Jang B, Jeong J, Heo KN, Koh Y, Lee JY. Real-world incidence and risk factors of bortezomib-related cardiovascular adverse events in patients with multiple myeloma. Blood Res 2024; 59:3. [PMID: 38485811 PMCID: PMC10903519 DOI: 10.1007/s44313-024-00004-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/17/2023] [Accepted: 01/11/2024] [Indexed: 03/18/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Although most studies on the cardiovascular toxicity of proteasome inhibitors have focused on carfilzomib, the risk of cardiotoxicity associated with bortezomib remains controversial. This study aimed to evaluate the incidence and risk factors of cardiovascular adverse events (CVAEs) associated with bortezomib in patients with multiple myeloma in a real-world setting. METHODS This cross-sectional study included patients who were treated with bortezomib at a tertiary hospital in South Korea. CVAEs, defined as hypertension, arrhythmia, heart failure, myocardial infarction, pulmonary arterial hypertension, angina, and venous thromboembolism, were detected using cardiac markers, ECG, echocardiography, medications, or documentation by clinicians. The patients were observed for at least 6 months and up to 2 years after starting bortezomib administration. RESULTS Among the 395 patients, 20.8% experienced CVAEs of any grade, and 14.7% experienced severe adverse events. The median onset time for any CVAE was 101.5 days (IQR, 42-182 days), and new-onset/worsened hypertension was the most prevalent CVAE. The risk of CVAEs increased in patients with a body mass index lower than 18.5 (adjusted HR (aHR) 3.50, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.05-11.72), light chain (1.80, 1.04-3.13), and IgD (4.63, 1.06-20.20) as the multiple myeloma subtype, baseline stroke (4.52, 1.59-12.80), and hypertension (1.99, 1.23-3.23). However, CVAEs did not significantly affect the 2-year overall survival and progression-free survival. CONCLUSION Approximately 15% of the Korean patients treated with bortezomib experienced severe CVAEs. Thus, patients, especially those with identified risk factors, should be closely monitored for CVAE symptoms during bortezomib treatment.

Abstract
Background: The right ventricle (RV) remains the 'forgotten chamber' in the clinical assessment of cancer therapy-related cardiac dysfunction (CTRCD). Aim: We aimed to review the role that various cardiac imaging modalities play in RV assessment as part of the integrative management of patients undergoing cancer therapy. Discussion: RV assessment remains challenging by traditional 2D echocardiography. In this review we discuss other parameters such as right atrial strain, and other echocardiographic modalities such as 3D and stress echocardiography. We also elaborate on the specific role that cardiac magnetic resonance imaging and equilibrium radionuclide angiocardiography can play in assessing the RV. Conclusion: Biventricular function should be monitored following chemotherapy for early detection of subclinical CTRCD and possible solitary RV changes.

Abstract
With the continuous improvement in survival of cancer patients, including those with multiple myeloma, related to the novel treatment agents and therapeutic approaches, the probability for patients to develop cardiovascular disease has significantly increased, especially in elderly patients and those with additional risk factors. Multiple myeloma is indeed a disease of the elderly population and so these patients are, solely by age, at an increased risk of cardiovascular disease. Risk factors for these events can be patient-, disease- and/or therapy-related, and they have been shown to adversely impact survival. Cardiovascular events affect around 7.5% of patients with multiple myeloma and the risk for different toxicities has considerably varied across trials depending on patients' characteristics and treatment utilized. High grade cardiac toxicity has been reported with immunomodulatory drugs (odds ratio [OR] around 2), proteasome inhibitors (OR 1.67-2.68 depending on the specific agent, and generally higher with carfilzomib), as well as other agents. Cardiac arrhythmias have also been reported with various therapies and drug interaction plays a significant role in that setting. Comprehensive cardiac evaluation before, during and after various anti-myeloma therapy is recommended and the incorporation of surveillance strategies allows early detection and management resulting in improved outcomes of these patients. Multidisciplinary interaction including hematologists and cardio-oncologists is critical for optimal patient care.

