Optimizing Treatment Sequencing for Patients With Relapsed/ Refractory Multiple Myeloma
1. Optimizing Treatment Sequencing for Patients
With Relapsed/Refractory Multiple Myeloma
Shaji Kumar, MD
Mark and Judy Mullins Professor of Hematological Malignancies
Mayo Clinic Cancer Center
3. Learning Objectives
MM = multiple myeloma.
Determine the timing and indications for initiating therapy in relapsed
MM
Assess recent clinical trial findings on novel sequential treatment
approaches for relapsed/refractory MM
Evaluate strategies to monitor and manage adverse events associated
with novel therapies for relapsed/refractory MM
4. Defining Disease Progression: IMWG
IMWG = International Myeloma Working Group; M-protein = myeloma protein; dFLC = difference between involved minus uninvolved serum free light chains;
BMPC% = bone marrow plasma cell percentage; SPD = sum of the product of the diameters.
Kumar et al, 2016.
≥25% increase from lowest confirmed response value in ≥1 of the following:
Serum M-protein (absolute increase must be ≥0.5 g/dL; or increase ≥1 g/dL if the lowest M
spike was ≥5 g/dL)
Urine M-protein (absolute increase ≥200 mg/24 hours)
In patients without measurable serum and urine M-protein levels, dFLC levels (absolute
increase must be >10 mg/dL)
If no measurable serum/urine M-protein/FLC levels, BMPC% irrespective of baseline status
(absolute increase must be ≥10%)
Appearance of a new lesion(s), ≥50% increase from nadir in SPD of >1 lesion, or
≥50% increase in the longest diameter of a previous lesion >1 cm in short axis
≥50% increase in circulating plasma cells (>200 cells per μL) if this is the only
measure of disease
5. Defining Clinical Relapse: IMWG
Kumar et al, 2016.
≥1 of the following criteria:
Development of new soft tissue plasmacytomas or bone lesions (osteoporotic
fractures do not constitute progression)
Increase in the size of existing plasmacytomas or bone lesions (defined as 50%
and ≥1 cm increase as measured serially by the SPD) of the measurable lesion
Hypercalcemia (>11 mg/dL)
Decrease in hemoglobin of ≥2 g/dL not related to therapy or other non–
myeloma-related conditions
Rise in serum creatinine by ≥2 mg/dL from the start of therapy and attributable
to myeloma
Hyperviscosity related to serum paraprotein
6. Relapsed MM: Scope of the Problem
Kumar et al, 2014; SEER, 2021.
Median time to first relapse with current therapies: 3-4 years
>100,000 patients living
with myeloma
8. Case Study 1: Mr. JB
R-ISS = Revised International Staging System; IgG = immunoglobulin G; M spike = monoclonal spike; t = translocation; IFE = immunofixation;
VRD = bortezomib/lenalidomide/dexamethasone; SCT = stem cell transplant; CR = complete response; CBC = complete blood count.
74-year-old man diagnosed with MM 5 years ago
R-ISS Stage 2 disease, t(11;14), normal renal function, multiple lytic lesions
IgG kappa M spike 3.4 g/dL, kappa FLC elevated, 24-hour urine IFE–positive
Received VRd induction followed by single SCT and lenalidomide maintenance
Achieved a CR
On routine quarterly follow-up, he now has an M spike of 0.3 gm/dL
He feels fine, normal renal function, normal CBC
What would be your next step?
a) Consider a second autologous SCT
b) Increase the dose of lenalidomide and add dexamethasone
c) Perform imaging studies and observe if normal
d) Consider daratumumab, lenalidomide, and dexamethasone

