  2. Natural Course of MM

  3. Progress in the Treatment of MM in the Past 40 Years

  4. Multiple Myeloma Pathophysiology 4 Dysregulation of cyclins, oncogenes, and tumor suppressors1 Cytogenetic changes and/or mutations1 DC Failure of immune surveillance2-3 MM tumor cells Immunosuppression2 ICAM-1 Cytokines and growth factors2 Stromal cell support, TNF- production4-5 These events lead to uncontrolled tumor cell growth DC, dendritic cell; MM, multiple myeloma; NK, natural killer; NKT, natural killer T cell; TNF, tumor necrosis factor.

  5. Interaction of MM Cells and BM Microenvironment Hideshima T, Mitsiades C, Tonon G, Richardson PG, Anderson KC. Nat Rev Cancer 2007;7(8):585-98.

Mechanisms of Novel Therapy in MM Targeting MM cell IGF-1 inhibitor, CD40 Ab, elotuzumab,HSP 90 inhibitors, plitidepsin, everolimus, temsirolimus (mTORi) Targeting MM cell and BM milieu Bortezomib, carfilzomib, NP1052, MLN9708, thalidomide, lenalidomide, pomalidomide, HDACi, vorinostat, panobinostat, romidepsin, perifosine Targeting BM milieu IKK inhibitors, defibrotide, plerixafor, p38MAPK inhibitors, IL6 Ab Hideshima T, Mitsiades C, Tonon G, Richardson PG, Anderson KC.

  8. Changing the Treatment Landscape of MM by Novel Agents • Bortezomib, lenalidomide/ dex, thalidomide/ dex, bortezomib/ liposomal doxorubicin, bortezomib/ MP, bortezomib/ dex • Targeting MM in the BM microenvironment to overcome conventional drug resistance in vitro and in vivo • Effective in relapsed/refractory MM • Effective as induction/first-line therapy • Emerging role of transplant/maintenance

  9. Treatment Goal in MM Patients • Appropriate balance between treatment efficacy, toxicity and costs

  10. Cure VS Control • Cure as treatment goal • Therapeutic aim to achieve CR • Use intensive upfront therapy to maximize the chance of achieving CR  longer PFS, TTP • “CR correlates with prolonged OS ?” • Disease control as treatment goal • Therapeutic aim to prolong OS • Use less intensive, sequential approach to balance efficacy with quality of life • Leave reserve for later salvage therapy • Not all studies support correlation between CR and OS

  11. Actions to Achieve Cure • To eradicate the tumor clone (stem cells) • To achieve and maintain the best possible response • A small number of residual tumor cells may persist under control of immune system for long time • Avoid over-treatment

  12. High risk High ISS stage Chromosomal aberrations by FISH del 17p t(4;14) t(14;16) Metaphase cytogenetic del 13 or 13q- Other factors LDH IgA subtype Extramedullary disease Renal impairment High serum free light chain Plasmablastic feature PC leukemia IMWG Consensus Recommendations on Risk Assessment

  13. Aim of Induction Therapy • Prevent and reverse end-organ dysfunction • Minimize toxicity associated with induction regimen • Induce deep response

  14. Current Induction Regimens • Two-drug • Bortezomib-dexamethasone • Lenalidomide-dex or thalidomide-dex • Three-drug • Thalidomide, bortezomib, dex • Lenalidomide, bortezomib, dex • Cyclophosphamide, bortezomib, dex • Bortezomib, doxorubicin, dex • Four-drug • Cyclophosphamide, lenalidomide, bortezomib, dex • Cyclophosphamide, bortezomib, thalidomide, dex • Lenalidomide, bortezomib, liposomal doxorubicin, dex

  15. Impact of CR in the ASCT Setting • In the ASCT setting, there is a large body of evidence showing an association between optimal response (CR/VGPR) and long-term outcome (PFS and OS) • 10 prospective trials (2991 patients): all showed a positive correlation (statistically significant in 8). Similar findings in 5/8 retrospective trials (Van de Velde. Haematologica 2007;92:1399.) • Significant correlation between maximal response and outcome prospective studies (<0.00001) & retrospective studies (<0.00001)

  16. MRD evaluation by PCR (Qualitative & Semi-Q) in MM patients: Prognostic Value

  17. Distinction between Myelomatous & Normal Plasma Cells GEM2000 & GEM2005: Impact on survival of achieving an immunophenotypic response after HDT/ASCT independent of induction regimen

  18. Prognostic Relevance of Durable CR

  19. Maintenance Therapy in MM Ludwig H, et al. IMWG consensus on maintenance therapy in multiple myeloma. Blood 2012;119:3003-15.

  20. TTP with and Without Lenalidomide Maintenance CALGB 100104, ASH 2010 update.

  21. 23 deaths in the lenalidomide arm and 39 deaths in the placebo arm p value=0.018 Placebo patients who had PD were not eligible to cross over to lenalidomide on study CALGB 100104, follow up to 04/17/2011 Median follow-up of 28 months

  22. Selection of appropriate patients Young without comorbidity No adverse cytogenetics risks Combinations of novel agents during induction Integration of ASCT after induction? Achieving more depth of CR  Immunophenotypic CR Consolidation Maintenance therapy with novel agents Possibility of Cure?