Abstract
Cardiovascular disease and cancer are 2 of the leading causes of death worldwide. Although improvements in outcomes have been noted for both disease entities, the success of cancer therapies has come at the cost of at times very impactful adverse events such as cardiovascular events. Hypertension has been noted as both, a side effect as well as a risk factor for the cardiotoxicity of cancer therapies. Some of these dynamics are in keeping with the role of hypertension as a cardiovascular risk factor not only for heart failure, but also for the development of coronary and cerebrovascular disease, and kidney disease and its association with a higher morbidity and mortality overall. Other aspects such as the molecular mechanisms underlying the amplification of acute and long-term cardiotoxicity risk of anthracyclines and increase in blood pressure with various cancer therapeutics remain to be elucidated. In this review, we cover the latest clinical data regarding the risk of hypertension across a spectrum of novel anticancer therapies as well as the underlying known or postulated pathophysiological mechanisms. Furthermore, we review the acute and long-term implications for the amplification of the development of cardiotoxicity with drugs not commonly associated with hypertension such as anthracyclines. An outline of management strategies, including pharmacological and lifestyle interventions as well as models of care aimed to facilitate early detection and more timely management of hypertension in patients with cancer and survivors concludes this review, which overall aims to improve both cardiovascular and cancer-specific outcomes.

Abstract
Proteasome inhibitors (PIs) are the backbone of combination treatments for patients with multiple myeloma and AL amyloidosis, while also indicated in Waldenström's macroglobulinemia and other malignancies. PIs act on proteasome peptidases, causing proteome instability due to accumulating aggregated, unfolded, and/or damaged polypeptides; sustained proteome instability then induces cell cycle arrest and/or apoptosis. Carfilzomib, an intravenous irreversible PI, exhibits a more severe cardiovascular toxicity profile as compared with the orally administered ixazomib or intravenous reversible PI such as bortezomib. Cardiovascular toxicity includes heart failure, hypertension, arrhythmias, and acute coronary syndromes. Because PIs are critical components of the treatment of hematological malignancies and amyloidosis, managing their cardiovascular toxicity involves identifying patients at risk, diagnosing toxicity early at the preclinical level, and offering cardioprotection if needed. Future research is required to elucidate underlying mechanisms, improve risk stratification, define the optimal management strategy, and develop new PIs with safe cardiovascular profiles.

Abstract
Cardiovascular disease, particularly coronary artery disease, is the leading cause of death in humans worldwide. Coronary heart disease caused by chemotherapy affects the prognosis and survival of patients with tumors. The most effective chemotherapeutic drugs for cancer include proteasome inhibitors, tyrosine kinase inhibitors, immune checkpoint inhibitors, 5-fluorouracil, and anthracyclines. Animal models and clinical trials have consistently shown that chemotherapy is closely associated with coronary events and can cause serious adverse cardiovascular events. Adverse cardiovascular events after chemotherapy can affect the clinical outcome, treatment, and prognosis of patients with tumors. In recent years, with the development of new chemotherapeutic drugs, new discoveries have been made about the effects of drugs used for chemotherapy on cardiovascular disease and its related mechanisms, such as inflammation. This review article summarizes the effects of chemotherapeutic drugs on coronary artery disease and its related mechanisms to guide efforts in reducing cardiovascular adverse events during tumor chemotherapy, preventing the development of coronary heart disease, and designing new prevention and treatment strategies for cardiotoxicity caused by clinical tumor chemotherapy.

Abstract
Background Carfilzomib and other proteasome inhibitors (PIs) have revolutionized treatment of multiple myeloma (MM). PIs have proven to be highly effective, but are associated with significant cardiovascular adverse events (AEs). No prior study has compared the cardiotoxicity of carfilzomib against other PI’s and all other classes of medications. Objectives The purpose of this study is to characterize the cardiotoxicity of carfilzomib with respect to other PIs and all classes of medications using the US Food and Drug Administration Adverse Events Reporting System (FAERS) database and to define the observed cardiotoxicity profile. Methods The FAERS database was queried between years 2017 and 2020 to identify AEs associated with PIs. Data extracted included concomitant medications used, type and severity of AEs and patient characteristics including age, sex, and time from medication initiation to adverse event. Cardiotoxicities assessed included acute myocardial infarction, heart failure, and supraventricular tachycardia. The reporting odds ratio (ROR) and information component assessed the strength of association between PIs and cardiotoxicity. Results Over the study period, 21,026 adverse events were reported in patients taking carfilzomib among 55,195 total adverse events in patients taking PI’s were identified from 6,548,048 total events reported in the FAERS database. The most common AE associated with carfilzomib was development of heart failure (1116 adverse events); disproportionality analysis revealed a stronger association with hypertension and QT prolongation with carfilzomib than other PI’s. Conclusions While they have demonstrated efficacy and revolutionized treatment of MM, carfilzomib and other PI’s are associated with cardiotoxicities.

