Current trends and outcomes in cellular therapy activity in the United States, including prospective Patient Reported Outcomes data collection within the CIBMTR registry.

BACKGROUND: Center for International Blood and Marrow Transplant Research (CIBMTR) prepares an annual set of summary slides to detail the trends in transplantation and cellular therapies. For the first time in the 2023 summary slides, CIBMTR incorporates data for patients receiving chimeric antigen receptor T-cell (CAR-T) infusions. In addition, the data on patient-reported outcomes (PROs) is also included. OBJECTIVES: This report aims to update the annual trends in US HCT activity and incorporate data on the use of CAR-T therapies. Here we also aim to present and describe the development, implementation, and current status of the PRO data collection. STUDY DESIGN: In August 2020, CIBMTR launched the Protocol for Collection of Patient Reported Outcomes Data (CIBMTR PRO Protocol). The CIBMTR PRO Protocol operates under a centralized infrastructure to reduce burden to centers. Specifically, PRO data is collected from a prospective convenience sample of adult HCT and CAR-T patients who received treatment at contributing centers and consented for research. Data are merged and stored with the clinical data and used under the governance of the CIBMTR Research Database Protocol. Participants answer a series of surveys developed by the Patient Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System© (PROMIS) focusing on physical, social and emotional, and others measures assessing financial well-being, occupational functioning, and social determinants of health. To complement traditionally measured clinical outcomes, the surveys are administered at the same timepoints that clinical data is routinely collected. RESULTS: As of September 2023, PRO data from 993 patients across 25 different centers has been collected. With the goal of incorporating these important patient perspectives into standard clinical care, CIBMTR has added the PRO data to Data Back to Centers (DBtC). Through expanding the data types represented in the registry, CIBMTR aims to support holistic research accounting for the patient perspective in improving patient outcomes. CONCLUSION: PRO data at CIBMTR aims to provide the foundation for future large scale, population-level evaluations to determine areas for improvement, emerging disparities in access and health outcomes (eg, by age, race, and ethnicity), and new therapies that may impact current treatment guidelines. Continuing to collect and grow the PRO data is critical for understanding these changes and identifying methods for improving patient quality of life.

The Evolution of Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation to Overcome Access Disparities: The Role of NMDP.

NMDP recognizes that despite advances in hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) and other cell therapies, not all patients have equitable access to treatment, and disparities in outcomes remain. This paper explores the recent work of NMDP to accelerate progress and expand access to more patients through transformative clinical research, particularly in the use of mismatched unrelated donors for HSCT.

Measurable Residual FLT3 Internal Tandem Duplication Before Allogeneic Transplant for Acute Myeloid Leukemia.

Importance: Persistence of FLT3 internal tandem duplication (ITD) in adults with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) in first complete remission (CR) prior to allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplant (HCT) is associated with increased relapse and death after transplant, but the association between the level of measurable residual disease (MRD) detected and clinical outcome is unknown. Objective: To examine the association between pre-allogeneic HCT MRD level with relapse and death posttransplant in adults with AML in first CR. Design, Setting, and Participants: In this cohort study, DNA sequencing was performed on first CR blood from patients with FLT3-ITD AML transplanted from March 2013 to February 2019. Clinical follow-up was through May 2022. Data were analyzed from October 2022 to December 2023. Exposure: Centralized DNA sequencing for FLT3-ITD in pre-allogeneic HCT first CR blood using a commercially available kit. Main Outcomes and Measures: The primary outcomes were overall survival and cumulative incidence of relapse, with non-relapse-associated mortality as a competing risk post-allogeneic HCT. Kaplan-Meier estimations (log-rank tests), Cox proportional hazards models, and Fine-Gray models were used to estimate the end points. Results: Of 537 included patients with FLT3-ITD AML from the Pre-MEASURE study, 296 (55.1%) were female, and the median (IQR) age was 55.6 (42.9-64.1) years. Using the variant allele fraction (VAF) threshold of 0.01% or greater for MRD positivity, the results closely aligned with those previously reported. With no VAF threshold applied (VAF greater than 0%), 263 FLT3-ITD variants (median [range] VAF, 0.005% [0.0002%-44%]), and 177 patients (33.0%) with positive findings were identified. Multivariable analyses showed that residual FLT3-ITD was the variable most associated with relapse and overall survival, with a dose-dependent correlation. Patients receiving reduced-intensity conditioning without melphalan or nonmyeloablative conditioning had increased risk of relapse and death at any given level of MRD compared with those receiving reduced-intensity conditioning with melphalan or myeloablative conditioning. Conclusions and Relevance: This study provides generalizable and clinically applicable evidence that the detection of residual FLT3-ITD in the blood of adults in first CR from AML prior to allogeneic HCT is associated with an increased risk of relapse and death, particularly for those with a VAF of 0.01% or greater. While transplant conditioning intensification, an intervention not available to all, may help mitigate some of this risk, alternative approaches will be necessary for this high-risk population of patients who are underserved by the current standard of care.

