As recommended by your health care team
COVID: The Best Way to Prevent Illness Is to Avoid Being
Exposed
to the Virus
Spread mainly through respiratory droplets that are produced by cough, sneezing and talking. More droplets with louder talking, yelling, singing
Get COVID Vaccine + Booster: Excellent protection against severe disease, but vaccine effectiveness may be lower in people with compromised immune systems
Wear a High-quality Mask: Respiratory droplets can spread disease; a high-quality mask can prevent exposure to airborne viral particles
Avoid Crowds & Sick People
Physical Distance & Outdoors: Close contact and indoor locations increases risk of spread
Wash Your Hands: Less common to get from a hard surface

• Report fever of more than 100.4°F, shaking chills even without fever, dizziness, shortness of breath, low blood pressure to HCP as directed.
• Compromised immune function comes from multiple myeloma and from treatment.
• Infection is serious for myeloma patients!

Minimal Residual Disease (MRD) Testing
• MRD is emerging as an important marker of lasting clinical benefit
• MRD can be tested: Using flowcytometry. Sensitive at 10-5 and can be done anytime on bone marrow samples and does not require knowing what the patient myeloma sequences were at diagnosis
− Using next generation sequences Sensitive at 10-6 but require knowing what the patient myeloma sequences were at diagnosis.
MRD Strongly Predicts outcomes

• Combination therapy continues to prove superiority in providing long remission and long survival.
• The patient is at good place as options are becoming more prevalent.
• Lenalidomide, bortezomib and dexamethasone continues to be an effective regimen.

MAIA is a multicentre, randomised, open-label, active-controlled, phase 3 study of D-Rd versus Rd alone in patients with NDMM who are transplant ineligible
TIE, transplant-ineligible; ECOG PS, Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status; CrCl, creatinine clearance; IV, intravenous; QW, once weekly; Q2W, once every 2 weeks; Q4W, once every 4 weeks; PD, progressive disease; PO, oral; ORR, overall response rate; CR, complete response; sCR, stringent complete response; MRD, minimal residual disease; NGS, next-generation sequencing; BMI, body mass index.
aOn days when DARA is administered, dexamethasone will be administered to patients in the D-Rd arm and will serve as the treatment dose of steroid for that day, as well as the required pre-infusion medication. bFor patients >75 years of age or with BMI <18.5 kg/m2, dexamethasone was administered at a dose of 20 mg QW.
Treatment Exposure and Patient Disposition

Median duration of follow-up, 56.2 months
42% of patients in the D-Rd arm and 18% of patients in the Rd arm remained on treatment; more patients discontinued Rd for AEs
Overall Response Rate
• D-Rd induced deeper responses with significantly higher rates of ≥CR and ≥VGPR, compared with Rd
• With >28 months of additional follow-up, responses deepened with continued DARA therapy

• D-Rd continued to demonstrate a significant PFS benefit, with median PFS not reached with DRd
• These data provide a new PFS benchmark in patients with NDMM who are transplant ineligible
Overall Survival
D-Rd demonstrated a significant benefit in OS, with a 32% reduction in the risk of death, in patients with NDMM who are transplant ineligible
![](https://assets.isu.pub/document-structure/230517214322-772530c85722ce48206c59f6f1cb23c1/v1/f4ad1856dae9fb56d37f9b98ce77ecb0.jpeg)
Subsequent Therapy
‒ Median time to next treatment was not reached with D-Rd versus 42.4 months with Rd (HR, 0.47; 95% CI, 0.37-0.59; P <0.0001)
‒ 114 patients in the D-Rd arm and 186 patients in the Rd arm received subsequent therapy; of these:
![](https://assets.isu.pub/document-structure/230517214322-772530c85722ce48206c59f6f1cb23c1/v1/f4ad1856dae9fb56d37f9b98ce77ecb0.jpeg)
• A PI-containing regimen without an IMiD was the most common first subsequent therapy
(53% vs 54% with D-Rd and Rd, respectively)
• 15% of patients in the D-Rd arm and 46% of patients in the Rd arm received daratumumab as any subsequent therapy
Conclusions
‒ After almost 5 years of follow-up, a significant OS benefit of D-Rd versus Rd given to progression was demonstrated in patients with transplant-ineligible NDMM
• The estimated 5-year OS rate was 66.3% with D-Rd and 53.1% with Rd
‒ The significant PFS benefit of D-Rd versus Rd was maintained, with a 47% reduction in risk of disease progression or death (median PFS for D-Rd, not reached)
• The estimated 5-year PFS rate was 52.5% with D-Rd and 28.7% with Rd
‒ These PFS and OS results have been achieved in a study population with 44% of patients aged 75 to 90 years
‒ No new safety concerns were identified with continuous therapy and longer follow-up
These results strongly support upfront D-Rd as a new standard of care for patients with transplant-ineligible NDMM

GRIFFIN: Time to MRD Negativity
• Median time to MRD negativity (10–5) was 8.5 months for D-RVd and 34.6 months for RVd
– At the 10–6 threshold, time to MRD negativity was 33.9 months for D-RVd and not reached for RVd
• Median time to MRD negativity was shorter for D-RVd versus RVdb

GRIFFIN: PFS in the ITT Population
• Median follow-up: 38.6 months
• Median PFS was not reached in either group
• There is a positive trend toward improved PFS for D-RVd/DR versus RVd/R
• The separation of the PFS curves begins beyond 1 year of maintenance and suggests a benefit of prolonged DR therapy

Conclusions
• NGS-MRD response-adapted therapy is feasible in ~96% of patients in multi center setting – 72% reaching MRD-SURE.
• Patients with standard and high-risk NDMM have similar depth of response and low risk of MRD resurgence or progression when treated with Dara-KRd/AHCT and MRDadapted treatment cessation.
• Quadruplet therapy and achievement of confirmed MRD (-) responses enables the exploration of treatment cessation and “MRD-SURE” as alternative to continuous therapy.
Effective novel consolidative strategies should be explored to clear MRD and improve outcomes in patients with ultra-high-risk MM

Upfront Therapy Status..Evolving
• Adding a CD38 antibody to VRD or KRD is feasible with limited incremental toxicity
• Depth of response is improved, including MRD negativity
• MRD will be an even more important measure going forward
• There is a trend to improved PFS
• This may overcome the high-risk feature of some patients
• Ultra high-risk disease remains challenging to treat with current strategies
• What about transplant?? It is still part of most upfront studies.
