RESUMEN

INTRODUCTION: Several frailty assessment tools exist for classifying older adults with multiple myeloma (MM) by their frailty status, such as the International Myeloma Working Group (IMWG) frailty score and the simplified frailty scale. The level of agreement between the IMWG frailty score and the simplified frailty scale remains unknown. MATERIALS AND METHODS: In a cross-sectional analysis of a prospective cohort study, we identified adults ≥50y initiating a new treatment regimen for MM who underwent a baseline geriatric assessment (GA). Using data from the GA and electronic health records, we measured IMWG frailty score and the simplified frailty scale, and classified patients by frailty status. We merged the fit and intermediate-fit categories of IMWG frailty score to create a binary category (frail, non-frail) for comparison with simplified frailty scale and measured their agreement using Cohen's Kappa statistic. We tested the diagnostic utility of simplified frailty scale as a screening tool using IMWG frailty score as the gold standard, using sensitivity, specificity, and decision curve analysis (DCA). RESULTS: Three hundred older adults were included with a median age at diagnosis of 64y; 56 % were male and 63 % were non-Hispanic White. By IMWG frailty score, 41 % were fit, 38 % intermediate-fit, and 21 % frail, while simplified frailty scale indicated 22 % frail and 78 % non-frail patients. The agreement between IMWG frailty score and simplified frailty scale was moderate (κ = 0.43); 19 % of the patients were misclassified. Despite discordance, when testing simplified frailty scale as a screening tool, we found a sensitivity of 56 % and specificity of 87 % to diagnose frailty. Substituting patient-reported performance status (PS) instead of physician reported ECOG PS led to a sensitivity of 91 % and specificity of 61 %. DCA showed that using simplified frailty scale (with patient reported PS) as a screening tool led to a 43-44 % reduction in the number of unnecessary GAs across reasonable threshold probabilities. DISCUSSION: IMWG frailty score and simplified frailty scale have limited agreement with each other. This creates a possibility of misclassification bias and poses difficulty in comparing existing literature on frail patients with MM. Despite discordance, simplified frailty scale may have a potential role as a screening tool, when using patient-reported PS.

RESUMEN

Increasing number of older adults with Plasma Cell Disorders (PCDs) are receiving autologous stem cell transplant (ASCT) in the US. Hospital associated disability (HAD) is a common complication associated with acute care hospitalization among older adults. To estimate the prevalence and prognostic significance of HAD among older adults with MM undergoing ASCT. This retrospective cohort study used consecutive adults ≥ 18 y with PCD receiving ASCT at a single institution between 1/2013 and 5/2023. Trained nursing staff assessed Katz Activities of Daily Living (ADL) at admission and every 3 days thereafter under our Virtual Acute Care for Elders program. The primary outcome was development of HAD defined as ≥1 point decline on the Katz Activities of Daily Living (ADL) scale from hospital admission to discharge. We examined the association between putative risk factors such as age, Karnofsky performance status (KPS), baseline ADL score, Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation-specific Comorbidity Index (HCT-CI) and HAD using modified Poisson regression models with robust variance estimators. Subsequently, we studied the impact of HAD on downstream adverse events including 30-day readmission rates and long term survival. We included 778 adults with a median age of 62 y (QR 56-68 y), with 56% males and 55% non-Hispanic Whites. In the overall population, 112 (14.4%) developed HAD, with much higher incidence among older adults ≥ 65 y compared to those <65 y at ASCT (22% vs. 9%, P value < .01). In multivariable analysis, increasing age (RR 1.56; 95% CI 1.25-1.94, per 10 y increase), female sex (RR 1.79; 95% CI 1.27-2.53) and KPS ≤ 70 (RR 2.55; 95% CI 1.32-4.94) were associated with an increased risk of developing HAD. As compared to those without, patients with HAD had a two-fold higher risk of 30-day readmission (95% CI 1.16-3.39) and a 3.7-fold increased risk of all-cause mortality (95% CI 2.15-6.22). Nearly one in 4 older adults ≥ 65 y developed HAD while undergoing ASCT which was associated with a two-fold increased risk of 30-day readmission. Interventions to prevent HAD and its downstream consequences are critically needed.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Obesity is an established modifiable risk factor for multiple myeloma (MM). However, associations of obesity and MM risk in Black populations, for whom obesity and MM are more common, is less clear. METHODS: Using participants enrolled in the Integrative Molecular And Genetic Epidemiology study, we evaluated the association of anthropometric traits with MM risk overall, stratified by race and sex. Among cases, we assessed the association of BMI with the presence of myeloma-defining events. RESULTS: We observed an 18% increase in MM risk for every 5 kg/m2 increase in usual adult BMI. Participants with severe obesity (BMI ≥ 40 kg/m2) had the highest risk compared to those with a normal usual adult BMI (18.5-24.9 kg/m2; OR = 1.87, 95% CI 1.25-2.80), particularly among Black men (OR = 3.94, 95% CI 0.90-17.36). Furthermore, MM cases with overweight/obesity (BMI ≥ 25 kg/m2) were more likely to present at diagnosis with low renal function (OR = 1.62, 95% CI 1.09-2.40), deletion 13q (OR = 1.73, 95% CI 1.08-2.76) and lytic lesions or compression fractures (OR = 2.39, 95% CI 0.82-7.01) and less likely to present with severe diffuse osteopenia (OR = 0.51, 95% CI 0.31-0.81). CONCLUSIONS: Findings underscore the importance of obesity as a modifiable risk factor for MM, particularly in high-risk populations, and for the clinical presentation of disease.

