[Venetoclax-based salvage in multiple myeloma with (11;14) translocation after suboptimal response to first-line therapy].

INTRODUCTION: Multiple myeloma is one of the most common hematologic malignancies, with approximately 400 patients diagnosed in Hungary annually. Novel therapies emerging in the last decade have made a great impact on most patients' survival, however, those responding poorly to standard first-line therapy and failing to proceed to stem cell transplantation face a dire prognosis. Venetoclax, a selective Bcl-2 inhibitor has been shown very effective in the treatment of relapsed/refractory t(11;14) patients, but there are only a few studies about its safety and efficacy when used as salvage in th…

Mobilization of hematopoietic stem cells with lenograstim in multiple myeloma patients: Prospective multicenter observational study (KMM122).

BACKGROUND: Current guidelines recommend using filgrastim or tbo-filgrastim to mobilize hematopoietic progenitor cells in an autologous setting. However, previous studies have suggested other forms of granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) are equally efficacious, possibly with fewer leukaphereses required. Thus, we prospectively studied the efficacy of lenograstim, a glycosylated recombinant form of G-CSF, in multiple myeloma (MM) patients. METHODS: From November 2011 to January 2020, 98 MM patients undergoing autologous stem cell transplant (ASCT) from five academic centers in Korea …

Measuring Frailty Using Patient-Reported Outcomes (PRO) Data: A Feasibility Study in Patients with Multiple Myeloma.

PURPOSE: The objective of this retrospective study was to determine the feasibility of measuring frailty using patient responses to relevant EORTC QLQ-C30 items as proxy criteria for the Fried Frailty Phenotype, in a cohort of patients with Relapsed/Refractory Multiple Myeloma (RRMM). METHODS: Data were pooled from nine Phase III randomized clinical trials submitted to the FDA for regulatory review between 2010 and 2021, for the treatment of RRMM. Baseline EORTC QLQ-C30 responses were used to derive a patient-reported frailty phenotype (PRFP), based on the Fried definition of frailty. PRFP wa…

Teclistamab versus real-world physician's choice of therapy in triple-class exposed relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma.

Aim: We compared the effectiveness of teclistamab versus real-world physician's choice of therapy (RWPC) in triple-class exposed relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma. Materials & methods: MajesTEC-1 eligibility criteria were applied to the RWPC cohort. Baseline covariate imbalances were adjusted using inverse probability of treatment weighting. Overall survival, progression-free survival and time to next treatment were compared.

Recombinant human p53 adenovirus injection combined with Bortezomib inhibits proliferation and promotes apoptosis in multiple myeloma.

BACKGROUND: Multiple myeloma (MM) is a B-cell malignancy characterized by abnormal proliferation of clonal plasma cells in the bone marrow, the incidence of which has further increased in recent years. In multiple myeloma, wild-type functional p53 is often inactivated or dysregulated. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the role of p53 knockdown or overexpression in multiple myeloma and the therapeutic effect of recombinant adenovirus-p53 (rAd-p53) in combination with Bortezomib. METHODS: SiRNA p53 and rAd-p53 were used to knock down and overexpress p53. RT-qPCR was used to detect gene…

Lenalidomide-Based Maintenance after Autologous Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation for Patients with High-Risk Multiple Myeloma.

Maintenance therapy with single-agent lenalidomide (Len) after autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (autoHCT) for multiple myeloma (MM) is associated with improved progression-free survival (PFS). However, MM patients with high-risk chromosomal abnormalities (HRMMs) may need a more intense regimen. We hypothesized that adding another antimyeloma drug to Len maintenance would lead to improved outcomes. We conducted this retrospective single-center chart review analysis of adult HRMM patients who underwent autoHCT between 2008 and 2018, followed by Len-based maintenance therapy. Hi…

Adaptation of a multiple myeloma minimal residual disease multicolor flow cytometry assay for real-world practice.

