Multiple Myeloma Bone Lesions :  Conventional radiographs (Skeletal Survey) abnormal in 80% of patients who present with multiple myeloma
Multiple Myeloma Anemia:  Normochromic /normocytic anemia occurs in 75% patients at diagnosis Defined as less than 10gm% in MM
Multiple Myeloma ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],Renal Insufficiency :  Serum creatinine increased in > 50% at diagnosis Creatinine >2g/dL in 20% of patients Renal failure may be presenting manifestation
Multiple Myeloma ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],Spinal Cord Compression : An Oncological Emergency Spinal cord compression occurs in 5 % of patients with multiple myeloma ( plasmacytoma or pathological fracture related)
Multiple Myeloma - Cytogenetics Deletion 17p and Abnormalities associated with chromosome 13 carry a particularly unfavorable prognosis & respond poorly to therapy
Multiple Myeloma Staging : International Staging System  : Stage I — B2M <3.5 mg/L and serum albumin ≥3.5 g/dL Stage II — neither stage I nor stage III Stage III — B2M ≥5.5 mg/L Median overall survival for patients with ISS stages I, II, and III are 62, 44, and 29 months

Notes de l'éditeur

  1. The idea behind Upep with Immunofixation in addition to SPEP is that sometimes, a complete monoclonal protein ( complete intact immunoglobulin) may not detected in the blood but you may have light chain excretion in the urine ( bence jones proteinuria) which can be missed if UPEP is not done. Light chains only get excreted when their production goes beyond renal threshold – so, serum Free light chain assay will be always abnormal
  2. Albumin + globulin . Globulin = alpha, beta and gamma. Immunoglobulins are gamma globulins….theyt migrate to gamma area
  3. SPEP is a useful screening test however, an M-protein may be overlooked or an apparent M-protein may actually represent a polyclonal increase in immunoglobulins or a nonimmunoglobulin. Immunofixation will detect a serum M-protein at a concentration of at least 0.02 g/dL and a urine M-protein at a concentration of ≥0.004 g/dL. Only in initial diagnosis - When following patients with multiple myeloma, MGUS, or a related disorder, once the presence of a monoclonal protein and its type are initially confirmed by immunofixation, it is not necessary to repeat immunofixation unless needed to document complete response to therapy. Patients can usually be followed with electrophoresis of serum (SPEP) or urine (UPEP) proteins.
  4. Remember to call it MGUS m-protein must be less than 3gm%. If it larger, it is no longer MGUS . So, periodic monitoring is important , usually on yearly basis, if initial m-protein is large, may monitor at shorter intervals– during monitoring, if any increase in size &gt; 3 , BM biopsy may be needed to rule our malignant plasma cell disorder!!
  5. HENCE, BOTH SPEP AND UPEP ARE IMP IN MM DIAGNOSIS. UPEP CAN BE REPLACED BY SERUM FLC ASSAY IN INITIAL DIAGNOSIS BUT NOT IN FOLLOW UP OF MM Note: no specific level of M-protein is used as a cutoff value since approximately 40 percent of patients with symptomatic MM will have an M-protein of less than 3 g/dL. Also note that, in true non-secretory MM (approximately 3 percent of MM), an M protein will not be detectable in the serum or urine Note: approximately 4 percent of patients may have fewer than 10 percent bone marrow plasma cells since marrow involvement may be focal , rather than diffuse. Repeat bone marrow biopsy should be considered in such patients. A diagnosis of MM can be made, if other diagnostic criteria are fulfilled, after histopathologic confirmation of a soft tissue or bony plasmacytoma.

  10. With current first-line options, the median survival of patients with myeloma has been approximately 3 years with conventional chemotherapy and 4-5 years with autologous stem cell transplantation. With the introduction of new therapeutic agents, the median survival appears to be increasing even beyond 5 years. Chng. Cancer Control . 2005;12:91.
  11. Len/dex, lenalidomide/dexamethasone; MM, multiple myeloma; MPT, melphalan/ prednisone/thalidomide ; MPV, melphalan/prednisone/bortezomib.   Patients considered eligible for transplantation typically have a good performance status; no significant comorbidities, such as severe cardiac disease or severe pulmonary disease; and are usually younger than 75 years of age. Stem cell transplantation is available through 3 centers in the VA Health System, located in Seattle, Washington; Nashville, Tennessee; and San Antonio, Texas.   Transplant candidates should not receive alkylator‑based therapy with agents such as melphalan hydrochloride, because these agents adversely affect stem cells as well as myeloma cells. Instead, non–alkylator‑based therapies are required for patients who are potential transplantation candidates. Once a patient is determined to be a transplantation candidate, he or she should undergo stem cell harvest.
