Assessment of Allogeneic Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation in Medicare Beneficiaries With Multiple Myeloma

August 29, 2023 updated by: Center for International Blood and Marrow Transplant Research

Assessment of Allogeneic Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation in Medicare Beneficiaries With Multiple Myeloma: A Study to Develop Evidence of Effectiveness for the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS)

Multiple myeloma (MM) is the second most common hematologic malignancy in adults. The current standard of care for MM patients fit to undergo high dose conditioning chemotherapy is an autologous HCT (autoHCT). Allogeneic HCT (alloHCT) is the only potentially curative therapy available to patients with MM. However, the significant morbidity and mortality of this procedure historically limited its application in older patients.

Thus, although potentially curative, standard risk MM patients have excellent prognoses in the era of novel therapies which reduces the overall benefit of alloHCT. However, because the outcomes for high-risk MM remain poor despite the best available standard therapies (overall survival of 24-36 months), initial data suggest that alloHCT should be explored in this subset.

Detailed Description

Multiple myeloma (MM) is the second most common hematologic malignancy in adults. Overall survival (OS) in MM has improved significantly in the last 15 years with the emergence of novel therapies such as thalidomide, bortezomib and lenalidomide. The median life expectancy of patients with MM treated in the current era is more than 6 years, while SEER data from a slightly earlier time period (2008-12) estimated the 5 year survival at 48.5%. However, prognosis is not uniform and varies considerably based on a presenting features and response to therapy.

The current standard of care for MM patients fit to undergo high dose conditioning chemotherapy is an autologous HCT (autoHCT). There is controversy regarding the timing of autoHCT after initial novel therapy induction with randomized trials showing similar OS whether done early or delayed to time of relapse as salvage therapy. However, more recent trials comparing early versus delayed transplant support the benefit of early upfront autoHCT.

Allogeneic HCT (alloHCT) is the only potentially curative therapy available to patients with MM. However, the significant morbidity and mortality of this procedure historically limited its application in older patients. Current data from the Center for International Blood and Marrow Research (CIBMTR) show transplant-related mortality rates of 23 (20-26)% at 5 years with myeloablative conditioning.

Thus, although potentially curative, standard risk MM patients have excellent prognoses in the era of novel therapies which reduces the overall benefit of alloHCT. However, because the outcomes for high-risk MM remain poor despite the best available standard therapies (overall survival of 24-36 months), initial data suggest that alloHCT should be explored in this subset.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

  • Child
  • Adult
  • Older Adult

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Sampling Method

Non-Probability Sample

Study Population

A prospective cohort study of approximately 544 patients receiving allogeneic HCT for multiple myeloma in CIBMTR centers in the US matched to a historical control patients treated with autoHCT between 2010 and 2016

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Medicare beneficiary
  • Stage II or III multiple myeloma and/or primary plasma cell leukemia
  • Eligible to receive an allogeneic HCT from any suitable allogeneic donor (as determined by the transplant center) including umbilical cord blood

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
