RESUMO

PURPOSE: Given the high heterogeneity in survival for patients with multiple myeloma, it would be clinically useful to quantitatively predict the individual survival instead of attributing patients to two to four risk groups as in current models, for example, revised International Staging System (R-ISS), R2-ISS, or Mayo-2022-score. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Our aim was to develop a quantitative prediction tool for individual patient's 3-/5-year overall survival (OS) probability. We integrated established clinical and molecular risk factors into a comprehensive prognostic model and evaluated and validated its risk discrimination capabilities versus R-ISS, R2-ISS, and Mayo-2022-score. RESULTS: A nomogram for estimating OS probabilities was built on the basis of a Cox regression model. It allows one to translate the individual risk profile of a patient into 3-/5-year OS probabilities by attributing points to each prognostic factor and summing up all points. The nomogram was externally validated regarding discrimination and calibration. There was no obvious bias or overfitting of the prognostic index on the validation cohort. Resampling-based and external evaluation showed good calibration. The c-index of the model was similar on the training (0.76) and validation cohort (0.75) and significantly higher than for the R-ISS (P < .001) or R2-ISS (P < .01). CONCLUSION: In summary, we developed and validated individual quantitative nomogram-based OS prediction. Continuous risk assessment integrating molecular prognostic factors is superior to R-ISS, R2-ISS, or Mayo-2022-score alone.

RESUMO

Improved long-term survival rates after allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (alloHCT) make family planning for young adult cancer survivors an important topic. However, treatment-related infertility risk poses challenges. To assess pregnancy and birth rates in a contemporary cohort, we conducted a national multicenter study using data from the German Transplant Registry, focusing on adult women aged 18-40 who underwent alloHCT between 2003 and 2018. Out of 2,654 transplanted women, 50 women experienced 74 pregnancies, occurring at a median of 4.7 years post-transplant. Fifty-seven of these resulted in live births (77%). The annual first birth rate among HCT recipients was 0.45% (95%CI: 0.31 - 0.59%), which is more than six times lower than in the general population. The probability of a live birth 10 years after HCT was 3.4 % (95%CI: 2.3- 4.5%). Factors associated with an increased likelihood of pregnancy were younger age at alloHCT, non-malignant transplant indications, no total-body-irradiation (TBI) or a cumulative dose of <8 Gray, and non-myeloablative/reduced-intensity conditioning. 72% of pregnancies occurred spontaneously, with assisted reproductive technologies (ART) used in the remaining cases. Preterm delivery and low birth weight were more common than in the general population. This study represents the largest dataset reporting pregnancies in a cohort of adult female alloHCT recipients. Our findings underscore a meaningful chance of pregnancy in alloHCT recipients. ART techniques are important and funding should be made available. However, the potential for spontaneous pregnancies should not be underestimated, and patients should be informed of the possibility of unexpected pregnancy despite reduced fertility. Further research is warranted to understand the impact of conditioning decisions on fertility preservation.

RESUMO

The use of IPSS-M provides a wealth of molecular information in newly diagnosed myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) patients. Besides the prognostic implications, molecular markers will also help to choose therapeutic options and may also be informative to determine the depth of response. Duployez and Preudhomme provide a comprehensive overview of this area of research, which is particularly complex in MDS. Commentary on: Duployez et al.

