2. Clinical Scenario
• 59 yo F with IgG κ multiple myeloma
• Hgb 9.2 and lytic lesions, so symptomatic
• Albumin 3.8 and β2m 5.8, so ISS stage III
• FISH and cytogenetics normal
• What induction regimen would you recommend?
4. Alternate Clinical Scenario 1
• 59 yo F with IgG κ multiple myeloma
• Hgb 9.2 and lytic lesions, so symptomatic
• Albumin 3.8 and β2m 5.8, so ISS stage III
• FISH shows del 17p, cytogenetics are normal
• What induction regimen would you recommend?
6. Alternate Clinical Scenario 2
• 59 yo F with IgG κ multiple myeloma
• Hgb 9.2 and lytic lesions, so symptomatic
• Albumin 3.8 and β2m 5.8, so ISS stage III
• FISH and cytogenetics are normal
• Serum creatinine 5.0 (vs. prior baseline of 1.0)
• What induction regimen would you recommend?
8. Clinical Scenario Resumed
• 59 yo F with IgG κ multiple myeloma
• Hgb 9.2 and lytic lesions, so symptomatic
• Albumin 3.8 and β2m 5.8, so ISS stage III
• FISH and cytogenetics normal
• The patient receives thalidomide + dexamethasone
induction, and after 6 cycles is in a VGPR
• She then undergoes autologous stem cell
transplantation, and receives thalidomide
maintenance, which produces a CR
9. Second Line Options
• While on thalidomide maintenance, the patient
develops new bony pain and anemia
• Laboratory studies show a recurrent monoclonal
protein, and the creatinine has risen to 2.0
• Your choice for second line therapy at this point
would be
11. Definitions of Relapse
• Relapse from CR
– Reappearance of serum and/or urine M-protein
• Confirm with repeat study; not oligoclonal banding
– ≥5% clonal plasma cells on aspirate or biopsy
– New or increased lytic bone lesion(s) or plasmacytoma(s)
– Hypercalcemia not attributable to other factor
• Relapse from less than a CR
– Confirmed >25% increase in serum M-protein of 0.5 g/dL≥
– Confirmed >25% increase in BJP of 200 mg/24 hrs≥
– >25% increase in marrow plasmacytosis ( 10% increase)≥
– Criterion 3 or 4 from above
12. Definitions of Refractory
• Progressing on current treatment
• Progression within 60 days of completing a
previous treatment
• Most recent treatment did not induce at least a
minor response (25% reduction in disease
burden)
13. Biochemical vs. Symptomatic Relapse
• Not all patients who suffer a biochemical
relapse have disease that requires
immediate salvage therapy
• Patients who have asymptomatic disease
progression may be candidates for a
watchful waiting approach, or “window”
trials of novel agents/approaches
15. Major Treatment Goals
• Achieve disease response
• Reduce active symptom burden
• Prevent any additional morbidity
• Prolong the patient’s overall survival
• Ultimately, to cure multiple myeloma
altogether

Blood 114:3139, 2009. Chanan-Khan, AA et al. J Clin Oncol. 28: 2612, 2010.
17. Other Treatment Goals
• Target rational pathway
– Multiple key downstream targets to pathobiology
• Maximize the quality of life
– Enhance TTNT, TFI
• Minimize the toxicities of therapy
– Use agents with predictable and manageable side effects
• Exploit the potential of synergistic interactions
– Ability to reuse and recombine regimens
• Administer medically- & cost-effective therapies
– Don’t break the bank while breaking multiple myeloma
18. 2013 NCCN Guidelines in Relapse
• Bortezomib (Category 1)
• Bortezomib/liposomal doxorubicin (1)
• Lenalidomide/dex (1)
• Bendamustine
• Repeat primary therapy (if relapse at > 6 mos.)
• Bortezomib/dex
• Bortezomib/lenalidomide/dex
• Cyclophosphamide + VD or + Rd
• Thalidomide/dex
• Dex, or DCEP, or DT-PACE ± Bortezomib

89. Conclusions
• 2nd
generation PI carfilzomib & 3rd
generation
IMiD pomalidomide approved
• Studies of rationally designed combination
regimens are underway and showing promise
• Mabs such as elotuzumab and daratumumab
bring new approach into play against myeloma
• Novel agents with new mechanisms of action
such as ARRY-520 and dinaciclib are entering
the fray