11. When Should We Start Treatment for Relapse?
CRAB = hypercalcemia, renal failure, anemia, and bone disease.
Mikhael et al, 2019; Laubach et al, 2016.
Patients with clinical progression/CRAB clearly need treatment
Those with biochemical progression only (asymptomatic increase in
monoclonal protein) may not need immediate treatment
Standard-risk disease with slow trend up
Treatment indicated in the following:
High-risk disease with any progression
Presentation with renal or neurological complications
Rapid doubling of M spike
12. General Principles
dex = dexamethasone; PS = performance status.
Mikhael et al, 2019.
Duration of initial response defines biology
Triplet (2 active classes + dex) preferred over doublet
≥1 drug from a non-refractory class
Consider PS, age, and comorbidities when selecting drugs/doses
Take into account prior toxicities/residual toxicities
Treat to maximum response and maintain on 1 drug until progression
or tolerability
13. How Do We Select Treatment?
Mikhael et al, 2019.
Prior drug exposure/refractory status
High-risk vs standard-risk
Age, frailty, and comorbidity
Toxicity with prior drugs
Transplant eligibility/prior transplant
Patient preference/goals of care
Logistics of drug administration

Mikhael et al, 2020.
Nausea and diarrhea
Nausea: recommend using 2 antiemetics in the beginning as prophylaxis
Grade 1 diarrhea: maintain dose, rule out other causes, initiate antidiarrheal treatment
Grade 2 diarrhea: rule out other causes and interrupt selinexor until resolved to grade 1
or baseline
First occurrence: restart selinexor at current dose
Second or later occurrence: reduce selinexor dose by 1 level
Grade 3 diarrhea: delay selinexor until resolved to grade 1 and the patient is clinically
stable, then reduce selinexor dose by 1 dose level

53. Teclistamab: BCMA × CD3 T-Cell Redirecting Bispecific Antibody
Usmani et al, 2021; Moreau et al, 2021; Tecvayli® prescribing information, 2022.
T-cell redirecting bispecific antibody that binds to
CD3 on T cells and BCMA on plasma cells
The phase 1 portion of the MajesTEC-1 study
identified the RP2D for teclistamab monotherapy:
1.5 mg/kg subcutaneous (SC) QW with step-up
doses of 0.06 and 0.3 mg/kg
54. MajesTEC-1: Overall Response Rate
Moreau et al, 2021.
ORR of 62.0% (95% CI: 53.7–69.8)
represents a substantial benefit for
patients with triple-class–exposed
disease
Median time to first response: 1.2
months (range: 0.2–5.5)
MRD negativity rate
24.7% at a threshold of 10-5
16.7% at a threshold of 10-6
In patients who achieved ≥CR, the MRD-
negativity rate was 41.9%
55. MajesTEC-1: Overall Safety Profile
Moreau et al, 2021.
Teclistamab was well tolerated; no patients required dose reduction
Only 1 patient discontinued due to an AE (adenoviral
pneumonia)
Serious AEs occurred in 88 patients (53.3%)
Teclistamab-related serious AEs occurred in 33 patients
Injection-site reactions occurred in 58 patients (35.2%; all grade
1/2)
Infections occurred in 104 (63%) patients (grade 3/4: 35.2%)
9 (5.5%) patients had opportunistic infections
119 patients (72.1%) had evidence of hypogammaglobulinemia
41 of these patients received IVIG at any time during the study (at
physician discretion)
There were 9 deaths due to AEs; none were related to

66. Iberdomide
IBER is an oral, potent novel CRBN E3 ligase modulator (CELMoD)
compound that co-opts CRBN to enable enhanced degradation of target proteins,
including Ikaros and Aiolos
IBER induces potent direct antimyeloma and immune-stimulatory activity in preclinical models
IBER is active in LEN- and POM-resistant myeloma cell lines and enhances cell-mediated killing
through immune stimulation
IBER = iberdomide.

Neutropenia (45%)
Anemia (28%),
Infection (27%)
Thrombocytopenia (22%)
Serious adverse events occurred in 57

POLLUX = daratumumab/lenalidomide/dexamethasone; CASTOR = daratumumab/bortezomib/dexamethasone
Avet-Loiseau et al, 2021.
75. Key Takeaways
Therapeutic advances have led to prolonged survival in MM, but it remains a
chronic disease
Treatment of MM requires a long-term strategy
The key is delivering the best “package” of treatment at a given stage
Optimal combinations and sequencing are key
Switching to regimens with new drug classes offers best outcomes
The future will be developing more individualized approaches
