Abstract
OBJECTIVE To explore patterns in Medicare reimbursement for wasted oncologic and hematologic infusion drugs from 2017 to 2020 and estimate the savings that implementation of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) would have had. METHODS Using the publicly available Medicare Part B Discarded Drug Units database, we analyzed reimbursement data for discarded antineoplastic and hematology therapies from 2017 to 2020. RESULTS Medicare Part B utilization data was extracted for 77 therapies. From 2017 to 2020, the median annual dollar value of discarded therapies was $590 million. Every year, bortezomib, azacitidine, cabazitaxel, and decitabine were among the most wasted products, an average 24% waste. The IIJA policy would have impacted a median of 20 oncology agents and resulted in median annual refund of $172 million. Had the top five most discarded therapies been redistributed, they could have treated 18,289 patients. The five most wasted drugs were all dosed by weight and distributed in single-use vials. CONCLUSION The IIJA could potentially significantly reduce waste or encourage redistribution to treat thousands of additional patients. We propose that a fusion of fixed and weight-based dosing may help reduce wasteful medication administration by offering doses that better accommodate most patients. We anticipate that manufacturers will adapt to the IIJA perhaps by adjusting fixed doses or simply increasing drug prices. If price changes from dose delivery adjustment occur, rebates offered to pharmacy benefit managers and insurers will likely follow suit and may alter formulary positioning.

Abstract
Vacuoles, E1 enzyme, X-linked, autoinflammatory, somatic (VEXAS) syndrome is caused by somatic mutations in UBA1 (UBA1mut) and characterized by heterogenous systemic autoinflammation and progressive hematologic manifestations, meeting criteria for myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) and plasma cell dyscrasias. The landscape of myeloid-related gene mutations leading to typical clonal hematopoiesis (CH) in these patients is unknown. Retrospectively, we screened 80 patients with VEXAS for CH in their peripheral blood (PB) and correlated the findings with clinical outcomes in 77 of them. UBA1mut were most common at hot spot p.M41 (median variant allele frequency [VAF] = 75%). Typical CH mutations cooccurred with UBA1mut in 60% of patients, mostly in DNMT3A and TET2, and were not associated with inflammatory or hematologic manifestations. In prospective single-cell proteogenomic sequencing (scDNA), UBA1mut was the dominant clone, present mostly in branched clonal trajectories. Based on integrated bulk and scDNA analyses, clonality in VEXAS followed 2 major patterns: with either typical CH preceding UBA1mut selection in a clone (pattern 1) or occurring as an UBA1mut subclone or in independent clones (pattern 2). VAF in the PB differed markedly between DNMT3A and TET2 clones (median VAF of 25% vs 1%). DNMT3A and TET2 clones associated with hierarchies representing patterns 1 and 2, respectively. Overall survival for all patients was 60% at 10 years. Transfusion-dependent anemia, moderate thrombocytopenia, and typical CH mutations, each correlated with poor outcome. In VEXAS, UBA1mut cells are the primary cause of systemic inflammation and marrow failure, being a new molecularly defined somatic entity associated with MDS. VEXAS-associated MDS is distinct from classical MDS in its presentation and clinical course.

Abstract
BackgroundVacuoles, E1 enzyme, X-linked, autoinflammatory, somatic (VEXAS) syndrome is a recently identified disorder caused by somatic mutations in the UBA1 gene of myeloid cells. Various manifestations of pulmonary involvement have been reported, but a detailed description of lung involvement and radiologic findings is lacking.ObjectivesTo describe lung involvement in VEXAS syndrome.MethodsA retrospective cohort study was conducted of all patients identified at the Mayo Clinic with VEXAS syndrome since October 2020. Clinical records and chest high resolution computed tomography (HRCT) scans were reviewed.ResultsOur cohort comprised 22 white men with a median age of 69 years (IQR 62-74, range 57-84). Hematologic disorders including multiple myeloma, myelodysplastic syndrome and pancytopenia were present in 10 patients (45%), rheumatologic diseases including granulomatosis with polyangiitis, IgG4-related disease, polyarteritis nodosa, relapsing polychondritis, and rheumatoid arthritis were found in 10 patients (45%), and 4 patients had dermatologic presentations including Sweet syndrome, Schnitzer-like syndrome or drug rash with eosinophilia skin syndrome (DRESS). VEXAS syndrome-related features included fever (18, 82%), skin lesions (20, 91%), lung infiltrates (12, 55%), chondritis (10, 45%), venous thromboembolism (12, 55%), macrocytic anemia (21, 96%), and bone marrow vacuoles (21, 96%). Other manifestations observed were arthritis, scleritis, hoarseness and hearing loss. Median erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) was 69 mm/1st hour (IQR 34.3-118.8) and median C-reactive protein (CRP) of 55.5 mg/dL (IQR 11.4-98.8). The somatic mutations affecting methionine-41 (p.Met41) in UBA1 gene were: 11 (50%) p.Met41Thr, 7 (32%) p.Met41Val, 2 (9%) p.Met41Leu, and 2 (9%) in the splice site. All patients received glucocorticoids (GC) (median duration of treatment was 2.6 years); 21 (96%) received conventional immunosuppressive agents (methotrexate, azathioprine, mycophenolate, leflunomide, cyclosporin, hydroxychloroquine, tofacitinib, ruxolitinib) and 9 (41%) received biologic agents (rituximab, tocilizumab, infliximab, etanercept, adalimumab, golimumab, abatacept). Respiratory symptoms included dyspnea and cough present in 21 (95%) and 12 (55%), respectively, and were documented prior to VEXAS diagnosis. Most of the patients were non-smokers (14, 64%) and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) was present in 11 patients (50%). Seven patients (32%) used non-invasive ventilation, 6 used C-PAP, and 1 used Bi-PAP. Bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) was available in 4 patients, and the findings were compatible with neutrophilic alveolitis in 3. Two patients had lung biopsies (2 transbronchial and 1 surgical) that showed ATTR amyloidosis and organizing pneumonia with lymphoid interstitial pneumonia, respectively. Pulmonary function tests were available in 9 (41%) patients and showed normal results in 5; 3 patients had isolated reduction in DLCO and 1 with mild restriction. On chest HRCT, 16 patients (73%) had parenchymal changes including ground-glass opacities in 9, septal thickening in 4, and nodules in 3; pleural effusions were present in 3 patients, air-trapping in 3 patients and tracheomalacia in 1 patient. Follow-up chest HRCT was available for 8 patients (36%), the ground-glass opacities resolved in 5 patients, 3 patients manifested new or increased ground-glass opacities, and 1 patient had increased interlobular septal thickening. After 1 year of follow-up, 4 patients (17%) had died; 3 due to pneumonia (2 COVID-19,1 bacterial) and 1 due to heart failure. VEXAS flares occurred in 18 patients (82%), the maximum number of relapses was 7, and they were mainly managed with GC and with changes in the immunosuppressive regimen.ConclusionPulmonary involvement was documented by chest HRCT in most patients with VEXAS syndrome. Respiratory symptoms occurred in over one half of patients and about 20% had PFT abnormalities. The pulmonary manifestations of VEXAS are nonspecific and characterized predominantly by inflammatory parenchymal involvement.Disclosure of InterestsNone declared

