Patient Case A 51-year-old asymptomatic woman was found to have an IgAk paraprotein during a routine exam ‒ Her M-protein component was 1.2 g/dL ‒ Free light chain ratio, renal function, hemoglobin, and calcium levels were normal
A diagnosis of MGUS was established and follow-up every 6 months was recommended She remained stable for 3 years, at which time she consulted with a myeloma expert ‒ Her current M-protein: 2.3 g/dL; FLC ratio: 35; BJ proteinuria: 500 mg/24h ‒ Bone marrow biopsy: 32% plasma cells (97% clonal), with t(4;14) ‒ CT was negative, but MRI showed 1 focal lesion
A diagnosis of SMM was established
Presurvey 1: In your current clinical practice, what would you recommend for this 51-year-old patient? 1. Continue observation and 6-mo follow-up until diagnosis of active myeloma 2. Begin treatment with a lenalidomide-based regimen 3. Begin treatment with triplet induction followed by ASCT 4. Uncertain

High Risk SMM: Factors Identifying 50% Risk of Progression at 2 Years Evolving SMM: For the MC: Increase by > 25% in 2 consecutive measurements within 6 mo For Hb: decrease of ≥ 0.5 g/dL Hb within 12m of diagnosis.. For Risk scoring * BJ proteinuria ( if > 500 mg/24h the TTP is 13m) Circulating PC >0,02% High-risk Cytogenetics: t(4;14), del(17p), 1q, MYC structural variants and MYC-IG translocations Genomic Profiling (score > 0.26). DNA Repair, MYC, MAP Kinase mutations** MRI: New focal lesion or increase of an existing FL or progressive diffuse infiltration PET/CT: Positive PET without lysis * Vsram et al (BCJ 2021) patients evolving to a high-risk score may benefit from early intervention therapeutic approaches. * * Annand et al (ASH 2021 Abst 723) Genomic subtypes in SMM
Circulating tumor cells predict risk of progression in SMM patients > 78% of SMM patients had CTC > Untreated SMM patients with high CTC levels (≥0.02%) showed ultrahigh risk of transformation (11 months) vs those with <0.02% CTCs and undetectable CTCs > CTCs were selected as an independent prognostic factor for TTP, together with the M-protein and sFLC ratio (the % of BM tumor cells was not significant)
> Additional Messages: Evaluation of CTCs in PB outperformed quantification of BM tumor burden in SMM and the 2/20/20 model can be replaced by the 2/20/0.02% model. Allows frequent monitoring ( evolving pattern) > Thus, CTC assessment should be part of the diagnostic workup of SMM
JJ Garcés ASH 2021 Abstr 76 TTP, time-to-progression; sFLC, serum free-light chain ratio
Rationale for Early Intervention in High-Risk SMM To treat the disease early: to achieve cure
Early detection and intervention is a pre-requisite for cure in most malignancies
Why is the standard of care in MM no treatment until CRAB? Risk of harm: clonal selection, toxicities. Numerous clinical trials in SMM (~ 75 in clinicaltrials.gov )

Now, let’s go back to our case
Patient Case, Recap A 51-year-old asymptomatic woman was found to have an IgAk paraprotein during a routine exam ‒ Her M-protein component was 1.2 g/dL ‒ Free light chain ratio, renal function, hemoglobin, and calcium levels were normal
A diagnosis of MGUS was established and follow-up every 6 months was recommended She remained stable for 3 years, at which time she consulted with a myeloma expert ‒ Her current M-protein: 2.3 g/dL; FLC ratio: 35; BJ proteinuria: 500 mg/24h ‒ Bone marrow biopsy: 32% plasma cells (97% clonal), with t(4;14) ‒ CT was negative, but MRI showed 1 focal lesion
A diagnosis of SMM was established
Assessment 1: Now, what would you recommend for this 51-yearold patient? 1. Continue observation and 6-mo follow-up until diagnosis of active myeloma 2. Begin treatment with a lenalidomide-based regimen 3. Begin treatment with triplet induction followed by ASCT 4. Uncertain
Poll 5: Which of the following patients is higher risk? Case A: A 51-year-old asymptomatic woman with an M-protein of 2.3 g/dL; FLC ratio of 25; BJ proteinuria of 500 mg/24h; and normal renal function, hemoglobin levels and calcium levels. BM biopsy: 28% plasma cells (97% clonal), with t(4;14). CT was negative, but MRI showed 1 focal lesion. Case B: A 51-year-old asymptomatic woman with an M-protein of 2 g/dL; FLC ratio of 25; and normal renal function, hemoglobin levels and calcium levels. BM biopsy: deletion 13q. Imaging shows lytic lesions in the skull and 1 in the clavicle.