Optimal Donor Selection Across Multiple Outcomes For Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation By Bayesian Nonparametric Machine Learning.

Allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) is one of the only curative treatment options for patients suffering from life-threatening hematologic malignancies; yet, the possible adverse complications can be serious even fatal. Matching between donor and recipient for 4 of the HLA genes is widely accepted and supported by the literature. However, among 8/8 allele matched unrelated donors, there is less agreement among centers and transplant physicians about how to prioritize donor characteristics like additional HLA loci (DPB1 and DQB1), donor sex/parity, CMV status, and age to optimize transplant outcomes. This leads to varying donor selection practice from patient to patient or via center protocols. Furthermore, different donor characteristics may impact different post transplant outcomes beyond mortality, including disease relapse, graft failure/rejection, and chronic graft-versus-host disease (components of event-free survival, EFS). We develop a general methodology to identify optimal treatment decisions by considering the trade-offs on multiple outcomes modeled using Bayesian nonparametric machine learning. We apply the proposed approach to the problem of donor selection to optimize overall survival and event-free survival, using a large outcomes registry of HCT recipients and their actual and potential donors from the Center for International Blood and Marrow Transplant Research (CIBMTR). Our approach leads to a donor selection strategy that favors the youngest male donor, except when there is a female donor that is substantially younger.

Long-term Outcomes of Peripheral Blood Stem Cell Unrelated Donors Mobilized with Filgrastim.

Allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation is a life-saving procedure used to treat of a variety of devastating diseases. It requires hematopoietic stem cells collected via filgrastim mobilized peripheral blood stem cells or bone marrow harvest from volunteer unrelated donors. There is a paucity of safety data regarding donors' long-term adverse events. This prospective, observational study combined peripheral blood stem cell donors enrolled on the NMDP Investigational New Drug trial and bone marrow donors between July 1, 1999, and September 30, 2015. The primary objective was to describe the long-term incidence of myeloid malignancies. Secondary objectives included describing the long-term incidence of lymphoid malignancies, non-hematologic malignancies, autoimmune disorders, and thrombotic events. 21643 donors (14530 peripheral blood stem cells and 7123 bone marrow) were included. The incidence rate of myeloid disorders per 100000 person years in donors of peripheral blood stem cells was 2.53 (95% CI: 0.82-7.84) and in donors of bone marrow it was 4.13 (95% CI: 1.33-12.8). The incidence rate ratio of peripheral blood stem cells /bone marrow donors was 0.61 (95% CI: 0.12-3.03; p=0.55). The incidence of other malignancies, autoimmunity, and thrombosis did not differ between donor types. This comprehensive study of long-term effects of filgrastim in unrelated donors of peripheral blood stem cells provides strong evidence that donors who receive filgrastim are not at increased risk of these events compared to bone marrow donors. It also provides reassurance to current donors undergoing stem cell mobilization as well as individuals considering joining stem cell registries such as NMDP.

Bone Marrow Harvest: A White Paper of Best Practices by the NMDP Marrow Alliance.

Data on recent bone marrow harvest (BMH) collections from the NMDP has shown that bone marrow (BM) quality has decreased based on total nucleated cell count in the product. To ensure that quality BM products are available to all recipients, the NMDP Marrow Alliance was formed in April 2021 to increase the capability of BM collection centers to safely deliver high-quality products consistently and to identify and disseminate guidelines for performing BMH. This white paper describes the best practices for BMH as defined by the NMDP Marrow Alliance.

Gilteritinib as Post-Transplant Maintenance for AML With Internal Tandem Duplication Mutation of FLT3.