Abstract
Germline predisposition syndromes (GPS) result from constitutional aberrations in tumor suppressive and homeostatic genes, increasing risk for neoplasia in affected kindred. In this study, we present clinical and genomic data on 144 Mayo Clinic patients with GPS; 59 evaluated prospectively using an algorithm-based diagnostic approach in the setting of a dedicated GPS/ inherited bone marrow failure syndrome (IBMFS) clinic. Seventy-two (50%) patients had IBMFS (telomere biology disorders-32,Fanconi anemia-18, Diamond Blackfan Anemia - 11, congenital neutropenia-5, Schwachman-Diamond Syndrome-5 and Bloom Syndrome-1), 27 (19%) had GPS with antecedent thrombocytopenia (RUNX1-FPD-15, ANKRD26-6, ETV6-2, GATA1-1, MPL-3), 28 (19%) had GPS without antecedent thrombocytopenia (GATA2 haploinsufficiency-16, DDX41-10, CBL-1 and CEBPA-1) and 17 (12%) had general cancer predisposition syndromes (ataxia telangiectasia-7, heterozygous ATM variants-3, CHEK2-2, TP53-2, CDK2NA-1, NF1-1 and Nijmegen Breakage Syndrome-1). Homozygous and heterozygous ATM pathogenic variants were exclusively associated with lymphoproliferative disorders (LPD), while DDX41 GPS was associated with LPD and myeloid neoplasms. The use of somatic NGS-testing identified clonal evolution in GPS patients, with ASXL1, RAS pathway genes, SRSF2 and TET2 being most frequently mutated. Fifty-two (91%) of 59 prospectively identified GPS patients had a change in their management approach, including additional GPS-related screening in 42 (71%), referral for allogenic HSCT workup and screening of related donors in 16 (27%), medication initiation and selection of specific conditioning regimens in 14 (24%), and genetic counseling with specific intent of fertility preservation and preconceptual counseling in 10 (17%) patients; highlighting the importance of dedicated GPS screening, detection and management programs for patients with hematological neoplasms.

Abstract
Multiple myeloma (MM) remains an incurable disease despite incorporation of novel agents. Venetoclax, a B-cell lymphoma 2 (BCL-2) inhibitor is approved for some hematologic malignancies but not yet for MM, although clinical trials have shown efficacy in patients with MM, particularly those harboring t(11;14). We reviewed the medical records of relapsed and/or refractory MM patients to study the efficacy and safety of venetoclax used outside of clinical trials at Mayo Clinic between December, 2016 and March, 2019. The data cut-off date was August 06, 2020. We identified 56 patients of whom 42 (75%) harbored t(11;14). The median number of prior therapies was six (range 1-15) and 14% of patients had received ≥10 prior lines of therapy. Fifty-three (95%) patients were refractory to an immunomodulatory drug and proteasome inhibitor. Venetoclax was used as monotherapy or doublet, in combination with dexamethasone in 55% (n = 31) and a triplet or quadruplet in 45% of patients. No patient experienced tumor lysis syndrome. Overall response rate in 52 evaluable patients was 44%. The median time to best response was 2 months and median duration of response was 13.6 months. The median PFS for the entire cohort was 5.8 (95% CI 4.9-10.3) months and median OS was 28.4 (95% CI 14.6-not reached) months. The presence of t(11;14) was associated with improved PFS (median 9.7 months vs. 4.2 months, p = 0.019) and OS (median not reached vs. 10.8 9 months, p = 0.015). Venetoclax demonstrates encouraging activity in heavily-treated patients with relapsed/refractory MM, particularly the t(11;14) patient-population.

