•Median age at diagnosis: 69 yrs•5-yr survival has improved substantially (43% in 2002-
2008 vs 28% in 1987-1989) due to novel agents• Sensitive to treatment, but not curable• Progression inevitable

Multiple Myeloma
•Median age at diagnosis: 69 yrs•5-yr survival has improved substantially (43% in 2002-
2008 vs 28% in 1987-1989) due to novel agents• Sensitive to treatment, but not curable• Progression inevitable
• Goal of treatment: induce a long-term, disease-free survival with normal quality of life• For a long-term, disease-free survival depth of response is
important

For SMM • The Mayo Clinic model (2007-2008) uses
• M-protein (≥3 g/dL),
• BMPC% (≥10%),
• and the ratio of involved to uninvolved serum free light chains (FLCr)
(≥8)
• categorize patients into three risk categories, with a 76% risk of
progression in 5 years among those with all three of the above
characteristics.
• The Spanish model uses
• the proportion of BMPCs with aberrant PC phenotype on flow
cytometry (≥95%) and reduction in uninvolved immunoglobulins
(immunoparesis) to identify high-risk patients.
• Abnormalities detected on imaging of spine or whole body using
magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and underlying cytogenetic
abnormalities also guide clinicians in identifying high-risk patients.

MM Induction in Transplant-ineligible MM Patients: Triplets vs Doublets• Some comparative efficacy data available[1]
• VTD superior to TD, including in pts with t(4;14)[2]
• VTD superior to VD• CyBorD similar to VTD
• Triplet vs doublet still subject to some debate, due in part to lack of randomized data
• Appropriate use of doublet therapy? • Ineligibility issues, especially in the elderly• Transplant eligibility affects choice of regimen

Controversy aspects
![Page 39: Controversies in Multiple Myeloma · For SMM New risk classification will (possible) be available •Arjun Lakshman1, S. Vincent Rajkumar1, Francis K. Buadi1, et al. reported in Blood](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042409/5f263ea48108b66f6a378e61/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
The Who, When, and Why of Treatmenthttps://www.ashclinicalnews.org/features/controversies-myeloma-treatment/
• Recent large trials (including IFM 2009, Myeloma IX, POLLUX, and CASTOR) that have confirmed the prognostic significance of MRD, as MRD negativity is associated with better survival outcomes in both transplant-eligible and -ineligible patients.• “Those study showed that MRD negativity is associated with
a better prognosis, [but] should we use MRD testing routinely?”
![Page 40: Controversies in Multiple Myeloma · For SMM New risk classification will (possible) be available •Arjun Lakshman1, S. Vincent Rajkumar1, Francis K. Buadi1, et al. reported in Blood](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042409/5f263ea48108b66f6a378e61/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
• Double autologous hematopoietic cell transplantation is a good option for transplant-eligible patients (even those with high-risk disease), according to results from the EMN02/HO95 study, followed by consolidation therapy. (U.S. studies have not shown such an advantage to a second transplant.) • The role of maintenance therapy was controversial, with maintenance
associated with improved PFS and overall survival (OS) in patients with standard-risk disease, but only PFS for those with high-risk disease.
![Page 41: Controversies in Multiple Myeloma · For SMM New risk classification will (possible) be available •Arjun Lakshman1, S. Vincent Rajkumar1, Francis K. Buadi1, et al. reported in Blood](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042409/5f263ea48108b66f6a378e61/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
• For transplant-ineligible patients, • Long-fixed duration of carfilzomib, lenalidomide, and
dexamethasone (18 cycles) induced high rates of MRD-negativity and long PFS and OS, but the OS benefit of continuous therapy after induction was less clear-cut.
• Patients with relapsed or refractory MM had high rates of response and improvement in the quality of response when treated with continued therapy, according to results from the MM09 and MM10 trials.
• Role of novel agents vs. cost might be considered

Bisphosphonates in Osteopenic Patients• Diffuse osteopenia and/or osteolytic lesions afflict ~ 85% of MM patients[1]
• Decreases quality of life, PS
• Meta-analysis (N = 6692) of 20 trials comparing bisphosphonates to placebo/observation or to other bisphosphonates in MM[2]
• Significant reductions in pathologic vertebral fractures, SREs, and pain
• No significant increase in hypocalcemia vs no bisphosphonate
• No one bisphosphonate clearly superior, except zoledronic acid superior to placebo and etidronate in OS
• Note: In perimenopausal patients, OK to use calcium/vitamin D and bisphosphonates, but pay careful attention to risk[3]

Bortezomib: SC vs IV Administration
Subcutaneous• FDA approved SC in 2012
• Equivalent efficacy as IV (numerous studies)
• Reduced neuropathy, GI AEs
• Consider for patients with preexisting or high-risk PN
• 67.8% of patients prefer SC over IV
• 54 mins less �chair time� on average
• 46 mins less clinic time on average
Intravenous• FDA approved IV in 2003
• Highly effective myeloma therapy
• Neuropathy a notable AE
Reconstituting bortezomib (3.5 mg vial)
For SC administration, add 1.4 mL
0.9% sodium chloride
Hydration: a key nursing consideration, especially in patients with renal compromise
For IV administration, add 3.5 mL
0.9% sodium chloride

Guidelines for Bortezomib Dose Modification for Management of PN
Severity of PN Signs/Symptoms Modification of Dose and RegimenGrade 1 (paresthesia, weakness, and/or loss of reflexes without pain or loss of function)
Reduce current bortezomib dose by 1 level (1.3 to 1.0 to 0.7 mg/m2). For patients receiving a twice-wkly schedule, change to a once-per-wk schedule using the same dose. For patients with previous PN, consider starting with 1.3 mg/m2 once per wk. Alternatively, for patients with preexisting PN or at high risk of PN, consider subcutaneous administration.
Grade 1 with pain or grade 2 (no pain but interfering with basic activities of daily living)
For patients receiving twice per wk bortezomib, reduce current dose by 1 level or change to a once-per-wk schedule using the same dose. For patients receiving bortezomib on a once-per-wk schedule, reduce current dose by 1 level or consider temporary discontinuation; upon resolution (grade ≤ 1), restart once-per-wk dosing at lower dose level in cases of favorable benefit-to-risk ratio.
Grade 2 with pain, grade 3(limiting self-care and activitiesof daily living), or grade 4
Discontinue bortezomib.

Gene Expression Profiling (GEP) in MM
• NCCN: GEPs have potential to refine risk stratification in MM[1]
• qPCR is a potential surrogate for GEP arrays[2]
• High β2-M, low CDKN1A, and high SLC19A1 gene expression predict short TTP• High ISS stage, low CDKN2B, and high TBRG4 gene expression predict poor OS
• GEP assay available in MM[3,4]
• Provides risk-stratification data• Identifies genomic aberrations that may influence treatment

Frontline Therapy: Conclusions
• All combination therapies provide high response rates during induction; the optimal choice depends on patient characteristics, patient and physician preference, and toxicity profiles• Doublets or triplets are appropriate induction for transplant-ineligible
patients• Cytogenetics have the strongest prognostic significance
