Comparative Effectiveness and Safety of PI-Rd Triplets in Relapsed/Refractory Multiple Myeloma: INSIGHT-MM Data Analysis.

OBJECTIVES

To assess the effectiveness/safety of three proteasome inhibitors (PIs), plus lenalidomide-dexamethasone (Rd) triplet regimens, for the treatment of relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM) in a real-world setting, using data from the observational INSIGHT-MM study (NCT02761187).

METHODS

Adults with RRMM who received ixazomib, carfilzomib, or bortezomib plus Rd (IRd, KRd, or VRd, respectively) in the second or later line of therapy (LoT) were included. Patient characteristics, response to therapy (Kaplan-Meier analysis), and safety were reported descriptively. Multivariable Cox proportional hazards models were used to assess comparative effectiveness between regimens, whilst adjusting for cohort imbalances.

RESULTS

Overall, 356 LoTs (IRd n = 181; KRd n = 96; VRd n = 79) from 348 patients were included. There was heterogeneity in patient characteristics between cohorts. Median real-world progression-free survival (rwPFS) for IRd, KRd, and VRd was 14.5, 13.2, and 9.1 months, respectively. After adjustment for baseline covariates, no significant differences in rwPFS were observed between regimens. All three regimens demonstrated a manageable safety profile.

CONCLUSIONS

IRd, KRd, and VRd demonstrated comparable effectiveness and safety for the treatment of RRMM in a real-world setting, highlighting the need for a holistic evaluation of individual patients' needs and circumstances when selecting an appropriate PI.
