PROMISE Study Promisestudy.org
MM Causes and Risk Factors Cause of change in plasma cell development is unknown Chronic inflammation and environmental exposures may play a role
Risk increases with age Men 60%, Women 40% African Americans have double the risk of developing MM
Etiology: Risk Factors for MM
•Chronic exposure to low-dose ionizing radiation (? Radon) •Occupational exposure (e.g. chemical) •Genetic factors-increase MGUS risk in families •Chronic antigenic stimulation (eg, recurrent infections and drug allergies) •Agent orange, 9/11 exposure •Ultimately, we do not know why patients develop MM
Epidemiology of Myeloma • Incidence
• 2022 cases: 34, 470 • 1.8% of cancer cases • 7.1 per 100,2000 per yr
• Mortality

Know the Diagnosis
Key Items That Define the Diagnosis MGUS
Smoldering Myeloma
• M protein <3 g/dL • Clonal plasma cells in BM <10% • No myeloma-defining events
• M protein ≥3 g/dL (serum) or ≥500 mg/ 24 hrs (urine) • Clonal plasma cells in BM ≥10%–60% • No myeloma-defining events
1% risk of progression/year to multiple myeloma or related conditions
10% risk of progression/year to active myeloma
*C: Calcium elevation (>11 mg/dL or >1 mg/dL higher than ULN) R: Renal insufficiency (creatinine clearance <40 mL/min or serum creatinine >2 mg/dL) A: Anemia (Hb <10 g/dL or 2 g/dL < normal) B: Bone disease (≥1 lytic lesions on skeletal radiography, CT, or PET-CT) Rajkumar SV et al. Lancet Oncol. 2014;15:e538.
Multiple Myeloma • Underlying plasma cell proliferative disorder • AND ≥1 myeloma-defining events • ≥1 CRAB* feature • Clonal plasma cells in BM ≥60% • Serum free light chain ratio ≥100 • >1 MRI focal lesion
Key Steps to Take on Your Journey Laboratory tests and diagnosis Staging and prognosis Obtain a second opinion Treatment The promise of precision medicine
Diagnostic Workup Lab tests: • Serum protein electrophoresis (SPEP) • Urine protein electrophoresis (UPEP) • Complete metabolic panel • CBC + differential • Plasma ratio of free kappa/lamba light chains • Monoclonal protein analysis • Bone marrow biopsy:
Genetic changes occur
• FISH, cytogenetics
Imaging: • Skeletal survey • MRI, CT • PET scan ± MRI, CT Ghobrial IM, et al. Blood. 2014;124:3380-3388. Rajkumar SV, et al. Lancet Oncol. 2014;15:e538-3548. Faiman B. Clin Lymphoma Myeloma Leuk. 2014;14:436-440.
Diagnosing Myeloma: Learn Your Labs! Blood tests
CBC
• Number of red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets
CMP
IFE SFLC
• Measure levels of albumin, calcium, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), blood urea nitrogen (BUN), and creatinine. Assess function of kidney, liver, and bone status and the extent of disease.
B2M
• Determine the level of a protein that indicates the presence/extent of MM and kidney function
SPEP
• Detect the presence and level of M protein
• Identify the type of abnormal antibody proteins
• Freelite® test measures light chains (kappa or lambda)
CBC, complete blood count; CMP, complete metabolic panel; B2M; beta-2 microglobulin; SPEP, serum protein electrophoresis; IFE, immunofixation electrophoresis; SFLC, serum free light chain assay
Diagnosing Myeloma: Learn Your Labs! Urine tests
UPEP
24-hr Urine Analysis
UPEP, urine protein electrophoresis
• Detect Bence Jones proteins (otherwise known as myeloma light chains)
• Determine the presence and levels of M protein and Bence Jones protein
Monoclonal Protein—M Spike Normal SPEP
Abnormal SPEP
• Amount/type of M protein varies among patients (IgG, IgA 80% of cases) • Abnormal M protein (immunoglobulin [Ig]) loses immune function and adheres and binds to tissues

