BCMA-targeted bortezomib nanotherapy improves therapeutic efficacy, overcomes resistance, and modulates the immune microenvironment in multiple myeloma.

Bortezomib (BTZ) is a standard-of-care treatment in multiple myeloma (MM); however, adverse side effects and development of resistance limit its long term benefit. To improve target specificity, therapeutic efficacy, and overcome resistance, we designed nanoparticles that encapsulate BTZ and are surface-functionalized with BCMA antibodies (BCMA-BTZ-NPs). We confirmed efficient cellular internalization of the BCMA-BTZ-NPs only in BCMA-expressing MM cells, but not in BCMA-knockout (KO) cells. In addition, BCMA-BTZ-NPs showed target-specific cytotoxicity against MM cell lines and primary tumor ce…

Simultaneous XIAP and cIAP1/2 inhibition by a dimeric SMAC mimetic AZD5582 induces apoptosis in multiple myeloma.

Overexpression of inhibitor of apoptosis (IAP) proteins is associated with poor prognosis. In multiple myeloma (MM), the IAP inhibitors (IAPi), LCL161, have been evaluated in preclinical and clinical settings but are not fully effective. Among IAPs, XIAP has the strongest anti-apoptotic function with direct binding activity to caspases and cIAP1 and cIAP2 are positive regulator of NF-κB signaling. Prior IAPi such as LCL161 has high affinity to cIAP1 and cIAP2 resulting in inferior inhibiting activity against XIAP. A novel dimeric IAPi, AZD5582 (C58H78N8O8), have high binding potency to XIAP wi…

SETDB1 induces lenalidomide resistance in multiple myeloma cells via epithelial‑mesenchymal transition and PI3K/AKT pathway activation.

SET domain bifurcated histone lysine methyltransferase 1 (SETDB1) is a histone H3K9 methyltransferase that stimulates cell proliferation by methylating AKT, which contributes to drug resistance in multiple myeloma (MM). Lenalidomide is an immunomodulatory agent widely used in the treatment of MM. However, lenalidomide resistance occurs in patients with MM. Currently, the role of SETDB1 in lenalidomide resistance in MM remains unclear. Thus, the present study aimed to explore the functional association between SETDB1 and lenalidomide resistance in MM. The analysis of GEO datasets revealed that …

Real-world experience of patients with multiple myeloma receiving ide-cel after a prior BCMA-targeted therapy.

Most patients with multiple myeloma experience disease relapse after treatment with a B-cell maturation antigen-targeted therapy (BCMA-TT), and data describing outcomes for patients treated with sequential BCMA-TT are limited. We analyzed clinical outcomes for patients infused with standard-of-care idecabtagene vicleucel, an anti-BCMA chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy, at 11 US medical centers. A total of 50 patients with prior BCMA-TT exposure (38 antibody-drug conjugate, 7 bispecific, 5 CAR T) and 153 patients with no prior BCMA-TT were infused with ide-cel, with a median follow…

Ethical Challenges with Multiple Myeloma BCMA Chimeric Antigen Receptor T Cell Slot Allocation: A Multi-Institution Experience.

Chimeric antigen receptor T cell (CAR-T) therapies are Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved for patients with triple refractory multiple myeloma (MM). Real-world access to CAR-T therapy remains challenging owing to supply chain limitations impacting manufacturing. The goal of this study was to evaluate the extent of this issue and how major centers are handling the challenges of CAR-T manufacturing slot allocation. MM CAR-T physician leaders at each CAR-T treatment center across the United States were surveyed. We received responses from 17 of 20 centers. A median of 1 slot is allocated…

Improving NK cell function in multiple myeloma with NKTR-255, a novel polymer-conjugated human IL-15.

Multiple myeloma (MM) is characterized by an immunosuppressive microenvironment that enables tumor development. One of the mechanisms of immune evasion used by MM cells is the inhibition of natural killer (NK) cell effector functions; thus, the restoration of NK cell antitumor activity represents a key goal to increase tumor cell recognition, avoid tumor escape and potentially enhancing the effect of other drugs. In this study, we evaluated the ability of the investigational medicine NKTR-255, an IL-15 receptor agonist, to engage the IL-15 pathway and stimulate NK cells against MM cells. We ob…

Comparative efficacy of novel-drugs combined therapeutic regimens on relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma: a network meta-analysis.

BACKGROUND: Although multiple myeloma is still incurable, an abundance of novel treatments have become available for relapsed and or refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM). Direct head-to-head comparisons between the novel treatments are lacking. We performed a network meta-analysis to evaluate immediate effects such as response quality of current novel-drugs combined therapeutic regimens, with the aim to identify treatments that could be more effective than others in RRMM. METHODS: We searched Cochrane Library, PubMed, Embase, and Web of Science for randomized controlled clinical trials receivin…

Extracellular vesicles mediate the communication between multiple myeloma and bone marrow microenvironment in a NOTCH dependent way.

Multiple myeloma (MM) is an incurable hematologic neoplasm, whose poor prognosis is deeply affected by the propensity of tumor cells to localize in the bone marrow (BM) and induce the protumorigenic activity of normal BM cells, leading to events associated with tumor progression, including tumor angiogenesis, osteoclastogenesis, and the spread of osteolytic bone lesions. The interplay between MM cells and the BM niche does not only rely on direct cell-cell interaction, but a crucial role is also played by MM-derived extracellular vesicles (MM-EV). Here, we demonstrated that the oncogenic NOTCH…

Alternating bortezomib-dexamethasone and lenalidomide-dexamethasone in patients with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma aged over 75 years.

More than 40% of Japanese patients with multiple myeloma (MM) are over 75 years of age at diagnosis. Regardless of the treatment benefits, complications and relapses obstruct long-term survival. We conducted a phase II, open-label, single-arm, multicenter clinical trial to assess the efficacy and safety of alternating bortezomib-dexamethasone (Bd) and lenalidomide-dexamethasone (Ld) (Bd/Ld) treatment in MM patients aged over 75 years (MARBLE trial). Patients received Bd therapy from days 1 to 35 and Ld therapy from days 36 to 63. For Bd therapy, patients were administered bortezomib 1.3 mg/m2 …

High-Dose Bendamustine, Etoposide, Cytarabine, and Melphalan (BeEAM) Conditioning Before Autologous Transplantation for Patients With Multiple Myeloma.

Single-agent high-dose melphalan (Mel) followed by autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) remains a standard of care in eligible patients with multiple myeloma (MM), and efforts to improve transplant outcomes by intensifying transplant conditioning have mostly failed. Bendamustine combines both alkylating and antimetabolite properties, can induce responses in MM resistant to other alkylators and represents a promising agent to combine with Mel prior to ASCT. We performed a phase II study to test the safety and efficacy of the high-dose chemotherapy combination of bendamustine, etoposide, …
