Attal M. et al
IFM 2009: Conclusions • This second interim analysis demonstrates that transplantation : – Is associated with an acceptable Transplant Related Mortality: 1.4%. – Is associated with an improved 4-year PFS (47% vs 35%, p<0.001). • A longer follow up is required to draw conclusions concerning OS – The 4-year survival is high in both arms (80% vs 83%). – Even in the era of new drugs, transplantation remains the standard of care.

How Do I Treat Relapsed Multiple Myeloma? Rafat Abonour, M.D.
Harry and Edith Gladstein Professor of Cancer Research Professor of Medicine, Pathology and Laboratory Medicine Director, Multiple Myeloma, Waldenstrom's Disease and Amyloidosis Program Indiana University School of Medicine
When should we treat relapsed disease? • At biochemical relapse? • When myeloma protein starts rising! • When involved free light chain starts rising! • At Clinical relapse? • CRAB criteria (Anemia, kidney failure, high calcium or new bone disease) • Extramedullary disease (myeloma growing at tumors outsides the bone)
When should we treat relapsed disease? • We do not know, but we can speculate! • Most approved treatment in relapsed myeloma were based on biochemical relapse. • Some observations support better outcome when treating biochemical relapse: • Mayo clinic showed better overall survival when treating biochemical relapse (median PFS 125 vs 81 months)
Pros and Cons of treating Biochemical Relapse • Con: • 25% of biochemical relapse patients will have a smoldering course. No progression for 2 years. • Pros: • Median time between biochemical relapse and clinical symptoms is about 5-6 months. • If you do not get it right at first relapse you may not get it right at subsequent relapses
Response Duration Decreases with each relapse

Genomic Heterogeneity Affects the Course of MM • Most patients with MM have multiple
distinct subclonal populations as a result of the expansion of genetically different myeloma cells; this causes intratumoral heterogeneity1 • MM is clonally heterogeneous at diagnosis and throughout treament2 • The genomic heterogeneity of MM contributes to treatment resistance and relapse3 • Wide variety of mutations found within •
a single patient may result in treatment resistance and refractory disease1,3,4 Furthermore, subclones continually mutate over time, including after treatment, which may contribute to resistance and result in disease progression1,5

Evolution of Clonal Populations of Myeloma Cells4
Republished with permission of American Society of Hematology, from Keats JJ et al. Blood. 2012;120(5):1067-1076; via Copyright Clearance Center, Inc.
Clonal heterogeneity in English • Myeloma cells in each patients are a family of odds and aggressive members • The longer this family sticks around the odder and more aggressive it becomes • Family therapy is not going to work, you can not be politically correct here, eradicate them early. • This is making the case for early treatment and with combination regimen
Factors influencing the choice of therapy at Relapse
• Disease related • Regimen related • Patients related
Disease related Factors • Clinical features associated with relapse (elevated calcium, renal failure, anemia, bone lesions) • Expanding or new plasmacytomas or hyperviscosity • High-risk cytogenetics • Extramedullary disease or plasma cell leukemia • High ISS stage
Regimen-related Factors • Previous treatment and dose • Duration of prior response • Side effects, tolerability, and toxicity of prior treatment(s) and treatment combinations • Depth and duration of previous transplant
Patient-related Factors • Performance status, Frailty • Patient comorbidities • Transplant eligibility • Patient preference • Cost/socioeconomics

Unprecedented ORR including MRD neg in heavily pre-treated patients One time intervention; long chemo holiday resulting in median PFS ~1 year
Cons
Manufacturing time makes impractical for patients with aggressive/rapidly progressing disease Requires complex infrastructure – stem cell lab, RN/ ICU/ER training – thus restricted to accredited centers CRS ? role in frail elderly Impact of bridging chemo on remission duration Low WBC and plts post CAR-T Cost given relapses even in MRD neg patients; mgmt. challenging especially if soon after flu/cy given impact on T cells