RESUMO

Prospective randomized trials have reported a benefit for anti-thymocyte globulin (ATG)-based graft-versus-host disease (GvHD) prophylaxis in the setting of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (Allo-HSCT) with unrelated donors (UD). However, the optimal GvHD prophylaxis strategy has been recently challenged by the increasing use of post-transplant cyclophosphamide (PTCY). We report from the EBMT registry the outcomes of 960 patients with myelodysplastic neoplasms (MDS) undergoing allo-HSCT from UD with PTCY or ATG as GvHD prophylaxis. Primary outcomes were overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS). Disease characteristics were similar in both groups. Day 28 neutrophil engraftment was significantly better with ATG (93% vs 85%, p<0.001). With a median follow-up of 4.4 years (95% confidence interval [CI] 4.2 - 4.8), 5-year OS was 58% (95% CI 50-65) with PTCY and 49% (95% CI 46-53%) in the ATG group, p=0.07. 5-year PFS was higher for PTCY with 53% (95% CI 45-60) vs 44% (95% CI 40-48) for ATG, p=0.043. Grade II-IV aGvHD incidence was lower using PTCY (23% [95% CI 17-29%] vs 30% [95% CI 27-33%]), p=0.044 while there was no difference in incidence of cGvHD at 5 years. Multivariable analyses confirmed better OS and PFS with PTCY, with a HR for ATG of 1.32 (1 - 1.74), p=0.05, and a better PFS for PTCY with a HR for ATG of 1.33 (1.03 - 1.73), p=0.03. This study suggests that GvHD prophylaxis using PTCY instead of ATG in this setting remains a valid option. Further prospective randomized studies would be essential to confirm these results.

RESUMO

Based on the lack of differences in progression-free and overall survival after a median follow-up of 93 months in our HOVON-65/GMMG-HD4 trial (German part; n = 395) randomizing VAD induction (vincristin/adriamycin/dexamthasone)/tandem-transplantation/thalidomide-maintenance vs. PAD induction (bortezomib/adriamycin/dexamethasone)/tandem transplantation/bortezomib maintenance, we discern how chromosomal aberrations determine long-term prognosis by different patterns of association with proliferation and treatment-dependent response, whether responses achieved by different regimens are equal regarding prognosis, and whether subpopulations of patients could be defined as treatable without upfront "novel agents" in cases of limited resources, e.g., in low- or middle-income countries. Serum parameters and risk factors were assessed in 395 patients. CD138-purified plasma cells were subjected to fluorescence in situ hybridization (n = 354) and gene expression profiling (n = 204). We found chromosomal aberrations to be associated in four patterns with survival, proliferation, and response: deletion (del) del17p13, del8p21, del13q14, (gain) 1q21+, and translocation t(4;14) (all adverse) associate with higher proliferation. Of these, del17p is associated with an adverse response (pattern 1), and 1q21+, t(4;14), and del13q14 with a treatment-dependent better response (pattern 2). Hyperdiploidy associates with lower proliferation without impacting response or survival (pattern 3). Translocation t(11;14) has no association with survival but a treatment-dependent adverse response (pattern 4). Significantly fewer patients reach a near-complete response or better with "conventional" (VAD) vs. bortezomib-based treatment after induction or high-dose melphalan. These patients, however, show significantly better median progression-free and overall survival. Molecularly, patients responding to the two regimens differ in gene expression, indicating distinct biological properties of the responding myeloma cells. Patients with normal renal function (89.4%), low cytogenetic risk (72.5%), or low proliferation rate (37.9%) neither benefit in progression-free nor overall survival from bortezomib-based upfront treatment. We conclude that response level, the treatment by which it is achieved, and molecular background determine long-term prognosis. Chromosomal aberrations are associated in four patterns with proliferation and treatment-dependent responses. Associations with faster and deeper responses can be deceptive in the case of prognostically adverse aberrations 1q21+ and t(4;14). Far from advocating a return to "outdated" treatments, if resources do not permit state-of-the-art-treatment, normal renal function and/or molecular profiling identifies patient subpopulations doing well without upfront "novel agents".

