RESUMEN
BACKGROUND: Lenalidomide (R), bortezomib (V), and dexamethasone (d) is a standard-of-care regimen in newly diagnosed multiple myeloma (NDMM); however, characteristics and outcomes for nontransplanted patients receiving frontline RVd are not well understood. PATIENTS: The Connectâ MM Registry is a large, US, multicenter, prospective observational cohort study of NDMM patients. METHODS: This analysis investigated characteristics and outcomes of patients who received RVd alone or followed by Rd or R (RVd ± Rd/R) who did not undergo frontline autologous stem cell transplantation. RESULTS: As of August 2021, 314 of 1979 nontransplanted patients received RVd ± Rd/R as initial therapy. Of these, 135 were aged ≤ 65 years and 179 were > 65 years. 108 patients had time to relapse (TTR) of ≤ 12 months and 182 had TTR > 12 months. Baseline characteristics were comparable regardless of TTR and age group except renal function, which was more commonly impaired in older patients. Among patients aged ≤ 65 and > 65 years, median duration of first-line treatment was 6.3 and 9.0 months, median time to next line for those who received second-line therapy was 15.5 and 15.2 months, median progression-free survival (PFS) was 19.3 and 23.0 months, and median overall survival was 60.0 and 59.1 months, respectively. High-risk disease (per IMWG criteria) and high serum calcium were associated with higher hazard of progression or death; the adjusted PFS hazard ratio with respect to age (≤ 65 vs. > 65 years) based on multivariable analysis was 1.18 (0.89-1.57; P = .25). CONCLUSION: These results indicate RVd is active across age groups and provide a better understanding of outcomes with RVd in NDMM.
RESUMEN
The treatment of Waldenström macroglobulinemia/lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma (WM/LPL) has evolved to include several new options. The NCCN Guidelines for WM/LPL provide a framework on which to base decisions regarding diagnosis, treatment, assessment of response to treatment, and follow-up of both newly diagnosed and previously treated WM/LPL.

PURPOSE: Radiation therapy (RT) is an important treatment modality for patients with multiple myeloma (MM). Although patients are living longer with MM, they are more likely to have comorbidities related to treatment, such as bone pain; however, RT can provide symptom relief. To date, the characterization of patients who have received RT in the real-world setting has been limited. METHODS AND MATERIALS: The Connect® MM Registry is a large, US multicenter, prospective observational cohort study of adult patients with newly diagnosed MM from mostly community sites. RT utilization and outcomes were analyzed quarterly throughout treatment. Factors associated with RT use were identified via multivariable analysis. RESULTS: A total of 3011 patients were enrolled in the Connect MM Registry with 903 patients (30%) having received RT at any time. There was a significant difference (P < .05) in overall RT use among patients with an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status of 0 to 1 versus ≥2, International Staging System disease stage I/II versus III, a history of plasmacytoma or a novel agent in their first regimen, and any number of bone lesions or severe osteoporosis/fracture. RT use was associated with having bone lesions or severe osteoporosis (vs not having bone lesions). Additionally, RT use was associated with ethnicity (Hispanic vs not) and Connect MM Registry cohort (cohort 1 [enrolled 2009-2011] vs 2 [enrolled 2012-2016]). In the 6 months before death, increased RT use was associated with increasing number of treatment lines (P < .0001) and high- versus standard-risk disease (per International Myeloma Working Group criteria; P = .0028). CONCLUSIONS: Real-world results from the Connect MM Registry show RT is frequently used and is associated with clinical factors, including performance status and disease stage. Earlier in MM diagnosis, RT may be used as an adjunct to palliate symptoms or delay systemic therapy. Toward the end of life, RT is more frequently used for palliation when treatment options are often limited.

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.

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.

Primary systemic light chain amyloidosis (SLCA) is characterized by production of light chains that get converted to amyloid fibrils with an affinity for visceral organs and causing organ dysfunction. The therapy for SLCA is directed to recovering the function of the affected organs by targeting the abnormal plasma cell clone and slowing deposition of amyloid fibrils. The NCCN Guidelines for SLCA provide recommendations for workup, diagnosis, and treatment of primary as well as previously treated SLCA.

