    Abstract: e22525 Background: Many childhood cancer survivors have been exposed to hepatotoxic agents. We assessed longitudinal hepatic injury, using alanine aminotransferase (ALT) elevation, and associated factors in a large cohort of long-term survivors. Methods: We evaluated SJLIFE participants ( 〉 10 years post-diagnosis, age ≥18 years) who had two or more determinations of ALT (T1 baseline, T2 last evaluation). Elevated ALT was defined as ALT 〉 Upper Limit of Normal (ULN, 30 IU/mL for males and 19 IU/mL for females). Elastic net was used to perform model selection for elevated ALT at T2. Modified Poisson regression was used to identify risk factors for elevated ALT at T2. Results: Serial ALT assessments were available for 1941 survivors (49.6% female, 82.2% non-Hispanic white [NHW]). Their median age at diagnosis and T1 were 7.6 years (interquartile range [IQR] = 3.4-13.5) and 31.7 years (IQR = 26.1-38.1), respectively. Elapsed time from diagnosis to T1, and T1 to T2, were 23.3 years (IQR = 17.8-29.6) and 5.2 years (IQR = 4.4-5.7). ALT was normal at T1 and T2 in 45.7%, and persistently (25.9%) or newly (11.7%) abnormal in 37.6%. Compared to those with normal ALT at T1, those with elevated ALT at T2 were more likely to have NHW race/ethnicity, treatment with busulfan, increasing volume of the liver exposed to 10 Gray (Gy) or more (V10), body mass index (BMI) 〉 25 kg/m 2 , hepatitis C, metabolic syndrome, or treatment with atorvastatin, rosuvastatin or simvastatin at T2. History of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT), but not busulfan, were additional risk factors included in the models for V15 and V20 (Table). Conclusions: Demographic, treatment, lifestyle, and non-oncologic interventions increase the risk for ALT elevation in survivors. These results may guide future treatment designs and lifestyle interventions. [Table: see text]

    Abstract: Some cooperative groups have found a survival disadvantage in black children with various childhood cancers. We examine the effects of race on clinical outcomes among children with Hodgkin's lymphoma (HL) treated with contemporary therapy at a tertiary care children's hospital. Patients and Methods Retrospective analysis of 327 children and adolescents diagnosed with HL between 1990 and 2005. Patients were treated with risk-directed multimodal therapy regardless of race, ethnicity, or ability to pay. Event-free and overall survival rates were compared for black and white children. Clinical characteristics, socioeconomic factors, and biologic features were analyzed for prognosis of treatment failure. Results The 262 white and 65 black patients did not differ significantly in presenting features, clinical characteristics, or enrollment in a clinical trial. More black patients (71% v 45%) resided in poor counties (P 〈 .001). While black and white children were equally likely to have progressive disease or early relapse, black children were 3.7 times (95% CI, 1.7 to 8.0) more likely to relapse 12 months or more after diagnosis. The 5-year event-free survival was 71% ± 6.1% (SE) for black and 84% ± 2.4% for white children (P = .01). However, the 5-year survival rate did not differ between white and black children (94.4% v 94.7%). While black race and low hemoglobin concentration were independent predictors of treatment failure, only low hemoglobin concentration independently predicted poor survival. Conclusion Black children with Hodgkin's lymphoma have lower event-free survival than white children, but both populations have the same 5-year overall survival.

    Abstract: To determine the influence of race/ethnicity on outcomes in the Childhood Cancer Survivor Study (CCSS). Patients and Methods Of CCSS adult survivors in the United States, 443 (4.9%) were black, 503 (5.6%) were Hispanic and 7,821 (86.6%) were white. Mean age at interview, 26.9 years (range, 18 to 48 years); mean follow-up, 17.2 years (range, 8.7 to 28.4 years). Late mortality, second malignancy (SMN) rates, health care utilization, and health status and behaviors were assessed for blacks and Hispanics and compared with white survivors. Results Late mortality rate (6.5%) and 15-year cumulative incidence of SMN (3.5%) were similar across racial/ethnic groups. Minority survivors were more likely to have lower socioeconomic status (SES); final models were adjusted for income, education, and health insurance. Although overall health status was similar, black survivors were less likely to report adverse mental health (females: odds ratio [OR], 0.6; 95% CI, 0.4 to 0.9; males: OR, 0.5; 95% CI, 0.3 to 0.8). Differences in health care utilization and behaviors noted: Hispanic survivors were more likely to report a cancer center visit (females: OR, 1.5; 95% CI, 1.1 to 2.0; males: OR, 1.7; 95% CI, 1.2 to 2.3); black females were more likely (OR, 1.6; 95% CI, 1.1 to 2.4), and Hispanic females less likely to have a recent Pap smear (OR, 0.7; 95% CI, 0.5 to 1.0); black and Hispanic survivors were less likely to report smoking; black survivors were less likely to report problem drinking. Conclusion Adjusted for SES, adverse outcomes in CCSS were not associated with minority status. Importantly, black survivors reported less risky behaviors and better preventive practices. Hispanic survivors had equitable access to cancer related care.

