Who develops myeloma

1 in 125

over a lifetime

https://www.cancer.org/cancer/multiple-myeloma/about/key-statistics.html

1.8%

of all new cancer cases in the U.S.

32,110 new cases in the U.S. in 2019


What is the risk of developing multiple myeloma? 01

More than one first degree relative of a myeloma patient

02

Gaucher’s disease

Increased risk of myeloma or lymphoma 30-fold

03

Age

Average age of myeloma patient is 70 y.o.

African-Americans

African Americans are twice as likely to develop myeloma as caucasians, who are twice as likely as pacific islanders

04

● ●

Two first degree relatives >100x the risk One first degree relative is 4x as likely to develop myeloma

14


The meaning of “risk” depends on the context. 😞😞 What the doctor says

What is meant by the word “risk”

“You have high risk monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS), so please come back in 3 months for a blood test.”

Risk means the odds of developing multiple myeloma.

Because of your high risk disease, we will always need to treat you with 3- or even 4drug cocktails.

High risk means less likely to respond to drugs and for a shorter time is more treatment resistant. Low risk is easier to treat and patients on average live longer.

“Your only lytic lesion is in your skull, so your myeloma bone disease is low risk.”

If you only have a few bones known to be affected by myeloma, and they are not weight-bearing, you have a lower risk for fracture. 15


Risk in the setting of multiple myeloma describes how quickly the disease will become resistant to treatment LOW RISK (easier to control) 8-12 year average overall survival

High Risk

(difficult to control) 2-5 year average overall survival

2-5


The meaning of “stage” depends on the context. 😞😞 When a patient with lung, colon, breast, or prostate cancer hears

Then that means

“You have early stage cancer.”

You likely have stage 1 or 2 cancer, it is isolated to a small part of the affected organ, and there is a better than 50% chance of cure.

“Your cancer is metastatic.”

Your cancer is spread throughout your body, and curative surgery is not an option. We found this cancer late in its course after it spread. Your survival is shorter than if we had found this cancer significantly earlier.

In most cancers, stage is a synonym for control.


The meaning of “stage” depends on the context. 😞😞 When I say ‘stage’ to a myeloma patient

What does that mean

“We expect you to have easier to treat myeloma”

You have stage 1 myeloma

“Just like 60% of my myeloma patients, I don’t know whether you have easier or harder to treat myeloma.”

You have stage 2 myeloma

“We expect you to have harder to treat myeloma.”

You have stage 3 myeloma.

In myeloma, stage is a synonym for risk.


How are ‘stage’ and ‘risk’ different than ‘control’? IN CONTROL No New Cells

Kidney output, bone marrow health, and bone disease as good as it’s going to get

OUT OF CONTROL Some New Cells

More New Cells

Kidneys may worsen and hemoglobin may drop. New holes in the bones are unlikely to develop. Calcium is may slowly rise

Many New Cells

Expect new fractures, anemia, and kidney failure

And control is usually measured by monoclonal protein and light chains


Can we enumerate ‘control’? Yes! Numbers rule. Patient is asymptomatic IgG or IgA or Kappa or lambda light chains or SPEP (aka M-spike)

WHAT IS A BISPECIFIC ANTIBODY? A bispecific antibody is a drug that has been designed to simultaneously target two different proteins, often on two different cells. Bispecific T-cell Engager (BiTe)

Bispecific Killer Engager (BiKE) Trispecific Killer Engager (TriKE)

• BiTEs are fusion proteins consisting of two single-chain variable fragments (scFvs) of different antibodies • One of the scFvs binds to T cells via the CD3 receptor, and the other to a tumor cell via a tumor specific molecule, leading the T-cell to secrete cellular poisons that kill the tumor cell. BiTE is a registered trademark of Amgen, so other companies avoid using the word and say bispecifics WINSHIP CANCER INSTITUTE OF EMORY UNIVERSITY

NCI Designated Comprehensive Cancer Center

37


WHAT IS AN ANTIBODY DRUG CONJUGATE (ADC)? ADCs are targeting antibodies (green) linked to a poison (yellow balls in the figure to the right) that bind to tumor cells and are internalized. Once inside, the linker is cleaved, and the poison is released inside the cancer cell.

Some commonly used players Proteosome inhibitor • Kyprolis (carfilzomib) • Ninlaro (ixazomib) • Return to Velcade (bortezomib)

IMiD

Antibodies

• Pomalyst (pomalidoide) • Revlamid (lenalidomide) – if not used already

• Darzalex (daratumumab) – if not used already • Sarclisa (isatuximab) • Empliciti (elotuzumab)

• And probably some dexamethasone. • It’s like parsley.