Abstract
Background: The level of scientific evidence in National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) guidelines for malignant hematological conditions haven't been recently investigated. We describe the distribution of categories of evidence and consensus (EC) among the 10 most common hematologic malignancies with regard to recommendations for staging, initial and salvage therapy, and surveillance. Methods: We reviewed the level of evidence for the 10 most common hematological malignancies by incidence in the United States as of 2020. The NCCN definitions for EC are: category 1, high level of evidence, such as randomized controlled trials, with uniform consensus; category 2A, lower level of evidence with uniform consensus; category 2B, lower level of evidence without a uniform consensus but with no major disagreement; and category 3, any level of evidence but with major disagreement. We compared our results with previously published results from 2011. Results: Of 1353 recommendations, 5%, 91%, 4%, and 1% fell into EC categories 1, 2A, 2B, and 3, respectively, while in 2011 the comparable percentages were 3%, 93%, 4%, and 0%, respectively. Recommendations with category 1 EC were found in all guidelines, except for Burkitt lymphoma. Of all therapeutic recommendations, 6.3% were category 1 EC, with the majority of these (56.4%) pertaining to initial therapy. Guidelines with highest proportions of therapeutic recommendations with category 1 EC were multiple myeloma (12.4%), chronic lymphocytic leukemia/small lymphocytic lymphoma (6.9%), and acute myeloid leukemia (5.6%). Conclusions: Recommendations in the 2020 NCCN guidelines are largely developed from lower levels of evidence but with uniform expert opinion, underscoring the urgent need and available opportunities to expand the current evidence base in malignant hematological disorders.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Multiple myeloma (MM) is a heterogeneous clonal plasma cell disorder leading to differences in clinical outcomes such as overall survival (OS) among patients. We hypothesized that with expensive, novel therapeutic agents and paradigm shifts to maintain continuous therapy and improvement in OS, patients with MM are subject to the pressures of financial toxicity and the need for social support, which may be of prognostic importance. MATERIALS AND METHODS In this study, we examined the records of 122,458 patients from the National Cancer Database (NCDB) to determine the significance of socioeconomic factors such as estimated annual household income and education level, which were based on the patient's ZIP Code and the United States Census Bureau's 5-year report from 2008 to 2012. These socioeconomic factors, in addition to marital status, were then assessed individually and as a cumulative socioeconomic score for prognostic significance in a cohort of 2543 patients treated at a tertiary care center utilizing known biologic risk factors, such as cytogenetic risk, International Staging System classification, and serum lactate dehydrogenase levels. RESULTS Only marital status and estimated annual household income at diagnosis negatively impacted OS in a univariate analysis, but not in the context of a multivariable analysis incorporating known biologic risk factors. CONCLUSION Future analyses in other academic and non-academic centers located in urban and rural regions are required to understand the socioeconomic drivers of OS disparity among patients with MM observed nationally.

Abstract
Induction therapy for multiple myeloma with bortezomib (Velcade), lenalidomide (Revlimid), and dexamethasone (d) (VRd) was traditionally administered as bortezomib given twice weekly on a 3 week cycle. A modified schedule of weekly bortezomib has been adopted over time to decrease treatment burden for patients and reduce treatment-emergent neuropathy. This study evaluates the response rates and outcomes with different schedules of bortezomib in VRd administered for first-line treatment for patients with newly diagnosed MM (NDMM). We retrospectively analyzed patients treated with upfront VRd from June 30th 2008 to December 31st 2018, for variations of bortezomib administration. Five hundred and fifty-five (555) NDMM patients met inclusion criteria; median age 63 years and 61% men. Bortezomib was administered twice weekly every 21 days in 43%, once weekly every 21 days in 41% and once weekly every 28 days in 16%. Though peripheral sensory neuropathy was more frequent with twice weekly dosing (P = .002), this group achieved shorter time to best response (P = .01). Weekly every 21-day treatment saw higher VGPR or better rates (P = .02). However, with median follow up time of 37 months (IQR 22-56), we found no difference in PFS or OS among the groups. While small differences in response rates were found among the varying administration schedules of bortezomib administration, there was no significant effect on PFS or OS. Given that VRd remains a first line standard of care option for newly diagnosed MM, in the absence of a large trial comparing bortezomib dosing schedule modifications, these results are helpful in supporting current practices of once weekly administration.

Abstract
In 2015 the Food and Drug Administration approved filgrastim-sndz (Zarxio), the first US biosimilar. Following rapid uptake, by March 2018 filgrastim-sndz accounted for 47 percent of filgrastim administrations among commercially insured and 42 percent among Medicare Advantage beneficiaries. The initial cost difference between the originator and biosimilar was 31 percent in the former population but negligible in the latter.

Abstract
In the presence of effective treatment options for systemic light chain (AL) amyloidosis, autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) is sometimes deferred after stem cell collection. We designed this retrospective study to compare overall survival (OS) between patients who proceed directly to ASCT after stem cell collection and those who defer ASCT. We included patients with AL amyloidosis who had stem cell collection at Mayo Clinic, Minnesota, from 2004 to 2018. ASCT was considered "early" if performed within 90 days of collection, and "deferred" if performed after 90 days, or not done by last follow up. We included 651 patients; 527 underwent early ASCT and 124 deferred ASCT. There was no difference in OS with early vs. deferred ASCT (median OS: 13.0 vs. 11.4 years, respectively, P = 0.28). There was no difference in OS between the 2 groups among patients with early or advanced Mayo Stage. Among patients who achieved ≥very good partial response at the time of collection, OS in the early and deferred groups was 14.2 and 13.4 years, respectively (P = 0.06). Survival outcomes are similar with early and deferred ASCT. Further studies are needed to identify patients who would benefit from each approach.