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Multiple myeloma (MM) is a haematological malignancy that is characterised by proliferation of malignant plasma cells in the bone marrow. For adults ineligible to receive high-dose chemotherapy and autologous stem cell transplant, the recommended treatment combinations in first-line therapy generally consist of combinations of alkylating agents, immunomodulatory drugs, and proteasome inhibitors. Daratumumab is a CD38-targeting, human IgG1k monoclonal antibody recently developed and approved for the treatment of people diagnosed with MM. Multiple myeloma cells uniformly over-express CD-38, a 46-kDa type II transmembrane glycoprotein, making myeloma cells a specific target for daratumumab. OBJECTIVES: To determine the benefits and harms of daratumumab in addition to antineoplastic therapy compared to antineoplastic therapy only for adults with newly diagnosed MM who are ineligible for transplant. SEARCH METHODS: We searched the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL), MEDLINE, Embase, EU Clinical Trials Register, ClinicalTrials.gov, WHO ICTRP, and conference proceedings from 2010 to September 2023. SELECTION CRITERIA: We included randomised controlled trials that compared treatment with daratumumab added to antineoplastic therapy versus the same antineoplastic therapy alone in adult participants with a confirmed diagnosis of MM. We excluded quasi-randomised trials and trials with less than 80% adult participants, unless there were subgroup analyses of adults with MM. DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS: Two review authors independently screened the results of the search strategies for eligibility. We documented the process of study selection in a flowchart as recommended by the PRISMA statement. We evaluated the risk of bias in included studies with RoB 1 and assessed the certainty of the evidence using GRADE. We followed standard Cochrane methodological procedures. MAIN RESULTS: We included four open-label, two-armed randomised controlled trials (34 publications) involving a total of 1783 participants. The ALCYONE, MAIA, and OCTANS trials were multicentre trials conducted worldwide in middle- and high-income countries. The AMaRC 03-16 trial was conducted in one high-income country, Australia. The mean age of participants was 69 to 74 years, and the proportion of female participants was between 40% and 54%. All trials evaluated antineoplastic therapies with or without daratumumab. In the ALCYONE and OCTANS trials, daratumumab was combined with bortezomib and melphalan-prednisone. In the AMaRC 03-16 study, it was combined with bortezomib, cyclophosphamide, and dexamethasone, and in the MAIA study, it was combined with lenalidomide and dexamethasone. None of the included studies was blinded (high risk of performance and detection bias). One study was published as abstract only, therefore the risk of bias for most criteria was unclear. The other three studies were published as full texts. Apart from blinding, the risk of bias was low for these studies. Overall survival Treatment with daratumumab probably increases overall survival when compared to the same treatment without daratumumab (hazard ratio (HR) 0.64, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.53 to 0.76, 2 studies, 1443 participants, moderate-certainty evidence). After a follow-up period of 36 months, 695 per 1000 participants survived in the control group, whereas 792 per 1000 participants survived in the daratumumab group (95% CI 758 to 825). Progression-free survival Treatment with daratumumab probably increases progression-free survival when compared to treatment without daratumumab (HR 0.48, 95% CI 0.39 to 0.58, 3 studies, 1663 participants, moderate-certainty evidence). After a follow-up period of 24 months, progression-free survival was reached in 494 per 1000 participants in the control group versus 713 per 1000 participants in the daratumumab group (95% CI 664 to 760). Quality of life Treatment with daratumumab may result in a very small increase in quality of life after 12 months, evaluated on the EORTC QLQ-C30 global health status scale (GHS), when compared to treatment without daratumumab (mean difference 2.19, 95% CI -0.13 to 4.51, 3 studies, 1096 participants, low-certainty evidence). The scale is from 0 to 100, with a higher value indicating a better quality of life. On-study mortality Treatment with daratumumab probably decreases on-study mortality when compared to treatment without daratumumab (risk ratio (RR) 0.72, 95% CI 0.62 to 0.83, 3 studies, 1644 participants, moderate-certainty evidence). After the longest follow-up available (12 to 72 months), 366 per 1000 participants in the control group and 264 per 1000 participants in the daratumumab group died (95% CI 227 to 304). Serious adverse events Treatment with daratumumab probably increases serious adverse events when compared to treatment without daratumumab (RR 1.18, 95% CI 1.02 to 1.37, 3 studies, 1644 participants, moderate-certainty evidence). After the longest follow-up available (12 to 72 months), 505 per 1000 participants in the control group versus 596 per 1000 participants in the daratumumab group experienced serious adverse events (95% CI 515 to 692). Adverse events (Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) grade ≥ 3) Treatment with daratumumab probably results in little to no difference in adverse events (CTCAE grade ≥ 3) when compared to treatment without daratumumab (RR 1.01, 95% CI 0.99 to 1.02, 3 studies, 1644 participants, moderate-certainty evidence). After the longest follow-up available (12 to 72 months), 953 per 1000 participants in the control group versus 963 per 1000 participants in the daratumumab group experienced adverse events (CTCAE grade ≥ 3) (95% CI 943 to 972). Treatment with daratumumab probably increases the risk of infections (CTCAE grade ≥ 3) when compared to treatment without daratumumab (RR 1.52, 95% CI 1.30 to 1.78, 3 studies, 1644 participants, moderate-certainty evidence). After the longest follow-up available (12 to 72 months), 224 per 1000 participants in the control group versus 340 per 1000 participants in the daratumumab group experienced infections (CTCAE grade ≥ 3) (95% CI 291 to 399). AUTHORS' CONCLUSIONS: Overall analysis of four studies showed a potential benefit for daratumumab in terms of overall survival and progression-free survival and a slight potential benefit in quality of life. Participants treated with daratumumab probably experience increased serious adverse events. There were likely no differences between groups in adverse events (CTCAE grade ≥ 3); however, there are probably more infections (CTCAE grade ≥ 3) in participants treated with daratumumab. We identified six ongoing studies which might strengthen the certainty of evidence in a future update of this review.