RESUMEN

INTRODUCTION: Health outcome preferences of older adults with cancer vary based on burden/intensity of treatment and its impact on health outcomes such as survival, quality of life, and functional and cognitive well-being. We studied the association between age and health outcome preferences of adults with multiple myeloma (MM). MATERIALS AND METHODS: Using a single center prospective cohort study, we identified adults ≥50y with MM who underwent geriatric assessment (GA) within 30 days of initiating a new line of therapy. We assessed health outcome preferences using a nine-item health outcome preference scale where patients were asked to prioritize varying treatment outcomes in a Likert scale. We compared the response patterns for each item by age group (50-69y vs ≥70y) using Mantel-Haenszel chi-squared test. For items significant in bi-variable analysis, we built proportional odds models to study the association between age and health outcome preferences adjusting for sex, race, frailty, and high risk cytogenetics. RESULTS: We included 119 patients with a median age of 65y. Of these, 58% were male, 56% were non-Hispanic White, and 28% were frail. Older adults (≥70y) versus younger adults (50-69y) were more likely to prioritize health outcomes such as quality of life (53% vs. 34%), functional independence (74% vs. 33%), maintaining cognitive ability (79% vs. 54%), and living free from pain (50% vs 18%) over longer survival (all p values <0.05). In multivariable models, each one interquartile range (IQR) increase in age was associated with increased odds of prioritization of functional independence [adjusted odds ratio (aOR) 2.55, 95% confidence interval (CI) (1.44-4.53)], maintaining cognitive ability [aOR 1.75, 95% CI (1.01-3.02)], and willingness to take milder/ fewer treatments [aOR 2.40, 95% CI (1.36-4.26)] over longer survival. Similarly, each IQR increase in age was associated with decreased odds of prioritization of survival over quality of life [aOR 0.45, 95% CI (0.26-0.78)] and survival over being free from pain [aOR 0.39, 95% CI (0.22-0.69)]. DISCUSSION: Three out of four older adults (age ≥ 70y) with MM rated other outcomes, particularly functional and cognitive well-being, above survival. Determining the most significant treatment outcomes for older adults with MM can aid in establishing treatment goals and enhance shared decision-making.

RESUMEN

In the MASTER study (NCT03224507), daratumumab+carfilzomib/lenalidomide/dexamethasone (D-KRd) demonstrated promising efficacy in transplant-eligible newly diagnosed multiple myeloma (NDMM). In GRIFFIN (NCT02874742), daratumumab+lenalidomide/bortezomib/dexamethasone (D-RVd) improved outcomes for transplant-eligible NDMM. Here, we present a post hoc analysis of patients with high-risk cytogenetic abnormalities (HRCAs; del[17p], t[4;14], t[14;16], t[14;20], or gain/amp[1q21]). Among 123 D-KRd patients, 43.1%, 37.4%, and 19.5% had 0, 1, or ≥2 HRCAs. Among 120 D-RVd patients, 55.8%, 28.3%, and 10.8% had 0, 1, or ≥2 HRCAs. Rates of complete response or better (best on study) for 0, 1, or ≥2 HRCAs were 90.6%, 89.1%, and 70.8% for D-KRd, and 90.9%, 78.8%, and 61.5% for D-RVd. At median follow-up (MASTER, 31.1 months; GRIFFIN, 49.6 months for randomized patients/59.5 months for safety run-in patients), MRD-negativity rates as assessed by next-generation sequencing (10-5) were 80.0%, 86.4%, and 83.3% for 0, 1, or ≥2 HRCAs for D-KRd, and 76.1%, 55.9%, and 61.5% for D-RVd. PFS was similar between studies and superior for 0 or 1 versus ≥2 HRCAs: 36-month PFS rates for D-KRd were 89.9%, 86.2%, and 52.4%, and 96.7%, 90.5%, and 53.5% for D-RVd. These data support the use of daratumumab-containing regimens for transplant-eligible NDMM with HCRAs; however, additional strategies are needed for ultra-high-risk disease (≥2 HRCAs).