PURPOSE: The MASTER trial combined daratumumab, carfilzomib, lenalidomide, and dexamethasone (Dara-KRd) in newly diagnosed multiple myeloma (NDMM), using minimal residual disease (MRD) by next-generation sequencing (NGS) to inform the use and duration of Dara-KRd post-autologous hematopoietic cell transplantation (AHCT) and treatment cessation in patients with two consecutive MRD-negative assessments. METHODS: This multicenter, single-arm, phase II trial enrolled patients with NDMM with planed enrichment for high-risk cytogenetic abnormalities (HRCAs). Patients received Dara-KRd induction, AHCT, and Dara-KRd consolidation, according to MRD status. MRD was evaluated by NGS at the end of induction, post-AHCT, and every four cycles (maximum of eight cycles) of consolidation. Primary end point was achievement of MRD negativity (< 10-5). Patients with two consecutive MRD-negative assessments entered treatment-free MRD surveillance. RESULTS: Among 123 participants, 43% had none, 37% had 1, and 20% had 2+ HRCA. Median age was 60 years (range, 36-79 years), and 96% had MRD trackable by NGS. Median follow-up was 25.1 months. Overall, 80% of patients reached MRD negativity (78%, 82%, and 79% for patients with 0, 1, and 2+ HRCA, respectively), 66% reached MRD < 10-6, and 71% reached two consecutive MRD-negative assessments during therapy, entering treatment-free surveillance. Two-year progression-free survival was 87% (91%, 97%, and 58% for patients with 0, 1, and 2+ HRCA, respectively). Cumulative incidence of MRD resurgence or progression 12 months after cessation of therapy was 4%, 0%, and 27% for patients with 0, 1, or 2+ HRCA, respectively. Most common serious adverse events were pneumonia (6%) and venous thromboembolism (3%). CONCLUSION: Dara-KRd, AHCT, and MRD response-adapted consolidation leads to high rate of MRD negativity in NDMM. For patients with 0 or 1 HRCA, this strategy creates the opportunity of MRD surveillance as an alternative to indefinite maintenance.

BACKGROUND: The t (11;14) (q13;32) translocation [t (11;14)] is present in â¼20% of patients with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma (NDMM), but studies examining its prognostic ability have yielded divergent results, and data are lacking on outcomes from first-line therapy. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Data from the Connect MM Registry, a large US, multicenter, prospective observational cohort study of patients with NDMM were used to examine the effect of t (11;14) status on first-line therapy outcomes in the Overall population (n = 1574) and race groups (African American [AA] vs. non-African American [NAA]). RESULTS: Baseline characteristics were generally similar between patients with (n = 378) and without (n = 1196) t (11;14). Prevalence of t (11;14) was similar by race (AA, 27%; NAA, 24%). In the overall population, regardless of first-line therapy, t (11;14) status did not affect progression-free survival (hazard ratio, 1.02; P = 0.7675) or overall survival (hazard ratio, 0.99; P = .9417). AA patients with t (11;14) had higher likelihood of death (Nominal Cox regression P = .0298) vs. patients without t (11;14). CONCLUSIONS: Acknowledging observational study and inferential limitations, this exploratory analysis of a predominantly community-based population suggests that t (11;14) is a neutral prognostic factor in the general MM population but may be a negative factor for overall survival in AA patients.

Minimal residual disease (MRD) assessment is incorporated in an increasing number of multiple myeloma (MM) clinical trials as a correlative analysis, an endpoint or even as a determinant of subsequent therapy. There is substantial heterogeneity across clinical trials in how MRD is assessed and reported, creating challenges for data interpretation and for the design of subsequent studies. We convened an international panel of MM investigators to harmonize how MRD should be assessed and reported in MM clinical trials. The panel provides consensus on which MM trials should include MRD, the recommended time points for MRD assessment, and expected analytical validation for MRD assays. We subsequently outlined parameters for reporting MRD results implementing the intention-to-treat principle. The panel provides guidance regarding the incorporation of newer peripheral blood-based and imaging-based approaches to detection of residual disease. Recommendations are summarized in 13 consensus statements that should be followed by sponsors, investigators, editors, and reviewers engaged in designing, performing, and interpreting MM trials.

Although new multiple myeloma (MM) therapies are effective in alleviating some disease-associated symptoms (e.g. bone pain, fatigue, functional decline), they can result in additional toxicities, further impacting health-related quality of life (HRQoL). Here, we compared HRQoL and safety of lenalidomide-bortezomib-dexamethasone [RVd (n = 445)], bortezomib-melphalan-prednisone [VMP (n = 77)] and Vd or VMP (n = 588) in patients with newly diagnosed MM (NDMM) from the Connect® MM Registry, a large, USA, multicentre, prospective observational cohort study. Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-Multiple Myeloma subscale, EuroQol-5D overall score and Bone Pain Inventory HRQoL scores were significantly improved with RVd versus Vd/VMP. Serious adverse event rates were similar in all groups. Treatment with RVd maintained HRQoL in this real-world, largely community-based population of patients with NDMM.

