Four types of Bayesian updating
1. 2. 3. 4. Maximum Aposteriori Probability (MAP). Multiple Model (MM) Bayesian updating. Hybrid Bayesian (MAP + MM) updating. Interacting Multiple Model (IMM) Bayesian updating

Maximum Aposteriori Probability (MAP).
• • • •
Can reach out toward an unusual patient But the MAP point misses the true patient Held back toward the prior Also, only 1 point. No graphic view of uncertainties. • What to do?

2. Multiple Model (MM) Bayesian updating.
– Support points don’t change. Values of support points stay the same – Use Bayes’ theorem to compute the Bayesian posterior probability of each support point, given patient’s data – Problem: will not reach out beyond pop param ranges. May miss unusual patient. What to do?

Pop model has definite boundaries

3. Hybrid Bayesian posterior updating
• Start with MAP Bayesian. It reaches out, but not fully. Pop prior holds it back. • Add new support points nearby, inside and outside, to precondition the pop model for the new patient data. • Then do MM Bayesian on ALL the support points. • We are implementing this now. Out soon.

4. Bayesian for very unstable patients: interacting multiple model (IMM)
• Limitation of all current Bayesian methods: assume only 1 set of fixed parameters to fit the data. • Sequential MAP or MM Bayesian same as fitting all at once. • Relax this assumption. Let the “true patient” change during data analysis if more likely to do so. • Hit evasive targets better. IMM.

Context
• Bone marrow transplantation • Numerous complications including graft versus host disease (GVHD) • GVHD prophylaxis: Cyclosporine ± ATG
8/21/2008
USC LAPK
30
• Malignant diseases :
Bone marrow transplantation : Indications
Leukemia (ALL, AML, CML, JMML), non Hodgkin lymphoma
• Myelodysplastic syndromes
• Non malignant diseases :
Bone marrow failure, hemoglobinopathies
• Immunodeficiencies • 8/21/2008 Metabolic disorders LAPK USC
31
Cyclosporine: PK/PD
• No dose-effect relationship • Relationship between cyclosporine trough blood concentration and GVHD grades • Existence of cyclosporine target blood concentrations specific to each type of graft and each pathology
8/21/2008 USC LAPK 32
Cyclosporine therapeutic monitoring : Empirical strategy
YES or doses by 5 to 10% increment if trough blood concentration differ from target values (Cmin between 100 et 200ng/ml)
new measure of trough blood concentration to verify it is within target values range
NO
More than one week is sometimes needed before finding the optimal dosage regimen
8/21/2008 USC LAPK 33
Cyclosporine therapeutic monitoring : MAP Bayesian monitoring strategy
• Home-made PK populations • 3 dose control per week / 2 first weeks • USCPACK: linear PK (≠ CsA) • + “human neuronal network”
8/21/2008 USC LAPK 34
Methods (1)
• Strategies compared :
– Strategy A: Bayesian monitoring (Debrousse hospital’s) – Strategy B: empirical monitoring (all other French centers)
• Costs considered : Direct costs :
– directly linked to GVHD treatment – costs of monitoring strategies
8/21/2008 USC LAPK 35
Methods (2): Efficacy of cyclosporine Bayesian TDM
Choice of efficacy endpoint : → Incidence of severe acute GVHD (grades III and IV ) → Relapses
8/21/2008
USC LAPK
36
Methods (3):
Efficacy: data collection
• Strategy A :
– Data reported in a previous study: patients transplanted from Nov. 1999 to Oct. 2004 at Debrousse hospital – 85 children
8/21/2008
USC LAPK
37
Methods (4):
Efficacy: data collection • Strategy B :
– Literature review : Medline request combining “bone marrow transplantation” AND “children” AND “GVHD” ; restriction on last 6 years → > 100 papers
– Selection of studies showing criterion previously defined
8/21/2008 USC LAPK 38
Methods (5):
Efficacy: data collection
• Strategy B :
– Selection criterion
• Pediatric studies • ≥ 15 patients • Incidence of moderate and severe acute GVHD clearly indicated
– Exclusion criterion
• Rare pathologies • Autologous graft • Peripheral stem cell graft or umbilical cord blood graft if no data about BMT
8/21/2008
USC LAPK
39
Methods (6):
Efficacy: data collection
• Strategy B :
– 9 studies Warning : cohorts differ from ours for different reasons – Data synthesis Median percentages about moderate and severe acute GVHD incidence calculated from percentages reported in each study
8/21/2008 USC LAPK 40
Methods (7):
Costs considered
• Cost saved by using strategy A
– Overcost generated by the treatment of one severe GVHD :
• Mean cost of treatment for a patient affected by severe GVHD – mean cost of treatment for a patient without GVHD or I-II
– Cost of carrying out strategy A
8/21/2008 USC LAPK 41
Methods (8) :
Costs considered
• Cost of carrying out strategy A :
– Cyclosporine blood samples and dosages :
• Equivalent in both strategies
– Bayesian monitoring :
• Informatics material : insignificant
• Staff : 0.6 “équivalent temps plein” (ETP) of hospital pharmacist and 1.5 ETP of resident
8/21/2008 USC LAPK 42
Methods (9) :
Costs considered
• Costs of treatment (severe acute GVHD / no GVHD) :
– Cost of hospitalization – Cost of drugs used
– Cost of stable and labile blood products – Parenteral nutrition – Biological and imaging investigations
• Calculated from 10 patients’ files
8/21/2008 USC LAPK 43
Results (1) :
Strategy efficacy: incidence of GVHD
• Strategy A :
– Between 1999 and 2004 : • Grade I-II : 48.2 % • Grade III-IV : 8.2%
• Strategy B :
– Mean : • Grade I-II : 39.4% • Grade III-IV: 22.4%
8/21/2008 USC LAPK 44
Results (2) :
Additional cost linked to severe GVHD
• Number of patients concerned :
– 26 BMT / year at Debrousse hospital of which 26 x 8.2% = 2.1 patients affected by severe acute GVHD each year.
– If cyclosporine was monitored according to classical strategy, it would be 26 × 22.4% = 5.8 patients affected by severe acute GVHD each year, i.e. 3.7 more.

Costs avoided by cyclosporine Bayesian monitoring
• Cost of severe GVHD saved (3.7 x 102250) : 378 325 euros • Cost of carrying out strategy A : 111 000 euros • Overall cost saved by using strategy A : 267 325 euros
8/21/2008 USC LAPK 47
Results (5):
Sensitivity analysis
• Strategy A remains cost-effective when resources varies:
– Hospitalization cost : length of stay of 50 – 130 days
– Quantity of stable and labile blood products administered : 2000 to 72 000 euros – Severe GVHD incidence variance above 12.5%

Conclusion
• Cyclosporin MAP Bayesian monitoring strategy is cost-effective as it allows :
– about 14% less severe acute GVHD – about 270 000 euros of cost saving per year