Types of Monoclonal Protein (M Protein) in Multiple Myeloma
Intact immunoglobulin • For example: • IgG+kappa • IgG+lambda • IgA+kappa • IgA+lambda • etc… • 80% of myeloma cases
Light chain only • Also known as Bence Jones protein • 20% of all myeloma cases • Renal failure more common in light chain multiple myeloma; creatinine >2 mg/dL in 1/3 of cases
Non-secretory • No monoclonal protein present • 3% of cases of multiple myeloma
Diagnosing Myeloma: Know Your Imaging Tests! X-ray
Assess changes in the bone structure and determine the number and size of tumors in the bone
Conventional x-rays reveal punched-out lytic lesions, osteoporosis, or fractures in 75% of patients.
MRI
CT scan
PET scan
MRI and PET/CT appear to be more sensitive (85%) than skeletal x-rays for the detection of small lytic bone lesions.
Current Role For Imaging in MM Diagnosis Monitoring Detection of lytic lesions Detection of focal lesions
Skeletal XRay
Low-dose Whole Body CT
Detection of extraosseous lesions
Whole Body MRI
High sensitivity; detects early bone damage; focal and diffuse lesions can be prognostic
Advantages
Low cost; widely available
Higher sensitivity; short imaging time
Disadvantages
Lower sensitivity
Limited use for diffuse Higher cost; longer or non-lytic lesions; imaging time; limited some limited availability availability
Use
Not recommended
Recommended for routine clinical practice

Drug Therapies in Multiple Myeloma Steroids – – – –
Dexamethasone, Medrol, Prednisone May be the most important drug to treat multiple myeloma Kills multiple myeloma cells Side effects: • Weight gain, mood swings, irritability, fluid retention, skin thinning, cataracts, insomnia, muscle loss, raise blood sugars, hiccups
–
Usually given as a pulse of treatment • Dexamethasone 40 mg every week • Prednisone 100 mg for five days in a row
–
Dose needs to be adjusted for each patient
Drug Therapies in Multiple Myeloma IMID’s –
Thalidomide (Thalomid)
• SE: Sleepiness, numbness in feet, constipation –
Lenalidomide (Revlimid)
• SE: Low blood counts, diarrhea, rash, muscle cramps –
Pomalidomide (Pomalyst)
• SE: Low blood counts, fatigue, rash –
All can increase risk for blood clots and cause birth defects if pregnant woman exposed to them
Drug Therapies in Multiple Myeloma Proteasome Inhibitors –
Bortezomib (Velcade)
• Subcutaneous (shot in abdomen) –
Carfilzomib (Kyprolis)
• Intraveneous –
Ixazomib (Ninlaro)
• Pill given weekly
Work by blocking protein breakdown in the cell –
Plasma cells make protein as their main function
Daratumumab (Key takeaways) Antibody to CD38 – –
CD38 found seemingly universally on myeloma cells Humanized IgG Kappa antibody • Will be detectable on SPEP, SIEP – 0.1 – 0.2 g/dL protein spike often noted
Single agent activity often combined with other agents Safety – –
50% infusion reaction on 1st infusion No other usual side effects • ? Pancytopenia (mild), increased risk for infection
Infusion time eventually 90 minutes – now a shot My experience – – –
Well tolerated and easy to combine with other active drugs Shot version (Faspro) particularly well tolerated and without side effects Premedications can be stopped after a while

Summary of Frontline MM Treatment Approach Treatment Suggestions
Goal is to maximize initial disease response (sCR, MRD[-]) Backbone agents: steroids, PIs, IMiDs ± anti-CD38 mAbs Quad >/= triplet >>doublet regimens Choosing regimens individual patient and tumor factors, prior exposure
Tips for Transplant Patients Every patient who is a candidate should go to aHCT Age and renal function are not contraindications Limit exposure to myelotoxic agents and consider harvesting cells before prolonged exposure to lenalidomide and/or daratumumab
Maintenance Given proven PFS ± OS benefit, maintenance remains important role Optimal duration varies (cost, toxicity, adherence, MRD status) NCCN. Clinical Practice Guidelines in Oncology. Multiple Myeloma v5.2022.