PURPOSE: Allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) improves outcomes for patients with AML harboring an internal tandem duplication mutation of FLT3 (FLT3-ITD) AML. These patients are routinely treated with a FLT3 inhibitor after HCT, but there is limited evidence to support this. Accordingly, we conducted a randomized trial of post-HCT maintenance with the FLT3 inhibitor gilteritinib (ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT02997202) to determine if all such patients benefit or if detection of measurable residual disease (MRD) could identify those who might benefit. METHODS: Adults with FLT3-ITD AML in first remission underwent HCT and were randomly assigned to placebo or 120 mg once daily gilteritinib for 24 months after HCT. The primary end point was relapse-free survival (RFS). Secondary end points included overall survival (OS) and the effect of MRD pre- and post-HCT on RFS and OS. RESULTS: Three hundred fifty-six participants were randomly assigned post-HCT to receive gilteritinib or placebo. Although RFS was higher in the gilteritinib arm, the difference was not statistically significant (hazard ratio [HR], 0.679 [95% CI, 0.459 to 1.005]; two-sided P = .0518). However, 50.5% of participants had MRD detectable pre- or post-HCT, and, in a prespecified subgroup analysis, gilteritinib was beneficial in this population (HR, 0.515 [95% CI, 0.316 to 0.838]; P = .0065). Those without detectable MRD showed no benefit (HR, 1.213 [95% CI, 0.616 to 2.387]; P = .575). CONCLUSION: Although the overall improvement in RFS was not statistically significant, RFS was higher for participants with detectable FLT3-ITD MRD pre- or post-HCT who received gilteritinib treatment. To our knowledge, these data are among the first to support the effectiveness of MRD-based post-HCT therapy.

Return to school practices after hematopoietic cell transplantation: a survey of transplant centers in the United States.

To understand transplant center recommendations on return-to-school timing and related support for hematopoietic cell transplant (HCT) survivors, we conducted a two-phase, cross-sectional, web-based survey: In Phase I, medical directors of pediatric HCT centers from the National Marrow Donor Program/ Be The Match Registry were asked regarding the availability of a return to school standardized operating procedure (SOP). In Phase II, HCT physician members of the Pediatric Transplantation and Cellular Therapy Consortium were approached to study inter-physician practice variability regarding return to school post-HCT, factors affecting their decision-making, and support provided by HCT centers for return to school. Out of 46 respondents in Phase I (55% response rate), 28 (61%) reported having a SOP. Wide variations in recommendations were noted in 12 received SOPs. In Phase II, 122 physicians (60 centers) responded (30.6% response rate). The majority (60%) recommended autologous HCT recipients return to school within 6 months post-HCT but 65% recommended allogeneic HCT recipients return to school after 6 months or once off immunosuppression. Our findings indicate a lack of consensus within and across HCT centers regarding recommended return to school timing and underscore need for a guideline to standardize this process to ensure patient safety and re-integration into school.

A phase 2 trial of CD24Fc for prevention of graft-versus-host disease.

ABSTRACT: Patients who undergo human leukocyte antigen-matched unrelated donor (MUD) allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) with myeloablative conditioning for hematologic malignancies often develop acute graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) despite standard calcineurin inhibitor-based prophylaxis in combination with methotrexate. This trial evaluated a novel human CD24 fusion protein (CD24Fc/MK-7110) that selectively targets and mitigates inflammation due to damage-associated molecular patterns underlying acute GVHD while preserving protective immunity after myeloablative conditioning. This phase 2a, multicenter study evaluated the pharmacokinetics, safety, and efficacy of CD24Fc in combination with tacrolimus and methotrexate in preventing acute GVHD in adults undergoing MUD HSCT for hematologic malignancies. A double-blind, placebo-controlled, dose-escalation phase to identify a recommended dose was followed by an open-label expansion phase with matched controls to further evaluate the efficacy and safety of CD24Fc in preventing acute GVHD. A multidose regimen of CD24Fc produced sustained drug exposure with similar safety outcomes when compared with single-dose regimens. Grade 3 to 4 acute GVHD-free survival at day 180 was 96.2% (95% confidence interval [CI], 75.7-99.4) in the CD24Fc expansion cohort (CD24Fc multidose), compared with 73.6% (95% CI, 63.2-81.4) in matched controls (hazard ratio, 0.1 [95% CI, 0.0-0.6]; log-rank test, P = .03). No participants in the CD24Fc escalation or expansion phases experienced dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs). The multidose regimen of CD24Fc was well tolerated with no DLTs and was associated with high rates of severe acute GVHD-free survival after myeloablative MUD HSCT. This trial was registered at ClinicalTrials.gov as #NCT02663622.