RESUMO

ABSTRACT: Studies comparing the efficacy of posttransplant cyclophosphamide (PTCy) to conventional calcineurin inhibitor (CNI)-based graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) prophylaxis regimens in patients with Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) are scarce. This study aimed to compare the outcomes of patients with HL undergoing hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) from HLA-matched donors who received GVHD prophylaxis with either PTCy- or conventional CNI-based regimens, using data reported in the European Society for Blood and Marrow Transplantation database between January 2015 and December 2022. Among the cohort, 270 recipients received conventional CNI-based prophylaxis and 176 received PTCy prophylaxis. Notably, PTCy prophylaxis was associated with delayed hematopoietic recovery but also with a lower risk of chronic (25% vs 43%; P < .001) and extensive chronic GVHD (13% vs 28%; P = .003) compared with the CNI-based cohort. The 2-year cumulative incidence of nonrelapse mortality and relapse was 11% vs 17% (P = .12) and 17% vs 30% (P = .007) for PTCy- and CNI-based, respectively. Moreover, the 2-year overall survival (OS), progression-free survival (PFS), and GVHD-free, relapse-free survival (GRFS) were all significantly better in the PTCy group compared with the CNI-based group: 85% vs 72% (P = .005), 72% vs 53% (P < .001), and 59% vs 31% (P < .001), respectively. In multivariable analysis, PTCy was associated with a lower risk of chronic and extensive chronic GVHD, reduced relapse, and better OS, PFS, and GRFS than the CNI-based platform. Our findings suggest that PTCy as GVHD prophylaxis offers more favorable outcomes than conventional CNI-based prophylaxis in adult patients with HL undergoing HSCT from HLA-matched donors.

RESUMO

ABSTRACT: In patients with myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), higher revised International Prognostic Scoring System (IPSS-R) scores at transplant are associated with worse transplant outcome and, thus, lowering IPSS-R scores by therapeutic intervention before transplantation may seem beneficial. However, there is no evidence, to date, to support this approach. In a retrospective analysis, a total of 1482 patients with MDS with sufficient data to calculate IPSS-R score at diagnosis and at time of transplantation were selected from the European Society for Blood and Marrow Transplantation transplant registry and analyzed for transplant outcome in a multivariable Cox model including IPSS-R score at diagnosis, treatment intervention, change in IPSS-R score before transplant, and several patient and transplant variables. Transplant outcome was unaffected by IPSS-R score change in untreated patients and moderately superior in patients treated with chemotherapy with improved IPSS-R score at transplant. Improved IPSS-R score after hypomethylating agents (HMAs) or other therapies showed no beneficial effect. However, when IPSS-R score progressed after chemotherapy, HMAs, or other therapies, transplant outcome was worse than without any prior treatment. Similar results were found when reduction or increase in bone marrow (BM) blasts between diagnosis and transplantation was considered. The results show a limited benefit of IPSS-R score downstaging or reduction of BM blasts after chemotherapy and no benefit for HMAs or other treatments and thus question the role of prior therapy in patients with MDS scheduled for transplantation. The model-based survival estimates should help inform decision-making for both doctors and patients.