Sequencing of drugs with different modes of action Triplet regimens are superior to doublet regimens (response rate and PFS, and in some studies also OS) (Dose-adjusted) doublet can be the best option for frail patients Reusing a drug can be considered based on prior response and treatment-free interval

Belantamab Mafodotin Overview Belantamab mafodotin-blmf is a BCMA-directed antibody and microtubule inhibitor conjugate, composed of 3 components1,2
Belantamab mafodotin-blmf is internalized and MMAF is released following proteolytic cleavage from the mAb Anti-BCMA, humanized IgG1 mAb that binds to BCMAexpressing MM cells MMAF, microtubule-disrupting cytotoxic agent that leads to apoptosis of BCMA-expressing MM cells
Protease-resistant, maleimidocaproyl linker that joins the MMAF to the mAb
MMAF intracellularly disrupts the microtubule network leading to cell cycle arrest and apoptosis Belantamab mafodotin-blmf binds to BCMA expressed on normal and malignant plasma cells
Belantamab mafodotin was also shown to induce tumor cell lysis via ADCC and ADCP

PATIENT-REPORTED SYMPTOMS A meta-analysis identified the most common patient-reported symptoms and impact on QOL, and were present at all stages of the disease. Symptoms resulted from both myeloma disease and treatment, including transplant, and were in these categories:
Physical
Psychological
• Fatigue
• Depression
• Constipation
• Anxiety
• Pain
• Sleep Disturbance
• Neuropathy
• Decreased Cognitive Function
• Impaired Physical Functioning • Sexual Dysfunction
Ramsenthaler, et al. 2016. https://doi.org/10.1111/ejh.12790.
Financial • Financial burden (80%) • Financial toxicity (43%)
• Decreased Role & Social Function
121
GI SYMPTOMS: PREVENTION & MANAGEMENT Diarrhea may be caused by medications and supplements • • • •
Laxatives, antacids with magnesium Antibiotics, antidepressants, others Milk thistle, aloe, cayenne, saw palmetto, ginseng Sugar substitutes in sugar free gum
Avoid caffeinated, carbonated, or heavily sugared beverages Take anti-diarrheal medication • Imodium®, Lomotil®, or Colestid if recommended • Fiber binding agents – Metamucil®, Citrucel®, Benefiber® • Welchol® if recommended
Smith LC, et al. CJON.2008;12(3)suppl:37-52. Faiman B. CJON. 2016;20(4):E100-E105.
Physical
Constipation may be caused by • Opioid pain relievers, antidepressants, heart or blood pressure medications, others • Supplements: Calcium, Iron, vitamin D (rarely), vitamin B-12 deficiency
Increase fiber • Fruits, vegetables, high fiber whole grain foods • Fiber binding agents – Metamucil®, Citrucel®, Benefiber®
Fluid intake can help with both diarrhea and constipation, and good for kidneys. Discuss GI issues with health care providers to identify causes and make adjustments to medications and supplements. 122
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, activity, surgical intervention, radiation therapy, etc • Complementary therapies (Mind-body, medication, yoga, supplements, acupuncture, etc)
Faiman B, et al. CJON. 2017;21(5)suppl:19-36.
Tell your health care provider about any new bone pain or chronic pain that is not adequately controlled
123
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
Report symptoms of peripheral neuropathy early to your health care provider; nerve damage from PN can be permanent if unaddressed
Faiman B, et al. CJON. 2017;21(5)suppl:19-36. Tariman, et al. CJON.2008;12(3)suppl:29-36.
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: • Change your treatment • Prescribe oral or topical pain medication • Suggest physical therapy
124
FATIGUE, ANXIETY & DEPRESSION
Physical Psychological
All can affect quality of life and relationships
• Fatigue is the most common reported symptom (98.8%) Sources include anemia, pain, reduced activity, insomnia, treatment toxicity, bone marrow suppression
• 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.

INFECTION PREVENTION AND COVID-19 IN PEOPLE WITH MULTIPLE MYELOMA
Patient Education Slides 2021
IMPORTANT WAYS TO SLOW THE SPREAD OF COVID-19 • Get a COVID-19 vaccine (and booster) as soon as you can • Wear a mask (N95 is most protective) that covers your nose and mouth • Stay 6 feet apart from others who don’t live with you • Avoid crowds and poorly ventilated indoor spaces • Test to prevent spread to others • Wash your hands often with soap and water. Use hand sanitizer if soap and water aren’t available
CDC = Centers for Disease Control; FDA = Food and Drug Administration. CDC website. Understanding Variants. Accessed January 30, 2022. https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/variants/understanding-variants.html
PREVENTION: AVOID BEING EXPOSED TO THE COVID VIRUS Virus spreads from person-to-person through respiratory droplets • Respiratory droplets are from coughs, sneezes, talking of an infected person beginning ~2-14 days post exposure • More droplets with louder talking, yelling, singing • Virus does not live long on surfaces
• Close contact (within 6 feet) and indoors increases risk of spread • Airflow, ventilation matters • ~25X less transmission outdoors vs indoors
• High quality masks provide a physical barrier that prevents airborne viral spread Not infected (Exposed)
• Especially important for people at increased risk • Important in situations where distancing is not possible