    Abstract: One of the adverse effects of therapy for acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is osteonecrosis of the hip. Putative risk factors for osteonecrosis have included being female, white race, and older age. Our goal was to define possible genetic risk factors for osteonecrosis among children treated for newly diagnosed ALL. Methods Using a candidate gene approach, we determined the genotypes for 16 common polymorphisms in genes likely to affect the pharmacokinetics or pharmacodynamics of antileukemic medications in 64 children with ALL. Therapy included glucocorticoids and antifolates. Magnetic resonance imaging of both hips was used to diagnose osteonecrosis, and was performed at similar times from the start of ALL therapy (P = .61) in the 25 patients with and the 39 patients without osteonecrosis (median, 447 days and 443 days, respectively). Results In addition to age older than 10 years (odds ratio [OR], 24.2; P = .0001) and white race (OR, 11.1; P = .037), host factors for osteonecrosis included the vitamin D receptor FokI start site CC genotype (OR, 4.5; P = .045), and the thymidylate synthase low activity 2/2 enhancer repeat genotype (OR, 7.4; P = .049). Conclusion Because folate-related and vitamin D–receptor genetic variants have been associated with bone and vasculature morbidity, these pharmacogenetic associations likely reflect the interaction of antileukemic medications with germline sensitivity to drug actions, and might identify ALL patients at highest risk to develop osteonecrosis.

    Abstract: Two phase II studies assessed the efficacy of vismodegib, a sonic hedgehog (SHH) pathway inhibitor that binds smoothened (SMO), in pediatric and adult recurrent medulloblastoma (MB). Patients and Methods Adult patients enrolled onto PBTC-025B and pediatric patients enrolled onto PBTC-032 were treated with vismodegib (150 to 300 mg/d). Protocol-defined response, which had to be sustained for 8 weeks, was confirmed by central neuroimaging review. Molecular tests to identify patterns of response and insensitivity were performed when tissue was available. Results A total of 31 patients were enrolled onto PBTC-025B, and 12 were enrolled onto PBTC-032. Three patients in PBTC-025B and one in PBTC-032, all with SHH-subgroup MB (SHH-MB), exhibited protocol-defined responses. Progression-free survival (PFS) was longer in those with SHH-MB than in those with non-SHH–MB, and prolonged disease stabilization occurred in 41% of patient cases of SHH-MB. Among those with SHH-MB, loss of heterozygosity of PTCH1 was associated with prolonged PFS, and diffuse staining of P53 was associated with reduced PFS. Whole-exome sequencing identified mutations in SHH genes downstream from SMO in four of four tissue samples from nonresponders and upstream of SMO in two of four patients with favorable responses. Conclusion Vismodegib exhibits activity against adult recurrent SHH-MB but not against recurrent non-SHH–MB. Inadequate accrual of pediatric patients precluded conclusions in this population. Molecular analyses support the hypothesis that SMO inhibitor activity depends on the genomic aberrations within the tumor. Such inhibitors should be advanced in SHH-MB studies; however, molecular and genomic work remains imperative to identify target populations that will truly benefit.