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Low skeletal muscle mass (LSMM) and/or, function associated with an increased risk of treatment-related toxicities and inferior overall survival (OS) among adults with solid malignancies. However, the association between LSMM and treatment-related toxicities among adults with haematologic malignancies remains unclear. METHODS: Using a pre-published protocol (CRD42020197814), we searched seven bibliographic databases from inception to 08/2021 for studies reporting the impact of LSMM among adults ≥18 years with a known haematologic malignancy. The primary outcome of interest was OS, and secondary outcomes included progression free survival (PFS) and non-relapse mortality (NRM). These effect sizes were quantified in terms of hazards ratio (HR) along with 95% confidence interval (CI) and pooled across studies using a DerSimonian-Laird random-effects model. Heterogeneity was assessed using the Cochran's Q and the I2 statistic. All hypothesis testing was two-sided with an alpha of 0.05. RESULTS: Of 3791 studies screened, we identified 20 studies involving 3468 patients with a mean age of 60 years; 44% were female and the most common malignancy was diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (42%). Most studies measured muscle mass using single slice computed tomography imaging at the L3 level. The presence of LSMM was associated with worse OS (pooled HR = 1.81, 95% CI = 1.48-2.22, P < 0.001) with moderate heterogeneity (Cochran's Q, I2 = 60.4%), PFS (pooled HR = 1.61, 95% CI = 1.28-2.02, P < 0.001) with moderate heterogeneity (Cochran's Q, I2 = 66.0%). Similarly, LSMM was associated with worse NRM (HR = 1.72, 95% CI = 1.34-2.22, P < 0.001) with little evidence of heterogeneity (Cochran's Q, I2 = 0.0%). CONCLUSIONS: LSMM is associated with worse survival outcomes among adults with haematologic malignancies. Further research into understanding the underlying mechanism of this association and mitigating the negative effects of LSMM among adults with haematologic malignancies is needed.

RESUMEN

The combination of anti-CD38 monoclonal antibodies to a proteasome inhibitor, an immunomodulatory agent and dexamethasone (quadruplet-QUAD) in sequence with autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) leads to deep and durable responses in newly diagnosed multiple myeloma (NDMM). Disease progression in the first year post-QUADs is uncommon. We analysed 274 consecutive NDMM patients treated with QUADs + ASCT. After a median follow-up of 21.3 months, 20 patients had disease progression <18 months and 21 had progression ≥18 months after the onset of a QUAD regimen. All patients received subsequent anti-MM therapy, and 38 were evaluated for response. Nine (22.0%) received T-cell redirecting therapy as the next treatment, and 21 (51.2%) at some point in the treatment course. Response to next therapy was 26.3% for patients with progression <18 months and 52.6% for those with progression ≥18 months after the onset of a QUAD regimen. Median PFS on the next therapy was 2.5 months (95% CI 1.5-3.4) for those with progression <18 months and 7.0 months (95% CI 3.6-10.5) for those with progression ≥18 months. Efforts should focus on the early deployment of therapies with new mechanism of action for patients experiencing treatment failure after QUADs.