Mortality and Major Cardiovascular Events among Patients with Multiple Myeloma: Analysis from a Nationwide French Medical Information Database. Cancers (Basel) 2022; 14:cancers14133049.

Abstract
Simple Summary No robust data exist on the cardiovascular risks of multiple myeloma (MM) patients. We used the French nationwide hospitalization database to assess the risk of all-cause death and cardiovascular events in unselected MM patients. We demonstrated that MM patients had a higher risk of all-cause death but that they did not have a higher risk of cardiovascular death. MM patients had a lower risk of both myocardial infarction and ischaemic stroke. Conversely, they had a higher risk of major and intracranial bleedings. Abstract Background: No robust data assesses the risk of all-cause death and cardiovascular (CV) events in multiple myeloma (MM) patients. Patients and Methods: From 1 January to 31 December 2013, 3,381,472 adults were hospitalised (for any reason) in French hospitals. We identified 15,774 patients diagnosed with known MM at baseline. The outcome analysis (all-cause death, CV death, myocardial infarction (MI), ischaemic stroke, or hospitalization for bleedings) was performed with follow-ups starting at the time of the last event. For each MM patient, a propensity score-matched patient without MM was selected. Results: The mean follow-up in the propensity-score-matched population was 3.7 ± 2.3 years. Matched patients with MM had a higher risk of all-death (yearly rate 20.02 vs. 11.39%) than patients without MM. No difference was observed between the MM group and no-MM group for CV death (yearly rate 2.00 vs. 2.02%). The incidence rate of MI and stroke was lower in the MM group: 0.86 vs. 0.97%/y and 0.85 vs. 1.10%/y, respectively. In contrast, MM patients had a higher incidence rate of rehospitalization for major bleeding (3.61 vs. 2.24%/y) and intracranial bleeding (1.03 vs. 0.84%/y). Conclusions: From a large nationwide database, we demonstrated that MM patients do not have a higher risk of CV death or even a lower risk of both MI and ischaemic stroke. Conversely, MM patients had a higher risk of both major and intracranial bleedings, highlighting the key issue of thromboprophylaxis in these patients.

Abstract
Mitochondria are key organelles for the maintenance of myocardial tissue homeostasis, playing a pivotal role in adenosine triphosphate (ATP) production, calcium signaling, redox homeostasis, and thermogenesis, as well as in the regulation of crucial pathways involved in cell survival. On this basis, it is not surprising that structural and functional impairments of mitochondria can lead to contractile dysfunction, and have been widely implicated in the onset of diverse cardiovascular diseases, including ischemic cardiomyopathy, heart failure, and stroke. Several studies support mitochondrial targets as major determinants of the cardiotoxic effects triggered by an increasing number of chemotherapeutic agents used for both solid and hematological tumors. Mitochondrial toxicity induced by such anticancer therapeutics is due to different mechanisms, generally altering the mitochondrial respiratory chain, energy production, and mitochondrial dynamics, or inducing mitochondrial oxidative/nitrative stress, eventually culminating in cell death. The present review summarizes key mitochondrial processes mediating the cardiotoxic effects of anti-neoplastic drugs, with a specific focus on anthracyclines (ANTs), receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitors (RTKIs) and proteasome inhibitors (PIs).