Medical Director, AMyC Co-Chair Myeloma Committee, SWOG Chairman, International Myeloma Foundation Specialist in Multiple Myeloma and Related Disorders Cedars-Sinai Outpatient Cancer Center Los Angeles, California Brian G.M. Durie, MD, has disclosed that he has received consulting fees from Amgen, Celgene/Bristol-Myers Squibb, Janssen, and Takeda and fees from nonCME/CE services from Amgen.
Patient Case Example 67-year-old female originally presented with standard risk IgG kappa MM ‒ B2M 3.4, Alb 3.9, LDH nl, Cr 1.3, Ca 9.7, FISH: +5, +9, +17, del13q, m-prot 3.4, KLC 130 mg/L, LLC 6 mg/L
She has received 4 prior lines of therapy ‒ LINE1: Rd for 1 yr response VGPR then R maintenance for 24 mths (PFS: 36m; PD on R) ‒ LINE2: VCd for 18 months achieves VGPR then progresses (refract to PI/IMiD) ‒ LINE3: Dara-Pd for 9 months achieves PR then progresses (refract to PI/IMiD/CD38) ‒ LINE4: Carfilzomib + dex for 6 cycles achieves PR then PD (3 prior lines: refractory to R/P/K/Dara)
The disease has now progressed and she does not look or feel well ‒ WBC 3, ANC 1.5, Hgb 8, plat 65, m-protein 0.5 gm/dL, KLC 2500 mg/L, Cr 1.8, LDH >ULN ‒ PET scan shows multiple osseous lesions and 1 new 4x4 cm hepatic lesion in R lobe
Presurvey 5: In your current clinical practice, considering the limitations of BCMA-based therapy, what would be your next choice? 1. Selinexor and dexamethasone 2. Selinexor and a PI (bortezomib or carfilzomib) + dexamethasone 3. Cyclophosphamide-based intensive chemotherapy 4. VD-PACE 5. Venetoclax-based therapy (off-label) 6.

Patient Selection Selinexor-based therapy ‒ FDA-approved dosing and schedule of selinexor/dex should only be used in fit patients with robust counts who can return frequently for follow-up and aggressive supportive care ‒ Triplet combinations using weekly selinexor dosing strategies are active and better tolerated Venetoclax-based therapy ‒ All t(11;14)+ patients ‒ Venetoclax-based triplets with dex + dara or a PI are highly promising Note: melphalan flufenamide indication was withdrawn for R/R MM, based on data from the phase III OCEAN trial – abstracts will be presented at ASH 2021 (Abs 2741 and 2732 on Sunday from 6-8 PM)
More to come on BCMA targeted agents!
Conclusions Treatment options are available for patients with heavily pretreated, triple-refractory disease Of the available on label options, considerations including quality of life, prior toxicity and convenience must be discussed with all patients For the small molecule inhibitors selinexor and venetoclax, the best path forward is with combination strategies ‒ Off-label venetoclax-based therapy should be restricted to t(11;14)+ disease
Optimal sequencing of these therapies and issues of sequencing of these with BCMA therapies warrants additional investigation Results of clinical trials evaluating these promising agents in earlier lines of therapy are eagerly anticipated
Now, let’s go back to our case
Patient Case, Recap 67-year-old female originally presented with standard risk IgG kappa MM ‒ B2M 3.4, Alb 3.9, LDH nl, Cr 1.3, Ca 9.7, FISH: +5, +9, +17, del13q, m-prot 3.4, KLC 130 mg/L, LLC 6 mg/L
She has received 4 prior lines of therapy ‒ LINE1: Rd for 1 yr response VGPR then R maintenance for 24 mths (PFS: 36m; PD on R) ‒ LINE2: VCd for 18 months achieves VGPR then progresses (refract to PI/IMiD) ‒ LINE3: Dara-Pd for 9 months achieves PR then progresses (refract to PI/IMiD/CD38) ‒ LINE4: Carfilzomib + dex for 6 cycles achieves PR then PD (3 prior lines: refractory to R/P/K/Dara)
The disease has now progressed and she does not look or feel well ‒ WBC 3, ANC 1.5, Hgb 8, plat 65, m-protein 0.5 gm/dL, KLC 2500 mg/L, Cr 1.8, LDH >ULN ‒ PET scan shows multiple osseous lesions and 1 new 4x4 cm hepatic lesion in R lobe
Assessment 5: Now, considering the limitations of BCMA-based therapy, what would be your next choice? 1. Selinexor and dexamethasone 2. Selinexor and a PI (bortezomib or carfilzomib) + dexamethasone 3. Cyclophosphamide-based intensive chemotherapy 4. VD-PACE 5. Venetoclax-based therapy (off-label) 6. Refer to a center that has access to BCMA-directed therapies 7. Hospice 8. Uncertain