Expanding donor options: haploidentical transplant recipients are also highly likely to have a 7/8-matched unrelated donor.

ABSTRACT: The use of haploidentical related donor (HRD) hematopoietic cell transplants (HCTs) in the United States grew by more than fourfold in the last decade, driven mainly by use of posttransplant cyclophosphamide (PTCy)-based graft-versus-host-disease prophylaxis. However, not all patients have a suitable HRD available. In this study, we explored the existence of unrelated donors (URDs) on the National Marrow Donor Program (NMDP) registry at the 8/8- or 7/8-match level for patients receiving HRD HCT in the United States and reporting to the Center for International Blood and Marrow Transplant Research between 2013 and 2020. The data consist of 9696 HRD HCT recipients. The NMDP search prognosis score and a search simulation were used to estimate counts of URD matches on the registry. NMDP search prognosis varied by patient ancestry, with 27.5% non-Hispanic White having a good score compared with 4.6% of African American HRD HCT recipients. Overall, 34% of recipients had ≥1 8/8-matched URDs and 84% had ≥1 7/8 URDs. Recipients of older HRDs (≥35 years) had a likelihood of between 20%- 65% of having ≥5 existing 7/8-matched URDs who were aged ≤35 years. Donor-selection practices varied among the 10 highest-volume HRD centers: 6 had >20% chance of an existing 8/8-matched URD for their HRD recipients, whereas 4 centers had low likelihood of identifying an 8/8-matched URD. In conclusion, although most US patients undergoing HRD HCT do not have an existing 8/8 URD, the majority have an existing 7/8-matched URD. Studies comparing outcomes in patients receiving either HRD or 7/8-matched URD HCT and PTCy-based graft-versus-host disease prophylaxis may be warranted.

The effect of increased collect pump rate on collection efficiency in hematopoietic progenitor cell collection by apheresis in allogeneic adult donors-A single center analysis.

BACKGROUND: Optimizing CD34 recovery while minimizing harm to hematopoietic progenitor cell donors by apheresis (HPC(A) donors) is critical to the success of allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation. We examined the efficacy and safety of starting allogeneic HPC(A) donors at a collect pump rate (CPR) of 2 mL/min on the Spectra Optia regardless of the inlet flow rate and/or pre-apheresis white blood cell (WBC) count (high CPR group). STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS: A single-center retrospective study was performed on allogeneic adult donors from 10/2020 to 12/2022. From 10/2020 to 6/19/2022, all donors had CPR of ~1 mL/min (historical group). High CPR group started 6/20/2022. RESULTS: During the study period, 412 donors were in historical group versus 196 (32.2%) in high CPR group. Median CD34 collection efficiency (CE) was higher and more consistent in high CPR group (55.1% vs. 53% in historical group, p < .0001) and remained significant in multivariate analysis. Although product volume was higher in high CPR group, WBC, hematocrit, and platelet concentrations were significantly lower. No difference in engraftment outcomes in patients receiving products from two groups was observed. Moreover, no differences occurred in a significant peri-procedural adverse event or percent decrease in platelets (6.87% decrease in platelets per 100 × 106 CD34 cells collected versus 6.66% in historical group, p = .89). Furthermore, high CPR group had ~26 min less in collection time for every 100 × 106 CD34 cells collected, resulting in less positive fluid balances. CONCLUSIONS: Starting allogeneic HPC(A) donor collection at a CPR of 2 mL/min is safe and effective.

Existence of HLA-Mismatched Unrelated Donors Closes the Gap in Donor Availability Regardless of Recipient Ancestry.

