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
11 Historical Perspective of Multiple Myeloma 1st patient diagnosed with bone pain and heat soluble and "animal matter" in urine Termed MM BM involvement recognized Plasma cell discovered MM associated with plasmacytosis Peak on serum protein electrophoresis noted Bence Jones and MM serum IgG proteins identical

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

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
38 Plasma cell labeling index
39 Plasmablastic Morphology
40 Circulating plasma cells
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
