In our annual reports, we try to capture in words and pictures the vision that drives Cincinnati Children’s and our many partners: the passion to improve child health; the commitment to discovery, innovation and improvement.

This year, we focus on one of the most powerful ways we improve child health: through patient-oriented research.

Research at Cincinnati Children’s spans the entire arc from basic science through application and outcomes research, from bench to bedside and into the community. Every day, we strive to cast new light on complex diseases–and most importantly, to translate discoveries into new treatments that make a difference for patients.

In this report, you’ll read about three programs that excel in bridging research, discovery and care.

You’ll learn about two girls from Kuwait who are in Cincinnati for lifesaving care of a rare lung disease, and about pioneering research that offers them hope of a cure. You’ll learn how researchers and parents formed a productive partnership that resulted in rapid advances in the fight against eosinophilic gastrointestinal disorders. And you’ll learn about leading-edge clinical trials of the first medicine that can shrink brain, kidney and lung tumors in patients with tuberous sclerosis.

Chairman

These inspiring achievements are changing the outcome for our patients today–and illuminating the way to a healthier future for children everywhere.

As leaders of Cincinnati Children’s, we know that a great and enduring institution must excel in the present and continually look to the future. The strength of Cincinnati Children’s today is a tribute to the wisdom, vision and actions of leaders, staff and supporters throughout our 129-year history. It’s the responsibility of this generation to plan for the well-being of the children and families who will need us 129 years from now.

We were proud, therefore, to announce plans in April 2012 to build a new clinical sciences building. When it opens in 2015, it will provide space to consolidate and expand patient-oriented research activities. It will allow us to strengthen the critical link between research and patient outcomes. It will help us do more, learn more and improve the lives of more children and families.

This investment is a mark of our unwavering commitment to improve child health. We move forward knowing that achieving the best results for children will take support from many partners and donors who share the passion to make a difference. Together, we will advance knowledge, improve care and change lives.

We remember 2012 as a year of exciting beginnings but also sad losses. In February, we lost one of our greatest leaders–William Kuenneth Schubert.

In a career spanning nearly 50 years at Cincinnati Children’s, Dr. Schubert was a distinguished pediatrician, teacher, child advocate, researcher and leader, as well as a generous supporter.

He made immeasurable contributions to our institution, our community and to the families we are privileged to serve. We continue to build on the legacy he left.

In many ways, fiscal 2012 represents the culmination of a long, steady financial journey and first steps toward a new way forward.

For the past seven years, Cincinnati Children’s has been exceptionally focused on improving and expanding programs, facilities, partnerships and infrastructure to meet two complementary but different goals: to better serve our community’s children and to be the global leader in providing complex care for patients from all geographies. The responsibilities and stewardship associated with these roles required financial excellence in two very different and demanding business models.

As the community’s leader in promoting and improving the health of our region’s children and teens, Cincinnati Children’s recognizes that healthcare must shift from a system focused on delivering medical services to a new model that empowers children and families to take charge of their own health. This year’s annual report features a story about our efforts to help families whose children have asthma manage the disease more effectively and reduce their need for hospital care. This shift in philosophy requires a new business model–one focused on strengthening the patient’s self-management skills and on ensuring that when care is required, families have access to the right care, at the right time, in the right setting, which may well be outside our hospital walls.

Dear Friends,

Page 7: 2012 Annual Report | Cincinnati Children's

This approach demands that we work with community partners and stakeholders in ways we are only beginning to harness and adequately support.

Conversely, our commitment to being the global leader for complex pediatric care requires a business model based on unique clinical capabilities coupled with leading-edge scientific discovery. To succeed, we must differentiate our services from the national and global market and establish Cincinnati Children’s as the destination of choice for highly specialized care.

The improved financial results of fiscal 2012 (see Financial Report, pages 77-79) hint at the powerful potential locked within our journey to become far better at both roles–community leader and global leader. The statistical highlights in our financial report show that we were able to touch the lives of a record number of patients and families in virtually every setting in which we provide care. Increased demand for our services and expertise led to operating revenues that grew nearly 9 percent to $1.85 billion this year. And equally satisfying, our per patient encounter cost of providing clinical care actually decreased about 4 percent on an inflation-adjusted basis, as a result of an institution-wide effort to decrease costs and improve efficiency and productivity. A nation hungry for demonstrably better value from its healthcare system is demanding that we take this success much further in the coming years–and we are committed to doing that.

In the end, revenue growth stimulated by increased demand for services, coupled with successful per-patient-treated cost reductions led to net operating revenues of over $128 million–a strong improvement over last year. This, in turn, will allow us to accelerate our investment in new scientific discovery, new program offerings, expanded community partnerships and in the infrastructure and family support our patients require.

Nourah Al-Shammari came to Cincinnati Children’s for lifesaving treatment for a rare lung disease. Now a cure is on the horizon, thanks to pioneering research.

O N A R A R E L U N G D I S E A S E

CASTING LIGHT

Page 9: 2012 Annual Report | Cincinnati Children's

Nawaf and Fatemah Al-Shammari searched the world for a doctor who could help their daughter. By the time the search led them to Cincinnati Children’s, hope was running out for 3-year-old Nourah.

She was desperately ill from a mysterious lung disease.

At Cincinnati Children’s, the Al-Shammari family found a doctor with expertise in the complex treatment Nourah needs. And more, they found a research team with expertise in lung biology.

It’s a rare combination: outstanding patient care side-by-side with outstanding research; collaboration among the doctors who treat sick children and the researchers studying what underlies disease; basic science grounded in clinical challenges.

For Nourah, it’s a combination that made all the difference.

The best available treatment saved her life. Innovative research offers hope for a complete cure.

A M Y S T E R I O U S L U N G D I S E A S E

Born in Kuwait in 2005, Nourah was an apparently healthy baby until she was 2½ years old. Then suddenly she became very sick with asthma and coughing. She grew lethargic. She turned blue.

What was making her so sick?

A lung specialist wanted to do a bronchoscopy exam, but Nourah was too sick to risk giving her anesthesia for the procedure.

Within a month Nourah was in the ICU, unconscious, on a respirator. While she was in the ICU, her doctors performed the bronchoscopy. The results were surprising: They didn’t find infection or inflammation, but sediments– evidence of a very rare lung disease.

