  1. Overview of Multiple Myeloma

  2. The Basics of Multiple Myeloma This program is supported by educational grants from Celgene Corporation, Millennium: , and Onyx Pharmaceuticals.

  3. What Is Multiple Myeloma? • Cancer of the plasma cells in bone marrow • Growth of myeloma cells: • Disrupts normal bone marrow function • Reduces normal immune function • Results in abnormal production and release of monoclonal protein into blood and/or urine • Destroys and invades surrounding bone Barlogie B, et al. In: Williams Hematology; 2006. Durie BG. IMF 2007.

  4. Multiple Myeloma Epidemiology • Death rates • Decreased during 1991-2005 • 11.3% decrease for women, 7.25% decrease for men • Risk factors • Unknown in the majority of cases • Increased with age, male sex, obesity, and black race • Variable response to treatment and variation in survival • From a few mos to > 10 yrs • High-risk attributes are thought to play a primary role • 20% of patients survive > 10 yrs, regardless of therapy • Novel agents may neutralize the effects of some high-risk features Badros AZ.

  5. M-protein Marrow infiltration Myeloma Can Result in a Broad Spectrum of Clinical Manifestations Renal compromise (30%) Neuropathy (33%) Hyperviscosity Amyloidosis Immune deficiency Infection (15%) Multiple myeloma cells Hypercalcemia (15% to 20%) Destruction of bone Bone pain Lytic lesions (70%) Hoffman R.

  6. Classification of Myeloma Heavy chain: • IgG, IgA, IgD, IgM, IgE • 77% of myeloma cases • IgG and IgA most common Nonsecretory: • No detectable immunoglobulin • 1% to 2% of myeloma cases Light chain (Bence-Jones protein): • Kappa (κ) or lambda (λ) • 20% of myeloma cases Variable region Light chain Heavy chain Constant region Kumar SK, et al.

  7. Disease Trajectory Aggressive and Stromal Independent Nonmalignant Accumulation Malignant Transformation Plasma cell leukemia Stromaangiogenesis and IL-6dependent MGUS Smoldering Myeloma Multiple Myeloma • < 3 g M-protein • < 10% clonal BMPC • No MM-related end-organ damage • 1%/yr risk of progression to MM • ≥ 30 g/L M-protein • ≥ 10% clonal BMPC • No MM-related end-organ damage • 10%/yr risk of progression to MM in the first 5 yrs • ≥ 10% clonal BMPC • M-protein in serum and/or urine • ≥ 1 CRAB features of disease related to organ damage C: Calcium elevation > 11.5 mg/L or ULN R: Renal dysfunction (serum creatinine > 2 mg/dL) A: Anemia (Hb < 10 g/dL or 2 g < normal) B: Bone disease (lytic lesions or osteoporosis) Kuehl WM, et al.

  10. Monoclonal Protein—M Spike Normal SPEP Abnormal SPEP • Amount/type of M-protein varies among patients (IgG, IgA 80% of cases) • Abnormal M-protein (immunoglobulin) loses immune function and adheres and binds to tissues Barlogie B, et al. In: Williams Hematology; 2006. p. 1501. Durie. IMF 2007. MMRF. Intro to Myeloma. 2005.

Treatment of Multiple Myeloma Confirmed Diagnosis of Multiple Myeloma: CRAB Criteria Determination of transplant eligibility Immediate interventions for serious adverse events Individualized Treatment Selection for Induction Therapy Transplant Eligible Works rapidly (CR, nCR, VGPR) Well tolerated Spares stem cells Level of evidence: 1 or 2A Transplant Ineligible Achieving a CR or nCR Level of evidence: 1 or 2A Tolerability and QoL PS and comorbidities Continued Treatment Salvage therapy Maintenance therapy NCCN. Clinical practice guidelines in oncology: multiple myeloma. v.2.2014.

  21. Clinical Considerations in Deciding Induction Therapy • High tumor burden • Pulse dexamethasone • Combination therapies with alkylators and IMiDS and bortezomib • Renal failure • Pulse dexamethasone • Combination therapies with alkylators and thalidomide and bortezomib (role of lenalidomide uncertain) • Hypercalcemia • Pulse dexamethasone • Bisphosphonates • Frail • Avoid high-dose dexamethasone • Clotting or bleeding history • Assess risk of use of lenalidomide/ thalidomide and anticoagulation • Preexisting neuropathy • Assess use of bortezomib/ thalidomide • Cytogenetic abnormalities • Indication for bortezomib/ lenalidomide Niesvizky R, et al.

  22. NCCN Recommendations for Adjunctive Treatment • Bone disease • Bisphosphonates (category 1) • Radiation therapy • Orthopedic consultation • Vertebroplasty or kyphoplasty • Hypercalcemia • Hydration, steroids, furosemide • Zoledronic acid preferred • Hyperviscosity • Plasmapheresis • Anemia • Consider erythropoietin • Infection • IVIG for recurrent infections • Pneumovax and influenza vaccine • PCP, herpes and antifungal prophylaxis for high-dose orlong-term steroids • Herpes zoster prophylaxis with bortezomib • Renal dysfunction • Avoid aggravating factors: contrast, NSAIDs, dehydration • Not a contraindication to HCT • Monitor bisphosphonates closely • Coagulation/thrombosis • Prophylactic anticoagulation with IMiDs NCCN.

  23. Epidemiology of Multiple Myeloma • 23,500 new cases and 10,710 deaths from myeloma were expected in the United States in 2012 • More common in men than in women • Higher incidence in blacks vs whites (2:1) • Median age at diagnosis: 70 yrs Cancer facts and figures 2012.