Abstract
The diagnosis of primary plasma cell leukemia (pPCL) has been made by quantifying circulating plasma cells (cPCs) morphologically on a peripheral blood (PB) smear. However, this technique is not sufficiently sensitive. Multiparametric flow cytometry (MFC) provides a readily available and highly sensitive method to identify and quantify cPCs that could complement PB smear assessment. However, an optimal quantitative cutoff for cPCs by MFC to identify pPCL has not been established. Thus, a total of 591 patients newly diagnosed multiple myeloma (NDMM) patients who had their PB samples evaluated morphologically by PB smear, and immunophenotypically by MFC prior to beginning therapy were evaluated. The presence of ≥200 cPCs/μL by MFC (N = 25 or 5% of the total population) was chosen to identify patients with ≥5% cPCs by PB smear with a specificity of 99% and a sensitivity of 77%. For patients with ≥200 cPCs/μL by MFC compared to the remainder of the cohort, the median Time to next therapy (TTNT) was 18 vs 30 months and the median OS was 38 vs 70 months respectively. Thus, MFC assessment of PB can be utilized in conjunction with the morphological assessment of a PB smear to aid in improving the identification of pPCL among NDMM patients.

Abstract
Histological transformation in Waldenström macroglobulinemia (WM) is an uncommon complication, with limited data, particularly regarding the impact of MYD88 L265P mutation on transformation. We examined risk factors and outcomes associated with transformation in WM, highlighting the role of MYD88 L265P mutation. Patients with WM seen at Mayo Clinic, Rochester, USA and University Hospital of Reims, France, between 01/01/1996 and December 31, 2017 were included; 50 (4.3%) of 1147 patients transformed to a high-grade lymphoma, with median time-to-transformation of 4.5 (range 0-21) years in the transformed cohort. The MYD88 L265P mutation status was known in 435/1147 (38%) patients (406 with non-transformed WM and 29 patients in transformed cohort). On multivariate analysis, MYD88 WT status alone was an independent predictor of transformation (odds ratio, 7[95%CI: 2.1-23]; P = .003). Additionally, the MYD88 WT status was independently associated with shorter time-to-transformation (HR 7.9 [95%CI: 2.3-27; P = .001]), with a 5-year transformation rate of 16% for MYD88 WT vs 2.8% with MYD88 L265P mutated patients. Patients with transformation demonstrated a significant increase in risk of death compared to patients who did not transform (HR 5.075; 95%CI: 3.8-6.8; P < .001). In conclusion, the MYD88 WT status is an independent predictor of transformation and associated with a shorter time-to-transformation. Additionally, transformation conferred an inferior overall survival in patients with WM.

Abstract
Objective: Erdheim- Chester disease (ECD) is a rare form of non-Langerhans cell histiocytosis characterized by multisystem tissue infiltration of foamy histiocytes. Very few studies have investigated the prevalence of endocrine abnormalities in patients with ECD. Based on limited data, it is known that endocrine manifestations are not uncommon. The objective of this study was to characterize the extent of endocrine gland involvement and hormonal function abnormalities in the largest reported endocrine cohort of patients with ECD. Design: Retrospective chart review study of patients with ECD evaluated at the Mayo Clinic from January 1990 to June 2018. A tissue biopsy confirming the diagnosis of ECD was necessary for inclusion in this study. In all cases, the diagnosis of ECD was confirmed using clinical criteria in conjunction with histopathologic findings. Clinical, laboratory, and imaging data were collected. Results: Eighty-three patients with confirmed ECD were included in our study (71.1% women, 83.1% Caucasian, median age at time of diagnosis 55.2[46.3-66.1]). Symptom onset preceded the diagnosis by a median time of 2.7[1.0-6.9] years. Forty-eight patients (57.8%) had at least one hormonal deficiency. Central diabetes insipidus (25.3%) was the most common endocrine manifestation at initial presentation. Fifty percent of patients with central diabetes insipidus had at least one co-existent anterior pituitary deficiency at presentation, most commonly hypogonadism (40%). Among patients that had further endocrine evaluation, 16/64 (25.0%) had primary hypothyroidism and 7/64 (10.9%) had central hypothyroidism. 7/34 (20.3%) had central secondary adrenal insufficiency and 2/34 (5.8%) had primary adrenal insufficiency. Central hypogonadism was found in 18/31 (58.1%) of patients, whereas 6/31 (19.4%) had primary hypogonadism. Growth hormone deficiency was found in 7/59 (29.7%) patients and 4/27 (14.8%) patients had hyperprolactinemia. Imaging revealed involvement of the pituitary/hypothalamus in 18 (21.7%) patients, adrenal glands in 18 (21.7%) patients and testicles in 5 (6.0%) patients. Thirty-five patients (42.2%) had at least one gland involved seen on imaging, Visible gland infiltration did not correlate with hormonal deficiencies. New hormonal deficits appeared during follow-up. Conclusions: This is the largest case series of endocrine manifestations in patients with ECD. Endocrine involvement is frequent in these patients, 57.8% have at least one hormonal deficiency. Because endocrine abnormalities can evolve throughout the course of the disease, patients should have endocrine evaluation periodically.

