  4. As you discuss with him his disease and his prognosis, he is concerned that his age precludes him from aggressive therapy. You advise him: He is a “young person with lots of experience,” and his age should not preclude him from receiving aggressive therapy with the intent of changing the natural history of his disease Patients over the age of 65 should not be considered for aggressive therapies Case Discussion

  5. Nearly half of multiple myeloma patients are considered elderly Current distinction of elderly based on transplant eligibility (European and North American trials) Patients under 65 years of age, 35% Older patients from 65 to 75 years of age, 28% Elderly patients over 75, 37% 37% 28% Elderly Older 35% The Elderly Patient The median age at diagnosis is 70 years .

  10. Medline/OVID search from 1980 – Mar 2008 13 studies (4396 patients) meeting the criteria: randomized comparative trials in newly diagnoses MM reporting CR or CR/nCR and survival (either median survival or survival rate) Percent improvement in survival for each percent increase in the CR/nCR rate was calculated for each study Median not available, OS calculated from 2yr (San Miguel), 3yr (Palumbo) and 5yr (Zervas) estimates CR in Non-Transplant Setting van de Velde et al. Haematologica 2007 • 5 of 13 studies failed to show association: primarily due to the confounding effect of a therapy that generates high CR and is simultaneously too toxic • Two polarizing impact of a therapy on survival (higher CR leading to longer survival vs higher toxicity leading to shorter survival) confounds analysis

  11. Hematologic CR Correlates with Long-term PFS and OS in Elderly Patients Treated with Novel Agents • Retrospective analysis: 3 randomized European trials of GIMEMA and HOVON groups (N=1175) • First-line treatment • MP (n=332), MPT (n=332), VMP (n=257), VMPT-VT (n=254) • Significant benefit also seen when analysis is restricted to patients >75 years old OS PFS CR CR VGPR Probability Probability VGPR PR PR P<0.001 P<0.001 Gay et al.
