8 Multiple Myeloma Malignancy of plasma cells Hallmarks: Anemia Renal failure Bone destruction (lytic bone lesions) Hypercalcemia Presence of monoclonal protein Increased risk of infection

9 Multiple Myeloma Prevalence 2nd most common hematologic malignancy 1% of all malignant diseases About 10% of hematologic malignancies Annual incidence: 4/100,000 Median age at diagnosis is 66 years Younger than 50 years: 10% Median survival from diagnosis: 3-5 years 5-year survival: 31% 10-year survival: 10% 5-year survival: 5%

10 Multiple Myeloma Population subgroups Incidence twice as high in African Americans More frequent in men than women This disease remains incurable in most patients

21 MGUS: Rate of Progression to Any Lymphocytic Disorder

22 MGUS: Risk of Progression Based on Initial M-spike

23 MGUS Size of monoclonal (M) protein and risk of progression to myeloma or related malignancy M-Protein Size (g/dl) Risk of Progression at 10 years (%) Risk of Progression at 20 years (%)

24 Relative Risk Diagnosis of Patients Who Have Progressed from MGUS MM 2.4 IgM lymphoma 8.4 Primary amyloidosis 0.9 Chronic lymphocytic leukemia 8.5 Macroglobulinemia Plasmacytoma Disease

25 Chromosomal Abnormalities in Myeloma Incidence Conventional G-banding: 30-50% of patients Difficult due to low proliferative activities Interphase FISH: > 90% of cases Poor prognosis Deletion of chromosome 13 or 13q14 t(4;14) t(14;16) 17p- Chromosome 1q21 aberration

34 Durie-Salmon Staging System for Myeloma Stage Criteria Myeloma cell mass ( cells/m 2 ) I All of the following: Hemoglobin >10 g/dl Serum calcium level 12 mg/dl (normal) Normal bone or solitary plasmacytoma on x-ray Low M component production rate: IgG <5 g/dl; IgA <3 g/dl Bence Jones protein <4 g/24 hr <0.6 (low) II Not fitting stage I or III (intermediate) III One or more of the following: Hemoglobin <8.5 g/dl Serum calcium level >12 mg/dl Multiple lytic bone lesions on x-ray High M-component production rate: IgG >7 g/dl; IgA >5 g/dl Bence Jones protein >12 g/24 hr >1.2 (high) Subclassification A B Criteria Normal renal function (serum creatinine level <2.0 mg/dl) Abnormal renal function (serum creatinine level 2.0 mg/dl)

35 International Staging System for Myeloma Stage 1 2 M <3.5 and ALB 3.5 ALB <3.5 and Stage 2 2 M <3.5 ALB <3.5 or 2 M 3.5 <5.5 Stage 3 2 M M=serum 2 microglobulin in mg/dl; ALB=serum albumin in g/dl

37 Del 13: Unfavorable Prognosis 1 Deletion of chromosome 13 is the single most powerful adverse prognostic factor for all times to events in patients referred for high-dose therapy OS 65.1 ± 9.8 vs 26.7 ± 4.1 months

41 Chemotherapy

42 Initial Therapy Considerations Ensure patient does not have smoldering MM (asymptomatic MM) Approach to therapy for MM is based on whether a patient is a transplant candidate Consider clinical trials if available Improving complete response rates is a key goal of current trials

43 IBMTR (EBMT) Criteria for Complete and Partial Response* Complete response requires all of following No serum/urine M protein by IFE for 6 wk <5% plasma cells in bone marrow aspirate No increase in size or number of lytic bone lesions Disappearance of soft tissue plasmacytomas Partial response requires all of following 50% reduction in serum M protein 6 wk 90% reduction in 24-hr urinary light chain excretion 50% reduction in soft tissue plasmacytomas No increase in size or number of lytic bone lesions *

44 Initial Approach to Treatment of MM Clearly not a transplant candidate based on age, performance status and comorbidity Potential transplant candidate Conventional chemotherapy or clinical trial Non-alkylator based induction x 4 cycles *Thal/Dex, Dex, or VAD if immediate response is needed Stem cell harvest

45 Current Multiple Myeloma Treatment Adapted from NCCN Practice Guidelines Diagnosis Survival 3-5 yrs Survival < 6 mos without Rx ~12,000 deaths per yr Relapsed Disease Transient Response Survival 1-3 yrs Relapsed/Refractory Disease Shorter TTP Survival 6-9 mos Initial Therapy Cyclophosphamide Melphalan, Prednisone VAD, Doxil Dexamethasone (Dex) Thalidomide + Dex Bortezomib Lenalidomide Non- Transplant Candidate Transplant Candidate Salvage Therapy: Repeat primary therapy (if relapse > 6 mos) Cyclophosphamide, VAD, Doxil Etoposide, Dex, Cytarabine, Cisplatin Thalidomide/IMiDs (CC-5013: lenalidomide) +/- Dex Bortezomib +/- Dex Other Novel Therapies Stem cell harvest, subsequent auto SCT ( single vs double) +/- maintenance therapy Investigational therapy (e.g. Allo)

46 Primary Treatment Approaches for Myeloma Combination therapy examples MP VBAP VAD VBMCP Thal/Dex DT-PACE ABCM

47 Challenges in Management Currently incurable in most patients Chemotherapy response rates = 50% to 70% Long-term complete responses = rare Median survival with standard therapy = 3 years Stem cell transplant prolongs survival, but not curative Treatment of relapse No standard therapy Existing options inadequate New treatment options needed.

48 NCCN Treatment Guidelines for Myeloma Primary conventional therapy Melphalan/prednisone (MP) Vincristine/doxorubicin/dexamethasone (VAD) Dexamethasone Thalidomide/dexamethasone (Thal/Dex) Liposomal doxorubicin/vincristine/ dexamethasone (DVD)

49 Melphalan/Prednisone Treatment Alkylating agent + corticosteroid dosing Dosing: 0.25 mg/kg/day melphalan for 4 days + 20 mg prednisone tid for 4 days Duration: every 4 to 6 wk 40% remission (at least 75% reduction in serum myeloma protein, 95% reduction in Bence Jones proteinuria and >5% marrow plasma cells)

50 Melphalan/Prednisone Treatment Median duration of remission about 2 years At least 3 courses Median survival 3 years <10% live longer than 10 years No evidence of disease cured Drug resistance is an issue Not recommended for candidates for SCT Full benefit takes several months

51 Combination Chemotherapy vs Melphalan/Prednisone 3814 patients in 18 trials of combination chemotherapy vs melphalan/prednisone No difference overall Melphalan/prednisone superior for good prognosis patients MP inferior for poor prognosis patients patients in 27 trials of combination chemotherapy vs melphalan/prednisone Higher response rates to combination chemotherapy Equivalent mortality and survival 2
