The Problem of Relapse in Myeloma
PARAMESWARAN HARI
Medical College of Wisconsin
Relapse is the hallmark of multiple myeloma
•Definitions
•Relapse from CR / Biochemical
Progression / Clinical Relapse
•Biological Correlates
•Choosing when to treat
•Risk Stratification of Relapse
Definitions- Relapse
•From CR
•Mainly used for clinical trials
•Reappearance of serum or urine M-protein by immunofixation or electrophoresis or
abnormal FLC ratio
•Development of ≥5% plasma cells in BM
•Any other sign of progression (ie, new plasmacytoma, lytic bone lesion, or
hypercalcemia)
•Clinical relapse
•New CRAB findings
•New plasmacytomas or bone lesions (fractures do not necessarily count)
•Increasing size of existing plasmacytomas (>50%)
•Hyperviscosity related to paraprotein
Kumar et al, Lancet Oncol, 2017

Definitions- Progression
•Increase of 25% from lowest confirmed response value in one or more of:
–Serum M-protein (absolute increase must be ≥0.5 g/dL)
–Serum M-protein increase ≥1 g/dL, if the lowest M component was ≥5 g/dL
–Urine M-protein (absolute increase must be ≥200 mg/24 h)
–Light chain disease: the difference between involved and uninvolved FLC levels
(absolute increase must be >10 mg/dL)
•Non-secretory: 25% increase in bone marrow plasma-cell percentage irrespective of
baseline status (absolute increase must be ≥10%)
•Appearance of a new lesion(s), ≥50% increase from nadir
•≥50% increase in circulating plasma cells (minimum of 200 cells per μL) if this is the only
measure of disease
Kumar et al, Lancet Oncol, 2017
Multiclonal disease with spatial and temporal
heterogeneity
•Acquired genomic events with progression
Rasche L et al Nature Communications 8, Article number: 268(2017)
Case presentation
•62 YO M with standard risk MM dx’d in 1/2013
–Received RVD x 3nCR
–Auto-HCT with melphalan 200 in 6/2013sCR
–Maintenance lenalidomide started in 9/2013
•On routine bloodwork 4/2017 SPEP shows reappearance of M protein at
0.1 g/dL
Now what??

Importance of full re-staging at suspected
relapse/progression
•History- determine co-morbidities
•Physical- determine PS
•Labs –including PB flow for PCs
•Bone marrow, including FISH, cytogenetics, +/- GEP
–Determine new clones
–Risk stratification
–Possibly help with clinical decision making (BCMA, 11:14)
•Imaging- beware of EMD
–PET/CT
–PET/MRI

Making your decision
•Immediate treatment for relapse
•Closer follow-up
•Regular follow-up
Indications for treatment
•Clinical relapse (CRAB or plasmacytomas)
•Significant biochemical progression without clinical relapse
•Doubling of the M-component in two consecutive measurements separated by 2
months with the reference value of 5 g/L, (=0.5 g/dL) or
•In two consecutive measurements any of the following increases:
–the absolute levels of serum M protein by ≥10 g/L (=1.0g/dL), or
–an increase of urine M protein by ≥500 mg per 24 hours, or
–an increase of involved FLC level by ≥20 mg/dL (= 200 mg/L) (plus an abnormal FLC
ratio) or 25% increase (whichever is greater)

When to treat if only biochemical
relapse/progression
•Aggressive clinical disease at diagnosis
•Short treatment-free interval/ suboptimal response to previous
treatment line
•Imminent risk for organ dysfunction (pts with previous light chain-
induced renal impairment)
•Unfavorable cytogenetics (t(4;14) or del17p)