Her parents and medical team began searching for help outside Kuwait.

“I sent her records to many hospitals,” her father recalls, “but no one would accept her case.”

Nourah’s doctor sought advice from pulmonary experts worldwide through an online discussion group on the internet. That’s how he found Robert Wood, MD, PhD, director of bronchoscopy at Cincinnati Children’s.

“I saw his inquiry and recommended whole lung lavage,” says Dr. Wood. “He asked if he could send his patient to me.”

W O O D ’ S L U N G L A U N D R Y ”

Whole lung lavage (WLL) is a complicated procedure, used to treat pulmonary alveolar proteinosis (PAP). For decades the only thing known about this rare disease was that patients with PAP have too much surfactant in their lungs, making it difficult for them to get air in.

Surfactant, a fatty substance produced by the lungs, reduces surface tension and keeps the lung’s tiny air sacs (alveoli)

7

Page 10: 2012 Annual Report | Cincinnati Children's

W H O L E L U N G L AV A G E Nourah undergoes whole lung lavage every three to six weeks. In the OR, Dr. Robert Wood inserts a breathing tube into her lungs. He keeps one lung mechanically ventilated and dry while he fills the other with saline, vibrates her chest wall to mix the surfactant into the saline, and then drains her lung. He repeats this several times. The process is repeated at a later time to clean the other lung.

open. Having either too little or too much surfactant is life-threatening.

Without it, air sacs in the lung collapse when we exhale and struggle to expand with a new breath. This is what happens in premature babies who are born before their lungs have developed the capacity to produce surfactant.

But if we have too much surfactant, as in PAP, it fills up space that should be filled with air.

There’s only one treatment for PAP: washing the lungs to get rid of excess surfactant. “Lung laundering,” as Dr. Wood calls it.

Not many hospitals have the ability to perform whole lung lavage on a child as young, tiny and fragile as Nourah.

8

Dr. Wood, one of the world’s experts, has 40 years of experience with the procedure in children. He agreed to see Nourah.

The US and Kuwaiti embassies worked together to get the family the necessary travel visas and arrange the 6,800 mile trip, accompanied by a doctor and nurse.

Dr. Wood performed Nourah’s first lavage treatment just three days after she arrived in Cincinnati in November 2008. He washed her lungs with many liters of saline to remove the surfactant sediment. Within three weeks, she was well enough to leave the hospital.

Though the treatment is effective, lavage is a temporary fix. Nourah’s lungs continue to become clogged with

Page 11: 2012 Annual Report | Cincinnati Children's

excess surfactant. As a result, her family has remained in Cincinnati since 2008. Dr. Wood washes her lungs every 3 to 6 weeks.

C O U S I N B A S H A Y E R A R R I V E S

Nourah is alive today because of the expert care available at Cincinnati Children’s. But the story is far more complicated.

Back home in Kuwait, her cousin, Bashayer, also suffered from pulmonary alveolar proteinosis. Not long after Nourah arrived in Cincinnati, Bashayer’s family moved here, too.

Dr. Wood now was treating first cousins–just 3 and 4 years old–with PAP.

Very unusual.

For decades, PAP was believed to be an acquired disease, occasionally seen in children, but mostly in adults.

Today, because of Nourah, Bashayer and a handful of other young patients, researchers at Cincinnati Children’s have identified a previously unknown hereditary type of PAP (hPAP).

Working rapidly, a research team led by Bruce Trapnell, MD, developed a test to diagnose hPAP and is conducting

laboratory studies of an innovative genetic therapy that, in preliminary tests, cures it.

Nourah and Bashayer will be in the first group of patients offered the new therapy when it is approved for testing in humans.

D E C A D E S O F D I S C O V E R Y

Scientists at Cincinnati Children’s have been at the leading edge of research on surfactant-related diseases since the 1980s, when a team led by neonatologist Jeffrey Whitsett, MD, did groundbreaking work on respiratory distress syndrome in premature infants.

The lungs of premature babies are not able to produce enough surfactant. Respiratory distress due to insufficient surfactant is a killer in these tiny babies.

Dr. Whitsett made an important breakthrough in the fight to save preemies. He identified and cloned two proteins essential to human surfactant. His research made it possible to produce a genetically engineered surfactant treatment for preemies. Surfactant replacement therapy is now routinely used in newborn ICUs–saving thousands of babies every year.

“ You have to know enough basic science to be able to problem solve, and you have to understand the

disease enough to know what you’re looking for. Cincinnati Children’s brings the two halves together–

research and clinical care, tools and patients. The combination makes this one of the best places on the

planet to do pulmonary research.” B R U C E T R A P N E L L , M D

Dr. Whitsett and his research team have continued to focus intensively on lung biology and surfactant-related diseases. In fact, their research in the 1990s helped explain the basic biology of PAP.

T H E B A S I C S O F P A P

The work began when scientists at MIT turned to Dr. Whitsett for help. They were trying to understand the role of a newly identified protein, GM-CSF (granulocyte macrophage colony-stimulating factor). The protein appeared to promote the growth of macrophages. It was important to understand GM-CSF’s role, because macrophages in our white blood cells are a key part of the immune system.

Described as garbage collectors, macrophages travel through the body, looking for trash, such as worn out cells or toxins or bacteria. When they find something that shouldn’t be there, they surround it and digest it.

To learn more about the role of GM-CSF in this process, the scientists created a model in mice by knocking out the gene that makes the GM-CSF protein. They expected to find that the mice would not be able to make macrophages.

That’s not what happened. The mice did produce macrophages, but oddly enough, the mice had a lot of surfactant in their lungs. Why?

The researchers needed an expert in lung disease and surfactant. They turned to Dr. Whitsett, who recognized the mice had PAP.

Researchers at Cincinnati Children’s have been studying PAP ever since.

“When this work began, no one knew how PAP developed,” says Dr. Trapnell. “In fact, there was a lot of misunderstanding.” People thought PAP was the result of the body producing too much surfactant. Piece by piece, a different picture emerged from laboratory research at Cincinnati Children’s.

It turns out that PAP is not due to overproduction of surfactant but under-clearance of old, used surfactant.

Research showed that GM-CSF is needed for macrophages to mature. If the cells don’t mature, they can’t do their job. In the lung, a key job is to get rid of used surfactant. If they don’t do this, the surfactant accumulates as sediment. Over time, the lungs fill up.