Make time to unwind Connect with others. While social distancing measures are in place, consider connecting online, through social media, or by phone or mail
PREPARE FOR VISITS & CONSIDER TELEMEDICINE Come prepared: • Bring a list of current medications, prescribed and • • •
• •
over the counter Write down your questions and concerns. Prioritize them including financial issues Have there been any medical or life changes since your last visit? Current symptoms - how have they changed (improved, worsened, stable)? Keep a symptom diary. Bring it along Communicate effectively: your health care team can’t help if they don’t know Know the “next steps”, future appointments, medication changes, refills, etc
IMF Telemedicine Tip Sheet. In development.
Check with your healthcare team – Is telemedicine an option? Similar planning for “in-person” appointment PLUS: • What is the process and what technology is needed? • Plan your labs: are they needed in advance? Do you need an order? • Plan your location: quiet, well-lit location with strong wi-fi is best • Plan yourself: consider if you may need to show a body part and wear accessible clothing • Collect recent vital signs (blood pressure, temp, heart rate) self-serve blood pressure cuff is available at many pharmacies and for purchase
SHARED DECISION-MAKING Be empowered to be part of the treatment decision-making • Ask for time to consider options (if needed/appropriate) • Understand options; consider priorities • Use reliable sources of information • Use caution considering stories of personal
experiences • Consider your goals/values/preferences
• Express your goals/values/preferences; create a
dialog
• My top priority is [goal/value]; additional [preferences] are also important. • I think [treatment] may be a good choice given my priorities… What do you think?
• Arrive at a treatment decision together

CLINICAL TRIALS: EARLY ACCESS TO PROMISING TREATMENTS Preclinical PHASE 1
PHASE 2
ANIMAL STUDIES FIRST INTRODUCTION OF AN INVESTIGATIONAL DRUG INTO HUMANS
• • •
Determine metabolism and PK/PD actions, MTD, and DLT Identify AEs Gain early evidence of effectiveness, studied in many conditions; typically, 20 to 80 patients; everyone gets agent
EVALUATION OF EFFECTIVENESS IN A CERTAIN TUMOR TYPE
• •
Determine short-term AEs and risks; closely monitored Includes up to 100 patients, typically
PHASE 3
GATHER ADDITIONAL EFFECTIVENESS AND SAFETY INFORMATION COMPARED TO STANDARD OF CARE
PHASE 4
APPROVED AGENTS IN NEW POPULATIONS OR NEW DOSE FORMS
• •
Placebo may be involved if no standard of care exists; 100s to several thousand patients Often multiple institutions; single or double blind
AE = adverse event; DLT = dose-limiting toxicity; MTD = maximum tolerated dose; PD = pharmacodynamics; PK = pharmacokinetics. Faiman B, et al. Adv Pract Oncol. 2016;7:17-29.

CLINICAL TRIAL MYTHS: DISPELLING INACCURACIES MYTH: If I participate in a clinical trial, I might get a placebo, not active treatment MYTH: If I participate in a clinical trial, I can’t change my mind
• Phase 1 and 2, everyone gets active treatment • Phase 3 standard of care vs new regimen: often standard regimen with/without additional agent in MM trials • Patients can withdraw their consent for clinical trial participation at any time
MYTH: Patients (whatever demographic/ distance from clinic/etc) never participate in clinical trials so I won’t mention it
• Mention the option and give the patient the opportunity; implicit and explicit biases can limit participation • Some groups may need more information about clinical trials to feel comfortable with participation
MYTH: Clinical trials are dangerous because they have new medicines and practices
• Some risk is involved with every treatment, but medicines are used in clinical trials with people only after they have gone though testing to indicate that the drug is likely to be safe and effective for human use
MYTH: Clinical trials are expensive and not covered by insurance
• Research costs are typically covered by the sponsoring company • Standard patient care costs are typically covered by insurance • Check with clinical trial team/insurers; costs such as transportation, hotel may not be reimbursed and are paid by patient
MM = multiple myeloma.

IMPORTANCE OF DIVERSITY IN CLINICAL TRIALS “[P]eople from racial and ethnic minority and other diverse groups are underrepresented in clinical research. This is a concern because people of different ages, races, and ethnicities may react differently to certain medical products.” –FDA
