Project description:Mass spectrometry (MS) is a promising tool for monitoring monoclonal protein in plasma cell dyscrasias. We included 480 transplant-eligible newly-diagnosed multiple myeloma (MM) patients from the GMMG-MM5 trial (EudraCT No. 2010-019173-16) and performed a retrospective MS analysis at baseline (480 patients) and at the pre-defined, consecutive time points after induction (444 patients), prior to maintenance (305 patients) and after one year of maintenance (227 patients). We found that MS negativity was significantly associated with improved progression-free survival (PFS) even in patients with complete response (CR) at all investigated follow-up time points. The prognostic impact was independent of established risk factors, such as the revised International Staging System. Combining MS and baseline cytogenetics improved the prediction of outcome: MS-positive patients with high-risk cytogenetics had a dismal PFS of 1.9 years (95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.6-2.3 years) from the start of maintenance. Testing the value of sequential MS prior to and after one year of maintenance, patients converting from MS positivity to negativity had an excellent PFS (median not reached) while patients converting from MS negativity to positivity progressed early (median 0.6 years, 95% CI: 0.3-not reached). Among patients with sustained MS positivity, the baseline high-risk cytogenetic status had a significant impact and defined a group with poor PFS. Combining minimal residual disease (MRD) in the bone marrow and MS allowed the identification of double negative patients with a favorable PFS (median 3.33 years, 95% CI: 3.08-not reached) and no overall survival events. Our study provides strong evidence that MS is superior to conventional response monitoring, highlighting the potential of MS to become a new standard. Our data indicate that MS should be performed sequentially and combined with baseline disease features and MRD to improve its clinical value.Clinical Trials Register: EudraCT No. 2010-019173-16.

Project description:BackgroundAlkaline phosphatase (ALP) reflects changes in the condition of multiple myeloma (MM) patients to some extent. However, the relationship of ALP in MM remains uncertain. Our study aimed to determine the association between initial ALP levels and overall survival in newly diagnosed MM patients.MethodsClinical data from 202 newly diagnosed MM patients at Beijing Chaoyang Hospital between 2012 and 2016 were collected. Baseline characteristics, disease progression staging, serum markers, and patient survival data were recorded. The cut-off value for ALP was calculated based on patient survival data, and patients were divided into groups. Differences in patients' 3- and 5-year survival rates, liver function, bone disease and other indicators among different groups were compared. Independent risk factors influencing newly diagnosed MM patients were identified using COX regression analysis.ResultsPatients were categorized into three groups based on ALP cut-off points: Group 1 (ALP <70 U/L), Group 2 (ALP 70 to <120 U/L), and Group 3 (ALP ≥120 U/L). Significant differences were observed in lactate dehydrogenase, serum calcium, white blood cell count, hemoglobin, and liver function indicators (including alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, albumin, and γ-glutamyl transferase) among different ALP groups (P<0.05). ALP levels varied significantly among patients with different bone disease grades (P<0.05). Median survival times for Groups 1, 2, and 3 were 25, 52, and 31 months, respectively. Group 2 exhibited significantly higher 3-year survival compared to the other two groups (P=0.006), while no significant difference was observed in 5-year survival among the three groups (P=0.51). Age, International Staging System staging, aspartate aminotransferase, β2-microglobulin, ALP grading, and severe bone disease were identified as independent factors influencing survival in newly diagnosed patients (P<0.05).ConclusionsALP levels are correlated with the prognosis of MM patients, and an ALP range of 70 to <120 U/L reflects a better survival expectation.

Project description:In multiple myeloma (MM), malignant plasma cells infiltrate the bone marrow. In some cases, plasma cells migrate out of the bone marrow creating either para-skeletal plasmacytomas (PS) or infiltrating soft tissues as extramedullary plasmacytomas (EMD). The aim of this study was to define risk groups in newly diagnosed MM (NDMM) patients with PS and EMD plasmacytomas. In total, 523 NDMM patients with PS plasmacytomas and 196 NDMM patients with EMD plasmacytomas were diagnosed in the Czech Republic between 2004 and 2021 using modern imaging methods. Patients' data were analyzed from the Registry of Monoclonal Gammopathies of the Czech Myeloma Group. In NDMM patients with PS plasmacytomas, we found a subgroup with <5% of bone-marrow plasma cells to have the best prognosis (mPFS: 58.3 months (95% CI: 33.0-NA); mOS: not reached). The subgroup with >5% of bone-marrow plasma cells and ≥3 plasmacytomas had the worst prognosis (mPFS: 19.3 months (95% CI: 13.4-28.8), p < 0.001; mOS: 27.9 months (95% CI: 19.3-67.8), p < 0.001). Our results show association between tumor burden and prognosis of NDMM patients with plasmacytomas. In the case of PS plasmacytomas, NDMM patients with low BM PC infiltration have an excellent prognosis.