BACKGROUND: Achieving minimal residual disease (MRD) negativity following treatment for multiple myeloma (MM) is associated with improved progression free and overall survival. In the UK, MRD assessments in MM are not incorporated into routine clinical use outside trials. Widely used in other haematological malignancies, there is a role for widening the availability of myeloma MRD assays to laboratories outside larger treating centers. METHODS: We set up and assessed concordance of a multicolor flow cytometry (MCF) assay for MM MRD in collaboration with a reference center including validity f…

Comparison of [68Ga]-FAPI PET/CT and [18F]-FDG PET/CT in Multiple Myeloma: Clinical Experience.

OBJECTIVE: In this study, we aimed to compare [68Ga]FAPI PET/CT and [18F]FDG PET/CT imaging to detect lesions in multiple myeloma. METHODS: A total of 14 patients with multiple myeloma who underwent [68Ga]FAPI PET/CT and [18F]FDG PET/CT imaging were included in this retrospective study. SUVmax values of [68Ga]FAPI and [18F]FDG were compared according to lesion locations. Also, lesion localization ability of both imaging methods was compared on the patient basis. RESULTS: In 4 of 14 patients, [68Ga]FAPI PET/CT and [18F]FDG PET/CT have not detected any bone lesions. In 8 of the remaining 10 pa…

Clinical Utility of Next-Generation Flow-Based Minimal Residual Disease Assessment in Patients with Multiple Myeloma.

BACKGROUND: Minimal residual disease (MRD) is an important prognostic factor for evaluating a deeper treatment response in patients with multiple myeloma (MM). We evaluated the clinical utility of next-generation flow (NGF)-based MRD assessment in a heterogeneous MM patient population. METHODS: Patients with suspected morphological remission after or during MM treatment were prospectively enrolled. In total, 108 bone marrow samples from 90 patients were analyzed using NGF-based MRD assessment according to the EuroFlow protocol, and progression-free survival (PFS) was evaluated according to th…

Monoclonal proteinuria predicts progression risk in asymptomatic multiple myeloma with a free light chain ratio ≥100.

A baseline involved to uninvolved free light chain ratio (FLCr) ≥100 with involved FLC ≥10 mg/dL is a multiple myeloma (MM)-defining event (MDE). However, multimeric light chain aggregates may contribute to increased FLC levels and impair renal light chain clearance. Therefore, we conducted a retrospective study to assess the association between urine monoclonal protein (uMCP) excretion and the risk of progression. We included 822 asymptomatic MM patients without MDE besides elevated FLCr (n=120 with FLCr ≥100, n=702 with FLC <100). Patients with a FLC ≥100 were grouped based on 24-hour uMCP e…

Subcorneal pustular dermatosis-type IgA pemphigus associated with multiple myeloma: A case report and literature review.

Immunoglobulin A (IgA) pemphigus, also known as intercellular IgA dermatosis, is a rare autoimmune bullous disease presenting with IgA anti-keratinocyte cell surface autoantibodies. Concomitant lymphoproliferative disorders have been reported in IgA pemphigus, including IgA monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance and IgA type multiple myeloma (MM). A 35-year-old Japanese woman with a 3-year history of pruritic papulovesicles on her lower legs and trunk was referred to our department. Histopathological examination revealed acantholytic blisters, and results of both direct and indirec…

T cell redirecting bispecific antibodies for multiple myeloma: emerging therapeutic strategies in a changing treatment landscape.

In recent years, the treatment landscape of multiple myeloma has continued to evolve with the introduction of novel immunotherapies. This progress has translated to improved overall survival for patients, but an unmet need remains in the heavily pretreated and high-risk subsets of patients. Emerging immunotherapies in the form of CAR-T cell therapies have been approved for multiple myeloma. However, CAR-T cell therapy has logistical limitations and there is a need for immunotherapies that are readily available, safe, and effective in RRMM. Currently, pending approval, there are many "off the s…

Nutrition support use and clinical outcomes in patients with multiple myeloma undergoing autologous stem cell transplant.

