Allogeneic Transplantation of Multiple Myeloma Patients May Allow Long-term Survival in Carefully Selected Patients with Acceptable Toxicity and Preserved Quality of Life
Abstract: Despite significantly improved survival and response rates in patients diagnosed with multiple myeloma, it still remains an incurable disease with a poor outcome, especially in high-risk groups. Allogeneic stem cell transplantation offers a potentially curative option but remains controversial due to considerable treatment-related toxicity. We analyzed 109 consecutive myeloma patients who had received reduced-intensity conditioning allogeneic transplantation at the Freiburg University Medical Center between 2000 and 2016. Although most patients were heavily pre-treated in high-risk constellations, the overall response rate was high with 70%, the median overall survival (OS) 39.2%, and the median progression-free survival (PFS) 14.2 months, with a median follow up of 71.5 months. Survival was significantly better in patients with response to previous therapies than in those with progressive disease (median OS 65 vs. 11.5 months, P=0.003; median PFS 18.4 vs. 5.1 months, P=0.001). Moreover, survival of patients transplanted in first-line was significantly prolonged compared to relapsed/refractory disease (median OS not reached vs. 21.6 months, P
Physical Function Endpoints in Cancer Cachexia Clinical Trials: Systematic Review 1 of the Cachexia Endpoints Series
Abstract: In cancer cachexia trials, measures of physical function are commonly used as endpoints. For drug trials to obtain regulatory approval, efficacy in physical function endpoints may be needed alongside other measures. However, it is not clear which physical function endpoints should be used. The aim of this systematic review was to assess the frequency and diversity of physical function endpoints in cancer cachexia trials. Following a comprehensive electronic literature search of MEDLINE, Embase and Cochrane (1990-2021), records were retrieved. Eligible trials met the following criteria: adults (≥18 years), controlled design, more than 40 participants, use of a cachexia interventio...
Multidisciplinary Tumor Board Analysis: Validation Study of a Central Tool in Tumor Centers
Abstract: The established standard to ensure state-of-the-art cancer treatment is through multidisciplinary tumor boards (TBs), although resource- and time-intensive. In this validation study, the multiple myeloma (MM)-TB was reexamined, aiming to validate our previous (2012-2014) results, now using the TB data from March 2020 to February 2021. We assessed MM-TB protocols, physicians' documentation, patient, disease, remission status, progression-free survival (PFS), and overall survival (OS) as left-truncated survival times. Moreover, TB-adherence, level of evidence according to grade criteria, time requirements, study inclusion rates, and referral satisfaction were determined. Within a 1-y...
PathoMaps
Die Leitidee hinter PathoMaps: Pro Organ(-system) eine Übersicht, welche logisch strukturiert und visuell ansprechend ist und dennoch alle relevanten Informationen aus den gängigen Lehrmitteln und aktuellen Referenzwerken zusammenführt. Sozusagen eine orientierende Landkarte für die Pathologien des menschlichen Körpers – darum PathoMaps.
