000 women in the Athena Network will be presented at SABCS. Results: Overall, at UCSF, 48 of 9,318 women (0.51%) reported current chemoprevention use. The 5-year Gail risk was greater than 1.66% in 3,675 of 9,318 women (39%), of whom 205 (2.2%) were in the top 2.5% of risk by age. Chemoprevention use was reported by 13 of 205 (6.3%) women in the top 2.5% of risk by age (mean Gail risk 5.6%), as compared to 41 of 3,675 (1.1%) who were at Gail above 1.66% (mean Gail = 3.9%). Women in the top 2.5% and those with Gail risk & gt;1.66% were significantly more likely to be using chemoprevention p & lt; 0.01 for each respectively). Chemoprevention uptake was correlated with the joint effect of the top 2.5% of risk by age and increasing Gail score (OR = 10.25; P = 0.009). Preliminary results were consistent among the 100,000 women in the Athena registry (analysis ongoing). In addition, chemoprevention use was more likely in older women (OR = 1.10; P & lt; 0.01, for every year of age) and in those women with Ashkenazi ancestry on both sides of the family compared to none (OR = 2.32; P = 0.02). Race and education were not associated with use of chemoprevention. Discussion: Women with higher Gail scores in the top 2.5% of risk by age are positively associated with current chemoprevention use (6.34%). Importantly, this analysis presents a risk-stratified, population-level risk reduction strategy, using the top 2.5% risk threshold by age. It provides an opportunity to specifically target chemoprevention to women at highest need to reduce their breast cancer risk. In the WISDOM Study (NCT02620852), we are prospectively testing active outreach based on breast cancer risk in the top 2.5% of risk by age, and have developed a breast health decisions aid to standardize communication of risk-reducing options.

    Abstract: With the growth in risk-based and accountable care organization contracts, creating value by redesigning care to reduce costs and improve outcomes and the patient experience has become an urgent priority for health care systems. Approach In 2016, UCLA (University of California, Los Angeles) Health implemented a system-wide population health approach to identify patient populations with high expenses and promote proactive, value-based care. The authors created the Patient Health Value framework to guide value creation: (1) identify patient populations with high expenses and reasons for spending, (2) create design teams to understand the patient story, (3) create custom analytics and spending-based risk stratification, and (4) develop care pathways based on spending risk tiers. Primary care patients with three chronic conditions—dementia, chronic kidney disease (CKD), and cancer—were identified as high-cost subpopulations. Outcomes For each patient subpopulation, a multispecialty, multidisciplinary design team identified reasons for spending and created care pathways to meet patient needs according to spending risk. Larger, lower-risk cohorts received necessary but less intensive interventions, while smaller, higher-risk cohorts received more intensive interventions. Preliminary analyses showed a 1% monthly decrease in inpatient bed day utilization among dementia patients (incident rate ratio [IRR] 0.99, P 〈 .03) and a 2% monthly decrease in hospitalizations (IRR 0.98, P 〈 .001) among CKD patients. Next Steps Use of the Patient Health Value framework is expanding across other high-cost subpopulations with chronic conditions. UCLA Health is using the framework to organize care across specialties, build capacity, and grow a culture for value.

    Abstract: The efficacy of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) convalescent plasma (CCP) for preventing infection in exposed, uninfected individuals is unknown. CCP might prevent infection when administered before symptoms or laboratory evidence of infection. Methods This double-blinded, phase 2 randomized, controlled trial (RCT) compared the efficacy and safety of prophylactic high titer (≥1:320 by Euroimmun ELISA) CCP with standard plasma. Asymptomatic participants aged ≥18 years with close contact exposure to a person with confirmed coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in the previous 120 hours and negative SARS-CoV-2 test within 24 hours before transfusion were eligible. The primary outcome was new SARS-CoV-2 infection. Results In total, 180 participants were enrolled; 87 were assigned to CCP and 93 to control plasma, and 170 transfused at 19 sites across the United States from June 2020 to March 2021. Two were excluded for screening SARS-CoV-2 reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) positivity. Of the remaining 168 participants, 12/81 (14.8%) CCP and 13/87 (14.9%) control recipients developed SARS-CoV-2 infection; 6 (7.4%) CCP and 7 (8%) control recipients developed COVID-19 (infection with symptoms). There were no COVID-19-related hospitalizations in CCP and 2 in control recipients. Efficacy by restricted mean infection free time (RMIFT) by 28 days for all SARS-CoV-2 infections (25.3 vs 25.2 days; P = .49) and COVID-19 (26.3 vs 25.9 days; P = .35) was similar for both groups. Conclusions Administration of high-titer CCP as post-exposure prophylaxis, although appearing safe, did not prevent SARS-CoV-2 infection. Clinical Trials Registration NCT04323800.