As this insight became clear, a research team in Japan discovered that patients with PAP had an antibody against GM-CSF. By the early 2000s, the Japan and Cincinnati teams were working together.

Meticulous work at Cincinnati Children’s proved that the antibody was not merely present, but was actually causing the disease.

This finding defined PAP as an autoimmune disorder– a condition in which the body mistakenly attacks its own normal functioning.

One output of the research was a diagnostic test for autoimmune PAP, making a bridge from the basic science lab to clinically relevant information. Today Cincinnati Children’s is one of just four centers worldwide that performs diagnostic testing for autoimmune PAP.

1 0

Page 13: 2012 Annual Report | Cincinnati Children's

After a decade of work, we thought we had a pretty clear picture of the basic biology of PAP. Until we started seeing patients like Nourah and Bashayer.

Because it turned out, they don’t have the antibody.

H E R E D I T A R Y P A P

In 2007, Dr. Wood saw a 6-year-old girl from North Carolina who appeared to have PAP. But when Dr. Trapnell ran the diagnostic test on a blood sample, she did not have the antibody. When he measured her GM-CSF level, it was elevated.

This was something new.

Over the years the research team had carefully maintained a database of patient information and blood samples.

They reanalyzed the data and retrospectively found five other cases. Then Nourah and Bashayer arrived.

By now there were enough cases to begin to define the natural history of this new condition. Going further, Dr. Trapnell developed a test to diagnose it, and he created a mouse model to study it in the lab.

Molecular analysis identified a genetic defect in the macrophages. They can’t receive signals from GM-CSF. Since they don’t get the right message, they don’t clean up old surfactant.

The outcome is the same as in autoimmune PAP–too much surfactant in the lungs. But the disease pathway in hPAP is quite different.

L E F T Jeffrey Whitsett, MD, conducted research in the 1980s that resulted in lifesaving surfactant replacement therapy for premature babies with respiratory distress syndrome. R I G H T Cincinnati Children’s investigators have continued to focus on surfactant-related diseases. The research team studying hPAP includes (l-r) Takuji Suzuki, MD, PhD, Brenna Carey, PhD, and Bruce Trapnell, MD.

N E X T S T E P S

In a stunning advance, the basic research quickly led to a new type of therapy: pulmonary macrophage transplantation.

In the lab, Dr. Trapnell’s team is able to correct the gene defect in mice macrophage cells and put the cells back into the lung.

“Because the GM-CSF levels are high, the macrophages we put into the lung proliferate,” he explains. “They go through the lung like Pac-Man, cleaning up surfactant. As they do this, they also get rid of excess GM-CSF, so the whole system comes back into equilibrium. It works so well, with just one treatment.”

Cincinnati Children’s is uniquely positioned to move this research from the lab to patients.

“We have all the facilities here,” says Dr. Trapnell. “We’ll do the preclinical studies on safety and dosing. The Cincinnati Children’s Vector Lab will make the gene therapy vector and the Cell Manipulation Lab will prepare the cells for genetic therapy. We have all the necessary infrastructure.”

For Nourah and Bashayer, macrophage transplant offers the hope of a complete cure.

“We’re very happy that there’s a treatment,” says Fatemah Al-Shammari. “The girls can’t have lung lavage all their lives.”

“Despite more than 20 years of research, not one lung disease has been successfully treated by gene therapy,” Dr. Trapnell points out. “This has the potential to be a major advance, the first successful lung gene therapy.”

L E F T Bashayer Al-Shammari, Nourah’s cousin, also has hPAP and undergoes regular whole lung lavage treatments at Cincinnati Children’s. R I G H T Nawaf Al-Shammari searched the world for a hospital that could help his daughter. Here he shares a quiet moment with Nourah.

1 2

Page 15: 2012 Annual Report | Cincinnati Children's

Parents, physicians and researchers all feel a sense of urgency, yet know the work must move forward step by step. It may take two years or more before all the preclinical work is completed and Cincinnati Children’s receives approval to begin human testing through a clinical trial.

In the meantime, Nourah and Bashayer need regular lavage treatments. Is there a way they can have these treatments in Kuwait?

Dr. Wood has begun training Kuwaiti physicians to perform whole lung lavage in children as small as Nourah and Bashayer. As a first step, a Kuwaiti team visited Cincinnati Children’s in April to observe the procedure. A second trip for more training and hands-on experience is being planned, in preparation for the children to return to Kuwait.

“They deserve to be home,” Dr. Wood says.

W H Y S T U D Y R A R E D I S E A S E ?

PAP is a very rare disease–fortunately. One of the reasons to focus on rare diseases, Dr. Trapnell points out, is that they typically have a single cause that can be isolated and studied.

Autoimmune PAP is caused by an antibody that attacks only one protein in a single signaling pathway that macrophages require to function normally. Hereditary PAP is caused by a defect in another single component of the same signaling pathway.

“We know exactly where the target is,” says Dr. Trapnell. “By deepening our understanding of the basic biology, we can move toward therapy for these conditions, and we are likely to learn something more general about autoimmune and genetic diseases that can be applied to other, more common and complex conditions.”

The long-term investment in lung research at Cincinnati Children’s has had an enormous impact. It bridged the gap between understanding basic biology and advancing care to improve the health of children.

Basic science studies of surfactant led to a lifesaving treatment for respiratory distress syndrome in premature infants and to an ongoing interest in other surfactant-related diseases, including PAP.

Studying hPAP led to inventing a new procedure– pulmonary macrophage transplantation. “It’s not just a new treatment,” Dr. Trapnell says, “but a new class of treatment.” It opens the potential for new therapeutic approaches to other lung diseases.

The possibilities are speculative at this stage. But that’s a critical part of clinical science: linking clinical need, creative thinking and meticulous basic science to push the boundaries of knowledge, advance care and improve outcomes for patients.

Cincinnati Children’s is proud to be at the forefront of such cutting-edge translational research.

The Cincinnati Children’s community mourns the passing of one of our greatest leaders, William Kuenneth Schubert, MD.

In a career spanning nearly 50 years at Cincinnati Children’s, Dr. Schubert dedicated his life to improving the health of children in our community and around the world. He made immeasurable contributions as a physician, child advocate, researcher, teacher, mentor and leader. And throughout his career, he gave generously to support the work of the institution he loved.