BACKGROUND: Studies have reported racial disparities in access to and use of multiple myeloma (MM) treatments between African American (AA) and White patients. Although AA patients demonstrate longer disease-specific survival, this has not uniformly translated into improved survival over time. The association between race and treatment patterns and survival outcomes was analyzed using data from the Connect MM Registry. METHODS: The Connect MM Registry is a large US, multicenter, prospective observational cohort study of patients with newly diagnosed MM. Patients who received first-line (1L) stem cell transplantation (SCT) or who did not receive SCT (non-SCT or non-stem cell transplantation [NSCT]) were grouped by raceEffects of race and transplantation status on the use of triplet treatment were estimated using logistic regression. RESULTS: Treatment patterns in 1L (types and duration of induction, posttransplantation maintenance) were similar between AA and White patients. SCT rates in 1L (32% vs 36%) and triplet treatment use (AA: 44% for NSCT patients and 72% for SCT patients; and White: 48% for NSCT patients and 72% for SCT patients) during first induction were similar. No significant effect of race or transplantation status on 1L triplet treatment use was observed. Race was not found to be associated with survival outcomes among patients who underwent NSCT; however, AA patients who received SCT had significantly longer overall survival compared with White patients who underwent SCT (not reached vs 88.2 months; hazard ratio, 0.56; 95% CI, 0.35-0.89 [P = .0141]). CONCLUSIONS: AA and White patients were found to have similar treatment patterns in the Connect MM Registry, suggesting that both groups had equal access to health care. In this real-world setting, AA patients received standard-of-care treatment, which might have contributed to better MM-specific survival compared with White patients.

The American Society for Transplantation and Cellular Therapy (ASTCT) published its first white paper on indications for autologous and allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) in 2015. It was identified at the time that periodic updates of indications would be required to stay abreast with state of the art and emerging indications and therapy. In recent years the field has not only seen an improvement in transplantation technology, thus widening the therapeutic scope of HCT, but additionally a whole new treatment strategy using modified immune effector cells, including chimeric antigen receptor T cells and engineered T-cell receptors, has emerged. The guidelines review committee of the ASTCT deemed it optimal to update the ASTCT recommendations for indications for HCT to include new data and to incorporate indications for immune effector cell therapy (IECT) where appropriate. The guidelines committee established a multiple stakeholder task force consisting of transplant experts, payer representatives, and a patient advocate to provide guidance on indications for HCT and IECT. This article presents the updated recommendations from the ASTCT on indications for HCT and IECT. Indications for HCT/IECT were categorized as (1) Standard of care, where indication is well defined and supported by evidence; (2) Standard of care, clinical evidence available, where large clinical trials and observational studies are not available but have been shown to be effective therapy; (3) Standard of care, rare indication, for rare diseases where demonstrated effectiveness exists but large clinical trials and observational studies are not feasible; (4) Developmental, for diseases where preclinical and/or early-phase clinical studies show HCT/IECT to be a promising treatment option; and (5) Not generally recommended, where available evidence does not support the routine use of HCT/IECT. The ASTCT will continue to periodically review these guidelines and update them as new evidence becomes available.

BACKGROUND: The Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database and National Cancer Database (NCDB) show improved overall survival (OS) in patients with multiple myeloma (MM) over the last 15 years. This analysis evaluated the validity of the largely community-based Connect MM Registry as a national reference for MM. METHODS: Baseline disease characteristics and survival in US newly diagnosed MM patients were examined using the Connect MM Registry as well as SEER and NCDB databases. Baseline characteristics predictive of longer survival in Connect MM were also identified. RESULTS: As of February 2017, 3011 patients were enrolled in the Connect MM Registry; 2912 were treated. Median age at time of MM diagnosis and age range were numerically similar from 2010 to 2015 across all 3 registries; SEER had a higher representation of nonwhite racial groups than that in the other 2 registries. OS rates suggest proportionate improvement with year of diagnosis among the 3 registries. A Cox proportional hazards model suggests that younger age (<65 years) is associated with longer survival (vs ≥75; HR, 0.39; 95% confidence interval, 0.34-0.46) in the Connect MM Registry. However, sex (HR, 0.91; P = .15) and race (black vs white; HR, 0.88; P = .21) were not associated with longer OS. CONCLUSIONS: Data from the Connect MM Registry appear to be largely representative of national trends, comprehensive, and reliable representations of the national MM population. Baseline characteristics were comparable, and survival similarly improved over time among the 3 registries. CLINICALTRIALS. GOV, IDENTIFIER: NCT01081028.

PURPOSE: To provide evidence-based recommendations on the treatment of multiple myeloma to practicing physicians and others. METHODS: ASCO and Cancer Care Ontario convened an Expert Panel of medical oncology, surgery, radiation oncology, and advocacy experts to conduct a literature search, which included systematic reviews, meta-analyses, randomized controlled trials, and some phase II studies published from 2005 through 2018. Outcomes of interest included survival, progression-free survival, response rate, and quality of life. Expert Panel members used available evidence and informal consensus to develop evidence-based guideline recommendations. RESULTS: The literature search identified 124 relevant studies to inform the evidence base for this guideline. RECOMMENDATIONS: Evidence-based recommendations were developed for patients with multiple myeloma who are transplantation eligible and those who are ineligible and for patients with relapsed or refractory disease.