Clinical Vignette
72-year-old female with diagnosis of standard risk myeloma
(hyperdiploidy on FISH studies) received induction therapy with RVd
regimen. She underwent upfront transplant and achieved stringent
CR. She opted not to go for maintenance therapy, and was monitored
closely. Four years from her transplant, she started showing
evidence of biochemical progression, and now she is anemic.
You suggest that the following second line regimen delivers the best
depth of response (≥VGPR) based on the data from available
lenalidomide based phase III studies:
1. Elotuzumab with lenalidomide and dexamethasone
2. Daratumumab with lenalidomide and dexamethasone
3. Ixazomib with lenalidomide and dexamethasone
4. Carfilzomib with lenalidomide and dexamethasone

Factors to Consider to for Treatment Selection a
Relapse: Treatment related Factors
➢Previous therapy
➢Pts with PD receiving IMiDs, PIs, or cytotoxic doublet/triplet therapies can
benefit from next-generation regimens
➢Avoid agents of previous regimen-related toxicity
➢Maintenance therapy
➢Regimen-related toxicity
➢Toxicity profile should be considered in light of pt comorbidities
➢Neuropathy: consider neuropathy sparing durgs (avoid bortezomib,
thalidomide)
➢Cardiac issues (uncontrolled HTN, CHF): careful consideration of
carfilzomib
➢COPD: monoclonal antibodies with caution (daratumumab)
➢DVT/PE: use anticoagulation with IMiDs
➢Depth and duration of previous response, tumor burden at relapse
➢Retreatment with previous therapies an option if pt had previous response to
the treatment, acceptable tolerance, and relapse occurred at least 6 mos
after previous exposure

3. Palumbo A, et al. Blood. 2011;118:4519-4529.
Factors to Consider to for Treatment Selection a
Relapse: Patient related Factors
➢Renal insufficiency: disease related or due to comorbidities
(hypertension, vascular disease, diabetes, nephrotoxicity)[1]
➢Hepatic impairment common in pts with RRMM[1]
➢Comorbidities and fraility[1]
➢Treatment decisions complicated in elderly
➢↑ toxicity due to ↓ organ function, physiologic reserve
➢European Myeloma Network vulnerability assessment algorithm
anticipates regimen-related toxicities and assists individualizing
therapy with least potential for interruption[2,3]
➢Patient preferences
➢Convenience, ease of travel, insurance and other social factors

72-year-old female with diagnosis of standard risk myeloma
(hyperdiploidy on FISH studies) received induction therapy with RVd
regimen. She underwent upfront transplant and achieved stringent
CR. She opted not to go for maintenance therapy, and was monitored
closely. Four years from her transplant, she started showing

2. Daratumumab with lenalidomide and dexamethasone
3. Ixazomib with lenalidomide and dexamethasone
4. Carfilzomib with lenalidomide and dexamethasone
Conclusions
➢Novel agents in combination can achieve prolonged
responses even in relapsed disease
➢Depth of response is key even in relapsed disease
➢There are many right ways to treat patients with multiple
myeloma in relapse
➢There are also wrong ways to do it, know your options
➢Regimen with good tolerability, and efficacy (monoclonal antibodies)
➢Despite major advances and newer options, a few
challenges that we face today are
‒how to sequence the available regimens?
‒how to personalize therapy to derive the maximize benefit (eg:
biomarkers)?
‒how to tailor therapy to minimize toxicity yet retain efficacy

Analysis of Daratumumab, Pomalidomide and
Dexamethasone in Relapsed/Refractory Multiple Myeloma
General Treatment Principles
•Overlap between early and late relapse treatment choices
•An early or late relapse regimen may be appropriate as 2nd –4th line therapy
(1 –3 prior lines) depending on the circumstances
•The role of doublets and monotherapy is limited
•Several novel triplets now available with good toxicity profiles
•Consider in the more frail, heavily pretreated patients
•Prior treatment toxicity, disease resistance patterns and co-
morbidities figure particularly prominently into the decision making
process for these patients
•Assess for the presence of t(11;14)
•Always think about a clinical trial
PABST: The Blue Ribbon Approach to Therapy
Decisions for Previously Treated Multiple Myeloma
•Past medical history
•What co-morbidities will impact tolerability
of therapy?
•Adverse events
•What toxicities were experienced with prior
therapy?
•Biochemical vs clinical
relapse/progression
•Standard vs high-risk disease biology
•Treatment history
•Is the disease resistant to specific drug
classes?

