Abstract
The aim of the study was to develop a new whole spinal MRI-based tumor burden scoring method in participants with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma (MM) and to explore its prognostic significance. We prospectively recruited participants with newly diagnosed MM; performed whole spinal MRI (sagittal FSE T1WI, sagittal IDEAL T2WI, and axial FLAIR T2WI) on them; and collected their clinical data, early treatment response, progression-free survival (PFS), and overall survival (OS). We developed a new tumor burden scoring method according to the extent of bone marrow infiltration in five MRI patterns. All participants were divided into good response and poor response groups after four treatment cycles. Univariate, multivariate analyses, and ROC were used to determine the performance of independent predictors. Thresholds for PFS and OS were calculated using X-tile, and their prognostic significance were assessed by Kaplan-Meier. The Kruskal-Wallis H test was used to compare the differences of tumor burden score between the revised International Staging System (R-ISS) stages. The new tumor burden scoring method was used in 62 participants (median score, 12; range, 0-18). The tumor burden score (OR 1.266, p = 0.002) was an independent predictor of poor response and the AUC was 0.838. Higher tumor burden scores were associated with shorter PFS (p = 0.002) and OS (p = 0.011). The tumor burden score was higher in R-ISS-III than in R-ISS-I and R-ISS-II (p = 0.016 and p = 0.006, respectively). The tumor burden score was an excellent predictor of prognosis and may serve as a supplemental marker for R-ISS.

Abstract
Despite recent advances in the range of therapies available for the treatment of multiple myeloma (MM), there are limited data surrounding survival outcomes and baseline characteristics influencing survival in general clinical practice in Japan. The aim of this study was to use electronic medical records (EMRs) to examine overall survival (OS) and prognostic factors in Japanese patients with MM. We extracted EMRs in the Real World Data (RWD) database of patients with a confirmed diagnosis of MM and treatment history with bortezomib, thalidomide, and/or lenalidomide. OS and prognostic factors for OS were analyzed using a univariate analysis and decision tree model. Of the 6509 patients in the database with a diagnosis of MM, 1565 were eligible. Patients had a median (range) age of 72 (23-92) years, a median OS of 53.5 months, and a 5-year OS rate of 45.6%. In alignment with previous studies, International Staging System stage and age were prognostic of OS. In addition, platelet and erythrocyte counts, chloride, total protein, C-reactive protein, and lactate dehydrogenase levels were identified as important prognostic factors for OS and were used to pilot a simple prognostic tool. In conclusion, we found that the survival outcomes extracted from EMRs in the RWD of Japanese patients with MM aligned with a previous retrospective study from Japan. Baseline laboratory parameters prognostic for OS were explored with additional factors to International Staging System and age identified. These might be used to optimize treatment selection, although further investigation using additional data sources is required.

Abstract
This study evaluated prognostic performance of International Staging System (ISS), revised ISS, and chromosomal abnormalities (CA) in newly diagnosed multiple myeloma patients to describe treatment patterns (cohort 1; n = 1979) and survival outcomes (cohort 2; n = 1382). In both cohorts, ∼18%, 41%, and 37% of patients were high-risk according to the R-ISS, ISS, and high-risk CA criteria, respectively. Across all risk stratification criteria, 60% of patients received triplets. In cohort 2, the median modified progression-free survival decreased with each increasing risk stage (23.5, 12.1, and 8.8 months in R-ISS I, II, and III, respectively, and 16.0, 12.7, and 10.4 months in ISS I, II, and III). Similar trends were observed in the proportions of two-year overall survival. In conclusion, R-ISS has greater discriminatory power than ISS or high-risk CA alone and can be implemented in a real-world setting. Accordingly, a more risk-adapted approach can be feasible, with a greater population-level impact.