Case Discussion 6: Evolving Role for BCMA-Targeted Therapies for MM
Faculty Thomas G. Martin, MD
Clinical Professor of Medicine Associate Director, Myeloma Program University of California, San Francisco Medical Center San Francisco, California Thomas G. Martin, MD, has disclosed that he has received consulting fees from GlaxoSmithKline and Oncopeptides and funds for research support from Amgen, Janssen, Sanofi, and Seattle Genetics.
Patient Case Example 77-year-old male presented with standard risk IgG kappa MM ‒ B2M 3.2, Alb 3.8, LDH 150, Cr 1.0, Ca 8.7, FISH: +5, +9, +15, 1q gain
He has received 4 prior lines of therapy ‒ LINE1: RVd for 8 cycles response VGPR ‒ LINE1: R maintenance for 36 months (PFS: 43m; then progresses on maintenance – refractory to R 10 mg QD) ‒ LINE2: DaraPd for 18 months achieves VGPR then progresses (refractory to D/P) ‒ LINE3: Carfilzomib + dex for 6 cycles achieves PR then PD (3 prior lines: refractory to R/P/K/Dara) ‒ LINE4: Oral cyclophosphamide + Pd has stable disease for 4 months then PD
Patient Case Example He now presents with fatigue and low back pain ‒ M-protein 2.5 g/dL, KLC 150 mg/L, LLC 3 mg/L, LDH normal, Hgb 9, plat 120, Ca 10.1, alb 3.2
You are considering therapy, but options for triple-class drug refractory (IMiD, PI, CD38) are limited…..
Presurvey 6: In your current practice, what would you recommend next for this patient? 1. “Re-cycling” of agents: triplet combination with previously used agents 2. PI + Selinexor + dexamethasone 3. Belantamab mafodotin 4. BCMA-targeted CAR T-cell (age is not a factor with CAR T-cells) 5. BCMA-targeted bispecific antibody (on-trial) 6. Cyclophosphamide-based combination chemotherapy 7. Other novel clinical trial if available 8. Uncertain

DREAMM-2 Study Design A phase II, open-label, randomized 2-dose study in RR MM after an anti-CD38 therapy. Primary analysis of DREAMM-2 completed at median follow-up of 6.3 and 6.9 months for the 2.5 mg/kg and 3.4 mg/kg cohorts, respectively. Additional analysis was completed at 13 months of follow-up. *Patients stratified based on number of previous lines of therapy (≤4 vs >4) and presence or absence of high-risk cytogenetic features; **According to International Myeloma Working Group 2016 criteria.
POPULATION •Measurable disease •ECOG PS 0-2 •3 or more prior lines of antimyeloma therapy •Refractory to a PI and an IMiD and progression on an anti-CD38 antibody •Prior anti-BCMA therapy excluded •Prior auto-SCT allowed; allo-SCT excluded

• Bispecifics will eventually command the largest fraction of the market • Expect approval in 3rd/4th Quarter 2022 (Teclistamab likely first approved)
Sequencing of BCMA Targeted Therapeutics • In 2022 and beyond CARs and bispecific mAbs may be available • What is best sequence? • • For FIT: BCMA CAR first then BCMA – ADC or bispecific on relapse • For FIT: BCMA CAR first then Other target immunotherapy at relapse (bispecific or ADC) • Less fit BCMA bispecific or ADC then Other target (if available) immunotherapy at relapse
Global IMF Immunotherapy Database Project to help decipher sequencing questions!!
Conclusions: Next Generation Therapeutics • Triple Class Refractory is an UNMET Need • Belantamab mafodotin: BCMA-ADC approved in this population • BCMA directed CAR T-cell therapeutics approved, soon to be universally available • Bispecific antibody results best off-the-shelf single agent therapy to date • Toxicity is manageable • Can target multiple cell surface proteins BCMA, GPRC5D, FCRH5,……
• Need better understanding mechanisms of resistance • T cell exhaustion, microenvironment characteristics (regulatory T cells) • Loss of antigen/16p deletion
• Trials of combinations of novel-novel drugs on-going • Sequencing of these therapeutics will be important and future sequencing studies will be important [IMF Immunotherapy Database Project]
Now, let’s go back to our case
Patient Case Example 77-year-old male presented with standard risk IgG kappa MM ‒ B2M 3.2, Alb 3.8, LDH 150, Cr 1.0, Ca 8.7, FISH: +5, +9, +15, 1q gain
He has received 4 prior lines of therapy ‒ LINE1: RVd for 8 cycles response VGPR ‒ LINE1: R maintenance for 36 months (PFS: 43m; then progresses on maintenance – refractory to R 10 mg QD) ‒ LINE2: DaraPd for 18 months achieves VGPR then progresses (refractory to D/P) ‒ LINE3: Carfilzomib + dex for 6 cycles achieves PR then PD (3 prior lines: refractory to R/P/K/Dara) ‒ LINE4: Oral cyclophosphamide + Pd has stable disease for 4 months then PD
Patient Case Example He now presents with fatigue and low back pain ‒ M-protein 2.5 g/dL, KLC 150 mg/L, LLC 3 mg/L, LDH normal, Hgb 9, plat 120, Ca 10.1, alb 3.2
You are considering therapy but options for triple-class drug refractory (IMiD, PI, CD38) are limited…..
Assessment 6: Now, what would you recommend next for this patient? 1. “Re-cycling” of agents: triplet combination with previously used agents 2. PI + Selinexor + dexamethasone 3. Belantamab mafodotin 4. BCMA-targeted CAR T-cell (age is not a factor with CAR T-cells) 5. BCMA-targeted bispecific antibody (on-trial) 6. Cyclophosphamide-based combination chemotherapy 7. Other novel clinical trial if available 8. Uncertain