Abstract
The use of race and ethnicity in biomedical research has been a subject of debate for the past three decades. Initially the two major race categories were: White and Black, leaving other minorities uncounted or inappropriately misclassified. As the science of health disparities evolves, more sophisticated and detailed information has been added to large databases. Despite the addition of new racial classifications, including multi-racial denominations, the quality of the data is limited to the data collection process and other social misconceptions. Although race is viewed as an imposed or ascribed status, ethnicity is an achieved status, making it a more challenging variable to include in biomedical research. Ambiguity between race and ethnicity often exists, ultimately affecting the value of both variables. To better understand specific health outcomes or disparities of groups, it is necessary to collect subgroup-specific data. Cultural perceptions and practices, health experiences, and susceptibility to disease vary greatly among broad racial-ethnic groups and requires the collection of nuanced data to understand. Here, we provide an overview of the classification of race and ethnicity in the United States over time, the existing challenges in using race and ethnicity in biomedical research and future research directions.

Abstract
Detection of myeloma progression (PD) relies on serial 24-h urinary M protein measurements in patients without measurable serum M spike. We examined whether serial difference free light chain (dFLC) levels could be used as a surrogate for serial 24-h urine M protein measurements in monitoring for PD in patients with baseline measurable urine M protein. We studied 122 patients who had serial measurement of urine M protein and serum FLC and had demonstrated PD. The median increase in dFLC with progression as defined by urine M spike was 110% (IQR: 55-312) and median absolute increase was 74 mg/dL; while 89% of patients had dFLC increase ≥ 25%, 94% had absolute increase in dFLC > 10 mg/dL, and 98% met at least 1 of these 2 criteria at PD. In patients with baseline measurable serum FLC (n = 118), 89% had increase in dFLC ≥ 25%, 97% had dFLC increase of > 10 mg/dL, and 98% had 1 of the 2. We conclude that serial dFLC assessments can be used in place of serial 24-h urine protein assessments during myeloma surveillance to monitor for PD. Once patients have an absolute increase in dFLC of >10 mg/dL from the nadir, a 24-h urine collection can then be assessed to document PD as per the International Myeloma Working Group criteria.

Abstract
Abstract
Background: Multiple myeloma (MM) accounts for approximately 1% of all cancers and 10% of hematologic malignancies in the United States (U.S.). MM occurs in all races, but the incidence in African Americans is two to three times higher than in non-Hispanic whites. MM is also slightly more frequent in men than women (1.4:1). Many clinical trials lack appropriate representation of specific patient populations, limiting the generalizability of the evidence obtained. Therefore, we determined the representation of ethnic minorities, the elderly, and women in MM clinical trials.
Methods: Enrollment data from all therapeutic trials reported as completed in clinicaltrial.gov from 2000 to 2016 were analyzed. Clinical trials including other hematologic malignancies and with recruitment outside of the U.S. were excluded. Enrollment fraction (EF) was defined as the number of enrollees divided by the 2013 SEER database MM complete prevalence. Chi-square test was used to estimate differences in categorical data.
Results: Out of 177 MM clinical trials (CT), 78 (44%) reported ethnicity with a total of 12,055 enrollees. Regarding enrollees' ethnic composition, 84% were non-Hispanic White (NHW), 8.6% African American (AA), 2.8% Asian, 1.8% Hispanic, and 0.1% Native American/Alaskan Indian. Out of those 78 CT, 52 (66%) were phase II, 15 (19%) phase III, and 11 (14%) phase I. Most of the results were published from 2012 to 2016 (74%). Forty-six (59%) trials were sponsored by industry, 7 (9%) by NCI, and 25 (32%) were investigator initiated. Participation in CT varied significantly across ethnic groups, NHW were more likely to be enrolled in CT (EF of 0.23) than AA (EF of 0.08, p < 0.0001) and Hispanics (EF of 0.05, p< 0.0001). Males had a higher recruitment rate than females (58% vs. 42%), but this could be explained by the higher incidence of MM in males. Enrollees' median age was 62 years. Younger patients (< 65 years) were more likely to be enrolled in CT than the elderly (66% vs. 34%, p<0.0001). Industry-sponsored trials were less likely to recruit AA compared with investigator-initiated trials (7.6% vs. 12%, p<0.01).
Conclusions: Despite the higher incidence of MM in African Americans and the elderly, the former only represented 8.6% of the study participants and 66% of these were less than 65 years of age; therefore, we are lacking data in the tolerability of these new agents in our aging MM population. We also observed that industry studies were less likely to recruit AA patients. Collaborations between investigators, sponsors, and the community are necessary to increase our minority and elderly patients' access to clinical trials.

