Long-term follow-up of a comparison of nonmyeloablative allografting with autografting for newly diagnosed myeloma.

ABSTRACT: Before the introduction of new drugs, we designed a trial where treatment of newly diagnosed myeloma patients was based on the presence or absence of HLA-identical siblings. First-line treatments included a cytoreductive autograft followed by a nonmyeloablative allograft or a second melphalan-based autograft. Here, we report long-term clinical outcomes and discuss them in the light of the recent remarkable advancements in the treatment of myeloma. After a median follow-up of 7 years, median overall survival (OS) was not reached (P = .001) and event-free survival (EFS) was 2.8 years (P = .005) for 80 patients with HLA-identical siblings and 4.25 and 2.4 years for 82 without, respectively. Median OS was not reached (P = .02) and EFS was 39 months (P = .02) in the 58 patients who received a nonmyeloablative allograft whereas OS was 5.3 years and EFS 33 months in the 46 who received 2 high-dose melphalan autografts. Among patients who reached complete remission in these 2 cohorts, 53% and 19% are in continuous complete remission. Among relapsed patients rescued with "new drugs," median OS from the start of salvage therapy was not reached and was 1.7 (P = .01) years, respectively. Allografting conferred a long-term survival and disease-free advantage over standard autografting in this comparative study.

Project description:CALGB (Alliance) 100001 was a phase II study evaluating autologous stem cell transplant (ASCT) followed by nonmyeloablative allogeneic stem cell transplant (alloSCT) in patients with multiple myeloma who had received no more than 18 months of prior therapy and had experienced no more than 1 prior progression event. Conditioning for ASCT was with high-dose melphalan (200 mg/m2). The alloSCT reduced-intensity conditioning (RIC) regimen consisted of fludarabine (30 mg/m2/d i.v. on days -7 through -3) and cyclophosphamide (1 g/m2/d i.v. on days -4 through -3). The primary objective was to determine the 6-month post-alloSCT treatment-related mortality (TRM) rate. Additional objectives included determining the proportion of patients who could complete this tandem ASCT-alloSCT approach in a cooperative group setting, overall response rates, rates of donor chimerism, rates of graft-versus-host disease (GVHD), disease-free survival, and overall survival (OS). Sixty patients were enrolled, of whom 57 (95%) completed ASCT and 49 (82%) completed tandem ASCT-alloSCT. The TRM rate was 2% (1/49; 90% confidence interval, 0.10% to 9.3%). Moderate to severe (grades 2 to 3) acute GVHD was observed in 13 of 49 alloSCT patients (27%). One patient died due to GVHD within 9 months of alloSCT. Twenty-seven of the 49 patients (55%) who underwent alloSCT reported chronic GVHD as either limited (15/49; 31%) or extensive (12/49; 24%) in the first year post-alloSCT and prior to the start of nonprotocol therapy for progressive disease. With a median follow-up for survival of 11 years, the median OS time is 6.6 years and the median time to disease progression is 3.6 years. Similar to other studies, this study confirmed that tandem ASCT/alloSCT is associated with durable disease control in a subset of patients. This study demonstrated the feasibility of performing tandem ASCT/alloSCT in a cooperative group setting and determined that a fludarabine/cyclophosphamide RIC regimen is associated with a very low TRM rate.

Project description:PurposeThe combination of lenalidomide, bortezomib, and dexamethasone (RVD) is a highly effective and convenient induction regimen for both transplantation-eligible and -ineligible patients with myeloma. Here, we present the largest cohort of patients consecutively treated with RVD induction therapy followed by risk-adapted maintenance therapy with the longest follow-up and important information on long-term outcomes.Patients and methodsWe describe 1,000 consecutive patients with newly diagnosed myeloma treated with RVD induction therapy from January 2007 until August 2016. Demographic and clinical characteristics and outcomes data were obtained from our institutional review board-approved myeloma database. Responses and progression were evaluated per International Myeloma Working Group Uniform Response Criteria.ResultsThe overall response rate was 97.1% after induction therapy and 98.5% after transplantation, with 89.9% of patients achieving a very good partial response (VGPR) or better and 33.3% achieving stringent complete response after transplantation at a median follow-up time of 67 months. The estimated median progression-free survival time was 65 months (95% CI, 58.7 to 71.3 months) for the entire cohort, 40.3 months (95% CI, 33.5 to 47 months) for high-risk patients, and 76.5 months (95% CI, 66.9 to 86.2 months) for standard-risk patients. The median overall survival (OS) time for the entire cohort was 126.6 months (95% CI, 113.3 to 139.8 months). The median OS for high-risk patients was 78.2 months (95% CI, 62.2 to 94.2 months), whereas it has not been reached for standard-risk patients. Five-year OS rates for high-risk and standard-risk patients were 57% and 81%, respectively, and the 10-year OS rates were 29% and 58%, respectively.ConclusionRVD is an induction regimen that delivers high response rates (VGPR or better) in close to 90% of patients after transplantation, and risk-adapted maintenance can deliver unprecedented long-term outcomes. This study includes the largest cohort of patients treated with RVD reported to date with long follow-up and demonstrates the ability of 3-drug induction regimens in patients with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma to result in a substantial survival benefit.