RESUMO

Short-term outcome of myeloablative (MAC) and reduced intensity (RIC) conditioning in the prospective randomized international EBMT RICMAC study in patients with myelodyplastic syndrome (MDS) was comparable but longer follow up is lacking. Patients with MDS aged 18-65 years were randomized to receive MAC (N = 64) with busulfan/cyclophosphamide or RIC (n = 65) with busulfan/fludarabine followed by stem cell transplantation -(HCT) from HLA matched or mismatched donor. After a median follow-up of 6.2 (0.4-12.5) years, 10-year OS and RFS were 54.0% and 43.9% for RIC and 44.4% and 44.2% for MAC (p = 0.15 and p = 0.78), respectively. Since the first report, 6 patients died on NRM, 4 after RIC, and 2 after MAC. Similarly, 8 patients relapsed (4 in each arm), increasing the number of relapsed patients to 28. The second HCT was performed in 18 pts, 8 in the MAC, and 10 in the RIC arm. In a multivariate analysis, ECOG status and chemotherapy prior to HCT were independent risk factors for OS and RFS, ECOG and low cytogenetic risk for NRM and chemotherapy prior to HCT for RI. Patients with low cytogenetic risk had better OS [p = 0.002], RFS [p = 0.02], and NRM (p = 0.015) after RIC as compared to MAC.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Conditioning regimens and the choice of immunosuppression have substantial impact on immune reconstitution after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (aHSCT). The pivotal mechanism to maintain remission is the induction of the graft-versus-tumor effect. Relapse as well as graft versus host disease remain common. Classic immunosuppressive strategies implementing calcineurin inhibitors (CNI) have significant toxicities, hamper the immune recovery, and reduce the anti-cancer immune response. METHODS: We designed a phase II clinical trial for patients with relapsed and refractory lymphoid malignancies undergoing aHSCT using a CNI-free approach consisting of post-transplant cyclophosphamide (PTCy) and short-term Everolimus after reduced-intensity conditioning and matched peripheral blood stem cell transplantation. The results of the 19 planned patients are presented. Primary endpoint is the cumulative incidence and severity of acute GvHD. RESULTS: Overall incidence of acute GvHD was 53% with no grade III or IV. Cumulative incidence of NRM at 1, 2, and 4 years was 11%, 11%, and 16%, respectively, with a median follow-up of 43 months. Cumulative incidence of relapse was 32%, 32%, and 42% at 1, 2, and 4 years after transplant, respectively. Four out of six early relapses were multiple myeloma patients. Overall survival was 79%, 74%, and 62% at 1, 2, and 4 years. GvHD-relapse-free-survival was 47% after 3 years. CONCLUSIONS: Using PTCy and short-term Everolimus is safe with low rates of aGvHD and no severe aGvHD or cGvHD translating into a low rate of non-relapse mortality. Our results in this difficult to treat patient population are encouraging and warrant further studies.