  12. OS, overall survival.   Stem cell transplantation was shown to be better than conventional therapy in a trial reported by Attal and colleagues in 1996. Patients undergoing stem cell transplantation had a markedly improved median survival compared with patients receiving conventional therapy, with a median survival of approximately 60 months compared with 30 months, respectively. This translated into an overall survival benefit with stem cell transplantation in these patients.
  13. CR, complete response; EFS, event-free survival; Mel, melphalan; OS, overall survival; PR, partial response; Rx, therapy.   Treatment of patients who are undergoing autologous stem cell transplantation begins with induction regimens that exclude alkylating agents. Once stem cells are collected, patients are given high doses of an alkylating agent, such as melphalan 200 mg/m^2, as the standard conditioning regimen. To be eligible for stem cell transplantation, patients must have a good performance status; adequate liver, pulmonary, and cardiac function; and usually must be younger than 75 years of age. Patients who undergo stem cell transplantation have a higher partial response and complete response rate as well as longer overall survival and event‑free survival. Patients with impaired renal function, including those on dialysis, can be considered for stem cell transplantation.
  14. SCT, stem cell transplantation.   Given the availability of very effective regimens, one consideration is whether patients should receive immediate stem cell transplantation or whether transplantation should be delayed until relapse. Other questions include the following: Is single transplantation better than tandem transplantation? What is the role of allogeneic and miniallogeneic transplantation in patients with myeloma? What should be done after transplantation? Should patients receive maintenance therapy?
  15. IMiDs, immunomodulatory drugs.   Several new agents have been introduced to treat newly diagnosed patients with myeloma. These include the immunomodulatory drugs thalidomide and lenalidomide, and the proteasome inhibitors bortezomib and carfilzomib. Carfilzomib is an irreversible proteasome inhibitor, whereas bortezomib is a reversible proteasome inhibitor.
  16. The importance of all these new agents and why they are so successful in treating myeloma is that in addition to targeting the myeloma cells, they also target the microenvironment in the bone marrow, making it less hospitable to myeloma cells. These novel agents have effects on both the tumor and the tumor microenvironment. Kyle. N Engl J Med . 2004;351:1860.
  17. TNF, tumor necrosis factor.   A number of mechanisms of action have been proposed for thalidomide. Thalidomide was originally evaluated in myeloma because of its antiangiogenic properties. The mechanisms of action of thalidomide are not fully understood but may relate to inhibition of tumor necrosis factor- α , cell-surface adhesion molecules, and interleukin 6. Thalidomide may also exhibit antiangiogenic properties through fibroblast growth factor and vascular endothelial growth factor inhibition. Kyle. N Engl J Med . 2004;351:1860; D’Amato. Proc NatlAcadSci USA . 1994;91:4082; Vacca. Blood . 1999;93:3064; Singhal. N Engl J Med . 1999;341:1565.
  18. TNF, tumor necrosis factor.   Lenalidomide is a much more potent immunomodulatory agent that has been found to have multiple effects on myeloma cells and the tumor microenvironment. As with thalidomide, the mechanism of action of lenalidomide is not fully characterized, although the agent does exhibit antineoplastic, immunomodulatory, and antiangiogenic activity. Lenalidomide may also stimulate T-cell proliferation and inhibit T-regulatory cells. Lenalidomide has a more favorable toxicity profile than thalidomide.
  19. CrCl, creatinine clearance; ESRD, end-stage renal disease; MM, multiple myeloma; QD, once daily.   When using lenalidomide with dexamethasone, it is important to remember that lenalidomide is cleared by the kidneys, so the lenalidomide dose must be reduced in patients with renal dysfunction. Lenalidomide can be used even in patients on dialysis, but the dose is reduced from the standard 25 mg/day for 21 days/month to as low as 5 mg/day following dialysis. In summary, lenalidomide is active in patients who have renal dysfunction and myeloma as well as patients with normal function, although one has to be very careful using it in patients with renal impairment.
  20. ADP, adenosine diphosphate; ATP, adenosine triphosphate.   The proteasome inhibitors act on the proteasome, a key mechanism for the cell to degrade proteins that are no longer needed.   Proteasome inhibitors such as bortezomib bind to the proteasome, inhibit the degradative process, and block protein degradation. In particular, bortezomib affects the chymotryptic site on the proteasome. Other new proteasome inhibitors affect the chymotryptic site as well.
  21. MM, multiple myeloma.   Although bortezomib is effective, care must be taken in patients with peripheral neuropathy. Peripheral neuropathy has been reported in 35% of patients with myeloma treated with bortezomib in phase II trials. The overwhelming majority of these patients had preexisting peripheral neuropathy. Only 3% of patients without baseline neuropathy developed significant peripheral neuropathy during treatment with bortezomib.
