Decrease in early mortality for newly diagnosed multiple myeloma patients in the Netherlands: a population-based study

ABSTRACT: Identification of risk factors for early mortality (EM) in multiple myeloma (MM) patients may contribute to different therapeutic approaches in patients at risk for EM. This population-based study aimed to assess trends in EM and risk factors for EM among MM patients diagnosed in the Netherlands. All MM patients, newly diagnosed between 1989 and 2018, were identified in the Netherlands Cancer Registry. Patients were categorized into three calendar periods (1989–1998, 1999–2008, 2009–2018) and into five age groups (≤65, 66–70, 71–75, 76–80, >80 years). EM was defined as death by any cause ≤180 days post-diagnosis. We included 28,328 MM patients (median age 70 years; 55% males). EM decreased from 22% for patients diagnosed in 1989–1998 to 13% for patients diagnosed in 2009–2018 (P < 0.01) and this decrease was observed among all age groups. Exact causes of death could not be elucidated. Besides patient’s age, we found that features related to a more aggressive disease presentation, and patient characteristics reflecting patients’ physical condition were predictive of EM. In summary, EM decreased from 1999 onwards. Nevertheless, EM remains high, especially for patients aged >70 years. Therefore, novel strategies should be explored to improve the outcome of patients at risk for EM.

Risk of Early Mortality in Patients With Newly Diagnosed Multiple Myeloma.

Project description:The overall survival of patients with multiple myeloma (MM) has been improved greatly over the last 2 decades with the broader use of novel drugs and autologous tandem transplantation. However, more than one tenth of myeloma patients still die shortly after diagnosis. We therefore aim to investigate the risk factors of early mortality (death within 60 days after diagnosis) in patients with MM. We included in this study 451 consecutive patients with MM, newly diagnosed at an Asian tertiary medical center between January 1, 2002 and April 30, 2015. A total of 57 subjects who experienced early mortality were identified. Risk factors for early mortality in myeloma patients were collected and analyzed. Early mortality occurred in 57 (12.6%) of the myeloma patients. In the multivariate analysis, being male (adjusted OR 2.93, 95% CI 1.17-7.31), serum albumin < 3.5 g/dL (adjusted OR 2.71, 95% CI 1.09-6.74), primary plasma cell leukemia (adjusted OR 17.61, 95% CI 1.01-306.05), serum albumin (adjusted OR 2.70, 95% CI 1.15-6.38), corrected serum calcium ≥ 12 mg/dL (adjusted OR 2.94, 95% CI 1.21-7.14), and LDH ≥ 250 U/L (adjusted OR 3.07, 95% CI 1.50-6.27) were identified as independent risk factors of early mortality. Pneumonia with other infections contributed most to early mortality (n = 36, 65%), followed by renal failure and cardiac failure. The early mortality rate is high (12.6%) in patients with MM. Patients who are male and those with primary plasma cell leukemia, low serum albumin, high-corrected serum calcium, or LDH are at risk of early mortality. Nearly two thirds of the myeloma patients who experienced early mortality in our study (37 of 57, 65%) died of infection. Once a high-risk group is identified, much effort is required to target new approaches for prevention, early detection, and treatment of infections.

A Gene Expression-Based Risk Stratification Model for Newly Diagnosed Multiple Myeloma

Project description:We recently defined a gene expression-based signature of high-risk multiple myeloma; this predictive signature was developed with and independently validated for newly diagnosed patients treated with high dose therapy and stem cell rescue. Here we use Phase 3 clinical trial data to show that this signature also predicts short survival in relapsed disease treated with single agent bortezomib or high dose dexamethasone. In addition, a survival signature derived with relapsed myeloma samples identified newly diagnosed patients with short survival. Taken together these data suggest that a similar biology underlies poor outcome in both newly diagnosed and relapsed myeloma and provide strong evidence that the high-risk signature is a powerful tool to identify patients who are candidates for new therapeutic regimens.

Expression data of newly diagnosed multiple myeloma and extramedullary myeloma

Project description:Despite the development of novel therapeutic agents, multiple myeloma (MM) remains incurable, owing mainly to inevitable relapse in almost all patients. Some relapses occur as extramedullary disease (EMD), which is rare but is the most aggressive event in MM patients. Extramedullary myeloma (EMM) has extraordinary heterogeneous biological and clinical features. Previous studies have shown that expression levels of LncRNAs and mRNAs in different stages of MM are different. This study analyzes the expression levels of LncRNAs and mRNAs in primary plasma cells (PCs) from MM and EMM patients.

Daratumumab in untreated newly diagnosed multiple myeloma.

