Turning to IMWG Summit Key Discussions
Smoldering Multiple Myeloma Committee Report
María-Victoria Mateos, MD, PhD
University of Salamanca, Spain
Shaji Kumar, MD Mayo Clinic
Diagnosis
• Stress importance of confirmation of numbers – also confirms stability/opportunity to observe evolution
• Patients with risk of progression >=80% @ 2 years were reclassified as active MM in 2014
• New risk stratificationhas the highest risk group with progression risk of 72% at the highest, a small group of patients –reclassification?
• Distinction between MGUS and SMM – important form a clinical standpoint, biology is a continuum
Endpoints for trials
• What would be the right endpoint for trials?
– Overall survival is the gold standard but will take many years to find the benefit
• Progression free survival?
• Sustained MRD negativity? If so, how long?
• HRQOL endpoints?
Discussion
Challenges for trial design: “Relapsed SMM”
• If we go with biochemical progression, are they still smoldering when they progress?
• Can they go on another smoldering trial?
• If we wait for CRAB features, then are they considered newly diagnosed MM for a clinical trial?
• Likely the easiest option would be to consider them as relapsed MM with one prior line – if they were treated with a MM type regimen
Combined Mass Spectrometry & MRD Committee Report
Mass Spectrometry
Brian G.M. Durie, MD
International Myeloma Foundation
David Murray, MD, PhD
Mayo Clinic
MRD
Nikhil Munshi, MD
Dana-Farber Cancer Institute
Bruno Pavia, PhD
University of Navarra
Mayo Update
• Performed over 200,000 tests by Mass Spec since 2018
– Retrospectivereviewof first20,000 tests published(Mayo ClinicProceedings)
• Urine Mass Spec is clinically available as of two weeks ago
– Equal sensitivityto urineIFE withoutconcentrating theurine
– Improvedspecificityasmass of lightchains consistentwithserum
• Eliminationof SPEP Dec 2023
Literature Update
• Several New Papers using a targetedCDR M-proteinpeptides for MRD
–
–
“EasyM”test from Universityof WashingtoninSt. Louis
Sebia/Erasmus UniversityMRD
• Detectionin Non-Secretory MM (Giles et al Blood)
• Low-Cost Method using MALDi-TOF (Mehra et al)
Commercialization Update
• Europe planned for August 2023
• USAplanned for Q1 2024
Why Mass Spec could be routine in most labs
• Lab workflow/through put is significantly increased
–
Mayo has tripled the number of results per lab tech for IFE
– This will increase again on replacement of SPEP
• Current cost for U.S. Medicare patients is only 25% of a serum
rFLC determination
• Detection of other new entities and diseases
–
IgG4 RD patterns are recognizable by this method
– Replacement for oligoclonal banding for MS
–
M-protein light chain glycosylation
•
Amyloidosis
• Cold AgglutininDisease
Guidelines to use MRD in clinical practice
