Topics

  • When to treat? Smoldering vs Symptomatic
  • Risk stratification
  • Choice of Induction regimen
  • Role of HDT
  • Role of consolidation/maintenance

Criteria for Diagnosis of Myeloma

MGUS

  • < 3 g M spike
  • < 10% plasma cells

AND

SMM

  • ≥ 3 g M spike
  • ≥ 10% plasma cells

Active MM

  • ≥ 10% plasma cells
  • M spike +

AND

No anemia, bone lesions, normal calcium, and kidney function

MGUS = monoclonal gammopathy of unknown significance; SMM = smoldering multiple myeloma. Kyle et al, 2009.

Anemia, bone lesions, high calcium, or abnormal kidney function

The Good News

  • Outcomes for patients are clearly improved
  • The use of HDT or melphaln based novel agent inductions have

doubled median survival for nearly all patients

What is the Current state of the Art?

  • Induction for younger patients

– 3 drug induction followed by auto transplant in first response (Cavo et al) – Maintenance therapy post auto transplant (Attal, McCarthy, Palumbo) – Maximize duration of first response (Palumbo) – Goals of treatment now include trying to achieve MRD negativity (San Miguel/Paiva)

Early Phase Studies: Novel Regimens for Induction for Transplantation-Eligible Pts

Role and Timing of HDT

  • Optimal induction is a Key
  • Is the role of HDT waning?
  • Does timing matter?
  • What is the impact of MRD

Conclusions

  • How you approach induction is important
  • Role of HDT continues to be there, especially

for high and intermediate risk patients

  • Maintenance and maximal prolongation of

first remission is critical for long term survival

  • Initial and long term planning for treatment of

MM is the first step for improved outcomes.