[PMID: 34869663 PMCID: PMC8634844 DOI: 10.3389/fcvm.2021.753918] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/05/2021] [Accepted: 10/13/2021] [Indexed: 12/18/2022] Open
Abstract
Background: Arrhythmias are common cardiovascular complications in multiple myeloma (MM) patients and are related to a poor prognosis. Objective: This study aimed to assess the burden of arrhythmias and their prognostic value in patients with MM. Methods: This was a retrospective study of patients with MM between January 2015 and April 2020 at the First Affiliated Hospital of Xi'an Jiaotong University. The incidence of arrhythmia and associated risk factors were evaluated. The relationship between the type of arrhythmia and survival was analyzed. Results: A total of 319 patients with MM were identified, and 48.0% (153/319) had arrhythmias. The most common type of arrhythmia was sinus tachycardia (ST) (15.0%, 48/319), followed by sinus bradycardia (SB) (14.4%, 46/319), premature atrial contractions (PACs) (6.3%, 20/319), conduction disorders (CDs) (6.0%, 19/319), atrial fibrillation (AF) (6.0%, 19/319), premature ventricular contractions (PVCs) (4.4%, 14/319) and paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia (PSVT) (0.6%, 2/319). The patients with arrhythmias had higher levels of log NT-proBNP and creatinine, greater bortezomib use, and a higher incidence of diabetes than those without arrhythmias (P < 0.05). The all-cause mortality rates of patients without arrhythmias and those with AF, ST, PACs, CDs, SB, and PVCs were 50.6% (84/166), 73.7% (14/19), 60.4% (29/48), 60.0% (12/20), 52.6% (10/19), 34.8% (16/46), and 28.6% (4/14), respectively. In a subgroup analysis of patients experiencing different types of arrhythmias, patients with SB had lower all-cause mortality than patients with AF (P < 0.01). Univariate and multivariate Cox analyses showed that there was a positive statistically significant association between SB and survival (HR: 0.592 [0.352–0.998], P = 0.049) in a subgroup analysis of different arrhythmias. Conclusions: Patients with MM had a heavy arrhythmia burden, and in this study, approximately half of MM patients had arrhythmias. MM patients with SB were associated with lower all-cause mortality than those with AF. SB might be an independent positive factor for prognosis.

Abstract
The prognosis has improved remarkably in recent years with the development of cancer treatment. With the increase in the number of cancer survivors, complications of cardiovascular disease have become a problem. Therefore, the field of onco-cardiology has been attracting attention. The field of onco-cardiology covers a wide range of areas. In the past, cardiac dysfunction caused by cardiotoxic drug therapies such as doxorubicin (Adriamycin) was the most common cause of cardiac dysfunction, but nowadays, cardiovascular complications caused by aging cancer survivors, atherosclerotic disease in cardiovascular risk carriers, thromboembolism, and new drugs (e.g., myocarditis caused by immune checkpoint inhibitors and hypertension caused by angiogenesis) are becoming more common. In this review, we summarize the latest findings of cardiotoxicity of cancer therapy, appropriate treatment and prevention, and cardiovascular complications of novel chemotherapy, which will increase in demand in the near future.

Abstract
Carfilzomib is the second proteasome inhibitor approved for relapsed multiple myeloma. Since its approval in 2012, carfilzomib has been an active and versatile drug, based on its efficacy as a single agent; superiority as a doublet with dexamethasone compared with bortezomib and dexamethasone; and as a partner in diverse three drug combinations such as with lenalidomide or daratumumab. While it has an established place in relapsed disease, clinicians should be aware of its cardiovascular and renal adverse event profile, which is manageable, in order to optimize outcomes. This review will provide a perspective on the current and future role of carfilzomib in relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma.

Abstract
The evolution of cancer treatment and development of new classes of anticancer therapies have continued to revolutionize the field of oncology. New therapies including targeted agents, immunotherapies, and adoptive cell transfer have allowed for exciting survival benefit progress for patients. However, the novel nature of these therapies as well as the longer survival periods of patients receiving them has highlighted the various side effects of anticancer therapies. Cardiotoxicity has emerged as a major side effect of anticancer treatment and can present both acutely during treatment and chronically even years after treatment has been completed. This work compiles the cardiotoxic side effects of various chemotherapeutic and targeted anticancer therapies and their management.