Abstract
Abstract
Background: In stage IV non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), survival has significantly improved with the use of novel therapies and better supportive care. Despite such trends, it has been noted that patients (pts) frequently refuse cancer treatment. Therefore, we explored the factors associated with treatment refusal in pts with stage IV NSCLC.
Methods: Utilizing the National Cancer Database (NCDB), we identified all incident cases with stage IV NSCLC from 2004 to 2014. Patients who received cancer treatment outside of the reporting facility or died before receiving treatment were excluded. Multivariable logistic regression models were used to determine associations with treatment refusal.
Results: A total of 341,993 pts were identified. On average, 5.4% of pts refused radiation therapy and 10.3% refused chemotherapy despite provider recommendations. The proportion of pts refusing radiation and chemotherapy increased over the study period from 4.2% to 7.3% and 7.9% to 15%, respectively (p<0.001 for both). In multivariable analysis, men were less likely to refuse radiation or chemotherapy compared to women (OR: 0.82, 95%CI: 0.76-0.83, p<0.001; OR: 0.84, 95%CI: 0.81-0.86, p<0.001, respectively). Factors associated with radiation therapy refusal included: Medicaid or Medicare as primary insurance (OR: 1.95, 95%CI: 1.76-2.15, p<0.001; OR: 1.25, 95%CI: 1.17-1.34, p<0.001, respectively) or a >2 Charlson Comorbidity Index (OR: 1.97, 95%CI: 1.85-2.10, p<0.001). Moreover, receiving care at an academic center (OR: 0.57, 95%CI: 0.53-0.62, p<0.001) was associated with less likelihood of refusing radiation. Regarding chemotherapy, uninsured pts (OR: 2.45, 95%CI: 2.26-2.66, p<0.001), pts with Medicaid as primary insurance (OR: 2.17, 95%CI: 2.03-2.32, p<0.001) or with a high comorbidity index (OR: 1.76, 95%CI: 1.68-1.84, p<0.001) were more likely to refuse chemotherapy. Contrary to findings from previous studies, Non-Hispanic Blacks and Hispanics were less likely to refuse chemotherapy compared to non-Hispanic whites (OR: 0.86, 95%CI: 0.82-0.91, p<0.001; OR: 0.78, 95%CI: 0.72-0.89, p<0.001). Patients receiving care at an academic center and residing in high income neighborhoods were less likely to refuse chemotherapy (OR: 0.76, 95%CI: 0.72-0.80, p<0.001; OR: 0.76, 95%CI: 0.71-0.81, p<0.001, respectively). Distance from residence to treating facility and living in a rural county did not affect treatment refusal.
Conclusions: Socioeconomic factors rather than race/ethnicity appear to influence refusal of cancer treatment in pts with stage IV NSCLC in the NCDB. Assessing socioeconomic challenges should be an essential part of patients' evaluation when discussing treatment options.

Abstract
Multiple myeloma (MM) occurs in all races, but the incidence in non-Hispanic black patients (NHBs) is two to three times higher than in non-Hispanic white patients (NHWs). We determined the representation of minorities and elderly patients in MM clinical trials. Enrollment data from all therapeutic trials reported in ClinicalTrials.gov from 2000 to 2016 were analyzed. Enrollment fraction (EF) was defined as the number of trial enrollees divided by the 2014 MM prevalence. Participation in MM clinical trials varied significantly across racial and ethnic groups; NHWs were more likely to be enrolled in clinical trials (EF 0.18%) than NHBs (EF 0.06%, p < .0001) and Hispanic patients (EF 0.04%, p < .0001). The median age of trial participants was 62 years, with 7,956 participants (66%) being less than 65 years of age. Collaborations between investigators, sponsors, and the community are necessary to increase access to clinical trials to our minority and elderly patients.

Abstract
We studied 190 patients with smoldering multiple myeloma (SMM) at our institution between 1973 and 2014. Evolving change in monoclonal protein level (eMP) was defined as ⩾10% increase in serum monoclonal protein (M) and/or immunoglobulin (Ig) (M/Ig) within the first 6 months of diagnosis (only if M-protein ⩾3 g/dl) and/or ⩾25% increase in M/Ig within the first 12 months, with a minimum required increase of 0.5 g/dl in M-protein and/or 500 mg/dl in Ig. Evolving change in hemoglobin (eHb) was defined as ⩾0.5 g/dl decrease within 12 months of diagnosis. A total of 134 patients (70.5%) progressed to MM over a median follow-up of 10.4 years. On multivariable analysis adjusting for factors known to predict for progression to MM, bone marrow plasma cells ⩾20% (odds ratio (OR)=3.37 (1.30-8.77), P=0.013), eMP (OR=8.20 (3.19-21.05), P<0.001) and eHb (OR=5.86 (2.12-16.21), P=0.001) were independent predictors of progression within 2 years of SMM diagnosis. A risk model comprising these variables was constructed, with median time to progression of 12.3, 5.1, 2.0 and 1.0 years among patients with 0-3 risk factors respectively. The 2-year progression risk was 81.5% in individuals who demonstrated both eMP and eHb, and 90.5% in those with all three risk factors.

Abstract
Purpose Retreatment with bortezomib (B) is often considered for patients with relapsed multiple myeloma (MM), but this strategy is hindered by uncertainty of response and emergence of B-induced peripheral neuropathy (PN). We incorporated acetyl-l-carnitine (ALCAR) to prevent PN and allow for adequate dosing. We also investigated the correlation between B-inducible NF-κB activation and response to therapy. Methods Nineteen patients with relapsed/refractory MM received up to 8 cycles of intravenous bortezomib, doxorubicin and oral low-dose dexamethasone (BDD) to evaluate response and toxicity. Thirteen additional patients received prophylactic ALCAR (BDD-A). Patients receiving BDD-A were evaluated by FACT-GOG-TX, FACIT-Fatigue, Neuropathic Pain index (NPI) and Grooved Pegboard (GP) testing. Primary MM cells from 11 patients were tested for B-inducible NF-κB activation. Results Seventy-six percent of subjects were refractory to previous treatment, 39 % refractory to bortezomib. Median cycles received were 5. CR + PR for the entire group were 53 % and did not differ between groups. Incidence of ≥3 PN was 32 % in the BDD group versus 15 % in the BDD-A group (p = ns). Patient-reported fatigue and PN measured by FACT-GOG-TX increased throughout the treatment period in the BDD-A group, although time to complete GP testing declined. In a sub-study examining constitutive bortezomib-inducible NF-κB activity in primary subject-specific MM cells, the presence of NF-κB activation correlated with lower likelihood of response. Conclusions Addition of ALCAR to BDD did not alter the incidence or severity of PN in relapsed MM patients receiving a B-based regimen. Bortezomib-inducible NF-κB activation in patient-derived primary MM cells may be associated with poorer response.