In patients without a matched sibling donor (MSD) or well-matched unrelated donor (MUD), hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) can still be successful when using an HLA-mismatched unrelated donor (MMUD) in combination with post-transplantation cyclophosphamide (PTCy), abatacept, or other novel approaches. This may allow clinicians to choose a suitable donor from a wide range of donor options while optimizing other donor selection characteristics, including donor age. We hypothesized that allowing for a 5/8 HLA match level considering high-resolution matching at HLA-A, -B, -C and -DRB1, there is a potential to close the donor availability gap for all patients regardless of their race/ethnicity. In this work, we estimate the likelihood of matching for all racial/ethnic groups at different HLA match thresholds. Our study aimed to assess the potential for identifying an available MUD or MMUD in the National Marrow Donor Program (NMDP)/Be The Match (BTM) donor registry for 21 detailed and 5 broad racial/ethnic groups, using high-resolution HLA matching for HLA-A, -B, -C, and -DRB1 at various levels (8/8, 7/8, 6/8, and 5/8). We used donor registry population data from the NMDP/BTM in 2020 and redistributed the donor registry data according to existing population ratios, accounting for demonstrated donor availability. Finally, we used a genetic model at the population level to estimate the match likelihood for detailed and broad racial/ethnic groups. Likelihood of 8/8 HLA match ranging from 16% to 74% were obtained for various detailed racial/ethnic groups with available donors age ≤35 years. When considering more mismatches in the HLA loci, registry coverage became >99% with a 5/8 HLA match level for donors of all ages or those age ≤35 years, with HLA-DPB1 T cell epitope permissive matching, or when searching for donors outside of their racial/ethnic group. Our registry models demonstrate the potential for using MMUDs at various HLA match levels to study whether this will expand access to HCT across racial/ethnic groups. Expanded donor options may erase the donor availability gap for all patients while allowing for selection of MMUDs with favorable characteristics, such as younger age.

Measurable Residual IDH1 before Allogeneic Transplant for Acute Myeloid Leukemia.

Measurable residual disease (MRD) in adults with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) in complete remission is an important prognostic marker, but detection methodology requires optimization. The persistence of mutated NPM1 or FLT3-ITD in the blood of adult patients with AML in first complete remission (CR1) prior to allogeneic hematopoetic cell transplant (alloHCT) has been established as associated with increased relapse and death after transplant. The prognostic implications of persistence of other common AML-associated mutations, such as IDH1, at this treatment landmark however remains incompletely defined. We performed testing for residual IDH1 variants (IDH1m) in pre-transplant CR1 blood of 148 adult patients undergoing alloHCT for IDH1-mutated AML at a CIBMTR site between 2013-2019. No post-transplant differences were observed between those testing IDH1m positive (n=53, 36%) and negative pre-transplant (overall survival: p = 0.4; relapse: p = 0.5). For patients with IDH1 mutated AML co-mutated with NPM1 and/or FLT3-ITD, only detection of persistent mutated NPM1 and/or FLT3-ITD was associated with significantly higher rates of relapse (p = 0.01). These data, from the largest study to date, do not support the detection of IDH1 mutation in CR1 blood prior to alloHCT as evidence of AML MRD or increased post-transplant relapse risk.

Estimating the Lifetime Medical Cost Burden of an Allogeneic Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation Patient.

Allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (allo-HCT) has the potential for curative outcomes for a variety of hematologic malignancies. Current allo-HCT studies often describe the outcomes and costs in the near term; however, research on the lifetime economic burden post-allo-HCT remains limited. This study was conducted to estimate the average total lifetime direct medical costs of an allo-HCT patient and the potential net monetary savings from an alternative treatment associated with improved graft-versus-host disease (GVHD)-free, relapse-free survival (GRFS). A disease-state model was constructed using a short-term decision tree and a long-term semi-Markov partitioned survival model to estimate the average per-patient lifetime cost and expected quality-adjusted life years (QALYs) for an allo-HCT patient from a US healthcare system perspective. Key clinical inputs included overall survival, GRFS, incidence of both acute and chronic GVHD, relapse of the primary disease, and infections. Cost results were reported as ranges based on varying the percentage of chronic GVHD patients that remained on treatment after 2 years (15% or 39%). Over a lifetime, the average per-patient medical cost of allo-HCT was estimated to range from $942,373 to $1,247,917. The majority of the costs were for chronic GVHD treatment (37% to 53%), followed by the allo-HCT procedure (15% to 19%). The expected lifetime QALYs of an allo-HCT patient were estimated as 4.7. Lifetime per-patient treatment costs often exceed $1,000,000 for allo-HCT patients. Innovative research efforts focused on the reduction or elimination of late complications, particularly chronic GVHD, may provide the greatest value to improved patient outcomes.