Abstract
The pathophysiology of hypertension and cancer are intertwined. Hypertension has been associated with an increased likelihood of developing certain cancers and with higher cancer-related mortality. Moreover, various anticancer therapies have been reported to cause new elevated blood pressure or worsening of previously well-controlled hypertension. Hypertension is a well-established risk factor for the development of cardiovascular disease, which is rapidly emerging as one of the leading causes of death and disability in patients with cancer. In this review, we discuss the relationship between hypertension and cancer and the role that hypertension plays in exacerbating the risk for anthracycline- and trastuzumab-induced cardiomyopathy. We then review the common cancer therapies that have been associated with the development of hypertension, including VEGF inhibitors, small molecule tyrosine kinase inhibitors, proteasome inhibitors, alkylating agents, glucocorticoids, and immunosuppressive agents. When available, we present strategies for blood pressure management for each drug class. Finally, we discuss blood pressure goals for patients with cancer and strategies for assessment and management. It is of utmost importance to maintain optimal blood pressure control in the oncologic patient to reduce the risk of chemotherapy-induced cardiotoxicity and to decrease the risk of long-term cardiovascular disease.

Abstract
The development of a wide range of novel antineoplastic therapies has improved the prognosis for patients with a wide range of malignancies, which has increased the number of cancer survivors substantially. Despite the oncological benefit, cancer survivors are exposed to short- and long-term adverse cardiovascular toxicities associated with anticancer therapies. Systemic hypertension, the most common comorbidity among cancer patients, is a major contributor to the increased risk for developing these adverse cardiovascular events. Cancer and hypertension have common risk factors, have overlapping pathophysiological mechanisms and hypertension may also be a risk factor for some tumor types. Many cancer therapies have prohypertensive effects. Although some of the mechanisms by which these antineoplastic agents lead to hypertension have been characterized, further preclinical and clinical studies are required to investigate the exact pathophysiology and the optimal management of hypertension associated with anticancer therapy. In this way, monitoring and management of hypertension before, during, and after cancer treatment can be improved to minimize cardiovascular risks. This is vital to optimize cardiovascular health in patients with cancer and survivors, and to ensure that advances in terms of cancer survivorship do not come at the expense of increased cardiovascular toxicities.

Abstract
Cardiotoxicity is the umbrella term for cardiovascular side effects of cancer therapies. The most widely recognized phenotype is left ventricular dysfunction, but cardiotoxicity can manifest as arrhythmogenic, vascular, myocarditic and hypertensive toxicities. Hypertension has long been regarded as one of the most prevalent and modifiable cardiovascular risk factors in the general population, but its relevance during the cancer treatment journey may be underestimated. Hypertensive cardiotoxicity occurs de novo in a substantial proportion of treated cancer patients. The pathology is incompletely characterized—natriuresis and renin angiotensin system interactions play a role particularly in conventional treatments, but in novel therapies endothelial dysfunction and the interaction between the cancer and cardiac kinome are implicated. There exists a treatment paradox in that a significant hypertensive response not only mandates anti-hypertensive treatment, but in fact, in certain cancer treatment scenarios, hypertension is a predictor of cancer treatment efficacy and response. In this comprehensive review of over 80,000 patients, we explored the epidemiology, incidence, and mechanistic pathophysiology of hypertensive cardiotoxicity in adjunct, conventional chemotherapy, and novel cancer treatments. Conventional chemotherapy, adjunct treatments, and novel targeted therapies collectively caused new onset hypertension in 33–68% of treated patients. The incidence of hypertensive cardiotoxicity across twenty common novel therapies for any grade hypertension ranged from 4% (imatinib) to 68% (lenvatinib), and high grade 3 or 4 hypertension in <1% (imatinib) to 42% (lenvatinib). The weighted average effect was all-grade hypertension in 24% and grade 3 or 4 hypertension in 8%.