  22. Len/dex, lenalidomide/dexamethasone; MM, multiple myeloma; MPT, melphalan, prednisone, and thalidomide ; MPV, melphalan/prednisone/bortezomib.   For patients who are not transplantation eligible, there are a number of treatment choices available. These include combination therapy with melphalan/prednisone/thalidomide (MPT), melphalan/prednisone/bortezomib (MPV), and lenalidomide and dexamethasone.  In addition, there is a clinical trial under way for newly diagnosed patients who are not eligible for transplantation, in which bortezomib is given at a different dose schedule and at a slightly higher dose than the standard regimen.
  23. CR, complete response; MM, multiple myeloma; MP, melphalan/prednisone; MPT, melphalan/prednisone/thalidomide; ORR, overall response rate; VMP, bortezomib/melphalan/prednisone.   For elderly patients who are not candidates for transplantation, MP has been the standard therapy. MP is associated with an overall response rate of approximately 60%, but with an extremely low complete remission rate (&lt; 5%). Both MPT and bortezomib/melphalan/prednisone (VMP) have been used successfully to treat elderly patients with myeloma.
  24. DVT, deep vein thrombosis; IMiD , immunomodulatory drug; MP, melphalan/prednisone; ORR, overall response rate; PE, pulmonary embolism; MPR, melphalan/prednisone/lenalidomide; VMP, melphalan/prednisone/bortezomib.   In elderly patients with myeloma, we see very good response rates with melphalan/prednisone/lenalidomide and melphalan/prednisone/bortezomib. Remember that immunomodulatory agents are associated with an increased risk of DVT or pulmonary embolus. In addition, bortezomib-containing regimens are associated with reactivation of herpes zoster, so patients who are undergoing treatment with bortezomib-based therapy must receive herpes zoster prophylaxis.    
  25. Approximately 80% of patients with multiple myeloma have some evidence of skeletal involvement. Most lesions are typically found within the axial skeleton and are all osteolytic. Although the majority of this skeletal involvement will be observed on skeletal survey, further diagnostic testing can look for areas of focal lesions. Some of the areas that may also reveal lytic lesions include the vertebrae (65%), the ribs (45%), the skull (40%), the shoulders (40%), the pelvis (30%), and the long bones (25%). The picture on the slide illustrates a pathologic fracture associated with 2 significant lytic lesions.

  27. OPG, osteoprotegerin; RANKL, receptor activator for nuclear factor-κB ligand.   Bisphosphonates are often concentrated under the site of osteoclasts within the bone. After the initiation of bone resorption, the osteoclasts take up the bisphosphonates within the cell. This uptake inhibits osteoclast activity and, as a result, leads to a decrease in the number of osteoclasts by inhibiting their recruitment and activating apoptosis. Bisphosphonates may also modulate some of the signaling from osteoblasts to osteoclasts; the receptor activator for nuclear factor-κB ligand (RANKL) binds to the RANK receptor on the osteoclast precursor allowing for the formation and suppression of apoptosis. Bisphosphonates may actually decrease osteoclast formation and increase apoptosis by increasing the osteoprotegerin production of the osteoblast.   References: 1. Reszka AA, Rodan GA. Bisphosphonate mechanism of action. Curr Rheumatol Rep . 2003;5:65-74. 2. Viereck V, Emons G, Lauck V, et al. Bisphosphonates pamidronate and zoledronic acid stimulate osteoprotegrin production by primary human osteoblasts. Biochem Biophys Res Commun . 2002;291:680-686. 3. Pan B, Farrugia AN, To LB, et al. The nitrogen-containing bisphosphonate, zoledronic acid, influences RANKL expression in human osteoblast-like cells by activating TNF-alpha converting enzyme (TACE). J Bone Miner Res . 2004;19:147-154.
  28. CrCl, creatinine clearance.   When managing patients with multiple myeloma for the prevention of skeletal-related events, intravenous bisphosphonates are generally used instead of oral bisphosphonates because of their significantly higher potency and bioavailability. In the United States, there are 2 intravenous bisphosphonate options—pamidronate and zoledronic acid—for the prevention of skeletal-related events in patients with multiple myeloma. Recommended doses and infusion times are provided to avoid some of the adverse events that are associated with their use. Because these drugs undergo renal clearance, the estimated creatinine clearance is preferred to determine the dosing and the time. The duration of infusion is extended and the dose is reduced with decreasing creatinine clearance. Package inserts for zoledronic acid recommend dose reduction depending on the degree of renal impairment; zoledronic acid is not recommended in patients with a creatinine clearance &lt; 30 mL/min.
  29. The incidence of ONJ associated with bisphosphonate support is not well characterized in the literature, and much of the evidence is based on case studies or patient surveys. It is an uncommon complication that causes avascular necrosis within the maxilla or mandible. Visualization of exposed bone, evidence of infection, or pain may be the presenting factor. It is not known whether the duration of therapy or the dosing of therapy is associated with the development of ONJ.
