Patients with plasma cell leukemia (PCL) are generally excluded from pivotal T-cell redirecting bispecific antibody (BsAb) trials. We evaluated real-world outcomes in a multicenter retrospective study of 122 patients with primary or secondary PCL across 15 academic centers, categorized as 'active' (≥5% circulating plasma cells within 30 days of BsAb initiation) or 'historical'. In a heavily pretreated population, patients received teclistamab (37%), elranatamab (11%), talquetamab as a line of therapy (Tal LOT, 42%), or talquetamab as bridging therapy to CAR-T (Tal Bridge, 11%). Cytokine release syndrome (CRS) was grade 1-2 in 56% and grade 3-4 in 4%, whereas neurotoxicity was grade 1-2 in 16% and grade 3-4 in 5%. Among 110 evaluable patients, the overall response rate (ORR) was 55%, including 61% with Tal LOT, 58% with Tal Bridge, 46% with elranatamab, and 33% with teclistamab. With a median follow-up of 8.3 months, talquetamab demonstrated superior survival. Tal LOT showed a median progression-free survival (mPFS) of 5.5 months and a median overall survival (mOS) of 11.5 months, and both were unreached in the Tal Bridge cohort. In contrast, teclistamab and elranatamab showed a mPFS of 1.2 and 1.6 months and mOS of 8.1 and 3.6 months, respectively (P=0.007, P=0.023). In active PCL, Tal LOT achieved mPFS/mOS of 6.9/12.2 months versus 0.7/1.4 months with teclistamab and 1.0/3.1 months with elranatamab, respectively (P<0.001, P=0.002). Multivariable analysis associated active PCL with worse survival and Tal LOT with improved outcomes. BsAbs were safe in PCL, with talquetamab showing superior outcomes compared with BCMA-directed BsAbs.

PURPOSE Incorporation of structured data elements within the electronic health record generates real-time data for many potential uses. However, this requires a change in documentation practices, which may increase documentation effort. The best strategies to support structured documentation interventions have not been thoroughly investigated. Herein, we report the results of extending a data capture tool across multiple disease sites and practice locations. METHODS A note-based data capture tool was developed to collect five data elements using minimum common oncology data elements language. Soft-stop close visit validation (CVV), offloading of data entry tasks to allied health staff, group education, individualized e-mails, and one-on-one assistance were used to support utilization. Baseline and follow-up surveys were collected. For each provider, we compared data capture in the 6 months before and after their CVV go-live. RESULTS Forty-five providers participated (31 physicians, 14 nurse pracationers and physician assistants [NPPAs]), resulting in 23,274 encounters pre-CVV go-live and 23,146 post-CVV go-live visits. Median percentage of all data elements captured increased from 69.5% to 82.6% across all providers. The effect of CVV was immediate and sustained. When surveyed, most respondents agreed with the value propositions of understanding practice population, outcomes, selecting trials to open, and identifying patients for trial enrollment. Most respondents (15/20, 75%) felt the soft stop was a helpful reminder. CONCLUSION Structured data can be successfully collected in provider notes with >80% data capture. Personalized assistance incorporating the structured data elements into users' preexisting templates and soft-stop CVV, along with monitoring the results of implementation and personalized follow-up, was used to support the structured data capture intervention.

Purpose To evaluate return‐to‐sport (RTS) rates and patient‐reported outcome measures (PROMs) following hip arthroscopic labral repair for femoroacetabular impingement in active basketball players with a minimum of 2‐year follow‐up. Methods All patients who were active basketball players and underwent hip arthroscopy with labral repair for femoroacetabular impingement from 2009 to 2022 were identified. Patients were evaluated for postoperative RTS and revision surgery at a minimum 2‐year follow‐up. RTS was defined as resuming basketball participation, at any level. Modified Harris Hip Score (mHHS), Hip Outcome Score‐Activities of Daily Living (HOS‐ADL) and Sport (HOS‐Sport), and surgery satisfaction were also collected. Results Sixty‐seven hips in 54 athletes (29 male, 25 female) with a mean age of 22.2 years (range 13‐39 years) were included. Eighty‐six (86%) were recreational or high school basketball players. There was significant improvement in all PROMs from baseline to a minimum 2‐year follow‐up (all P < .001). After excluding for athletes who did not RTS for nonmedical reasons, 78% of athletes returned to basketball following hip arthroscopy. Including patients who cited nonmedical reasons for not returning, the overall RTS rate was 65%. Athletes who RTS had significantly higher mHHS ( P = .012), HOS‐ADL ( P = .006), and HOS‐Sport ( P = .002), as well as lower visual analog scale pain (2.2 vs 3.4, P = .037) than those who did not RTS. Calculated minimal clinically important difference values were 8.3 for mHHS, 7.2 for HOS‐ADL, and 13.4 for HOS‐Sport. Anchor‐based patient acceptable symptom state calculations yielded thresholds of 83.5 for mHHS, 92.6 for HOS‐ADL, and 79.2 for HOS‐Sport—with 70%, 63%, and 67% of patients achieving these thresholds, respectively. Conclusions Basketball players who undergo hip arthroscopic labral repair for femoroacetabular impingement show significant improvements in PROMs with 78% RTS rate at a minimum 2‐year follow‐up. Although many athletes discontinued basketball for reasons unrelated to the hip, 18% cited hip issues. Basketball players who successfully return to basketball report higher PROMs than nonreturners, and cohort‐specific minimal clinically important difference analysis indicates that most athletes achieve clinically meaningful improvements.