RESUMEN

The treatment of relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma (MM) has evolved to include several new options. These include new combinations with second generation proteasome inhibitors (PI); second generation immunomodulators, monoclonal antibodies, CAR T cells, bispecific antibodies, selinexor, venetoclax, and many others. Most patients with MM undergo several cycles of remissions and relapse, and therefore need multiple lines of combination therapies. Selecting treatment options for relapsed/refractory MM requires consideration of resistance status to specific classes, and patient-specific factors such as age and other comorbidities should be considered. The NCCN Guidelines for MM provide a framework on which to base decisions regarding workup, treatment, and follow-up of newly diagnosed and previously treated MM. This manuscript outlines the recommendations from NCCN Guidelines for MM specific to relapsed/refractory disease.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: For patients with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma, reaching minimal residual disease (MRD) negativity after treatment is associated with improved outcomes; however, the use of MRD to modulate therapy remains elusive. We present the final analysis of the MASTER trial of daratumumab, carfilzomib, lenalidomide, and dexamethasone (Dara-KRd) therapy in patients with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma, in which MRD status is used to modulate treatment duration and cessation. METHODS: MASTER was a multicentre, single-arm, phase 2 trial conducted in five academic medical centres in the USA. Eligible participants were 18 years or older with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma (measurable by serum or urine protein electrophoresis or serum free light chains), a life expectancy of at least 12 months, and an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status of 0-2, and had received no previous treatment for multiple myeloma except up to one cycle of therapy containing bortezomib, cyclophosphamide, and dexamethasone. The study was enriched for participants with high-risk chromosome abnormalities (HRCAs). During the induction phase, participants received four 28-day cycles of Dara-KRd, each comprising daratumumab (16 mg/kg intravenously on days 1, 8, 15, and 22), carfilzomib (56 mg/m2 intravenously on days 1, 8, and 15), lenalidomide (25 mg orally on days 1-21), and dexamethasone (40 mg orally or intravenously on days 1, 8, 15, and 22); induction was followed by autologous haematopoietic stem-cell transplantation and up to two phases of consolidation with Dara-KRd. We assessed MRD by next-generation sequencing after or during each phase. The primary endpoint was reaching MRD negativity (<10-5). Participants who reached MRD negativity after or during two consecutive phases stopped treatment and began observation with MRD surveillance (MRD-SURE); participants who did not reach two consecutive MRD-negative results received maintenance lenalidomide. Secondary endpoints included progression-free survival and cumulative incidence of progression. All analyses were conducted in the intention-to-treat population. This trial is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT03224507, and is complete. FINDINGS: Between Mar 21, 2018, and Oct 23, 2020, 123 participants were recruited to the study, of whom 70 (57%) were men, 53 (43%) were women, 94 (76%) were non-Hispanic White, 25 (20%) were non-Hispanic Black, and four (3%) were of another race or ethnicity. The median age of participants was 61 years (IQR 55-68), and 24 (20%) were aged 70 years or older. The median duration of follow up was 42·2 months (IQR 34·5-46·0). Of the 123 participants, 53 (43%) had no HRCAs, 46 (37%) had one HRCA, and 24 (20%) had two or more HRCAs. For 118 (96%) of 123 participants, MRD was evaluable by next-generation sequencing; the remaining five had an absence of sufficiently unique clonogenic sequences to enable tracking by the assay. Of these 118 participants, 96 (81%, 95% CI 73-88) reached MRD of less than 10-5 (comprising 39 [78%, 64-88] of 50 participants with no HRCAs, 38 [86%, 73-95] of 44 participants with one HRCA, and 19 [79%, 58-93] of 24 participants with two or more HRCAs) and 84 (71%, 62-79) reached MRD-SURE and treatment cessation. 36-month progression-free survival among all 123 participants was 88% (95% CI 78-95) for participants with no HRCAs, 79% (67-88) for those with one HRCA, and 50% (30-70) for those with two or more HRCAs. For the 84 participants reaching MRD-SURE, the 24-month cumulative incidence of progression from cessation of therapy was 9% (95% CI 1-19) for participants with no HRCAs, 9% (1-18) for those with one HRCA, and 47% (23-72) for those with two or more HRCAs. 61 participants (comprising 52% of 118 MRD-evaluable participants and 73% of 84 participants who reached MRD-SURE) remain free of therapy and MRD-negative as of Feb 7, 2023. The most common grade 3-4 adverse events were neutropenia (43 patients, 35%), lymphopenia (28 patients, 23%), and hypertension (13 patients, 11%). Three treatment-emergent deaths were recorded: two sudden deaths and one due to viral infection, none of which were judged to be treatment-related. INTERPRETATION: This approach provided positive outcomes and a pathway for treatment cessation in most patients with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma. Outcomes for patients with ultra-high-risk multiple myeloma, defined as those with two or more HRCAs, remain unsatisfactory, and these patients should be prioritised for trials with early introduction of therapies with novel mechanisms of action.
