Description of intervention(s) / exposure
By examining the pharmacokinetics (PK, dose versus concentration relationship), pharmacodynamics (PD, concentration versus effect relationship) and pharmacogenomics (genetic influences on PK and PD) of drugs used in blood or marrow transplantation, it may be possible to individualise the dose to enhance therapeutic efficacy, reduce toxicity and maximise the chance of disease control.

The aims of this project are to:

1. Examine the pharmacokinetics of busulphan and other drugs used in BMT conditioning and to identify sources of variability in the pharmacokinetic parameters
2. To examine whether there is an association between exposure to busulphan and other drugs and toxicity and/or outcome following BMT (pharmacodynamics)
3. To examine the influence of genetic factors on the pharmacokinetics of busulphan and other drugs and outcome following BMT. Outcome endpoints include frequency of servious (Grade 3 +) toxicity, as well as survival endpoints.
4. To investigate whether patients who get veno-occlusive disease of the liver (VOD) following busulphan-based conditioning use different metabolic pathways than those who do not.

The target population are patients scheduled to receive busulphan or other agents prior to autologous or allogeneic bone marrow transplantation.

The required blood and urine sampling will depend on the level of participation of the institution. Each institution can participate in any or all of four levels and this will be
determined by the Principal Investigator, who will make this decision at their own discretion based on factors including (1) the characteristics of the local patient population and the common toxicities seen at the site and (2) the availability of resources for trial participation Additionally, participants are also able to accept or decline certain levels of participation. on the consent form. Level 1 involves the collection of clinical data in patients having busulphan concentrations measured for routine pharmacokinetic assessment. Level 2 involves the collection of additional bloods to analyse the pharmacokinetics of BMT drugs other than busulphan. The actual drugs being studied will depend on the protocols being used. Random urine samples will also be collected before and on the last day of busulphan dosing to investigate differences in busulphan metabolism. Level 3 involves the collection of a single EDTA blood sample prior to BMT conditioning for pharmacogenomics tests. Level 4 involves the weekly collection of blood for metabolomics studies to investigate the pathogenesis of VOD. These bloods can be retrieved from Pathology following routine Biochemical tests.

Drug concentrations will be measured using the chromatographic equipment in the Department of Biochemistry at The Children’s Hospital at Westmead. Pharmacokinetic software (including Kinetica4.0 and NONMEM7.3) will be used to calculate the pharmacokinetic parameters for each patient, and to identify sources of pharmacokinetic variability (e.g .body size, patient age, diagnosis, concomitant medication, prior medication, renal function and pharmacogenomics traits). Statistical tests including logistic regression and multivariate cox proportional hazards regression will be used to identify whether drug exposure and other factors are significant contributors to toxicity and outcome after BMT. Patient outcome will be followed up to 5 years post transplant.

This information is important for developing optimal dosing strategies for BMT drugs and has the potential to reduce toxicity and improve outcomes following BMT.

Outcomes
Primary outcome [1] 287123 0
To use drug concentrations measured in a series of timed blood collections to calculate the pharmacokinetic parameters of drugs used in the blood or marrow transplantation conditioning regimens and to identify how and why patients differ. Clinical data, including renal function, concomitant medication, genotype, weight and age, will be collected from medical records and tested for significant effects on pharmacokinetic parameters, thereby allowing identification of the factors which can contribute to inter and intra-patient variability.
Timepoint [1] 287123 0
Blood sampling and clinical data will be collected during the period of blood or marrow transplantation conditioning.
Primary outcome [2] 287126 0
To examine the association between exposure to drugs used in blood or marrow transplantation conditioning regimens and transplant outcome, including transplant -related toxicity, engraftment, survival, disease relapse and Graft versus Host Disease. Follow-up will continue for up to five years post transplant. outcome data will be collected from medical records.
Timepoint [2] 287126 0
Patients will be followed for up to five years from the date of blood or marrow transplantation conditioning.
Secondary outcome [1] 297444 0
To assess whether pharmacogenomic factors influence the pharmacokinetics, toxicity and outcome of patients undergoing blood or marrow transplantation
Timepoint [1] 297444 0
A single blood sample will be collected prior to starting conditioning
Secondary outcome [2] 334353 0
To investigate whether patients who get veno-occlusive disease of the liver (VOD) following busulphan-based conditioning use different metabolic pathways than those who do not. During the time of BMT conditioning and up to three months post BMT, the symptoms and signs of VOD will be recorded, including changes in albumin and bilirubin concentrations, increased platelet requirement, weight gain, hepatic tenderness and ascites. This data will be obtained from patient's medical records. Additionally, plasma samples will be collected before transplant and regularly post-transplant to monitor the changes occurring with development of VOD. In the pre-transplant period a targeted approach will be used to identify and quantify metabolites of drugs used during BMT conditioning (e.g. busulphan, melphalan and fludarabine). Chromatographic techniques will be used to separate and detect known drug metabolites and these will be quantified with reference stable isotopes using standard mass spectrometry methods. In the post transplant period, an untargeted approach will be used to characterise changes that occur with VOD. Bioinformatic analysis will be used to compare the drug metabolites and other analytes in patients who developed VOD versus those who did not.

Timepoint [2] 334353 0
Bloods will be collected every week from prior to BMT conditioning to up to three months post BMT, to investigate the pathogenesis of VOD.

Summary
Brief summary
The primary purpose of this trial is to evaluate the relationship between drugs which are administered for blood or bone marrow transplants and the outcomes of the transplant. Who is it for? You may be eligible to enroll in this study if you are receiving intravenous busulphan and/or other conditioning agents prior to a blood or bone marrow transplant. Study details All participants enrolled in this study will have blood samples taken at different timepoints depending on the institution at which they are receiving treatment, but may be as frequent as weekly until three months following the transplant. Some of the samples will have been taken for clinical reasons and some additional samples are for research. Participants can choose how many additional samples they will contribute to the study. Researchers will review medical records to evaluate the clinical outcomes of the transplant, and participants will be followed-up for 5 years. It is hoped that by evaluating the concentration of these drugs in the body, and their longterm effects, it may be possible to individualise the dose given to patients to enhance efficacy, reduce toxicity and maximise the chance of disease control.
