Hyperhaploidy is a novel high-risk cytogenetic subgroup in multiple myeloma.

ABSTRACT: Hyperhaploid clones (24-34 chromosomes) were identified in 33 patients with multiple myeloma (MM), demonstrating a novel numerical cytogenetic subgroup. Strikingly, all hyperhaploid karyotypes were found to harbor monosomy 17p, the single most important risk stratification lesion in MM. A catastrophic loss of nearly a haploid set of chromosomes results in disomies of chromosomes 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 15, 18, 19 and 21, the same basic set of odd-numbered chromosomes found in trisomy in hyperdiploid myeloma. All other autosomes are found in monosomy, resulting in additional clinically relevant monosomies of 1p, 6q, 13q and 16q. Hypotriploid subclones (58-68 chromosomes) were also identified in 11 of the 33 patients and represent a duplication of the hyperhaploid clone. Analysis of clones utilizing interphase fluorescence in situ hybridization (iFISH), metaphase FISH and spectral karyotyping identified either monosomy 17 or del17p in all patients. Amplification of 1q21 was identified in eight patients, demonstrating an additional high-risk marker. Importantly, our findings indicate that current iFISH strategies may be uninformative or ambiguous in the detection of these clones, suggesting this patient subgroup maybe underreported. Overall survival for patients with hyperhaploid clones was poor, with a 5-year survival rate of 23.1%. These findings identify a distinct numerical subgroup with cytogenetically defined high-risk disease.

Project description:ImportanceThe addition of daratumumab to backbone multiple myeloma (MM) regimens is associated with improved response rates and progression-free survival (PFS). Whether improved outcomes are also associated with this regimen among patients with cytogenetically defined high-risk MM (HRMM) remains unclear.ObjectiveTo measure PFS associated with adding daratumumab to backbone MM regimens among patients with HRMM.Data sourcesFor this systematic review and meta-analysis, MEDLINE, Embase, PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science Core Collection, Cochrane Library, clinical trials registries, and meeting libraries were searched from inception to January 2, 2020, using terms reflecting multiple myeloma and daratumumab.Study selectionIncluded studies were phase 3 randomized clinical trials that compared backbone MM regimens with the same regimen plus daratumumab in newly diagnosed or relapsed or refractory MM, such that the only difference between the intervention and control groups was use of daratumumab and reported outcomes by cytogenetic risk. High-risk MM was defined as the presence of t(4;14), t(14;16), or del(17p).Data extraction and synthesisUsing the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses (PRISMA) reporting guideline, 2 investigators independently extracted study data, with disagreements resolved by a third investigator. Quality was assessed by the Cochrane risk-of-bias method.Main outcomes and measuresData on effectiveness were extracted using hazard ratios (HRs) for PFS. Relative log-HRs were pooled using a DerSimonian-Laird random-effects model. Heterogeneity was assessed using the Cochran Q and the I2 statistic.ResultsOf 5194 studies screened, 6 phase 3 trials were eligible, including 3 trials for newly diagnosed MM (2528 patients; 358 with HRMM) and 3 trials for relapsed or refractory MM (1533 patients; 222 with HRMM). Among patients with newly diagnosed HRMM, the addition of daratumumab to backbone regimens was associated with improved PFS (pooled HR, 0.67; 95% CI, 0.47-0.95; P = .02), with little evidence of heterogeneity (Cochran Q, P = .77; I2 = 0%). Similar results were seen among patients with relapsed or refractory HRMM (pooled HR, 0.45; 95% CI, 0.30-0.67; P < .001), again with little evidence of heterogeneity (Cochran Q, P = .63; I2 = 0%).Conclusions and relevanceThis study suggests that incorporating daratumumab to backbone regimens may be associated with improved PFS among patients with newly diagnosed HRMM or relapsed or refractory HRMM.

Project description:BackgroundMultiple myeloma (MM) is a disease characterized by heterogeneous clinical presentations as well as complex genetic and molecular abnormalities. In MM, cytogenetic analysis is a challenge because of the low proliferation of malignant plasma cells. Thus, interphase fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH), performed on sorted plasma cells detected abnormalities independently of a proliferative and infiltrative index. The purpose of this study was to explore, for the first time, the cytogenetic and molecular genetics features in Moroccan patients with multiple myeloma referred exclusively to National Reference Laboratory and to determine their risk stratification based on these features.MethodsWe performed cytogenetic analysis on 93 MM cases, all patients were subjected to FISH analysis, among which 45 patients have benefited from both FISH analysis and standard karyotype.ResultsKaryotype was normal in 78% (35/45) while, it was complex with varied structural and numerical abnormalities in 22% (10/45) of all patients, among which Hyperdiploid karyotype was found in 9% (n = 4 cases) and nonhyperdiploid in 13% (n = 6 cases). The most common numerical abnormalities were gains of chromosomes 3, 5, 9, 15, and 19. Whole chromosome losses were also frequent, affecting chromosomes X, 3, 14, 16 and 22. FISH analysis detected abnormalities in 50% of cases. The translocation t(4;14) and dup (1q) were the most frequent types of anomalies (14% and 13% respectively), followed by (17p) deletion and 14q32/IGH translocations with an undetermined origin (12% each) then the (1p) deletion (4%). For the normal karyotypes, FISH revealed chromosome abnormalities in 46%.ConclusionThis study compares the results of cytogenetic analysis of chromosomal abnormalities in the Moroccan population with other countries. ½ patient showed at least one type of molecular genetic abnormalities. Therefore, the introducing of the cytogenetic analysis is obligatory in the diagnosis of multiple myeloma.
