Impact of revised International Staging System 2 risk stratification on outcomes of patients with multiple myeloma receiving autologous haematopoietic stem cell transplantation.

ABSTRACT: The second revision of the International Staging System (R2-ISS) is a simple tool to risk-stratify newly diagnosed multiple myeloma (NDMM) patients. Here, we completed a retrospective analysis to evaluate the utility of R2-ISS in NDMM patients who underwent up-front autologous haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (auto-HCT). A total of 1291 patients were included, with a median age of 62 years (range 29-83). The distribution of R2-ISS stages was: 123 (10%) stage I, 471 (36%) stage II, 566 (44%) stage III and 131 (10%) stage IV. With a median follow-up of 42.2 months (range 0.3-181.0), the median PFS was 73.0, 65.2, 44.0 and 24.8 months, (p < 0.001) and the median OS was 130.8, 128.5, 94.2 and 61.4 months (p < 0.001) for patients with R2-ISS stages I, II, III and IV respectively.
