  5. Pre-activity Survey Question 1 Please rate your current level of confidence in treating and managing patients with MM: 1 2 3 4 5 Not knowledgeable Expert

  6. Pre-activity Survey Question 2 Please rate your current level of competence in using emerging data from clinical studies to individualize treatment options for patients with MM: 1 2 3 4 5 Not competent Expert

  7. Pre-program Survey Question 3 A 52-year-old patient presents with asymptomatic anemia of 10g/dL and total serum protein 10 g/L. The workup reveals multiple lytic lesions, an IgA kappa peak of 3.2, cytogenetic t4:14, 30% plasma cells, and Beta 2 microglobulin of 5.0. Which of the following options best describes the patient’s risk stratification and suitable induction therapy? • Low-risk; bortezomib + dexamethasone • High-risk; lenalidomide + bortezomib + dexamethasone • High-risk; thalidomide + melphalan + prednisone • Low-risk; thalidomide + dexamethasone

  8. Pre-program Survey Question 4 Which of the following is not a supportive care consideration that you would discuss with your patient being treated with a lenalidomide + dexamethasone regimen? • There is a very high risk of peripheral neuropathy with this regimen • Prophylactic treatment for deep vein thrombosis should be initiated • Anticipate the possibility of infection • There are long-term complications, such as diarrhea and fatigue

  9. Pre-program Survey Question 5 An 80-year-old male is diagnosed with MM. The work-up revealed 3 compression fractures, 60% kappa plasma cells in the bone marrow, normal calcium levels, hyperdiploidy on FISH, and comorbidities include diabetes, hypertension, obesity, and atrial fibrillation. He relapses after frontline lenalidomide + dexamethasone and second-line CyBorD. Relapse occurred 42 days after completion of CyBorD. What treatment option would you now consider for this patient? • Carfilzomib • Pomalidomide • Clinical trial • All of the above

  10. Pre-program Survey Question 6 Which of the following agents is not recommended by NCCN as maintenance therapy for multiple myeloma? • Lenalidomide • Pomalidomide • Thalidomide • Bortezomib • None of the above

  11. Multiple Myeloma: Epidemiology • Approximately 22,400 new cases in 2013 • 10,800 associated deaths • African Americans >2x • Hispanics 1.7x • Median age 66 years • Age <50 years: 10% • Age <40 years: 2% Cancer Facts and Figures. American Cancer Society. 2013.

  14. Importance of Progression Events CRAB CRITERIA • Calcium elevation • Renal disease • Anemia • Bone disease C A R B DurieBG et al. Leukemia. 2006;20:1467-1473.

  15. Multiple Myeloma: Prognosis • Survival statistics unknown now • If not high risk, many survive 10 years • High risk = 3 years • Some 10%-20% of patients have long-term control with SCT • Prognosis dictated by host features and genetics • High risk – 17p13, t(4;14), and t(14;16) • Gene expression profiling • Other markers: high LDH, hypodiploidy, IgA, plasmablastic • International Staging System (ISS) is useful to compare trials, not individually • ISS has replaced the Durie-Salmon staging system Fonseca R et al. Leukemia. 2009;23:2210-2221.

  16. Case Discussions

  17. Myeloma Tales of Two Cases Case 1 Case 2 55-year-old female presents with asymptomatic anemia of 10 g/dL and total serum protein 10 g/L Work-up reveals 30% plasma cells Cytogenetic t 4,14 IgA kappa peak of 3.2 Beta 2 microglobulin of 5.0 Survey multiple lytic lesions What induction therapy should she receive? • 55-year-old female presents with asymptomatic anemia of 10 g/dL and total serum protein 10 g/L • Work-up reveals • 30% plasma cells • Cytogenetic diploid • IgA kappa peak of 3.2 • Beta 2 microglobulin of 3.0/Albumin 2.0 g/dL • Survey no lytic lesions • What induction therapy should she receive?

  18. Q1. What is the preferred treatment regimen for Patient #1 & #2 at this point? • Thalidomide + dexamethasone (TD) • Lenalidomide + dexamethasone (RD) • Bortezomib + dexamethasone (VD) • Lenalidomide + bortezomib + dexamethasone (RVD) • Thalidomide + melphalan + prednisone (TMP)

  19. Q1. What is the preferred treatment regimen for Patient #1 & #2 at this point? • Thalidomide + dexamethasone (TD) • Lenalidomide + dexamethasone (RD) • Bortezomib + dexamethasone (VD) • Lenalidomide + bortezomib + dexamethasone (RVD) • Thalidomide + melphalan + prednisone (TMP) Answers 1-4 are correct, although most people would use a bortezomib-containing regimen in patients with high-risk disease. In general, answers 3 and 4 are best. Answer 5 is incorrect since treatment with melphalan will disqualify this patient as a candidate for SCT.

Richardson PG et al. Blood.2010;116:679-686. 2. Jakubowiak AJ et al. Blood. 2011;118:535-543. 3. Kumar S et al. Blood. 2009:114:1729-1735.