A Cincinnati native, Dr. Schubert attended the University of Cincinnati College of Medicine and completed his pediatric residency and fellowship training at Cincinnati Children’s. After seven years in private practice, he joined Cincinnati Children’s full-time in 1963, as the founding

director of the Clinical Research Center. In 1968, he established the Division of Gastroenterology. He also served as director of the pediatric residency program and chief-of-staff. He went on to be chairman of the Department of Pediatrics and director of the Cincinnati Children’s Research Foundation (1979-93) and president and CEO (1983-96).

Dr. Schubert was a compassionate physician, a brilliant diagnostician and an outstanding educator. He inspired generations of pediatricians and pediatric specialists.

As a scientist, he did important research on liver disease, cholesterol, iron deficiency and Reye syndrome. He was a model of the clinician/researcher and encouraged physicians to pursue research careers.

As a child advocate, he was a spokesman for the position that no child should be turned away for lack of ability to pay. He worked tirelessly to pass the Hamilton County Health and Hospitalization tax levy and to consolidate pediatric care at Cincinnati Children’s, so that all kids could be treated equally.

Under his leadership as chairman of Pediatrics and president and CEO, Cincinnati Children’s grew in clinical and research programs, recruited world-class talent and added new facilities. After he retired in 1996, Dr. Schubert continued to serve Cincinnati Children’s as a trustee, advisor and elder statesman.

Ashton Burke learns about eosinophils during lab day, when patients with eosinophilic disorders get to meet researchers and have fun playing educational games modeled on real research activities.

DECIPHERING THE MYSTERIES

Page 19: 2012 Annual Report | Cincinnati Children's

“ I remember telling my daughter Jori, when she was 14 years old, that she would not be able to eat food anymore,” recalls Ellyn Kodroff. “We sat at the kitchen table and sobbed as she took small sips of the vile-tasting formula, the only thing she could now have.”

Jori, now 20, has an eosinophilic gastrointestinal disorder (EGID). She and her parents travel to Cincinnati Children’s from Chicago every three months so that she can be treated by the Cincinnati Center for Eosinophilic Disorders (CCED), led by Marc Rothenberg, MD, PhD.

Cincinnati Children’s has become the acknowledged leader in treating and studying eosinophilic disorders–newly recognized conditions in which the body’s immune system treats food as a harmful entity, a foreign invader.

In response to food, the body rapidly produces too many immune cells called eosinophils. The cells attack the pathway that food takes–esophagus, stomach, intestines and other organs.

The eosinophils trigger chronic inflammation, pain and tissue damage. Individuals with EGID suffer from growth problems, stomach cramps, vomiting and diarrhea, and have trouble swallowing.

Some patients do well if they eliminate specific foods from their diet. Others are forced to stop eating all food and live on a liquid formula diet. The social, emotional and psychological effects can be staggering.

“Food is far more than just nourishment,” says Karen Philip, whose 12-year-old daughter, Grace, lives with an EGID. “It is an expression of our cultures and traditions. To have to view something so life- and soul-sustaining as a physical threat is daunting and, at times, exhausting.”

D E C I P H E R I N G T H E M Y S T E R Y

A growing number of patients around the world face the challenge of living with and finding care for eosinophilic conditions. In the last decade, rates of many types of allergic diseases have skyrocketed. EGIDs now affect as many as one in 1,000 people. Though they are more common than inflammatory bowel disease and Crohn’s disease in children, EGIDs are not yet as widely known and are often misdiagnosed.

During a recent orientation session for new patients at the CCED, several families talked about their difficulties of finding expert care: “My doctor had only seen one other patient with this condition,” said one.

“You’re kind of a mystery,” said another.

Cincinnati Children’s is at the forefront of deciphering the mystery by bringing eosinophilic disorders to the attention of the medical community, as well as conducting research to understand these conditions and advance care.

1 7

Page 20: 2012 Annual Report | Cincinnati Children's

The work began in 1999, with one child.

Gastroenterologist Philip Putnam, MD, had a new patient in clinic. A biopsy sample of the child’s esophagus showed a lot of eosinophils.

He consulted with Dr. Rothenberg, director of the Division of Allergy/Immunology, who had done extensive basic research on eosinophils and their role in triggering allergic inflammation.

That first patient at Cincinnati Children’s was soon followed by others. Dr. Putnam and Dr. Rothenberg started holding a combined clinic and meeting to talk about what they were seeing. Soon pathologist Margaret Collins, MD, joined their team.

At the time, there had been only a few reports in medical journals about patients who were thought to have reflux disease but did not respond to medication and had elevated eosinophils. Not much was known about the condition.

The Cincinnati Children’s team wanted to understand more about these mysterious conditions: How to recognize them. How to diagnose them. The underlying biological pathways. How to make life better for patients who suffer with them.

From that small beginning, a comprehensive patient care and research program grew. It was the first of its kind anywhere.

Linking clinical and research expertise was critical to the program’s success. “We’d be flying blind without the basic

research,” Dr. Putnam points out. “We’d only be able to look at the end of the chain–the cells under a microscope. We wouldn’t understand the processes.”

As with any new research endeavor, securing funding to pursue new ideas was vital. In addition to traditional federal research grant funding, the partnership and investment of private donors proved essential to advance the study and care of EGIDs.

From hosting small fundraisers, to securing large-dollar support from nonprofits and foundations, to creating advocacy groups and testifying before Congress, the EGID community quickly established itself as an integral part of the CCED team.

The Kodroff family launched the Campaign Urging Research for Eosinophilic Disease (CURED), a national advocacy organization dedicated to raising public awareness of EGIDs and funds for research to cure it. The Buckeye Foundation, which is managed by the Philip family, also supports the CCED’s work. “It was a smart investment,” says Karen. “Dr. Rothenberg had the infrastructure needed to make a meaningful impact on the disease. We knew our investment would yield results.”

These two groups have become transformational partners, donating more than $4 million to advance the study and care of EGIDs at Cincinnati Children’s.

“Witnessing their huge commitment is a tremendous inspiration for our team,” says Dr. Rothenberg.

“Their partnership allowed us to pursue new ideas, often less conventional and more far-reaching than would be acceptable to typical funding agencies.”