RESUMO

ABSTRACT: Chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMML) is a heterogeneous disease presenting with either myeloproliferative or myelodysplastic features. Allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (allo-HCT) remains the only potentially curative option, but the inherent toxicity of this procedure makes the decision to proceed to allo-HCT challenging, particularly because patients with CMML are mostly older and comorbid. Therefore, the decision between a nonintensive treatment approach and allo-HCT represents a delicate balance, especially because prospective randomized studies are lacking and retrospective data in the literature are conflicting. International consensus on the selection of patients and the ideal timing of allo-HCT, specifically in CMML, could not be reached in international recommendations published 6 years ago. Since then, new, CMML-specific data have been published. The European Society for Blood and Marrow Transplantation (EBMT) Practice Harmonization and Guidelines (PH&G) Committee assembled a panel of experts in the field to provide the first best practice recommendations on the role of allo-HCT specifically in CMML. Recommendations were based on the results of an international survey, a comprehensive review of the literature, and expert opinions on the subject, after structured discussion and circulation of recommendations. Algorithms for patient selection, timing of allo-HCT during the course of the disease, pretransplant strategies, allo-HCT modality, as well as posttransplant management for patients with CMML were outlined. The keynote message is, that once a patient has been identified as a transplant candidate, upfront transplantation without prior disease-modifying treatment is preferred to maximize chances of reaching allo-HCT whenever possible, irrespective of bone marrow blast counts.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVES: The seroprevalence of antibodies against Cytomegalovirus (CMV) is an established poor prognostic factor for patients receiving an allogeneic stem cell transplantation. However, the impact of CMV serology on outcome after autologous stem cell transplantation remains unknown. METHODS: Here, we analyzed the CMV immunoglobulin (Ig) serology of 446 newly-diagnosed multiple myeloma (MM) patients of the GMMG-MM5 phase III trial with a median follow-up of 58 months. RESULTS: CMV IgG and IgM positivity was seen in 51% and 6% of the patients, respectively. In multivariate analysis CMV IgG and CMV IgM serology show an age-depending effect for PFS. We identified positive CMV IgG/positive CMV IgM serology as an age-depending beneficial factor on PFS. DISCUSSION: Younger patients with a positive CMV IgG/positive CMV IgM serology experienced a favorable effect on PFS, whereas a positive CMV IgG/positive CMV IgM serology at older age has a disadvantageous effect on PFS.

RESUMO

Patients with Richter's transformation of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) to diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL-RT) face a dismal prognosis. A 51-year-old female patient diagnosed with CLL with deletion (17p) in 2009. CLL treatment included chemoimmunotherapy and targeted substances. DLBCL-RT was diagnosed in November 2016. After receiving an allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, she relapsed in September 2019 and tisagenlecleucel was infused in December 2019. Cytokine release syndrome grade 2 was treated with two doses of tocilizumab and the patient was started on 140 mg ibrutinib in February 2020. Our patient remains in remission up to 4 years after CAR T-cell treatment.