Abstract
Simple Summary Multiple myeloma (MM) is a still uncurable tumor of mainly elderly patients originating from the terminally differentiated B cells. Introduction to the treatment of MM patients of a new class of drugs called proteasome inhibitors (bortezomib followed by carfilzomib and ixazomib) significantly improved disease control. Proteasome inhibitors interfere with the major mechanism of protein degradation in a cell leading to the severe imbalance in the protein turnover that is deadly to MM cells. Currently, these drugs are the mainstream of MM therapy but are also associated with an increased rate of the injuries to multiple organs and tissues. In this review, we summarize the current knowledge on the molecular mechanisms of the first-in-class proteasome inhibitor bortezomib-induced disturbances in the function of peripheral nerves and cardiac and skeletal muscle. Abstract The overall approach to the treatment of multiple myeloma (MM) has undergone several changes during the past decade. and proteasome inhibitors (PIs) including bortezomib, carfilzomib, and ixazomib have considerably improved the outcomes in affected patients. The first-in-class selective PI bortezomib has been initially approved for the refractory forms of the disease but has now become, in combination with other drugs, the backbone of the frontline therapy for newly diagnosed MM patients, as well as in the maintenance therapy and relapsed/refractory setting. Despite being among the most widely used and highly effective agents for MM, bortezomib can induce adverse events that potentially lead to early discontinuation of the therapy with negative effects on the quality of life and outcome of the patients. Although peripheral neuropathy and myelosuppression have been recognized as the most relevant bortezomib-related adverse effects, cardiac and skeletal muscle toxicities are relatively common in MM treated patients, but they have received much less attention. Here we review the neuromuscular and cardiovascular side effects of bortezomib. focusing on the molecular mechanisms underlying its toxicity. We also discuss our preliminary data on the effects of bortezomib on skeletal muscle tissue in mice receiving the drug.

Abstract
Cancer is one of the leading causes of death worldwide. During the last few decades prognosis has improved dramatically and patients are living longer and suffering long-term cardiovascular consequences of chemotherapeutic agents. Cardiovascular disease is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in cancer survivors second only to recurrent cancer. In some types of cancer, cardiovascular disease is a more common cause of death than the cancer itself. This has led to a new sub-specialty of cardiology coined cardio-oncology to manage this specific population. Hypertension is one of the most common cardiovascular disease seen in this cohort. The aetiology of hypertension in cardio-oncology is complex and multifactorial based on the type of chemotherapy, type of malignancy and intrinsic patient factors such as age and pre-existing comorbidities. A variety of different oncological treatments have been implicated in causing hypertension. The effect can be transient whilst undergoing treatment or can be delayed occurring decades after treatment. A tailored management plan is recommended given the plethora of agents and their differing underlying mechanisms and speed of this mechanism in causing hypertension. Management by a multidisciplinary team consisting of oncology, general practice and cardiology is advised. There are currently no trials comparing antihypertensives in this specific cohort of patients. In the absence of evidence demonstrating otherwise, hypertension in cardio-oncology should be managed utilising the same treatment guidelines for the general population.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cardio-oncology aims to mitigate adverse cardiovascular manifestations in cancer survivors, but treatment-induced hypertension or aggravated hypertension has received less attention in these high cardiovascular risk patients. METHODS In this systematic review, we searched literature for contemporary data on the prevalence, pathophysiologic mechanisms, treatment implications and preventive strategies of hypertension in patients under antineoplastic therapy. RESULTS Several classes of antineoplastic drugs, including mainly vascular endothelial growth factor inhibitors, proteasome inhibitors, cisplatin derivatives, corticosteroids or radiation therapy were consistently associated with increased odds for new-onset hypertension or labile hypertensive status in previous controlled patients. Moreover, hypertension constitutes a major risk factor for chemotherapy-induced cardiotoxicity, which is the most serious cardiovascular adverse effect of antineoplastic therapy. Despite the heterogeneity of pooled studies, the pro-hypertensive profile of examined drug classes could be attributed to common structural and functional disorders. Importantly, certain antihypertensive drugs are considered to be more effective in the management of hypertension in this population and may partially attenuate indirect complications of cancer treatment, such as progressive development of cardiomyopathy and/or cardiovascular death. Nonpharmacological approaches to alleviate hypertension in cancer patients are also described, albeit adjudicated as less effective in general. CONCLUSION A growing body of evidence suggests that multiple antineoplastic agents increase the rate of progression of hypertension. Physicians need to balance the life-saving cancer treatment and the inflated risk of adverse cardiovascular events due to suboptimal management of hypertension in order to achieve improved clinical outcomes and sustained survival for their patients.