T R A N S F O R M I N G T H E L A N D S C A P E

Today the CCED is the world’s largest, most experienced clinical program for EGIDs, and the most productive research center.

It has seen more than 1,000 children and adults since 1999. Families come from across the country and around the world seeking hope, healing and a better quality of life.

The center has brought major research discoveries from the laboratory bench to the clinic–transforming the landscape for patients living with eosinophilic disorders.

First, the CCED’s research in mouse models clarified the nature of these diseases. “Esophagitis used to be thought of as only acid reflux related,” says Dr. Rothenberg.

“Our early studies provided a new paradigm, which subsequently has been accepted–that esophagitis could be an allergen-driven inflammatory process.”

This discovery led to a now widely practiced treatment approach: anti-inflammatory drugs for eosinophilic esophagitis.

The CCED conducted the first controlled clinical trial to test this approach. Today, two anti-inflammatory drugs are routinely used to control symptoms, and others are under development.

In another important contribution, the CCED advanced understanding of the genetics of EGIDs.

The CCED’s patient data, along with information compiled from its web-based patient registry, revealed that the disease occurs in families, suggesting that genetics has a role.

In fact, as EGIDs are better understood, many adults–including the parents and relatives of some of our pediatric patients–are finally being diagnosed after a lifetime of struggling with an unrecognized condition.

The CCED team has done pioneering research to decipher the genetic underpinnings of eosinophilic disorders. Dr. Rothenberg’s lab identified and defined the role of several genes and proteins involved.

These discoveries are fueling research for another promising treatment approach: antibodies against the proteins IL-5 and IL-13. Dr. Rothenberg led the first trials of anti-IL-5 and anti-IL-13. Several companies are now pursuing these approaches.

Dr. Rothenberg’s team also has developed a molecular-based diagnostic test for the disease. The test is currently being commercialized so that it can be available to patients everywhere.

Thanks to these and other achievements, doctors are better able to reduce patients’ eosinophil levels and control the disease.

the clinical research enterprise necessary for truly meaningful translation of our findings to patients.”

But more needs to be done to improve outcomes for those who live with EGID.

“We’re making groundbreaking discoveries, but we still understand too little,” Dr. Rothenberg says. “A recent study by our group, showed that children with EGID have the lowest quality of life compared with a wide number of other common pediatric chronic diseases. It’s humbling to see the degree of patient suffering despite all that we’re doing. We need to bring this whole field to a higher level– and we’re well positioned to do that.”

Dr. Rothenberg is convinced that “modern genetic approaches give us the technical capacity to begin to understand why people develop the disease–and that will help us develop better diagnostic tests and treatments, and ultimately find the cure.”

The patients and philanthropists who have run this race with him look forward to the day when they will cross the finish line together.

“I believe Dr. Rothenberg will find a cure,” Ellyn Kodroff says. “Then Jori and all the others suffering will have the opportunity to eat and enjoy life again.”

Ellie was diagnosed with eosinophilic esophagitis when she was a baby. At 2½ she was put on the elemental diet. She stopped eating food and got all her nutrition from an amino acid formula. After three months, the eosinophils cleared out. Then Dr. Putnam began testing one food at a time to see what foods are safe for her. Today, Ellie can eat six foods, including apples, potatoes and grapes.

David Franz, MD, launched a clinic for patients with tuberous sclerosis (TS) in 1992. Today the TS program at Cincinnati Children’s is the world’s largest and is recognized for clinical excellence and leadership in clinical research.

REVEALING THE POWER

Page 25: 2012 Annual Report | Cincinnati Children's

Alyssa Loftus was a baby when she was diagnosed with a rare disease. Little was known about it, and there were very few specialized clinics in the country to serve patients with it.

Since there was no clinic for her in Cincinnati, Alyssa’s parents traveled over 600 miles to take her to the nearest specialist–and he was about to retire.

Concerned, they reached out to David Franz, MD, a young neurologist who had trained at Cincinnati Children’s and was joining the staff. Would he start a clinic for patients with tuberous sclerosis (TS)?

He said yes, and the institution supported the effort.

That was 1992. Today that clinic is the largest, most comprehensive TS clinic in the world. It is transforming care for children and adults with tuberous sclerosis.

“It was a huge leap of faith on the part of Cincinnati Children’s,” says Alyssa’s father, Douglas Loftus. “The whole team’s commitment to creating a better future for kids with TS is just extraordinary.”

Alyssa, now 21, “has gotten the best care available,” her father says, “and it was right here in our backyard.”

F I N D I N G H O P E

Tuberous sclerosis is a genetic disease that can cause tumors to grow throughout the body–in vital organs, on the skin and in the eye.

Every patient is affected differently. In some, symptoms are mild. In others, they’re severe. Though the TS tumors are not cancerous, they can be devastating and life-threatening. Tumors in the brain can cause seizures, autism and profound developmental delay. Tumors can destroy kidney and lung function.

From the beginning, the Cincinnati Children’s clinic set out to offer a new level of care.

Patients once were isolated, and care was fragmented. At Cincinnati Children’s, care would be coordinated. Patients would find lifelong care for all aspects of the disease.

“All the specialties were there, in one clinic,” says Alyssa’s father. “The multidisciplinary approach was a huge benefit.”

In its first 10 years, the program gained recognition for clinical excellence. In its second decade, it became a powerhouse for clinical research.

The Cincinnati Children’s team has led a series of highly successful trials of the first drug that can alter the course of the disease. These studies resulted in rapid FDA approval of the medicine’s use for brain and kidney complications of tuberous sclerosis.

The future is no longer hopeless for patients with TS.

F R O M G E N E D I S C O V E R Y T O T R E A T M E N T

New information about the genetics and molecular biology of tuberous sclerosis made this progress possible.

In the 1990s, researchers identified the TS mutation in two genes. By 2000, scientists had discovered that normally these genes control a protein, mTOR, that regulates cell growth throughout the body.

The research to identify the mTOR pathway was done by cancer biologists, but the Cincinnati Children’s TS team seized on the implications for tuberous sclerosis.

In individuals who inherit the TS mutation, mTOR is overactive, causing uncontrolled cell growth and tumors. But there was an existing drug, rapamycin, that inhibits mTOR. The Cincinnati Children’s team

reasoned this drug might reduce the growth of tumors in patients with TS.

