RESUMEN
The anti-CD38 antibody daratumumab (Dara) has been reported to improve the prognosis of multiple myeloma (MM) patients, but its use before autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) remains controversial. To clarify the prognostic impact of Dara before ASCT on MM, we performed a retrospective observational analysis. We analyzed 2626 patients who underwent ASCT between 2017 and 2020. In the comparison between patients not administered Dara (Dara- group) and those administered Dara (Dara+ group), the 1-year progression-free survival (PFS) rates were 87.4% and 77.3% and the 1-year overall survival (OS) rates were 96.7% and 90.0%, respectively. In multivariate analysis, age <65 years (p = 0.015), low international staging system (ISS) stage (p < 0.001), absence of unfavorable cytogenic abnormalities (p < 0.001), no Dara use before ASCT (p = 0.037), and good treatment response before ASCT (p < 0.001) were independently associated with superior PFS. In matched pair analysis, the PFS/OS of the Dara- group were also significantly superior. For MM patients who achieved complete or very good partial response (CR/VGPR) by Dara addition before ASCT, both PFS and OS significantly improved. However, in patients who did not achieve CR/VGPR before ASCT, the PFS/OS of the Dara+ group were significantly inferior to those of the Dara- group.

BACKGROUND: Isatuximab, an anti-CD38 antibody, has been widely used in treatments for patients with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma (MM). Despite its high efficacy, not all patients achieve a lasting therapeutic response with isatuximab. OBJECTIVE: We tried to identify biomarkers to predict the effectiveness of isatuximab by focusing on the host's immune status before treatment. METHODS: We retrospectively analyzed the cases of 134 relapsed/refractory MM patients in the Kansai Myeloma Forum database who had received only a first isatuximab treatment. RESULTS: Among the 134 patients, an isatuximab, pomalidomide and dexamethasone (Isa-PD) regimen, isatuximab, carfilzomib and dexamethasone (Isa-KD) regimen and isatuximab and/or dexamethasone (Isa-D) regimen were used in 112, 15 and 7 patients, respectively. The median age at treatment, number of prior treatment regimens, and progression-free survival (PFS) were 71, 6, and 6.54 months, respectively. Multivariate analysis showed that the PFS under the Isa-PD regimen was longer in patients with higher lymphocyte/monocyte ratio (LMR ≥ 4), fewer prior treatment regimens (< 6), and no use of prior daratumumab treatment. The OS under the Isa-PD regimen was longer in patients with higher white blood cell counts (WBC counts ≥ 3000/µL) and higher LMR. The PFS under the Isa-D regimen was longer in patients with fewer prior treatment regimens in univariate analysis, but no parameters were correlated with PFS/OS under the Isa-KD regimen. CONCLUSION: We found that the patients with higher LMR (≥ 4) could obtain longer PFS and OS under the Isa-PD regimen. Other cohort studies of isatuximab treatment might be necessary to substantiate our results.

Chronic myelomonocytic leukaemia (CMML) is a haematological malignancy with a poor prognosis. Allogeneic haematopoietic stem cell transplantation remains the only curative approach. Without human leucocyte antigen-matched related sibling donors, the optimal alternative donor has yet to be established. Although unrelated bone marrow transplantation (UBMT) has been extensively studied, cord blood transplantation (CBT) for CMML remains largely unexplored. This nationwide retrospective study compared the outcomes of UBMT and single-unit umbilical CBT in patients with CMML. This study included 118 patients who underwent their first allo-HSCT during 2013-2021. Of these, 50 received BMT (UBMT group), while 68 underwent CBT (CBT group). The primary endpoint was the 3-year overall survival (OS). There were comparable 3-year OS rates between the UBMT (51.0%, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 34.1-65.5%) and CBT (46.2%, 95% CI: 33.2-58.1%; P = 0.60) groups. In the inverse probability of treatment weighting analysis, CBT did not show significantly improved outcomes compared with UBMT regarding the 3-year OS rate (hazard ratio 0.97 [95% CI: 0.57-1.66], P = 0.91). Thus, CBT may serve as an alternative to UBMT for patients with CMML. Further research is necessary to optimise transplantation strategies and enhance outcomes in patients with CMML undergoing CBT.