Beyond the treatment itself… Proteasome Inhibitors

Monoclonal Antibodies

IMiDs

HDAC Inhibitors

• Peripheral neuropathy occurs less often when subcutaneous or once-weekly dosing is used for Velcade • Other peripheral neuropathy prevention: − Vitamins and other supplements* − Certain medications such as gabapentin, pregabalin, duloxetine, opioids (methadone) − Acupuncture − Physical therapy − Shingles-prevention pills − Blood thinners

• Blood thinners • L-glutamine for cramps • GI toxicity: avoid dairy; fibers (Metamucil); Imodium; colestipol; cholestyramine; dose reduction • Sleep hygiene, regular exercise, dose reduction for fatigue

• Pre- and post-medication for infusion reactions • Antibiotic prophylaxis (levoflox or septra) for some

• Anti-diarrheal medication • Baseline EKG prior to starting medication

Two approved – more to come! Common Observations of CAR T-Cell Therapy Studies

All patients were very heavily pretreated, with some having received on average at least 6 prior therapies. Many patients on the trials were considered tripleclass refractory.

All have similar side effects, causing cytokine release syndrome (CRS), neurotoxicity, and low blood counts, but all at varying degrees.

Most patients respond very well to treatment, but also to varying degrees.

THE BRIGHT

&

DARK SIDE TO STEROIDS

Steroid Synergy Steroids are a backbone and work in combination to enhance myeloma therapy

Steroid Side Effects • Irritability, mood swings, depression • Difficulty sleeping

(insomnia), fatigue

Managing Steroid Side Effects • Consistent schedule (AM vs. PM) • Take with food • Stomach discomfort: Over-the-counter or

prescription medications • Medications to prevent shingles, thrush, or other infections

Do not stop or adjust steroid doses without discussing it with your health care provider

• Increased risk of

infections, heart disease • Muscle

weakness, cramping

• Increase in blood

pressure, water retention

• Blurred vision, cataracts • Flushing/sweating • Stomach bloating,

hiccups, heartburn, ulcers, or gas

• Weight gain, hair

thinning/loss, skin rashes

• Increase in blood

sugar levels, diabetes

Physical

Psychological

• Fatigue

• Depression

• Constipation

• Anxiety

• Pain

• Sleep Disturbance

• Neuropathy

• Decreased Cognitive Function

• Impaired Physical Functioning • Sexual Dysfunction

98


PAIN: PREVENTION AND MANAGEMENT

Physical

Pain can significantly compromise quality of life Sources of pain include bone disease, neuropathy and medical procedures Management • Prevent pain when possible • Bone strengtheners to decrease fracture risk; anti viral to prevent shingles; sedation before procedures

• Interventions depends on source of pain • May include medications, physical therapy, surgical intervention, radiation therapy, etc

• Complementary therapies • Mind-body, meditation, yoga, supplements, acupuncture, activity, etc

Faiman B, et al. CJON. 2017;21(5)suppl:19-36. Miceli, T. et al. (2021). Cancer Treatment and Res Com, 100476.

Tell your health care provider about any new bone pain or chronic pain that is not adequately controlled

99


PERIPHERAL NEUROPATHY MANAGEMENT Peripheral neuropathy: damage to nerves in extremities (hands, feet, or limbs) • • • • • •

Numbness Tingling Prickling sensations Sensitivity to touch Burning and/or cold sensation Muscle weakness

Physical

Prevention / Management: • Bortezomib once-weekly or subcutaneous administration • Massage area with cocoa butter regularly • Supplements:

• B-complex vitamins (B1, B6, B12) • Folic acid, and/or amino acids but do not take on day of Velcade® (bortezomib) infusion

• Safe environment: rugs, furnishings, shoes

If PN worsens, your HCP may: Report symptoms of peripheral neuropathy early to your health care provider; nerve damage from PN can be permanent if unaddressed

• Change your treatment • Prescribe oral or topical pain medication • Suggest physical therapy

Physical symptoms impact mental well being. All can affect quality of life and relationships.

FATIGUE, ANXIETY & DEPRESSION

• Fatigue is the most common reported symptom (98.8%) Sources include anemia, pain, reduced activity, insomnia, treatment toxicity, bone marrow suppression

Physical Psychological

• Anxiety reported in >35% • Depression nearly 25% Financial concerns, disease progression, end-of-life, and change in social and sexual function were highlighted sources

Often, people do not share these symptoms with their provider. Talk to your provider about symptoms that are not well controlled or thoughts of self harm. Help is available. Ramsenthaler, et al. 2016. https://doi.org/10.1111/ejh.12790. Catamero D et al. CJON. 2017; 21(5)suppl:7-18.