Their insight opened the door to the first effective treatment.

They began to plan a clinical study of rapamycin and build the necessary infrastructure for the research.

The pilot study tested whether rapamycin could reduce the size of kidney tumors in TS patients and prevent new tumors from growing. It was led by nephrologist John Bissler, MD, the world’s leading expert on the kidney complications of tuberous sclerosis.

As the trial began in 2003, there were doubters.

Dr. Franz recalls, “The drug had been used for transplant and cancer patients. Skeptics asked what made us think

L E F T When Alyssa Loftus was a baby, her family traveled hundreds of miles to the nearest tuberous sclerosis specialist. Her parents asked Dr. Franz to start a TS program at Cincinnati Children’s. R I G H T Douglas Loftus is deeply grateful for the care his daughter has received, saying, “Alyssa would not have the life she has today if it were not for Cincinnati Children’s.”

it could fix a genetic condition. Some thought it might make the tumors worse.”

E X C E E D I N G E X P E C T A T I O N S

“The families and patients who participated in the trial were more than equal partners in this research,” says Dr. Bissler. “They were courageous and altruistic.”

As a precaution, Dr. Bissler monitored the brain and lungs of study participants for potential harmful side effects of the drug. This led the research in unexpected directions.

One patient enrolling in the kidney trial was found to have a brain tumor. Early results of the kidney study suggested rapamycin was shrinking kidney tumors. Even though it was thought rapamycin did not penetrate

the brain, Dr. Franz wanted to try it. Could it also shrink this patient’s brain tumor? It did–leading Dr. Franz and colleague Darcy Krueger, MD, PhD, to launch a study of TS patients with brain tumors.

While monitoring patients’ lungs, Dr. Bissler found that those with a dangerous lung disease–lymphangioleiomyomatosis (LAM)–showed improved lung function. LAM affects up to 40 percent of women with TS. Could rapamycin help them and others with LAM? A third trial was launched, led by pulmonologists Frank McCormack, MD, from the University of Cincinnati, and Bruce Trapnell, MD, from Cincinnati Children’s.

The rare combination of wide-ranging expertise in one institution, along with a commitment to clinical

Jonathan Fields underwent two surgeries for brain tumors caused by tuberous sclerosis. When he developed another tumor in 2008, his physician in New York referred him to the clinical trial at Cincinnati Children’s. The medication has reduced the size of the tumor and given Jonathan a better quality of life. Jonathan’s family moved to Cincinnati last year to be close to care.

2 5

research, made it possible for Cincinnati Children’s to lead simultaneous trials for kidney, brain and lung.

In each case, results exceeded expectations.

F I N A L L Y , A N A P P R O V E D D R U G T H E R A P Y

Results of all these trials have been reported at professional meetings and in major medical journals, beginning in 2006 when Dr. Franz published data for the first five patients with brain tumors to be treated with rapamycin. Tumor size decreased in all patients.

Results of a two-year study of patients with kidney tumors, LAM or both were reported in 2008. Participants received the medicine for a year, followed by a year without it.

The medicine reduced the size of kidney tumors in all participants. When it was stopped, tumors grew again in most patients. Of those with LAM, 70 percent had improved lung function that was partially sustained even after the medicine was stopped.

These initial findings supported the idea that inhibiting mTOR is an effective treatment, and led to larger follow-up studies.

Dr. Bissler organized a placebo-controlled trial of kidney tumors. The national TS Alliance spread the word that Cincinnati Children’s was recruiting participants. 118 patients in 11 countries enrolled.

She found the clinical trial at Cincinnati Children’s in 2010. “When I came here, the tumors were so big you couldn’t see my kidney,” she says. “Now you can’t see the tumors, and I have 100 percent normal kidney function. I call it my miracle.”

2 6

Page 29: 2012 Annual Report | Cincinnati Children's

Dr. Franz recruited 28 patients at Cincinnati Children’s for a larger-scale brain tumor study. Alyssa was the 17th to enroll. She had developed a tumor that was rapidly growing and was facing the possibility of a very difficult brain surgery. After six months on the medicine, the tumor had shrunk 50 percent. In fact, tumors shrunk in all 28 patients. None required surgery for brain tumors after treatment. Of those with active epilepsy, 86 percent had seizures less often.

These results were reported in 2010. The FDA responded by granting accelerated approval of the drug for TS patients with brain tumors, while requiring a larger study.

This next, placebo-controlled trial involved 117 patients at centers in the US, Canada and Europe. The outcome, reported at professional meetings in 2011 and published in 2012, confirmed the robust results of the initial study.

A larger-scale LAM study was coordinated through a consortium of 13 institutions around the world. The findings, published in 2011, showed that the drug stabilizes lung function and improves patients’ quality of life. In 2012, a citizen’s petition requesting accelerated approval of the drug for treating LAM was filed with the FDA. Meanwhile multicenter research to confirm the study results are in progress.

Dr. Bissler presented outcomes of his international follow-up study in February 2012. Kidney tumors shrunk in all patients who received the drug. 42 percent of patients experienced a 50 percent reduction in tumor size. In April 2012 the FDA responded to the data by granting expedited approval of the drug for non-cancerous kidney tumors in TS patients.

Within hours, Dr. Bissler started receiving calls from patients around the world wanting to come to Cincinnati Children’s for care.

T R A N S F O R M I N G L I V E S

The outcome of these clinical trials has been transformational for patients and extraordinarily gratifying for the doctors and nurses who work closely with them. “I have the best job in the world,” says Jo Coombs, RN. “We see truly amazing affects of this drug. It changes lives.”

Says Dr. Bissler, “The families and patients inspire us. It’s deeply gratifying that now we can actually do something that gives them hope for the first time.”

“I get passionate when I talk about it,” Doug Loftus acknowledges. “Alyssa would not have the life she has today if it were not for Cincinnati Children’s.”

A BETTER QUALITY OF LIFE

G U I D I N G A S T H M A P A T I E N T S T O

Antonio Long was able to play outdoors this summer because his asthma is under control, thanks to an intensive education and support initiative at Cincinnati Children’s.

Page 31: 2012 Annual Report | Cincinnati Children's

Antonio Long, 4, suffers from asthma. Exercise is one of the triggers that starts him coughing and wheezing.

