Learning Objectives After completing this program, participants should be able to: • Identify factors that might determine eligibility for and timing of high-dose chemotherapy (HDT) followed by autologous stem cell transplant (ASCT) in patients with multiple myeloma (MM) • Differentiate treatment strategies for patients with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma who are eligible for HDT/ASCT • Identify barriers in access to HDT/ASCT for MM • Review the rationale for conditioning regimens in patients with multiple myeloma who are eligible for HDT/ASCT • Compare and contrast pertinent data regarding a new formulation of melphalan
Revised International Staging System (R-ISS) for MM • R-ISS I (n = 871) • Including ISS stage I (serum β2-microglobulin level < 3.5 mg/L and serum albumin level ≥ 3.5 g/dL) • No high-risk CA [del(17p) and/or t(4;14) and/or t(14;16)] • Normal LDH level (less than the upper limit of normal range) • R-ISS III (n = 295) • Including ISS stage III (serum β2-microglobulin level > 5.5 mg/L) • High-risk CA or high LDH level • R-ISS II (n = 1,894) • Including all the other possible combinations *At a median follow-up of 46 months Palumbo, et al. JCO. 2015;33(26):2863-2869.
Indications for Considering Treatment (IMWG Consensus Guidelines) • At least one of the CRAB Criteria (evidence of end organ damage) • ≥60% clonal bone marrow plasma cells • Serum involved/uninvolved free light chain ratio ≥100 • >1 Focal bone lesion (≥5mm) on MRI • “Clinical judgement” Rajkumar, et al. Lancet Oncology. 2014;15(12):e538-48.
Available Therapies and Phases of Treatment for MM Initial Therapy Consolidation / Maintenance Treatment ofRelapsed Disease ASCT if eligible* Supportive Care *Transplant eligibility may impact initial treatment decisions
Treatment Goals for MM • Disease Response and Survival • Rapid cytoreduction to relieve symptoms • Minimize treatment-related toxicity • Prolong survival – Overall Survival • Symptom Control • Ameliorate pain and other disease-related symptoms • Prevent further organ damage • Preserve performance status and quality of life

International Myeloma Working Group (IMWG) Consensus Recommendations for Cell Doses • Is there an optimum CD34+ cell dose to be infused? • Cell doses > 3 × 106 CD34+ cells/kg associated with better outcomes[1-3] • Studies primarily retrospective • Recommendation: the issue of optimal CD34+ cell dosing in aHSCT for MM requires a prospective clinical trial • Is there an optimal dose of CD34+ cells to be collected? • Recommendations[1] • Minimum target of 4 × 106 CD34+ cells/kg should be collected • If feasible an average of 8-10 × 106 CD34+ cells/kg should be collected • These targets allow most patients to undergo at least 2 aHSCT, each with an optimal cell dose aHSCT, autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation; MM, multiple myeloma.

Factors to be Considered in the Treatment of Elderly Patients • Lower functional capacity (performance status, activities of daily living [ADL score], cognitive function) • Comorbidities(renal, pulmonary, hepatic, cardiac, bone marrow) • Disability • Frailty(weakness, poor endurance, weight loss, low physical activity, slow gait speed) • Ahigher prevalence of unfavorable prognostic factors (β2-microglobulin ≥3.5 μg/mL, albumin <3.5 g/dL, hemoblobin <10 g/dL, International Staging System [ISS] stage III) • Polypharmacy • Lower capacity to tolerate toxicity • Therapy should be adjusted according to risk groups defined by age, comorbidity, organ function, disability, and frailty Ludwig, et al.Oncologist. 2012;17: 592–606
Maintenance in Myeloma • PFS advantage[1-3] • OS improvements?[2] • Toxicities of treatment • Myelosuppression[3] • Second primary malignancies[3,4] • Quality of life • Unclear whether all patients benefit from maintenance • Unclear which agent and duration of therapy [1]Attal M, et al. ASH 2013. Abstract 406. [2] McCarthy PL, et al. N Engl J Med. 2012;366:1770-1781. [3] Attal M, et al. N Engl J Med. 2012;366:1782-1791. [4] Palumbo A, et al. Lancet Oncol. 2014;15:333-342.
