Reduction in transplant-related mortality will be less than any increase in relapse rates associated with reduced intensity conditioning.

Genetic assignment between allogeneic transplant (related & unrelated) and no transplant
Must survive minimum time frame
Total AML enrolled: N = 2000
Unrelated Donor: N ~ 216
No Donor: N ~ 120
Endpoint: Survival at 3 years.
Power: 80% to detect a 15% difference. Selection of High-Risk AML Patients Based on CytogeneticsSlide *Selection of High-Risk AML Patients Based on CytogeneticsLogistics and FeasibilitySlide *Logistics and FeasibilityRequires Intergroup collaboration
Requires timely cytogenetics testing, HLA typing and donor search

Bone marrowThe Needs and the Barriers*The Needs and the BarriersThere are at least 10,000 U.S. candidates annually for unrelated donor transplantation
NMDP has set a goal of 10,000 transplants in 2015 (perhaps 8,000 of these would be in the U.S.)
Barriers to meeting this goal, include referral timing, graft availability, financial issues, space and personnel shortages, etc.
One of the most significant barriers, however, is having the processes and systems that can support this level of activity The Phoenix Initiative*The Phoenix InitiativeAn effort to transform the way we operate and manage the donor and patient processes
Provide more and better information
Provide quicker and better access to the worldwide pool of donors and cord blood units
Provide more predictability, reduce the pain of
Unavailable donors
Untimely results
Surprises and last minute “revelations”
Meet the transplant center’s timelineChanges to the Process*Changes to the ProcessPut all the donors and all the CBUs in a single view
Merge the NMDP, Cooperative Registry and BMDW lists
Provide information on DC, CBB or coop registry identity and performance
Implement a “donor readiness” score
Pre-contact adult donors who are on the search
Facilitate communication between TCs and DC/CBB
Reduce paper, increase e-communications, and increase viewability of online search-related documents
Summary and Conclusions*Summary and ConclusionsMany critical questions in transplantation can only be addressed in multicenter clinical trials
BMT CTN in collaboration with the cancer cooperative groups provides a structure for answering complex questions
The availability of alternative donors – unrelated adult, umbilical cord blood units and mismatched family members – extends transplant options to most potential candidates
To optimize the use of alternative donors and meet the growing demand, new approaches for search and donor management are needed Go Online for More Information on Allogeneic Transplantation!Go Online for More Information on Allogeneic Transplantation!Virtual Presentations on advances in risk stratification, role of ASCT in AML, options for high-risk AML and MDS patients, and ongoing and planned clinical trials for transplantation.
