Project description:Multiple myeloma (MM) represents an incurable hematologic malignancy. Despite significant advances over the past decade, with the advent of multiple new classes of anti-myeloma agents, including immunomodulatory drugs, proteasome inhibitors and monoclonal antibodies, patients ultimately relapse. Selinexor is a first-in-class exportin-1 inhibitor with activity in these multiply relapsed and refractory patients. Although the current Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval is for the doublet of Selinexor in combination with dexamethasone, ongoing clinical trials are evaluating a number of combination regimens. These triplet and quadruplet, selinexor-based, regimens are showing significant activity in "triple-class" refractory patients. With appropriate combination drug choice, drug dosing, and supportive measures, patients with previously no viable options for therapy, now have multiple potential regimens to control their disease.

Project description:A randomized phase II selection design study (JCOG0904) was carried out to evaluate the more promising regimen between bortezomib (Bor) plus dexamethasone (Dex; BD) and thalidomide (Thal) plus Dex (TD) in Bor and Thal-naïve patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM). Patients ≥20 and <80 years old with a documented diagnosis of symptomatic multiple myeloma (MM) who received one or more prior therapies were randomized to receive BD (Bor 1.3 mg/m2 ) or TD (Thal 200 mg/d). In both arms, 8 cycles of induction (3-week cycle) were followed by maintenance phase (5-week cycle) until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, or patient refusal. The primary end-point was 1-year progression-free survival (PFS). Forty-four patients were randomized and assigned to receive BD and TD (n = 22, each group). At a median follow-up of 34.3 months, the 1-year PFS in the BD and TD arms were 45.5% (95% confidence interval (CI), 24.4%-64.3%) and 31.8% (95% CI, 14.2%-51.1%), respectively, and the overall response rates were 77.3% and 40.9%, respectively. The 3-year overall survival (OS) was 70.0% (95% CI, 44.9%-85.4%) in the BD, and 48.8% (95% CI, 25.1%-69.0%) in the TD arm. Among grade 3/4 adverse events, thrombocytopenia (54.5% vs 0.0%) and sensory peripheral neuropathy (22.7% vs 9.1%) were more frequent in BD when compared with the TD arm. Patients treated with BD had better outcomes than those treated with TD with regard to 1-year PFS and 3-year OS. Thus, BD was prioritized over TD for further investigations in Bor and Thal-naïve RRMM patients. (Clinical trial registration no. UMIN000003135.).

Project description:Multiple myeloma is the second most common hematological malignancy. Despite significant advances in treatment, relapse is common and carries a poor prognosis. Thus, it is critical to elucidate the genetic factors contributing to disease progression and drug resistance. Here, we carry out integrative clinical sequencing of 511 relapsed, refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM) patients to define the disease's molecular alterations landscape. The NF-κB and RAS/MAPK pathways are more commonly altered than previously reported, with a prevalence of 45-65% each. In the RAS/MAPK pathway, there is a long tail of variants associated with the RASopathies. By comparing our RRMM cases with untreated patients, we identify a diverse set of alterations conferring resistance to three main classes of targeted therapy in 22% of our cohort. Activating mutations in IL6ST are also enriched in RRMM. Taken together, our study serves as a resource for future investigations of RRMM biology and potentially informs clinical management.

Project description:BackgroundTeclistamab is a T-cell-redirecting bispecific antibody that targets both CD3 expressed on the surface of T cells and B-cell maturation antigen expressed on the surface of myeloma cells. In the phase 1 dose-defining portion of the study, teclistamab showed promising efficacy in patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma.MethodsIn this phase 1-2 study, we enrolled patients who had relapsed or refractory myeloma after at least three therapy lines, including triple-class exposure to an immunomodulatory drug, a proteasome inhibitor, and an anti-CD38 antibody. Patients received a weekly subcutaneous injection of teclistamab (at a dose of 1.5 mg per kilogram of body weight) after receiving step-up doses of 0.06 mg and 0.3 mg per kilogram. The primary end point was the overall response (partial response or better).ResultsAmong 165 patients who received teclistamab, 77.6% had triple-class refractory disease (median, five previous therapy lines). With a median follow-up of 14.1 months, the overall response rate was 63.0%, with 65 patients (39.4%) having a complete response or better. A total of 44 patients (26.7%) were found to have no minimal residual disease (MRD); the MRD-negativity rate among the patients with a complete response or better was 46%. The median duration of response was 18.4 months (95% confidence interval [CI], 14.9 to not estimable). The median duration of progression-free survival was 11.3 months (95% CI, 8.8 to 17.1). Common adverse events included cytokine release syndrome (in 72.1% of the patients; grade 3, 0.6%; no grade 4), neutropenia (in 70.9%; grade 3 or 4, 64.2%), anemia (in 52.1%; grade 3 or 4, 37.0%), and thrombocytopenia (in 40.0%; grade 3 or 4, 21.2%). Infections were frequent (in 76.4%; grade 3 or 4, 44.8%). Neurotoxic events occurred in 24 patients (14.5%), including immune effector cell-associated neurotoxicity syndrome in 5 patients (3.0%; all grade 1 or 2).ConclusionsTeclistamab resulted in a high rate of deep and durable response in patients with triple-class-exposed relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma. Cytopenias and infections were common; toxic effects that were consistent with T-cell redirection were mostly grade 1 or 2.