    Abstract: 9527 Background: With 5-year survival of childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) now exceeding 90%, long term morbidities are of growing concern. Both low bone mineral density (BMD) and renal dysfunction have been reported in ALL survivors. Our objective was to evaluate the association between low BMD and incidental renal stones, a known predictor of renal dysfunction. Methods: Adult participants who were 10+ year survivors of childhood ALL and members of St. Jude Lifetime Cohort study were recruited between 12/2007 and 3/2011. During their risk-based medical evaluations they underwent quantitative computed tomography (QCT) to evaluate BMD. Incidental renal stones were identified by radiologists’ review of axial QCT source images. Demographic information was abstracted from responses to health surveys and dietary intake from a Block food frequency questionnaire. Association between BMD and renal stones was evaluated in a multivariable logistic regression model. Confounding variables were selected using directed acyclic graphs and change in effect estimates strategy. Results: At a median of 26.1 years from diagnosis, BMD Z score of 〉 1 standard deviation (SD) was detected in 77/662 (11.6%) and renal stones in 73/662 (11%) participants. In a multivariable model adjusted for age, dietary vitamin D and renal radiation, when compared to BMD Z score 〉 1 SD, the risk of renal stones increased with a decrease in BMD Z-score; 1 to 0 SD (Odds Ratio (OR), 1.93; 95% confidence interval (CI), 0.69 to 5.41), 0 to -1 SD (OR, 1.46; 95% CI, 0.52 to 4.05), -1 to -2 SD (OR, 2.72; 95% CI, 0.81 to 6.41), and ≤ -2 SD (OR, 4.96; 95% CI, 1.43 to 17.13). Older age (45-54 vs.18-24 y; OR, 3.66; 95% CI, 1.10 to 12.15), renal radiation (OR, 1.97; 95% CI, 0.59 to 6.50) and 〉 141.5 IU intake of vitamin D (OR, 1.65; 95% CI, 0.98 to 2.77) were also associated with renal stone formation. Conclusions: Our results not only help us recognize survivors at risk, but also informs radiologists to be vigilant of incidental renal stones among older ALL survivors with low BMD.

    Abstract: 10567 Background: We assessed hepatic injury (HI) in a large cohort of childhood cancer survivors (CCS). Methods: We measured aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) in 2751 SJLIFE CCS ( 〉 10 years (yrs) post-diagnosis, age ≥18 yrs), and graded using the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) v 4.03. Multivariable log binomial regression was used to estimate associations between demographic and clinical factors and grades 1–4 ALT and AST. Variables with a p 〈 0.1 were examined in multivariable models. Results: 1339 (48.7%) CCS were female. 2271 (82.6%) were non-Hispanic white (NHW). Median age at diagnosis - 7.4 yrs, median age at evaluation - 31.4 yrs, and median time from diagnosis to evaluation - 23.2 yrs. 177 (6.4%) had grades 1-4 AST (grade 1 = 164, grade 2 = 9, grade 3 = 4), and 421 (15.3%) had grades 1-4 ALT (grade 1 = 394, grade 2 = 18, grade 3 = 8). The multivariable results are shown in the table below. Conclusions: Male gender, obesity, hepatitis C virus infection, and treatment with busulfan are risk factors for increased AST and ALT. V10 is an additional risk factor for increased ALT. These results may guide future treatment designs and lifestyle interventions. [Table: see text]

    Abstract: To develop and validate prediction models for low and very low bone mineral density (BMD) on the basis of clinical and treatment characteristics that identify adult survivors of childhood cancer who require screening by dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry. PATIENTS AND METHODS White survivors of childhood cancer (n = 2,032; median attained age, 29.3 years [range, 18.1 to 40.9 years]) enrolled in the St Jude Lifetime Cohort (SJLIFE; development) and survivors treated at the Erasmus Medical Center (validation) in the Netherlands (n = 403; median age, 24.2 years [range, 18.0 to 40.9 years] ) were evaluated with dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry to determine lumbar spine BMD and total-body BMD. Low and very low BMD were defined as lumbar spine BMD and/or total-body BMD z scores of −1 or lower or −2 or lower, respectively. Multivariable logistic regression was used to build prediction models; performance was assessed using receiver operating characteristic curves. Diagnostic values were calculated at different probabilities. RESULTS Low BMD was present in 51% and 45% of SJLIFE and Dutch participants, respectively, and very low BMD was present in 20% and 10%, respectively. The model for low BMD included male sex (odds ratio [OR], 3.07), height (OR, 0.95), weight (OR, 0.98), attained age (OR, 0.97), current smoking status (OR, 1.48), and cranial irradiation (OR, 2.11). Areas under the curve were 0.72 (95% CI, 0.70 to 0.75) in the SJLIFE cohort and 0.69 (95% CI, 0.64 to 0.75) in the Dutch cohort. The sum of the sensitivity (69.0%) and specificity (64.0%) was maximal at the predicted probability of 50%. The model for very low BMD included male sex (OR, 3.28), height (OR, 0.95), weight (OR, 0.97), attained age (OR, 0.98), cranial irradiation (OR, 2.07), and abdominal irradiation (OR, 1.61), yielding areas under the curve of 0.76 (95% CI, 0.73 to 0.78; SJLIFE cohort) and 0.75 (95% CI, 0.67 to 0.83; Dutch co hort). CONCLUSION Validated prediction models for low and very low BMD, using easily measured patient and treatment characteristics, correctly identified BMD status in most white adult survivors through age 40 years.