Limited severe CRS - ? Safety in frail elderly
1 hour infusion every 3 weeks
Can be given in community settings after 1st cycle ? Need for admissions with initial doses until CRS risk low Dosing/schedule to be determined Need for continuous treatment until progression
No CRS, can be given in community settings Ocular toxicity – requires close collaboration with opthamology & impact on pt quality of life Thrombocytopenia Need for continuous treatment until progression
Toxicities require further study – Modest ORR and PFS in triple infections, neurotoxicty class/penta refractory

Myeloma and Treatments Both Contribute to How You Feel
Constellation of Symptoms
Myeloma cells in excess can cause symptoms
Treatments for myeloma kill myeloma cells but can cause symptoms
• • • •
• • • •
Calcium elevation Renal dysfunction Anemia Bone pain
• Fatigue • Infection • Other symptoms
Myelosuppression Peripheral neuropathy Diarrhea Fatigue
• Deep vein thrombosis • Infection (eg, shingles) • Other symptoms
How You Feel 92
What Happens if Symptoms Are Not Managed Effectively? Poorly managed symptoms can lead to... • Anxiety • Depression • Social isolation • Missed doses • Reduced treatment efficacy • Reduced quality of life
Constellation of Symptoms
Discuss how you feel with your team... • Keep a symptom diary; discuss with team • Many options but your team cannot help if they don’t know • Express your priorities – Fatigue is common concern but making the right treatment decision is higher priority for most

Steroid Side Effects and Management Steroid Side Effects • Irritability,
mood swings, depression
• Blurred vision, cataracts • Flushing/sweating
• Difficulty sleeping
• Stomach bloating,
• Increased risk of
• Weight gain, hair
(insomnia), fatigue
infections, heart disease • Muscle weakness, cramping
hiccups, heartburn, ulcers, or gas thinning/loss, skin rashes
• Increase in blood
sugar levels, diabetes
Constellation of Symptoms
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
Steroids help kill myeloma cells. Do not stop or adjust steroid doses without discussing it with your health care provider.
• Increase in blood pressure,
water retention
King T, Faiman B. CJON. 2017; 21(5)suppl:240-249. Faiman B, et al. CJON. 2008;12(3)suppl:53-63.
94
Fatigue, Depression, and Anxiety
Constellation of Symptoms
• All can affect quality of life and relationships • Sources include anemia, pain, reduced activity, insomnia, treatment toxicity, bone marrow suppression
Management
• Exercise (walking, yoga, etc) • Proper rest • Support (social network, support group, professional counseling, etc) • Prayer, meditation, spiritual support • Mindfulness-based stress reduction
• • • • •
Medications Massage, aroma therapy Supplements: ginseng Transfusion, if indicated Effective management of other symptoms
At least 70% of patients experience fatigue, but only 20% tell their provider. Let your provider know about symptoms that are not well controlled or thoughts of self harm. Catamero D et al. CJON. 2017; 21(5)suppl:7-18. Faiman, B. et al 2017. Patient Reported Symptoms, Concerns and Provider Intervention in Patients with Multiple Myeloma.
95
Infection Prevention & Treatment • Compromised immune function comes from multiple myeloma and from treatment • Good personal hygiene (skin, oral) • Environmental control (wash hands, avoid crowds and sick people, etc) • Growth factor (Neupogen [filgrastim]) • Immunizations (NO live vaccines) • Medications (antibacterial, antiviral)
Constellation of Symptoms
Report fever of more than 100.4°F, shaking chills even without fever, dizziness, shortness of breath, low blood pressure to HCP as directed. Infection is serious for myeloma patients!
– New research: for patients receiving active myeloma therapy, levofloxacin 500 mg once daily for 12 weeks reduced infection (fevers, death) (ASH 2017 #903)
Brigle K, et al. CJON. 2017; 21(5)suppl:60-76.
96
Pain Prevention and Management
Constellation of Symptoms
• 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; antiviral to prevent shingles; sedation before procedures – Intervention depends on source of pain – May include medications, activity, surgical intervention, radiation therapy, etc – Complementary and alternative medicine (supplements, acupuncture, etc)
Tell your health care provider about any new bone pain or chronic pain that is not adequately controlled
