SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 1 year

The cumulative incidence of non-relapse mortality (defined as death in the absence of primary malignancy relapse after transplant) and relapse (defined as hematologic relapse or any unplanned intervention to prevent progression of disease in patients with evidence (molecular, cytogenetic, flow cytometric, radiographic) of malignant disease after transplantation) will be estimated from time of study therapy initiation. These will be treated as competing-risk events, and estimated at 1 year.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Up to 6 months

Population: Data were not collected because biologic studies were not performed. Response to study drug too minimal to justify time and expense.

The biologic impact of proteasome inhibition in the treatment of chronic GVHD will be assessed at baseline, 3 and 6 months. The association between biologic outcome measures and clinical parameters (response, treatment failure, mortality) will be studied.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 1 year

The incidence of complete discontinuation of all systemic immune-suppressive therapies will be determined at 1 year.

Population: Only baseline surveys analyzed. Only 7 patients completed surveys at 6mo, not analyzed due to low number.

HAP subscales have min=0 and max=94; results given are actual 12mo scores, with higher scores indicating better functioning. Maximum Activity Score (MAS) is highest item number answered still doing. Represents highest oxygen demanding activity that respondent still performs. Adjusted Activity Score (AAS) is MAS minus total number of stopped doing responses below MAS. A measure of usual daily activities. Modified AAS is MAS minus total number of stopped doing responses below MAS but not penalized for not doing activities not permitted post transplant. The following items are not counted against the score:11,15,19,20,22,25,34,41,42,47,49,50,52,53,54,57,72,73,77,78.