PurposeMalnutrition is associated with worse outcomes post-haematopoietic stem cell transplantation, with nutrition support recommended for people who are malnourished or have prolonged inadequate energy intake. We investigated associations between nutritional status, nutrition support type and clinical outcomes in adults with multiple myeloma post stem cell transplantation.MethodsMedical records (2015-2020) were reviewed to retrieve demographics, anthropometry, dietary data, nutrition support type (enteral/oral versus parenteral), and clinical outcomes (engraftment time, infection, length of …

Trifluoperazine Synergistically Potentiates Bortezomib-Induced Anti-Cancer Effect in Multiple Myeloma via Inhibiting P38 MAPK/NUPR1.

Multiple myeloma (MM) is a common hematological malignancy. Bortezomib (BTZ) is a traditional medicine for MM treatment, but there are limitations for current treatment methods. Trifluoperazine (TFP) is a clinical drug for acute and chronic psychosis therapy. Lately, researchers have found that TFP can suppress tumor growth in many cancers. We attempted to study the effects of BTZ and TFP on MM in vivo and in vitro. We concentrated on the individual and combined impact of BTZ and TFP on the proliferation and apoptosis of MM cells via Cell Counting kit-8 assay, EdU assay, western blot, and flow…

[AL amyloidosis presenting with fluminant multiorgan failure accompanied by rapid progression from MGUS to multiple myeloma].

Monoclonal gammopathy of undermined significance (MGUS) is usually asymptomatic, and untreated follow-up is the standard treatment. However, MGUS progresses to multiple myeloma or related malignancy at a frequency of 1.5% per year. It is sometimes difficult to diagnose the progression of the disease via usual examinations. We herein report a case wherein rapid renal dysfunction led to a diagnosis of disease progression to multiple myeloma in a patient with MGUS that was asymptomatic for a long time. A 66-year-old woman developed rapid renal dysfunction requiring continuous hemodiafiltration 8 …

Sensitive intranuclear flow cytometric quantification of IRF4 protein in multiple myeloma and normal human hematopoietic cells.

Interferon regulatory factor 4 (IRF4) is a transcription factor that regulates normal and malignant immune cell development and is implicated in multiple myeloma pathogenesis. This protocol describes the use of combined cell surface and intranuclear staining with fluorescent antibodies to measure IRF4 protein expression within myeloma and normal immune cells. IRF4 protein quantification may provide a valuable prognostic tool to predict disease severity and sensitivity to IRF4-targeted therapies. This flow-cytometry-based procedure could also be rapidly translated into a clinically compatible a…

Bone marrow tracer uptake pattern of PET-CT in multiple myeloma: image interpretation and prognostic value.

PURPOSE: To evaluate the prognostic value of bone marrow (BM) imaging pattern and other imaging findings assessed by 18F-FDG PET-CT in multiple myeloma(MM) and to find out the image interpretation cut-off to define different BM tracer uptake pattern. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We retrospectively studied PET-CT examinations and clinical data of 100 healthy individuals and 172 newly diagnosed MM patients. A BM uptake > liver SUVmean was selected as the positivity cut-off of pathological uptake in BM after comparing BM uptake in normal control and MM patients. With this interpretation cut-off, we de…

Identification of resistance pathways and therapeutic targets in relapsed multiple myeloma patients through single-cell sequencing.

Multiple myeloma (MM) is a neoplastic plasma-cell disorder characterized by clonal proliferation of malignant plasma cells. Despite extensive research, disease heterogeneity within and between treatment-resistant patients is poorly characterized. In the present study, we conduct a prospective, multicenter, single-arm clinical trial (NCT04065789), combined with longitudinal single-cell RNA-sequencing (scRNA-seq) to study the molecular dynamics of MM resistance mechanisms. Newly diagnosed MM patients (41), who either failed to respond or experienced early relapse after a bortezomib-containing in…