Abstract
There are no systematic data regarding nonmaintained induction for those patients with multiple myeloma (MM) who do not receive consolidative autologous stem cell transplantation. Of 173 patients with newly diagnosed MM treated with lenalidomide and dexamethasone (LenDex) as primary therapy, 31 patients had their lenalidomide discontinued for reasons other than progression or alternate therapy. Median progression free survival (PFS) from the time of discontinuing lenalidomide was longer in patients who received lenalidomide ≥ 1 year (39 vs. 13 months, P < 0.05); there was no difference in PFS for those treated for 1-2 years as compared to ≥ 2 years. Among those taking lenalidomide for ≥ 1 year PFS was superior in patients who were in very good partial response (VGPR) or better as compared to those with partial response (48.4 versus 14.8 months, P < 0.05). All patients who progressed and were rechallenged with LenDex responded. These analyses illustrate that discontinuation of lenalidomide after 1 year among those patients achieving a ≥VGPR can result in long-term disease control.

Abstract
An investigation of Morinda citrifolia roots afforded a new anthraquinone, 2-ethoxy-1-hydroxyanthraquinone (1), along with five other known anthraquinones: 1-hydroxy-2-methylanthraquinone (2), damnacanthal (3), nordamnacanthal (4), 2-formyl-1-hydroxyanthraquinone (5) and morindone-6-methyl-ether (6). This is the first report on the isolation of morindone-6-methyl-ether (6) from this plant. The structures of these compounds were elucidated based on spectroscopic analyses such as NMR, MS and IR. Biological evaluation of five pure compounds and all the extracts against the larvae of Aedes aegypti indicated 1-hydroxy-2-methylanthraquinone (2) and damnacanthal (3) were the extracts to exhibit promising larvicidal activities.

Abstract
9553 Background: The oldest old, defined as people age ≥ 85 years, in the U.S. is projected to double from 4.3 million in 2000 to 9.6 million in 2030. Since cancer is the number one cause of death, it is critical to assess the current and projected cancer burden in this population. Methods: We obtained data from the Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results (SEER) program. We included patients who had a previous cancer before age 85, but excluded benign tumors, myeloproliferative, and myelodysplastic neoplasms. Incidence was reported per 100,000 person years and age-adjusted to the 2000 U.S. standard population. For current statistics, we included years 2001–2005. Trend analyses were based on 1973–2005 data. Results: The oldest old represents 7.2% of annual new cancers cases diagnosed and 10.5% of cancer deaths in the U.S. The 10 leading cancers by incidence (both sexes and decreasing order) are colorectal (388.9), lung (287.7), breast (250), prostate (211.5), urinary bladder (162.5), non-Hodgkin lymphoma (110.9), leukemia (85.1), melanoma (65), renal (46.4), and uterine (40.2). The incidences of melanoma, non-Hodgkin lymphoma, renal, and lung cancers are increasing, while those of leukemia, prostate, breast, and colorectal cancers are decreasing. The top 5 causes of cancer deaths are lung and bronchus (21%), colorectal (15%), pancreatic (7.1%), prostate (5.9%), and breast cancers (5.3%). Cancer specific survival (CSS) has been increasing continuously since 1973 for melanoma, non-Hodgkin lymphoma, breast, colorectal, prostate, and urinary bladder cancers but decreasing in recent years for colorectal, breast, prostate, and uterine cancers. CSS for leukemia, lung, renal, and uterine cancers showed no change over time. If the current incidence trends for each cancer continue in a linear fashion, it is projected, using 1973–2005 data, that in 2030, the oldest old will represent 8.8% of annual new cancers cases diagnosed and 13.6% of cancer deaths. Conclusions: Cancer incidence and mortality trends in the oldest old differ from the general population. Because the oldest old are likely to have multiple co-morbid conditions, there is a need to find better ways to diagnose and treat cancers in this unique segment of the population. No significant financial relationships to disclose.