  24. Frontline Therapy for MM with RVD Regimen • RVD is highly effective for previously untreated MM • The first regimen to result in a 100% response rate (≥PR) without ASCT • Remarkably high rates of CR/nCR and ≥VGPR • Promising outcomes data; estimated 24-month PFS of 68% and OS of 95% with RVD ± ASCT • Favorable tolerability over a lengthy treatment period • Manageable toxicities • Only 2% G3 sensory PN, 6% DVT; no treatment-related mortality • All-grade PN 80%, but mainly G1/2 and reversible • Stem cell mobilization feasible and successful in almost all patients Richardson et al.Blood. 2010;116:679-686; Anderson, et al. J ClinOncol. 2010;28:15s(suppl; abstr 8016).

  25. What Toxicities Should You Monitor in These Patients?IMID-associated Deep Venous Thrombosis • Pathophysiology unclear • MM, unlike solid tumor does not express tissue factor • Platelet activation via cathepsin G • Prevention is key • Low risk aspirin • High risk anticoagulation • High dose dex, immobility, prior DVT, comorbidity • Pearls • Continue until at least 1-2 months post completion • Do not forget to bridge for surgical procedures • Not a reason to abandon treatment Palumbo A et al. Blood Rev. 2011;25:181-191. Richardson PG et al. Leukemia. 2012;26:595-608.

  26. Other Toxicities: Peripheral Neuropathy • Peripheral neuropathy (PN) – one of the most important complications of MM treatment • PN can be caused by MM itself, and particularly by certain therapies, including bortezomib, thalidomide, vinca alkaloids, and cisplatin • Up to 20% of MM patients have PN at diagnosis, and as many as 75% may experience treatment-emergent PN during therapy • Bortezomib causes any grade PN in 31% to 47% patients • Lower-than-expected rates of severe PN with bortezomib plus lenalidomide combinations, with grade 3 PN rates of 3% and 2% with bortezomib, lenalidomide, and dexamethasone (RVD) in frontline and relapsed/refractory patients, respectively Palumbo A et al. Blood Rev. 2011;25:181-191. Richardson PG et al. Leukemia. 2012;26:595-608.

  27. Q2. What are the factors to consider when choosing supportive care for a patient treated with lenalidomide/dexamethasone alone? • You must start some form of DVT prophylaxis • You must start acyclovir • Infections are possible • High-dose dexamethasone is preferable in the younger patients • A history of DVT is an absolute contraindication • The risk of PN is minimal • Long-term complications might include diarrhea and fatigue

  28. Q2. What are the factors to consider when choosing supportive care for a patient treated with lenalidomide/dexamethasone alone? You must start some form of DVT prophylaxis You must start acyclovir Infections are possible High-dose dexamethasone is preferable in the younger patients A history of DVT is an absolute contraindication The risk of PN is minimal Long-term complications might include diarrhea and fatigue Note: According to the updated ASCO guidelines, patients receiving dexamethasone should receive VTE prophylaxis.

  29. Q3. Would you recommend autologous transplantation for Patient #1 & #2 and at what point would you recommend it? • Recommend participation in a clinical trial • Offer autologous transplantation after successful induction therapy • Allogeneic transplantation after successful induction • RVD therapy without collection of stem cells or a planned maintenance strategy

  30. Q3. Would you recommend autologous transplantation for Patient #1 & #2 and at what point would you recommend it? • Recommend participation in a clinical trial • Offer autologous transplantation after successful induction therapy • Allogeneic transplantation after successful induction • RVD therapy without collection of stem cells or a planned maintenance strategy

  31. AutologousvsAllogeneic AUTOLOGOUS • High-dose therapy with reinfusion of own cryopreserved cells • Safer, TRM <5% • Possible contamination with malignant cells • No graft-vs-malignancy effect • Higher risk of relapse ALLOGENEIC • Immunosuppressive Rx with infusion of cells from another person • Risk of rejection, GVHD • Higher risk, TRM 10%-40% • Graft-vs-malignancy occurs • Lower risk of relapse • Can perform in diseases in which blood and BM involved

  40. New Patterns of Relapse • 64 out of 153 asymptomatic patients had routine imaging available. • Twenty-five (40%) had new bone lesions by SS (n = 12), PET/CT (n = 11), or MRI (n = 2) despite absence of any prior suspicion. Zamarin D et al. Bone Marrow Transplant. 2013;48:419-424.

  41. Case 3 • A 72-year-old male is diagnosed with MM. He started with back pain which lead to the discovery of anemia (Hgb 9.1) and 3 compression fractures • A BM showed 60% kappa plasma cells • His IgG is 4200 mg/dL, kappa FLC is 79 mg/dL, beta 2 microglobulin 8, creatinine 1.0, calcium is normal • FISH shows hyperdiploidy and no -17 or -13 • He has a complicated PMH • CAD with stent 2 years previous • Depression • Type 2 diabetes, diet controlled • HTN • Obesity • Atrial fibrillation • He is retired and recently widowed
