Gain of Chromosome 1q is associated with early progression in multiple myeloma patients treated with lenalidomide, bortezomib, and dexamethasone.

ABSTRACT: Gain of chromosome 1q (+1q) is commonly identified in multiple myeloma and has been associated with inferior outcomes. However, the prognostic implication of +1q has not been evaluated in the setting of standard triplet regimens. We retrospectively analyzed 201 consecutive patients with newly diagnosed myeloma who received induction with lenalidomide, bortezomib, and dexamethasone (RVD) and were tested for +1q at diagnosis by fluorescent in-situ hybridization. Patients with +1q (n?=?94), compared to those without +1q (n?=?107), had shorter median progression-free survival (PFS) (41.9 months vs 65.1 months, p?=?0.002, HR?=?1.90) and overall survival (median not reached (NR) for either arm, p?=?0.003, HR 2.69). In subgroup analyses, patients with co-occurring +1q and t(4;14), t(14;16) or del(17p) or with 4 or more copies of 1q had significantly worse PFS (25.1 months and 34.6 months, p?

Project description:BackgroundHigh-dose chemotherapy plus autologous stem-cell transplantation has been the standard treatment for newly diagnosed multiple myeloma in adults up to 65 years of age. However, promising data on the use of combination therapy with lenalidomide, bortezomib, and dexamethasone (RVD) in this population have raised questions about the role and timing of transplantation.MethodsWe randomly assigned 700 patients with multiple myeloma to receive induction therapy with three cycles of RVD and then consolidation therapy with either five additional cycles of RVD (350 patients) or high-dose melphalan plus stem-cell transplantation followed by two additional cycles of RVD (350 patients). Patients in both groups received maintenance therapy with lenalidomide for 1 year. The primary end point was progression-free survival.ResultsMedian progression-free survival was significantly longer in the group that underwent transplantation than in the group that received RVD alone (50 months vs. 36 months; adjusted hazard ratio for disease progression or death, 0.65; P<0.001). This benefit was observed across all patient subgroups, including those stratified according to International Staging System stage and cytogenetic risk. The percentage of patients with a complete response was higher in the transplantation group than in the RVD-alone group (59% vs. 48%, P=0.03), as was the percentage of patients in whom minimal residual disease was not detected (79% vs. 65%, P<0.001). Overall survival at 4 years did not differ significantly between the transplantation group and the RVD-alone group (81% and 82%, respectively). The rate of grade 3 or 4 neutropenia was significantly higher in the transplantation group than in the RVD-alone group (92% vs. 47%), as were the rates of grade 3 or 4 gastrointestinal disorders (28% vs. 7%) and infections (20% vs. 9%). No significant between-group differences were observed in the rates of treatment-related deaths, second primary cancers, thromboembolic events, and peripheral neuropathy.ConclusionsAmong adults with multiple myeloma, RVD therapy plus transplantation was associated with significantly longer progression-free survival than RVD therapy alone, but overall survival did not differ significantly between the two approaches.

Project description:BackgroundMultiple myeloma is genetically heterogeneous, and chromosome abnormalities play a pivotal role in prognosis. A gain in chromosome 1q (+1q) is among the most common cytogenetic abnormalities; however, its relationship with overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) in patients with multiple myeloma is still unclear. We aim to clarify the impact of +1q on the clinical characteristics and survival outcomes of patients treated with bortezomib-based combination regimes.Materials and methodsWe retrospectively analyzed 258 patients first diagnosed with myeloma who underwent bortezomib-based therapy at the bone marrow transplantation department of a multiple myeloma treatment center in the first affiliated hospital of Zhejiang University, China.ResultsWe identified 258 newly diagnosed patients with multiple myeloma in our department from July 2013 to September 2018. We observed that 127 (49.2%) of the patients acquired +1q at diagnosis, and +1q strongly correlated with the occurrence of del(13q) and IgH rearrangement (P < 0.001). In the patients with +1q, the PFS was 22.2 months (95% CI 15.8-28.5 months), and the three-year and five-year PFS was 35.1% and 15.3%, respectively. Univariate analysis revealed that albumin, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), and the percentage of plasma cells significantly affected PFS. Multivariate analysis showed that LDH and the percentage of plasma cells significantly affected PFS in the +1q patients. In terms of OS, the median OS for the +1q patients was 47.4 months (95% CI 34.7-59.5), while the OS of the non-+1q patients was not reached (P = 0.048). The univariate and multivariate analyses revealed that age, platelet count, and extramedullary lesions were significant adverse factors for OS in the +1q patients. There were no statistical differences between PFS and OS when there were other chromosomal abnormalities, but there was a decreased tendency in PFS. LDH and +1q also had a synergistic adverse effect on survival.Conclusion+1q is associated with a higher tumor burden and correlated with the occurrence of del(13q) and IgH rearrangement at diagnosis. In the era of novel agents, +1q still significantly affects PFS and OS.