Abstract
17064 Background: The National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) provides yearly updated guidelines for the management of patients diagnosed with small cell lung cancer (SCLC). Compliance to clinical guidelines may improve patient care and outcome, but this may vary among institutions. In this study, we determined the compliance of our community cancer center to the NCCN guidelines in patients with SCLC. Methods: We identified patients with newly diagnosed SCLC in 2004 and 2005 using our cancer registry database. Using the NCCN guideline for the corresponding years, we determined the compliance rate for the following phases of cancer care: initial evaluation (pathology review, imaging, smoking cessation counseling, mediastinal staging for T1-T2 limited disease), and treatment (chemotherapy, radiation). Results: There were 39 new patients with SCLC, 14 (35.9%) of which had limited stage disease. The overall compliance rates for initial evaluation and treatment were 33.3%, and 92.3%, respectively. A total of 32 deviations were identified: 21 (65.6%) for neglecting smoking cessation counseling, 7 (21.9%) for not performing recommended imaging, 3 (9.4%) for not giving recommended chemotherapy and/or radiation and 1 (3.1%) for not reviewing outside pathology. In all of the imaging and treatment deviations, there were medically appropriate reasons for doing so: 7 patients with limited disease had PET/CT scan instead of CT/bone scan (PET/CT scan now incorporated into the 2006 guidelines); 2 patients with limited disease did not receive concurrent chemoradiotherapy due to poor performance status and co-morbidity; 1 patient with extensive disease refused chemotherapy. Conclusion: Our compliance with NCCN guidelines for SCLC was poor for initial evaluation, but better for treatment. The primary reasons for this outcome were the lack of a perceived benefit in smoking cessation counseling and the use of PET/CT scanning as the initial imaging modality of choice. No significant financial relationships to disclose.

Abstract
This study assesses the influence of several malaria risk factors and volunteer health worker (VHW) accessibility on parasite prevalence and treatment-seeking in a remote area of Mindanao, the Philippines. An anti-malaria program in the area seeks to devolve malaria diagnosis and treatment to the VHWs. Firstly, the relationship between malaria and demographic factors, bednet use, and access to treatment was investigated. Secondly, adults from villages with and without resident VHWs were questioned on historical and proposed treatment-seeking for fever and the capacity of the communities to support more health workers was assessed. Parasite prevalence was significantly higher among patients living in villages lacking a resident VHW (adjusted OR=3.88, p=0.02), where proposed delays in consulting VHWs and the official health service, and the use of alternative medicine, were also significantly higher. Kinship or social closeness to VHWs appears to play a role in accessibility. The educational and economic requirements demanded of VHWs impede potential expansion of the program to non-serviced villages. If the effectiveness and equity of community-based treatment strategies is to be increased, increased flexibility allowing use of local, less-educated, drug dispensers needs to be considered.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To compare the efficacies of remote symptom-based diagnosis of malaria, rapid diagnostic tests and microscopy in an area of low endemicity in the Philippines. METHODS In Trial I, 350 symptomatic patients were tested within their villages using malaria Plasmodium falciparum (Pf)/Plasmodium vivax (Pv) immunochromatographic tests (ICT tests) and blood films stored and read under local conditions. The slides were later restained and read. In Trial II, unsupervised volunteer barangay health workers prepared ICT tests and slides after brief training. These slides were read at rural health units. Twenty-seven barangay health workers and 72 community members were later questioned about the three diagnostic strategies. FINDINGS A history of fever alone was sensitive (95.4%) but poorly specific (16.5%) for predicting parasitaemia. The inclusion of other symptoms reduced the sensitivity to below 85%, while specificity remained low. The axillary temperature was poorly predictive. ICT tests achieved high sensitivity (97.9%) but many cases indicated as positive by ICT tests were negative by microscopy. Further analysis of these cases in Trial I indicated that ICT tests were detecting low-level parasitaemias missed by microscopy, and that local microscopy had poor accuracy. ICT tests were well accepted and accurately performed by barangay health workers. CONCLUSION These tests meet a strong desire in the community for blood-based diagnosis and may increase the compliance and treatment-seeking behaviour of patients.

Abstract
Two recent case-control studies have suggested a strong association of a missense polymorphism in exon 2 of the cathepsin D gene (CTSD) and Alzheimer disease (AD). However, these findings were not confirmed in another independent study. We analyzed this polymorphism in two large and independent AD study populations and did not detect an association between CTSD and AD. The first sample was family-based and included 436 subjects from 134 sibships discordant for AD that were analyzed using the sibship disequilibrium test (SDT, p = 0.68) and the sib transmission/disequilibrium test (Sib-TDT, p = 0.81). The second sample of 200 AD cases and 182 cognitively normal controls also failed to show significant differences in the allele or genotype distribution in cases versus controls (chi2, p = 0.91 and p = 0.88, respectively). In addition, two-point linkage analyses in an enlarged family sample (n = 670) did not show evidence for linkage of the chromosomal region around CTSD. Thus, our analyses on more than 800 subjects suggest that if an association between the CTSD exon 2 polymorphism and AD exists, it is likely to be smaller than previously reported.

Abstract
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a genetically complex and heterogeneous disorder. To date, a large number of candidate genes have been associated with the disease, however none of these findings has been consistently replicated in independent datasets. In this study we report the results of family-based analyses for polymorphisms of five such candidates on chromosomes 2 (interleukin-1beta, IL-1B), 3 (butyrylcholinesterase, BCHE), 11 (cathepsin D, CTSD; Fe65, APBB1) and 12 (lipoprotein receptor-related protein-1, LRP1) that were all suggested to be associated with AD in recent case-control studies. To minimize the possibility of spurious findings due to population admixture, we used a family-based design applying the sibship disequilibrium test (SDT) as well as two-point parametric linkage analyses on families from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) Genetics Initiative. Contrary to the initial reports, none of the polymorphisms that were analyzed showed evidence for association or linkage with AD in our families. Our results suggest that the previously reported associations from case-control studies are either (a) false positive results, e.g. due to type I error or population admixture, (b) smaller than initially proposed, or (c) due to linkage disequilibrium with an as yet unidentified polymorphism nearby.