Before his asthma was under good control, breathing problems brought Antonio to the emergency department (ED) several times, and his grandmother, who is his guardian, missed work to take care of him when he was sick.

Antonio and Charlotte enjoyed a happier summer this year, thanks to an intensive effort at Cincinnati Children’s to improve care for children with asthma.

T A R G E T I N G C O M M U N I T Y H E A L T H I S S U E S

Cincinnati Children’s strategic plan targets four major community health issues. Asthma is one of those priorities.

Asthma is the most common chronic disease of childhood and one of the top reasons children are admitted to the hospital. In Hamilton County, Ohio, one in six children has been diagnosed with asthma. The figure increases significantly for children who live below the poverty line.

Our goal is to help patients improve control of their asthma to prevent ED visits and hospitalizations.

The work is being accomplished through a large-scale collaboration of primary care doctors and pulmonary disease specialists, asthma care coordinators and home

health care nurses, inpatient and outpatient services, hospital staff and community partners.

K N O W L E D G E A N D C O N F I D E N C E

For Antonio, the path to a better quality of life began last January, during a routine visit to the Pediatric Primary Care Center (PPCC) at Cincinnati Children’s.

Because Antonio required emergency care several times in 2011, Charlotte was offered the opportunity to meet with Lauren Poling, one of two asthma care coordinators in the PPCC.

Says Charlotte, “I’m so glad I took advantage of the opportunity.”

Having a care coordinator means that Charlotte now has a teacher and an advocate to help reduce barriers to care. Charlotte counts on her if she has questions or concerns.

“I feel comfortable calling Lauren when I’m unsure what to do,” she says, recalling one hot, smoggy day when she called to confirm when to give Antonio his medicine and how much to give. Poling was able to review the asthma care plan developed by Antonio’s provider and give her guidance.

Poling also referred Charlotte to another service that made a difference: the Asthma Home Health Pathway. Since 2010, Cincinnati Children’s home health nurses

Charlotte Long is all smiles as she watches her grandson run and play at Cincinnati’s beautiful new Washington Park. “It’s wonderful to see him,” she says.

“Last summer was really bad. He was sick a lot and couldn’t play outside.”

Page 32: 2012 Annual Report | Cincinnati Children's

have visited over 500 families to provide asthma care teaching in the home.

Cheryl Patterson, RN, visited Charlotte and Antonio six times over six months to reinforce the education Charlotte received in the hospital.

She helped Charlotte identify things in the environment that can trigger Antonio’s asthma. She taught her to look for early signs of an asthma episode, so she can give Antonio medicine to stop the attack from getting worse. She reviewed the difference between controller medicine, which is given daily to reduce inflammation and prevent flare-ups, and rescue medicine, which is given as a fast-acting treatment for wheezing and shortness of breath. And she coached Charlotte on how to fit the inhaler mask correctly so Antonio gets all the medicine into his lungs.

“Education is everything,” Charlotte says. “I know I’m doing it right, and Antonio was learning with me. He knows how many puffs to take.”

A B U N D L E O F I N T E R V E N T I O N S

Antonio’s asthma is under much better control, thanks to education and support that gave Charlotte the skills and confidence she needs to manage his care.

The asthma initiative also includes approaches designed to meet other challenges families face.

An Asthma Inpatient Task Force, led by hospitalist Jeffrey Simmons, MD, and Asthma Center director Carolyn Kercsmar, MD, spearheaded efforts to improve families’ access to asthma medications at home. Children who’ve had a hospital stay due to asthma now go home with

a month’s supply of medicine and a copy of the child’s asthma care plan.

In another improvement on the inpatient units, respiratory therapists now conduct an asthma risk assessment, using a checklist embedded in the hospital’s electronic medical record. The assessment identifies families who would benefit from an asthma care plan, education during the hospital stay, participation in the Asthma Home Health Pathway or referral to community resources.

The same risk assessment tool is used by asthma care coordinators in our primary care clinics to assess high- risk patients and by our home health care nurses during home visits.

When conventional treatment, care coordination and education aren’t enough, the hospital’s Asthma Center offers intensive, specialized care by pulmonary disease experts.

P A R T N E R S I N T H E C O M M U N I T Y

Work to improve outcomes for children with asthma extends to collaborations with many partners in the community.

One effort is a school-based asthma initiative at Rockdale and South Avondale elementary schools, both located near our main campus in the Avondale neighborhood.

Another is a long-standing asthma initiative with 38 community-based pediatric practices that are members of Tri State Child Health Services, a physician hospital organization. Collectively these practices serve 13,000 children with asthma in Greater Cincinnati.

And as a participant in the Greater Cincinnati Beacon Collaboration, Cincinnati Children’s is working with

hospitals and organizations across the community to marshal health information technology to improve asthma care. The Department of Health and Human Services launched the Beacon Community Program in 2010 with grants to 17 communities, which are models for innovation using information technology to tackle leading health problems. The Greater Cincinnati HealthBridge collaboration is focusing on asthma and diabetes.

In March, HealthBridge introduced an ED Admit Alert System that sends electronic alerts to primary care physicians when their patients with asthma or diabetes visit the emergency room in any of 21 area hospitals.

Mona Mansour, MD, heads the Beacon program for the Cincinnati Children’s primary care clinics. She notes that

“having regional alerts made us aware of patients who are eligible for asthma care coordination because of visits to providers outside of the hospital. It allows us to reach out to these patients, regardless of where they go for care.”

All of these initiatives are keeping kids out of the hospital.

Dr. Mansour reports that children admitted to the hospital for asthma are now 50 percent less likely to be readmitted or to be seen in the ED within 30 days, and are 23 percent less likely to return within 90 days. For high-risk children who receive asthma care coordination in our primary care clinics, the average number of days between ED visits or hospital admission has gone from 173 to 325 days.

The numbers are impressive. But nothing is more impressive to Charlotte Long than watching Antonio run through the park.

The hallmark of a successful organization is being nimble enough to meet the changing needs of the community. That is exactly what the Convalescent Hospital for Children has done for more than 180 years. While it closed its doors as a separate hospital a decade ago, the Convalescent Hospital has opened thousands more doors through its formal partnership with Cincinnati Children’s, bringing hope and healing to children and families in their time of need.