Project description:The treatment of multiple myeloma has evolved markedly in the last decade, but mortality remains high, emphasizing the need for more effective therapies. Daratumumab, a fully human monoclonal antibody targeting CD38, has shown clinical efficacy in relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma both as monotherapy and in combination with other drugs, including novel agents. More recently, promising results have been reported in patients with untreated newly diagnosed multiple myeloma (NDMM). Clinical trials thus far have shown enhanced efficacy and tolerability of several daratumumab-based combinations in both transplant ineligible and eligible patients, without compromising transplant ability. However, benefit in high-risk subpopulations is still unclear. A subcutaneous formulation of daratumumab has been introduced to decrease the risk of infusion reactions, with preliminary results showing non-inferior efficacy. The antimyeloma activity of daratumumab is achieved through multiple mechanisms including direct, Fc-dependent, and immunomodulatory mechanisms. Enhanced efficacy of daratumumab in combination with immunomodulatory drugs and proteasome inhibitors is supported by preclinical data showing synergism. This review will focus on the role of daratumumab in untreated NDMM patients, highlighting the results of major clinical trials, and listing ongoing trials that are evaluating various daratumumab-based combinations in this setting.

Machine learning-based infection prediction model for newly diagnosed multiple myeloma patients.

Project description:ObjectiveTo understand the infection characteristics and risk factors for infection by analyzing multicenter clinical data of newly diagnosed multiple myeloma (NDMM) patients.MethodsThis study reviewed 564 NDMM patients from 2 large tertiary hospitals from January 2018 to December 2021, of whom 395 comprised the training set and 169 comprised the validation set. Thirty-eight variables from first admission records were collected, including patient demographic characteristics, clinical scores and characteristics, laboratory indicators, complications, and medication history, and key variables were screened using the Lasso method. Multiple machine learning algorithms were compared, and the best performing algorithm was used to build a machine learning prediction model. The model performance was evaluated using the AUC, accuracy, and Youden's index. Finally, the SHAP package was used to assess two cases and demonstrate the application of the model.ResultsIn this study, 15 important key variables were selected, namely, age, ECOG, osteolytic disruption, VCD, neutrophils, lymphocytes, monocytes, hemoglobin, platelets, albumin, creatinine, lactate dehydrogenase, affected globulin, β2 microglobulin, and preventive medicine. The predictive performance of the XGBoost model was significantly better than that of the other models (AUROC: 0.8664), and it also performed well for the expected dataset (accuracy: 68.64%).ConclusionA machine learning algorithm was used to establish an infection prediction model for NDMM patients that was simple, convenient, validated, and performed well in reducing the incidence of infection and improving the prognosis of patients.

Expression data of health individuals and newly diagnosed multiple myeloma

Project description:Multiple myeloma is a multi-stage disease. Based on its laboratory and clinical presentation it can be summarized as MGUS, smoldering myeloma, and multiple myeloma. Previous studies have shown that the expression levels of miRNAs in different stages of the disease are different. This study analyzes the expression levels of miRNAs in healthy individuals and myeloma serum exosomes. We used microarrays to detail the miRNAs expressionin between 12 healthy individuals and 12 multiple myeloma and identified distinct classes of dys-regulated genes.

Newly diagnosed multiple myeloma: making sense of the menu.

Project description:The development of new drugs and subsequent novel combinations for the treatment of newly diagnosed multiple myeloma (NDMM) has resulted in a plethora of treatment options that can make the choice of initial induction therapy a challenge. A greater understanding of both patient- and disease-specific factors can provide a personalized approach to help design a treatment course. Historically, the choice of an induction regimen has been tethered to an initial impression of transplant eligibility at the time of diagnosis. As more effective and better-tolerated induction regimens have emerged, there has been increasing overlap in the induction strategies used for all patients with NDMM, which increasingly provide the ultimate goal of deep and durable remissions. The current treatment options and strategies for the management of NDMM are evaluated using the best available data to provide a rationale for these decisions.

A simple score to predict early severe infections in patients with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma.

Project description:Infections remain a common complication in patients with multiple myeloma (MM) and are associated with morbidity and mortality. A risk score to predict the probability of early severe infection could help to identify the patients that would benefit from preventive measures. We undertook a post hoc analysis of infections in four clinical trials from the Spanish Myeloma Group, involving a total of 1347 patients (847 transplant candidates). Regarding the GEM2010 > 65 trial, antibiotic prophylaxis was mandatory, so we excluded it from the final analysis. The incidence of severe infection episodes within the first 6 months was 13.8%, and majority of the patients experiencing the first episode before 4 months (11.1%). 1.2% of patients died because of infections within the first 6 months (1% before 4 months). Variables associated with increased risk of severe infection in the first 4 months included serum albumin ≤30 g/L, ECOG > 1, male sex, and non-IgA type MM. A simple risk score with these variables facilitated the identification of three risk groups with different probabilities of severe infection within the first 4 months: low-risk (score 0-2) 8.2%; intermediate-risk (score 3) 19.2%; and high-risk (score 4) 28.3%. Patients with intermediate/high risk could be candidates for prophylactic antibiotic therapies.
