Efficacy and Safety of Panobinostat in Relapsed or/and Refractory Multiple Myeloma: Meta Analyses of Clinical Trials and Systematic Review.

ABSTRACT: During the past decades, many novel agents have improved response and survival of patients with multiple myeloma. Nevertheless, it remains challenging when they suffer relapsing. Thus, novel therapeutic agents are needed. We aimed to assess the efficacy and safety of a novel agent panobinostat for patients with relapsed or/and refractory MM. A systematic literature review identified studies for clinical trials about panobinostat in patients with relapsed or/and refractory MM. We searched studies published between January 2000 and December 2015 in Pubmed, Ovid, EBSCO and the Cochrane library. Random-effect pooled estimates were calculated for overall response rate and rates of common adverse effects. The results showed 11 clinical trials including 700 patients with relapsed or/and refractory MM treated with panobinostat were identified. The ORR varied between 0.08 and 0.67. Pooled analyses showed the results that the ORR was 0.45 (95% CI: 0.31-0.59, I(2) = 90.5%, P = 0.000) for panobinostat combined with any other kind of drugs. The most common Grade3/4 adverse effects were thrombocytopenia, neutropenia, lymphopenia, anemia, diarrhea, fatigue, nausea and so on. In conclusion, based on our analyses, the regimen of panobinostat combining with other agents seems to be well tolerated and efficacious in patients with relapsed or/and refractory MM.

Project description:Background: In recent years, chimeric antigen receptor-modified T (CAR-T) cell therapy for B-cell leukemia and lymphoma has shown high clinical efficacy. Similar CAR-T clinical trials have also been carried out in patients with refractory/relapsed multiple myeloma (RRMM). However, no systematic review has evaluated the efficacy and safety of CAR-T cell therapy in RRMM. The purpose of this study was to fill this literature gap. Methods: Eligible studies were searched in PUBMED, EMBASE, the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL), CNKI, and WanFang from data inception to December 2019. For efficacy assessment, the overall response rate (ORR), minimal residual disease (MRD) negativity rate, strict complete response (sCR), complete response (CR), very good partial response (VGPR), and partial response (PR) were calculated. The incidence of any grade cytokine release syndrome (CRS) and grade ≥3 adverse events (AEs) were calculated for safety analysis. The effect estimates were then pooled using an inverse variance method. Results: Overall, 27 studies involving 497 patients were included in this meta-analysis. The pooled ORR and MRD negativity rate were 89% (95% Cl: 83-94%) and 81% (95% Cl: 67-91%), respectively. The pooled sCR, CR, VGPR, and PR were 14% (95% Cl: 5-27%), 13% (95% Cl: 4-26%), 23% (95% Cl: 14-33%), and 15% (95% Cl: 10-21%), respectively. Subgroup analyses of ORR by age, proportion of previous autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT), and target selection of CAR-T cells revealed that age ≤ 55 years (≤55 years vs. > 55 years, p = 0.0081), prior ASCT ≤70% (≤70% vs. > 70%, p = 0.035), and bispecific CAR-T cells (dual B-cell maturation antigen (BCMA)/BCMA + CD19 vs specific BCMA, p = 0.0329) associated with higher ORR in patients. Subgroup analyses of remission depth by target selection suggested that more patients achieved a better response than VGPR with dual BCMA/BCMA + CD19 CAR-T cells compared to specific BCMA targeting (p = 0.0061). In terms of safety, the pooled incidence of any grade and grade ≥ 3 CRS was 76% (95% CL: 63-87%) and 11% (95% CL: 6-17%). The most common grade ≥ 3 AEs were hematologic toxic effects. Conclusion: In heavily treated patients, CAR-T therapy associates with promising responses and tolerable AEs, as well as CRS in RRMM. However, additional information regarding the durability of CAR-T cell therapy, as well as further randomized controlled trials, is needed.

Project description:ObjectivesTo systematically review and meta-analyse the evidence for effect modification by refractory status and number of treatment lines in relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM); and to assess whether effect modification is likely to invalidate network meta-analyses (NMA) that assume negligible modification.DesignSystematic review, meta-analysis and simulation.Data sourcesWe systematically searched the literature (e.g., OVID Medline) to identify eligible publications in February 2020 and regularly updated the search until January 2022. We also contacted project stakeholders (including industry) ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA: Phase 2 and 3 randomised controlled trials reporting stratified estimates for comparisons with at least one of a prespecified set of treatments relevant for use in Norwegian RRMM patients.OutcomesWe used meta-analysis to estimate relative HRs (RHRs) for overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) with respect to refractory status and number of treatment lines. We used the estimated RHRs in simulations to estimate the percentage of NMA results expected to differ significantly in the presence versus absence of effect modification.ResultsAmong the 42 included publications, stratified estimates were published by and extracted from up to 18 (43%) publications and on as many as 8364 patients. Within-study evidence for effect modification is very weak (p>0.05 for 47 of 49 sets of stratified estimates). The largest RHR estimated was 1.32 (95% CI 1.18 to 1.49) for the modifying effect of refractory status on HR for PFS. Simulations suggest that, in the worst case, this would result in only 4.48% (95% CI 4.42% to 4.54%) of NMA estimates differing statistically significantly in the presence versus absence of effect modification.ConclusionsBased on the available evidence, effect modification appears to be sufficiently small that it can be neglected in adequately performed NMAs. NMAs can probably be relied on to provide estimates of HRs for OS and PFS in RRMM, subject to caveats discussed herein.