Project description:The therapeutic strategy for relapsed and refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM) integrates a holistic approach regarding patient, disease, and drug-related factors. Patient-related factors include age, frailty status, and underlying comorbidities, especially cardiovascular and renal diseases and peripheral neuropathies that affect tolerability to multiple drug combinations or transplantations. Disease-related factors encompass these multiple patient-related factors, particularly the aggressiveness of the disease and cytogenetics. Regarding drug-related factors, the approval of novel proteasome inhibitors (such as carfilzomib and ixazomib), immunomodulatory agents (such as pomalidomide), monoclonal antibodies (such as daratumumab and elotuzumab), and new classes of drugs increasingly makes the choice treatment more complex and necessitates a comprehensive summary and an update of the efficacy and toxicities of each antimyeloma drug and its combinations. Further, careful monitoring of the side effects and supportive care throughout the course of treatment are important to achieve better outcomes for patients with RRMM.

Project description:AbstractTwice-weekly carfilzomib (27 mg/m2) plus lenalidomide and dexamethasone (KRd27) is a standard of care in relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM). Once-weekly carfilzomib regimens have shown clinical benefits with improved patient convenience. This open-label, phase 3, multicenter, randomized study aimed to demonstrate noninferiority of the overall response rate (ORR) for once-weekly carfilzomib (56 mg/m2) plus Rd (KRd56) vs twice-weekly KRd27 in RRMM. A total of 454 patients were randomized (1:1) to receive carfilzomib as once-weekly 30-minute infusions of 56 mg/m2 (KRd56; n = 228) or twice-weekly 10-minute infusions of 27 mg/m2 (KRd27; n = 226). Baseline characteristics were balanced between groups. ORR was 82.5% (95% confidence interval [CI], 76.9-87.2) in the once-weekly group vs 86.3% (95% CI, 81.1-90.5) in the twice-weekly group (risk ratio, 0.954 [95% CI, 0.882-1.032]) and did not meet the threshold for statistical significance of noninferiority (P = .0666). Complete response (CR) or better was obtained in 46.9% of patients in the once-weekly arm and 36.3% in the twice-weekly arm. The proportions of patients who achieved CR and were also assessed negative for minimal residual disease were 21.5% and 18.1%, respectively (odds ratio, 1.235 [95% CI, 0.775-1.970]). Progression-free survival was comparable between groups (hazard ratio, 0.945 [95% CI, 0.617-1.447]). The safety profile was similar for both groups. In conclusion, although statistical significance for noninferiority of ORR was not achieved, the efficacy and safety of once-weekly KRd56 were similar to those of twice-weekly KRd27, and once-weekly KRd56 may be an effective and convenient treatment option for patients with RRMM. This trial was registered at www.ClinicalTrials.gov as #NCT03859427.

Project description:IntroductionTalquetamab, a bispecific antibody targeting GPRC5D × CD3, is approved for the treatment of patients with triple-class -exposed (TCE) relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM) on the basis of the results from the phase I/II MonumenTAL-1 trial. The relative effectiveness of talquetamab vs. real-world physician's choice of therapy (RWPC) was assessed using adjusted comparisons.MethodsAn external control arm for MonumenTAL-1 (subcutaneously administered talquetamab 0.4 mg/kg weekly [QW] and 0.8 mg/kg every other week [Q2W]) was created from two observational real-world studies: LocoMMotion and MoMMent. Imbalances in baseline covariates were adjusted using inverse probability weighting. The relative effectiveness of talquetamab vs. RWPC was estimated for overall response rate (ORR), ≥ very good partial response (VGPR), and ≥ complete response (CR); odds ratios and relative response ratios (RRs) were derived from weighted logistic regression. Hazard ratios (HRs) for duration of response (DOR), progression-free survival (PFS), time to next treatment (TTNT), and overall survival (OS) were estimated using a weighted Cox proportional hazards model.ResultsAfter reweighting, baseline characteristics were balanced across cohorts. In adjusted comparisons, patients treated with talquetamab QW (n = 143) had significantly improved outcomes vs. RWPC; RRs were ORR 2.67, p < 0.0001; ≥ VGPR 4.70, p < 0.0001; ≥ CR 78.05, p = 0.0002; and HRs were PFS 0.52, p < 0.0001; TTNT 0.48, p < 0.0001; OS 0.36, p < 0.0001. Patients treated with talquetamab Q2W (n = 145) also had significantly improved outcomes vs. RWPC; RRs were ORR 2.62, p < 0.0001; ≥ VGPR 5.04, p < 0.0001; ≥ CR 101.14, p = 0.0002; and HRs were PFS 0.40, p < 0.0001; TTNT 0.39, p < 0.0001; OS 0.37, p < 0.0001.ConclusionEffectiveness of talquetamab for both schedules was significantly better than RWPC for ORR, ≥ VGPR, ≥ CR, PFS, OS, and TTNT, highlighting its clinical benefit for patients with TCE RRMM.Trial registrationMonumenTAL-1, ClinicalTrials.gov identifier NCT03399799/NCT04634552; LocoMMotion, ClinicalTrials.gov identifier NCT04035226; MoMMent, ClinicalTrials.gov identifier NCT05160584.