Abstract
High-dose chemotherapy with autologous stem-cell transplantation (ASCT) remains the standard of care in multiple myeloma (MM) patients. This retrospective study aimed to assess the impact of neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and other complete blood count (CBC)-based predictors on PFS and OS of transplant-eligible MM patients. The CBC-based biomarkers were evaluated in a single-center cohort of 176 MM patients at three time points: at the diagnosis, the time of ASCT, and +100 d after ASCT. Univariable and multivariable Cox's regression analyses and Kaplan-Meier estimate were used in statistical analysis. NLR at ASCT (HR 1.15, 95% CI: 1.05-1.26) and hemoglobin at ASCT (HR 0.80, 95% CI: 0.68-0.94) were independent factors influencing PFS. In the model for OS, the only statistically significant factors were NLR at ASCT (HR 1.15, 95% CI: 1.04-1.27), bortezomib administration prior to ASCT (HR 0.52, 95% CI: 0.33-0.83) and age at diagnosis (HR 1.03, 95% CI: 1.00-1.06). NLR at ASCT is an independent predictive factor in MM patients undergoing ASCT.

Abstract
Autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) remains an important therapeutic strategy for multiple myeloma; however, a proportion of patients fail to mobilize a sufficient number of peripheral blood stem cells (PBSCs) to proceed to ASCT. In the present study, we aimed to clarify the characteristics and outcomes of poor mobilizers. Clinical data on poorly mobilized patients who underwent PBSC harvest for almost 10 years were retrospectively collected from 44 institutions in the Japanese Society of Myeloma (JSM). Poor mobilizers were defined as patients with less than 2 × 106/kg of CD34+ cells harvested at the first mobilization. The proportion of poor mobilization was 15.1%. A sufficient dataset including overall survival (OS) was evaluable in 258 poor mobilizers. Overall, 92 out of 258 (35.7%) poor mobilizers did not subsequently undergo ASCT, mainly due to an insufficient number of PBSCs. Median OS from apheresis was longer for poor mobilizers who underwent ASCT than for those who did not (86.0 vs. 61.9 mon., p = 0.02). OS from the diagnosis of poor mobilizers who underwent ASCT in our cohort was similar to those who underwent ASCT in the JSM database (3y OS rate, 86.8% vs. 85.9%). In this cohort, one‐third of poor mobilizers who did not undergo ASCT had relatively poor survival. In contrast, the OS improved in poor mobilizers who underwent ASCT. However, the OS of extremely poor mobilizers was short irrespective of ASCT.

Abstract
Background Whole-body diffusion-weighted imaging (WB-DWI) is a method for evaluating bone marrow infiltration in multiple myeloma (MM). This study seeks to elucidate the correlation between the apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) value and some selected clinical parameters.
Methods A total of 101 Chinese patients with MM who had undergone WB-DWI from May 2017 to May 2019 were enrolled in this study. The ADC values of the MM lesions and the clinical parameters were quantified at the first (baseline) visit and after four-course induction chemotherapy. Multiple linear regression and logistic analyses were carried out to find the implicit inherent relationships within the patients’ data. Results The paired Wilcoxon test showed that the ADC values at the baseline visit (ADC0) were significantly lower than the values after four-course induction chemotherapy (ADC4 c) (p < 0.001), including different therapeutic responses. The Revised International Staging System (RISS) stage, type of MM, and β2-microglobulin (β2-MG) were predictors of clinically significant increases or decreases in the ADC values (p < 0.05). Multiple linear regression showed that the ADC0 was negatively associated with β2-MG (p < 0.001) and immunoglobulin heavy chain gene rearrangement (p = 0.012), while the RISS Stage III (p = 0.001), type IgG λ (p = 0.005), and albumin were negatively associated with ADC4 c (p = 0.010). The impacts of the therapeutic response were associated with ADC0 and immunoglobulin heavy chain gene rearrangement (p < 0.001). Conclusion The ADC values of WB-DWI may be associated with clinical parameters of MM including the fluorescence in situ hybridization result, and may be useful in the prognosis of patients with MM.
