Geriatric Assessment (GA) for Elderly Patients Undergoing Allo-HSCT (GA)

May 9, 2025 updated by: Sun Yuqian, Peking University People's Hospital

Geriatric Assessment (GA) for Elderly Patients Undergoing Allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation: a Prospective Study.

This comprehensive, multidimensional evaluation assesses patient-related factors, disease-related factors, donor-related factors, and treatment-related factors. The study aims to identify potential risk factors influencing transplant outcomes in elderly patients and enhance the outcomes of allo-HSCT.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

This comprehensive, multidimensional evaluation assesses patient-related factors (e.g., age, physical function, and comorbidity index), disease-related factors (e.g., primary diagnosis and blast count), donor-related factors (e.g., donor age, sex, ABO, and type), and treatment-related factors (e.g., conditioning regimen, graft source, and GVHD prophylaxis). The study aims to identify potential risk factors influencing transplant outcomes in elderly patients, establish a comprehensive geriatric assessment model, and guide personalized pre-transplant treatment strategies to reduce transplant-related mortality (TRM). Ultimately, we hope this study could help enhance the outcomes of allogenic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT).

Geriatric Assessment
This is a study held in all patients undergoing allogenic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. Pre-transplant assessment: (1)Patients-related assessment: (a) Age; (b) Functional status (BADL score; IADL score; KPS score; ECOG PS score); (c) Comorbidities (HCT-CI score); (d) Nutritional Status (Body weight; BMI; NRS-2002; MNA-SF; MUST); (e) Psychological Status (SF36-MCS; GDS; PHQ-9; GAD-7); (f) Cognitive Function (MMSE; BMOC); (g) Social Support Level (MOS-SSS; MSPSS); (h) Total Number of Medications Used. (2) Disease-Related Factors Assessment: Primary Disease Diagnosis; ELN Risk Stratification (assessed only for AML patients); Disease Status. (3) Donor-Related Factors Assessment: Donor Age; Donor Sex; Donor-Recipient Blood Type Compatibility; Donor Type; DSA. (4) Treatment-Related Factors Assessment: Conditioning Regimen; GVHD Prophylaxis Regimen; Graft Type.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Transplant-related mortality
Time Frame: From HSCT to the follow-up assessment at 12 months post-treatment.
Transplant-related mortality (TRM) is defined as death due to any transplantation-related cause other than disease relapse. Transplant-related mortality will be calculated using a competing risks model.
From HSCT to the follow-up assessment at 12 months post-treatment.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Engraftment
Time Frame: From HSCT to the follow-up assessment at 12 months post-treatment.
Platelet engraftment was defined as the first of seven consecutive days with a platelet count >20 × 109/L without transfusion support. Neutrophil engraftment was defined as the first of three consecutive days with an ANC > 0.5 × 109/L.
From HSCT to the follow-up assessment at 12 months post-treatment.
GVHD
Time Frame: From HSCT to the follow-up assessment at 12 months post-treatment.
Acute GVHD was classified as symptom presentation before 100 days after haplo-HSCT and chronic GVHD was classified as symptom presentation >100 days after haplo-HSCT. Each organ (skin, liver, and gut) was staged 1 through 4 for Acute GVHD according to modified criteria based on the schema of the Mount Sinai Acute GVHD International Consortium (MAGIC), and patients were also assigned a grade of acute GVHD (I through IV) based on overall severity. Chronic GVHD was graded in accordance with the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Chronic Graft-versus-Host Disease Consensus Criteria.
From HSCT to the follow-up assessment at 12 months post-treatment.
Overall Survival
Time Frame: From HSCT to the follow-up assessment at 12 months post-treatment.
The time from haplo-HSCT to death from any cause in patients with AML. Overall survival will be calculated using the Kaplan-Meier method.
From HSCT to the follow-up assessment at 12 months post-treatment.
Cumulative Incidence of Relapse
Time Frame: From HSCT to the follow-up assessment at 12 months post-treatment.
Relapse was defined as disease recurrence.
From HSCT to the follow-up assessment at 12 months post-treatment.
Disease-Free Survival
Time Frame: From HSCT to the follow-up assessment at 12 months post-treatment.
Disease-free survival (DFS) was defined as the time from transplantation to relapse, disease progression, or death, whichever occurred first.
From HSCT to the follow-up assessment at 12 months post-treatment.
Viral Infection
Time Frame: From HSCT to the follow-up assessment at 12 months post-treatment.
Detection of CMV-DNA and EBV-DNA in peripheral blood twice a week.
From HSCT to the follow-up assessment at 12 months post-treatment.