Project description:Risk stratification of multiple myeloma (MM) at diagnosis is critical. We examined the ability of hematopoietic indices including mean corpuscular volume (MCV), hemoglobin (Hgb), and platelet (Plt) to predict outcomes. This was a retrospective study of patients treated at Mayo Clinic between January 2004 and April 2018. We incorporated three variables (Hgb < 10 g/dL, Plt < 150 × 109 /L, and MCV > 96 fL), assigning a score of 1 to each. We identified 1540 newly diagnosed MM patients, of whom 707 (46%) had a score of 0, 513 (33%) had a score of 1, 260 (17%) had a score of 2, and 60 (4%) had a score of 3. The score risk stratified patients into four groups with differing survivals. The median PFS was 32.3 months for score 0, 24.8 months for score 1, 21.7 months for score 2, and 18.3 months for score 3, for P < .001. The median OS was 80.7 months for score 0, 59.9 months for score 1, 51.7 months for score 2, and 31.3 months for score 3, P < .0001. Predictors of OS on the multivariable analysis were age ≥ 65 (HR, 1.93; P < .0001), R-ISS stage (1-2 vs 3) (HR, 0.48; P < .0001), and hematopoietic score (0-2 vs 3) (HR, 0.51; P = .006). A hematopoietic score can predict survival in newly diagnosed myeloma patients.

Project description:A subanalysis of the GIMEMA-MMY-3006 trial was performed to characterize treatment-emergent peripheral neuropathy (PN) in patients randomized to thalidomide-dexamethasone (TD) or bortezomib-TD (VTD) before and after double autologous transplantation (ASCT) for multiple myeloma (MM). 236 patients randomized to VTD and 238 to TD were stratified according to the emergence of grade ≥2 PN. Gene expression profiles (GEP) of CD138+ plasma cells were analyzed from 122 VTD-treated patients. The incidence of grade ≥2 PN was 35% in the VTD arm and 10% in the TD arm (p<0.001). PN resolved in 88% and 95% of patients in VTD and TD groups, respectively. Rates of complete/near complete response, progression-free and overall survival were not adversely affected by emergence of grade ≥2 PN. Baseline characteristics were not risk factors for PN, while GEP analysis revealed the deregulated expression of genes implicated in cytoskeleton rearrangement, neurogenesis and axonal guidance. In conclusion, in comparison with TD, incorporation of VTD into ASCT was associated with a higher incidence of PN which, however, was reversible in most of the patients and did not adversely affect their outcomes nor their ability to subsequently receive ASCT. GEP analysis suggests an interaction between myeloma genetic profiles and development of VTD-induced PN.

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.

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.

Project description:Background: The role of body mass index (BMI) in the treatment outcomes of lymphoma patients is controversial. While investigating the efficacy of ABVD-like regimen in Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) patients, we observed that obese patients had poor responses. To better understand this clinical phenomenon, we evaluated the effect of BMI on responses to ABVD-like chemotherapy in HL patients. Methods: This retrospective cohort study evaluated the clinical outcomes of all 67 patients with confirmed HL who were treated at the First Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University from November 2016 to March 2023 with an ABVD-like regimen as first-line chemotherapy. Baseline patient characteristics and clinical outcomes were compared across different BMI categories. The primary end-point was the overall response rate defined as the proportion of the HL patients who achieved complete response or partial response. The additional end-points included progression-free survival and overall survival. Results: The median age of the HL patients was 31 years old. Of the patients, 10.4% were obese, and 17.9% patients were overweight. Interim and end-term response evaluations revealed overall response rates of 98.5% and 83.6%, respectively. The proportion of patients with potential poor prognostic factors (IPS risk factors) did not differ significantly in the responders versus non-responders. However, non-responders had a higher average BMI when compared with responders (p = 0.002). Poor overall response rates in higher BMI patients indeed manifested with shorter progression free survival (p = 0.013). The minimum relative dose of the ABVD-like regimen in the overweight and obese groups was significantly lower than in the normal weight group (p < 0.001). Conclusion: Our analyses show that >80% of newly-diagnosed HL patients responded to the ABVD-like regimen. We find that being obese or overweight at the time of diagnosis correlated with a poorer overall response rate and that BMI was an independent risk factor in HL patients treated with the ABVD-like regimen. Lower doses of ABVD-like regimen contributed to the discrepant findings of responses in the high BMI groups. These findings indicate that newly-diagnosed, obese HL patients receiving an ABVD-like regimen require personalized treatment.

Gene expression profiles (GEP) of CD138+ plasma cells were analyzed from 122 VTD-treated patients. The incidence of grade M-bM-^IM-%2 PN was 35% in the VTD arm and 10% in the TD arm (p<0.001).