From responding to the needs of children orphaned by a cholera epidemic in the 1830s to providing a resource for children suffering with chronic illnesses in the 1930s; from funding research to battle respiratory distress in premature infants in the 1980s to supporting the underserved needs of patients with mental illness in the 1990s, the Convalescent

Hospital for Children has continuously evolved to meet the most pressing needs of children and teens in our community and beyond.

“Cincinnati Children’s and the Convalescent Hospital for Children have an impressive history of championing the care of children,” says Convalescent Hospital board member Pam Terp. “Today, we are working together to meet the complex needs of young adults with developmental disabilities.”

Project SEARCH is one of the more recent programs to benefit from the support of the Convalescent Hospital. Founded at Cincinnati Children’s more than 15 years ago, Project SEARCH is an internationally recognized job training program for people with significant disabilities.

The program partners with schools and a diverse cadre of employers to transition students with special needs from high school to meaningful employment. Project SEARCH opens new doors for its graduates and allows them to establish independence and build self-esteem.

“What began with the vision and determination of one person has grown into a program that provides a future and a purpose to thousands of people with disabilities,” says Marie Huenefeld, a Convalescent Hospital board member and strong supporter of Project SEARCH.

“One of the best parts is that so many former Convalescent Hospital children have benefited from the program.”

Convalescent Hospital’s investment in Project SEARCH has been instrumental to its success. Their partnership,

coupled with a passionate program leader and supported by a world-class organization, has created amazing outcomes.

Project SEARCH has expanded to more than 200 programs in hospitals and businesses in 42 states and seven countries. More than 2,500 students participate in the program worldwide each year, with approximately 67 percent obtaining full-time employment by graduation.

“The Convalescent Hospital is very proud to partner with Cincinnati Children’s in this program,” Marie says. “It has been a thrill for all of us connected to Project SEARCH to watch the growth and impact it has had not only in Cincinnati, but across the US and around the world.”

Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH)–two words that changed Dennis and Ann Flaherty’s life forever. Their son William was diagnosed with this life-threatening immunodeficiency disorder when he was only 3 years old. After a long battle that included a bone marrow transplant, William is now a happy and healthy 8-year-old, but Dennis and Ann haven’t forgotten how daunting the journey to the cure can be.

Determined to find a way to bring more awareness about the newly recognized disorder to the medical community,

to improve care for those diagnosed and to help families facing HLH, the Flahertys have provided seed funding for the HLH Center of Excellence at Cincinnati Children’s. The center is focused on four pillars– research, education, clinical care and family support.

“This center will significantly change the outcome for families facing this disease through earlier detection, treatments and family-focused support,” Dennis says.

“This journey can be extremely dark at times, and the HLH Center of Excellence at Cincinnati Children’s will be a beacon of hope.”

Joe and Susan Pichler have known many families whose children have received exceptional care at Cincinnati Children’s, often for conditions that require sophisticated analysis and treatment. These experiences led them to talk with Arnold Strauss, MD, chair of the Department of Pediatrics, who told them of the critical need to expand treatment programs for children and teens suffering from

mental illness, an area of medicine that is often underserved and underfunded. The Pichlers responded with a significant gift in support of the Partial Hospitalization Program, which provides inpatient therapeutic care for children and adolescents in a daily, nine-hour program that allows them to go home to their families each night.

David and Nancy Wolf have a theory about the secret of our success, and they want to share that with children around the globe. “A special passion exists at Cincinnati Children’s,” David says. “Nancy and I have seen it in every doctor, nurse and staff member. We want doctors and researchers from across the world to experience that passion and carry it on to their patients.” Through a generous

gift, the Wolfs have funded an opportunity for doctors from Israel to do just that. The David and Nancy Wolf Israel Exchange Training Program provides top medical students from Israel with the opportunity to spend time at Cincinnati Children’s learning from our world-class physicians and researchers, impacting an exponential number of doctors and patients from across the world.

The William Cooper Procter Society recognizes and honors friends of Cincinnati Children’s who inform us that they have included the medical center in their will, estate plan or other deferred gift arrangement. Named in memory of Colonel Procter, whose visionary gift established our research endowment, this society acknowledges these generous individuals who have chosen to leave a legacy to improve children’s lives for generations to come.

“Anything you can do to get involved with Cincinnati Children’s is a privilege,” says Tom Cody, chairman of the Cincinnati Children’s Board of Trustees. In addition to his institutional leadership, Tom and his wife Mary Ellen are passionate philanthropists who are leading by example through their generous support of the Heart Institute. The institutes at Cincinnati Children’s are grounded on three mainstays–clinical care, research

and education. The Codys’ gift will impact all three. In addition to supporting continuing education for the institute’s pediatric cardiac specialists, it will also expand the Ventricular Assist Device (VAD) Program. VADs are mechanical pumps used to keep patients alive while they wait for heart transplants, and they are also being studied as a treatment to repair cardiac muscle damage, reducing the number of patients needing heart transplants.

When corporations and communities come together, miracles can happen. Cincinnati-area Walmart and Sam’s Club customers and employees rallied during the Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals’ Miracle Balloon Campaign benefiting Cincinnati Children’s. This year’s campaign was one of the most successful ever, more than doubling last year’s contribution.

“The children treated at Cincinnati Children’s hold a special place in the hearts of the Walmart and Sam’s

Club family,” says regional manager David Gose. “Our customers and associates are parents, aunts and uncles, brothers and sisters and of course, grandparents. When we see children who need medical care, we want to make a difference. The Miracle Balloon Campaign provided an opportunity for our customers and associates to give whatever they could afford to children who need the level of care that Cincinnati Children’s provides, and they gave without hesitation.”

Milt Kantor is a businessman, a husband, a father, a grandfather and a friend to many. As an avid philanthropist for most of his life, Milt has called upon many of his friends in the world of sports to share their time and resources for causes that are close to his heart.

For his 85th birthday, Milt’s family gathered some of those sports legends, and 500 other friends, to celebrate his

life and his generosity during an event that benefited the Cancer and Blood Diseases Institute at Cincinnati Children’s. Guests included Bobby Knight, Cris Collinsworth, “Big O” Oscar Robertson, Dolph Schayes, Bob Huggins and others who were thrilled to honor Milt while supporting the health and healing that Cincinnati Children’s provides for kids around the world.