Biochemical vs Clinical Progression
•Biochemical progression:
•Progression of disease based on M
protein parameter increase only
•Timing of therapy institution /
escalation dependent on numerous
factors
•Pace of progression
•Original clinical presentation
•Standard vs high-risk disease biology
•Patient / physician comfort level
•Clinical relapse:
•“Direct indicators of increasing
disease and/or end organ dysfunction
(CRAB features) related to the
underlying clonal plasma-cell
proliferative disorder”
•Mandates immediate institution /
escalation of therapy
IMWG Consensus Criteria for Response in MM

Treatment History
•What regimen(s) has the patient had in earlier lines of therapy?
•Is the disease refractory to a specific treatment?
•Refractory per the IMWG guidelines: disease progression on or within 60 days of the last dose of
therapy
•Lack of response (stable disease) with prior therapy has been included in the definition of refractory in some studies
•Carfilzomib has activity in bortezomib-refractory disease but the reverse has not been well studied
•Pomalidomide has activity in lenalidomide-refractory disease but the reverse has not been well studied
•If refractory, did the patient have disease progression on standard dosing, reduced dosing
due to prior toxicity or maintenance dosing?
•If dose reduced for toxicity, what were the toxicities, and how could they be better managed?
•For patients on maintenance, it is common practice to optimize therapy prior to changing to a non-
cross resistant regimen.
•Increase the dose of lenalidomide and reincorporate dexamethasone for a patient with progression on lenalidomide
maintenance. A 3rd agent is often included in such a scenario (e.g. elotuzumab) but patients with lenalidomide-
refractory disease were not allowed to participate in the ELOQUENT-1 study and the additional impact of this
maneuver has not been well studied
Treatment Choice Algorithm
•First Step
•Review resistance pattern with prior therapy
•Determine biochemical vs clinical relapse
•Assess standard vs high risk disease
•High risk FISH: del(1p), gain 1q, t(4;14), t(14;16), t(14;20), del(17p)
•High LDH, circulating plasma cells, plasma cell leukemia, extramedullary disease
•Second Step
•Refine choice based on co-morbidities and tolerability of previously used drug
classes

Conclusions
•There are many right ways to treat patients with multiple myeloma in relapse
•There are also wrong ways to do it
•As long as you have a PABST (review PMHx, adverse events, biochemical vs
clinical relapse, standard vs high-risk disease, treatment history), you will come to
a good answer for your patient
•Use your local/regional Myeloma Specialists as a resource when questions arise
about risk status, when to change treatment in biochemical relapse, optimal
therapy when the preferred regimens may not be good options
•Always consider a clinical trial, especially in increasingly refractory and / or high
risk disease. We have gotten better at treating this disease but have a long ways
to go!

Daratumumab in High-Risk Patients
Rationale for DARA + POM-D
14
•In a randomized, Phase 3 study, pomalidomide plus low-dose
dexamethasone (POM-D) in patients relapsed from or refractory to
previous treatment with bortezomib or lenalidomide1 resulted in the
following:
–ORR = 31%
–Median PFS of 4.0 months
–Median OS of 12.7 months
•Pomalidomide increases CD38 expression in a time and dose-
dependent fashion in multiple myeloma cells2

Myeloma CAR Therapy
•Which Target:
–CD19, CD138, CD38, CD56, kappa, Lewis Y, CD44v6, CS1 (SLAMF7),
BCMA
•Many questions remain about CAR design:
–Optimal costimulatory domains
–Optimal vector
–Optimal dose and schedule
–Need for chemotherapy
–Perhaps “cocktails” of multiple CARs or CARs + chemotherapy will be
required for best outcomes
Which Target: BCMA
Multiple myeloma cells