Reducing barriers of access and care related to hematopoietic cell transplantation and cellular therapy: The mission-driven role of the national marrow donor program.

The treatment of malignant and nonmalignant hematologic disorders continues to benefit from significant scientific advancement and progress in the use of hematopoietic cell transplantation and cellular therapies. However, barriers associated with receiving these lifesaving treatments and care remain, which necessitate innovative approaches to overcome, so all persons in need can receive these therapies. This article reviews barriers to receiving hematopoietic cell transplantation and cellular therapies, and highlights novel approaches taken by the National Marrow Donor Program in reducing barriers for all patients in need.

Clinical impact of cryopreservation of allogeneic hematopoietic cell grafts during the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic.

At the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, the National Marrow Donor Program mandated the cryopreservation of hematopoietic cell grafts from volunteer unrelated donors because of numerous patient and donor safety concerns and logistical hurdles. Using the Center for International Blood and Marrow Transplant Research outcomes database, we report the impact of cryopreservation on overall survival (OS) and other outcomes within 1 year after hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT). We analyzed 1543 recipients of cryopreserved allografts receiving HCT at US centers during the first 6 months of the pandemic and compared them with 2499 recipients of fresh allografts during a 6-month period in 2019. On multivariable regression analysis, we observed no difference in the OS (P = .09), nonrelapse mortality (P = .89), graft-versus-host disease (GVHD), or GVHD- and relapse-free survival (P = .58) in recipients of cryopreserved vs fresh allografts. Disease-free survival (DFS) was lower in the cryopreserved allograft recipients (P = .006) because of a higher risk of relapse (P = .01) compared with the fresh allograft recipients. Primary graft failure was higher (P = .01), and the risk of chronic GVHD was lower (P = .001) with cryopreservation compared with fresh grafts. In conclusion, although there was no negative impact of cryopreservation on OS, relapse was higher, and DFS was lower than that with no cryopreservation. Fresh grafts are recommended as the pandemic-related logistical hurdles resolve. Cryopreservation should be considered an option for patients when fresh grafts are not feasible.

Patient-Reported Outcomes in Long-Term Survivors of Autologous Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation in Multiple Myeloma.

The overall survival in patients with transplantation-eligible multiple myeloma has tripled over the past 2 decades, leading to a growing population of myeloma survivors. However, there is a paucity of data on health-related quality of life (HRQoL), distress, and health behaviors in long-term myeloma survivors who are in stable remission after autologous hematopoietic cell transplantation (AHCT). In this cross-sectional study using data from 2 randomized controlled trials of survivorship care plans and internet-based self-management intervention in transplantation survivors, the primary objective was to measure HRQoL (using the Short Form-12, version 2.0 [SF-12 v2]), distress (using the Cancer- and Treatment-Related Distress [CTXD] instrument), and health behaviors of myeloma survivors in stable remission after AHCT. A total of 345 patients at a median of 4 years (range, 1.4 to 11 years) post-AHCT were included. The mean SF-12 v2 Physical Component Summary (PCS) score was 45.5 ± 10.5, and the mean Mental Component Summary (MCS) score was 51.3 ± 10.1, compared with US population norms of 50 ± 10 for both (P < .001 and P = .021 for PCS and MCS comparisons, respectively). Notably, neither reached the threshold for a minimal clinically important difference. Approximately one-third of the patients had clinically significant distress based on the CTXD total score, with distress reported by 53% of the patients in the Health Burden domain, by 46% in the Uncertainty domain, by 33% in the Finances domain, by 31% in the Family Strain domain, by 21% in the Identity domain, and by 15% in the Medical Demands domain. Preventive care guidelines were adhered to by 81% of the myeloma survivors; however, adherence to exercise and diet guidelines were relatively low, at 33% and 13%, respectively. Myeloma AHCT survivors in stable remission have no clinically meaningful worsening in physical functioning compared with the general population. Survivorship programs should address ongoing distress due to health burden, uncertainty, and finances in myeloma survivors, along with evidence-based targeted interventions for modifiable health behaviors, such as nutrition and exercise.
