Target Audience This activity has been designed to meet the educational needs of hematologistoncologists and medical oncologists involved in the care of patients with multiple myeloma 1
Learning Objectives At the conclusion of this activity, participants should be able to: Utilize the International Staging System (ISS), cytogenetics, fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH), and gene expression profiling to define patient prognosis and risk stratification Select treatment combinations in the frontline setting based on risk and patient-specific characteristics Assess treatment response to induction therapy and determine which patients will benefit from consolidation and/or maintenance therapy Select an appropriate course of therapy for patients who have relapsed from or become refractory to initial treatment Anticipate and proactively manage disease- and treatment-related side effects and toxicities to maintain compliance with treatment at the dose and schedule that is optimal to achieve best response Distinguish between the various novel agents in clinical development based on their mechanisms of action, safety, and preliminary efficacy Community Case: SMM to Symptomatic MM Jesus G.

Figure 1D, page 688 from Paiva B, et al. Blood. 2012;119:687. Conclusions Achieving maximal response pretransplantation is an early predictor of improved outcomes after ASCT Induction therapy with triplet novel agent based induction regimens can contribute to improved outcomes ASCT is complementary with novel agents and can increase the overall rate of CR 10% to 20% New combinations (eg, with carfilzomib and ixazomib) show promising results Although not yet a standard, posttransplant consolidation seems beneficial to clinical outcomes, particularly for high-risk patients MRD negativity should be the new endpoint of current treatment strategies 43

Presented at: ASH 52nd Annual Meeting; December 2010; Orlando, Florida. Abstract 1944. Background There has been increasing acceptance that continuous or long-term therapy is efficacious in myeloma However, the anti-myeloma benefits of continuous therapy must be balanced with the toxicities of prolonged treatment 51

Summary/Conclusions Continuous therapy emerging as important strategy for improving PFS and likely survival Further studies are needed Determine prospectively which patients do not need such therapy Monitor minimal residual disease to optimize the therapeutic regimen/duration Management of side effects key to ensuring good QoL Choice of agents/regimens Example: LEN better tolerated than thalidomide 1 Dose adjustments Symptom management Monitoring incidence/risk factors for late toxicity important Secondary primary malignancy Example: concomitant MEL and LEN increases risk 2 1.

Treatment of Relapsed/Refractory MM You proceed with carfilzomib 20 mg/m 2 IV D1 and D2 and increase to 27 mg/m 2 for subsequent doses After four cycles your patient is in a partial remission (PR) She is tolerating treatment well but has missed a few appointments over the last 2 cycles, unable to find transportation for the twice-weekly clinic visits Clinical Considerations for Treatment Selection in Relapsed/Refractory Disease Ravi Vij, MD Associate Professor of Medicine Division of Medical Oncology, Section of Bone Marrow Transplantation and Leukemia Washington University School of Medicine St. Louis, Missouri 72

When to Consider Retreatment? Biochemical relapse Patients with asymptomatic rise in M protein can be observed 1 Caveat: patients with known aggressive or high-risk disease should be considered for salvage, even in the setting of biochemical relapse 2? a significant paraprotein relapse (defined as doubling of the M component in two consecutive measurements separated by 2 months or an increase in the absolute levels of serum M protein by 1 g/dl) 2 Clinical relapse Based on direct indicators of increasing disease and/or endorgan dysfunction 3 1.