RESUMO

The literature is filled with citations reporting an increased incidence of chronic dry eye disease, also known as keratoconjunctivitis sicca, in patients with systemic autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, Sjögren's Syndrome, systemic sclerosis and lupus. As the most environmentally exposed mucosal surface of the body, the conjunctiva constantly responds to environmental challenges which are typically self limited, but when persistent and unresolved may provoke pathogenic innate and adaptive immune reactions. Our understanding of the pathophysiological mechanisms by which systemic autoimmune diseases cause dry eye inducing ocular surface inflammation continues to evolve. Conjunctival immune tone responds to self or foreign danger signals (including desiccating stress) on the ocular surface with an initial non-specific innate inflammatory response. If unchecked, this can lead to activation of dendritic cells that present antigen and prime T and B cells resulting in an adaptive immune reaction. These reactions generally resolve, but dysfunctional, hyper-responsive immune cells found in systemic autoimmune diseases that are recruited to the ocular surface can amplify inflammatory stress responses in the ocular surface and glandular tissues and result in autoimmune reactions that disrupt tear stability and lead to chronic dry eye disease. We here propose that unique features of the ocular surface immune system and the impact of systemic immune dysregulation in autoimmune diseases, can predispose to development of dry eye disease, and exacerbate severity of existing dry eye.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: The aim of this trial was to investigate the addition of the anti-SLAMF7 monoclonal antibody elotuzumab to lenalidomide, bortezomib, and dexamethasone (RVd) in induction and consolidation therapy as well as to lenalidomide maintenance treatment in transplant-eligible patients with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma. METHODS: GMMG-HD6 was a phase 3, randomised trial conducted at 43 main trial sites and 26 associated trial sites throughout Germany. Adult patients (aged 18-70 years) with previously untreated, symptomatic multiple myeloma, and a WHO performance status of 0-3, with 3 being allowed only if caused by myeloma disease and not by comorbid conditions, were randomly assigned 1:1:1:1 to four treatment groups. Induction therapy consisted of four 21-day cycles of RVd (lenalidomide 25 mg orally on days 1-14; bortezomib 1·3 mg/m2 subcutaneously on days 1, 4, 8, and 11]; and dexamethasone 20 mg orally on days 1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 9, 11, 12, and 15 for cycles 1-2) or, RVd induction plus elotuzumab (10 mg/kg intravenously on days 1, 8, and 15 for cycles 1-2, and on days 1 and 11 for cycles 3-4; E-RVd). Autologous haematopoietic stem-cell transplantation was followed by two 21-day cycles of either RVd consolidation (lenalidomide 25 mg orally on days 1-14; bortezomib 1·3 mg/m2 subcutaneously on days 1, 8, and 15; and dexamethasone 20 mg orally on days 1, 2, 8, 9, 15, and 16) or elotuzumab plus RVd consolidation (with elotuzumab 10 mg/kg intravenously on days 1, 8, and 15) followed by maintenance with either lenalidomide (10 mg orally on days 1-28 for cycles 1-3; thereafter, up to 15 mg orally on days 1-28; RVd/R or E-RVd/R group) or lenalidomide plus elotuzumab (10 mg/kg intravenously on days 1 and 15 for cycles 1-6, and on day 1 for cycles 7-26; RVd/E-R or E-RVd/E-R group) for 2 years. The primary endpoint was progression-free survival analysed in a modified intention-to-treat (ITT) population. Safety was analysed in all patients who received at least one dose of trial medication. This trial is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT02495922, and is completed. FINDINGS: Between June 29, 2015, and on Sept 11, 2017, 564 patients were included in the trial. The modified ITT population comprised 559 (243 [43%] females and 316 [57%] males) patients and the safety population 555 patients. After a median follow-up of 49·8 months (IQR 43·7-55·5), there was no difference in progression-free survival between the four treatment groups (adjusted log-rank p value, p=0·86), and 3-year progression-free survival rates were 69% (95% CI 61-77), 69% (61-76), 66% (58-74), and 67% (59-75) for patients treated with RVd/R, RVd/E-R, E-RVd/R, and E-RVd/E-R, respectively. Infections (grade 3 or worse) were the most frequently observed adverse event in all treatment groups (28 [20%] of 137 for RVd/R; 32 [23%] of 138 for RVd/E-R; 35 [25%] of 138 for E-RVd/R; and 48 [34%] of 142 for E-RVd/E-R). Serious adverse events (grade 3 or worse) were observed in 68 (48%) of 142 participants in the E-RVd/E-R group, 53 (39%) of 137 in the RVd/R, 53 (38%) of 138 in the RVd/E-R, and 50 (36%) of 138 in the E-RVd/R (36%) group. There were nine treatment-related deaths during the study. Two deaths (one sepsis and one toxic colitis) in the RVd/R group were considered lenalidomide-related. One death in the RVd/E-R group due to meningoencephalitis was considered lenalidomide and elotuzumab-related. Four deaths (one pulmonary embolism, one septic shock, one atypical pneumonia, and one cardiovascular failure) in the E-RVd/R group and two deaths (one sepsis and one pneumonia and pulmonary fibrosis) in the E-RVd/E-R group were considered related to lenalidomide or elotuzumab, or both. INTERPRETATION: Addition of elotuzumab to RVd induction or consolidation and lenalidomide maintenance in patients with transplant-eligible newly diagnosed multiple myeloma did not provide clinical benefit. Elotuzumab-containing therapies might be reserved for patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma. FUNDING: Bristol Myers Squibb/Celgene and Chugai.

RESUMO

Novel therapies for multiple myeloma have substantially improved the prognosis, but before patients are able to benefit from treatment, a diagnosis must have been made. The Myeloma UK laboratory working group has developed a three-part tool box to help primary care physicians to suspect myeloma despite mostly vague symptoms, to do the right tests and to derive the proper conclusions from the results. Commentary on: Drayson et al. Laboratory practice is central to earlier myeloma diagnosis; utilising a primary care diagnostic tool and laboratory guidelines integrated into haematology services.