Abstract
The incidence of bortezomib-induced neuropathic pain hampers the progress of therapy for neoplasia and also negatively affects the quality of life of patients. However, the molecular mechanism underlying bortezomib-induced neuropathic pain remains unknown. In this study, we found that the application of bortezomib significantly increased the expression of GATA-binding protein 3 (GATA3) in the spinal dorsal horn, and intrathecal administration of GATA3 siRNA attenuated mechanical allodynia. Furthermore, chromatin immunoprecipitation sequencing showed that bortezomib treatment induced the redistribution of GATA3 to transcriptional relevant regions. Notably, combined with the results of mRNA microarray, we found that C–C motif chemokine ligand 21 (CCL21) had an increased GATA3 binding and upregulated mRNA expression in the dorsal horn after bortezomib treatment. Next, we found that bortezomib treatment induced CCL21 upregulation in the spinal neurons, which was significantly reduced upon GATA3 silencing. Blockade of CCL21 using the neutralizing antibody or special siRNA ameliorated mechanical allodynia induced by bortezomib. In addition, bortezomib treatment increased the acetylation of histone H3 and the interaction between GATA3 and CREB-binding protein. GATA3 siRNA suppressed the CCL21 upregulation by decreasing the acetylation of histone H3. Together, these results suggested that activation of GATA3 mediated the epigenetic upregulation of CCL21 in dorsal horn neurons, which contributed to the bortezomib-induced neuropathic pain.

Abstract
Several cancer treatments cause cardiotoxicity that can lead to heart failure, coronary artery disease, arrhythmia, and pericardial disease. In this review, representative cases of heart failure following cardiotoxicity caused by trastuzumab, anthracycline, and hematopoietic stem cell transplantation are described with case notes. Additionally, other important points regarding cardiotoxicity related to heart failure are reported. During and after potentially cardiotoxic therapy, periodic cardiac examinations are recommended to detect any cardiovascular disorders; these are ameliorated if appropriately diagnosed at an earlier stage. It is important for cardiologists and oncologists to understand the pathophysiology of representative cardiovascular disease cases following cancer treatment.

Abstract
Although the benefit of updated therapeutic regimens, including bortezomib, on the survival of immunoglobulin light chain (AL) amyloidosis patients with heart failure (HF) has been reported, predictors of mortality in the patients treated with the updated therapy remain unclear. We retrospectively enrolled AL amyloidosis patients who had severe HF at the time of diagnosis and received the updated therapy, including bortezomib (n = 19, 61 ± 6 years old, 68% male). Severe HF was defined as the presence of both NYHA functional class III or IV and BNP > 200 pg/ml or NT-pro-BNP > 900 pg/ml. One-year mortality rate during follow-up after commencement of the treatment was 37%. Left ventricular morphological parameters and indexes of left ventricular diastolic function on admission were similar in the non-survivors and survivors. However, non-survivors had higher incidences of atrial fibrillation and ventricular tachycardia, higher serum total bilirubin levels (1.34 ± 0.55 vs. 0.61 ± 0.29 mg/dl), higher right atrial volume index (RAVI 49.7 ± 29.9 vs. 27.3 ± 6.8 ml/m2), lower tricuspid annular peak velocities during systole (RVs' 8.0 ± 1.8 vs. 11.6 ± 3.7 cm/sec) and late diastole (RVa' 3.4 ± 0.9 vs. 11.4 ± 5.3 cm/sec), and larger inferior vena cava dimension (22.7 ± 6.4 vs. 16.3 ± 4.9 mm) than those in survivors. Kaplan-Meier curve analyses showed that larger RAVI and lower RVs' and RVa', but not left ventricular systolic/diastolic dysfunction, predicted higher mortality during 1-year follow-up. The present results suggest that the presence of right-sided heart abnormality on admission is associated with high 1-year mortality in AL amyloidosis patients with severe HF under the updated therapeutic regimens.

Abstract
The practice of choosing the next best therapy for patients with relapsed and/or refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM) is becoming increasingly complex. There is no clear consensus regarding the best treatment sequence for RRMM. With the approval of novel proteasome inhibitors (ixazomib and carfilzomib), immunomodulatory agents (pomalidomide), monoclonal antibodies (daratumumab and elotuzumab), and other targeted therapies, multiple combination regimens utilizing these agents are being studied with the goal of enhancing disease control, prolonging progression-free survival, and improving overall survival. We, herein, describe a review of FDA-approved regimens for RRMM patients and offer a paradigm in selecting subsequent treatment regimens, focusing on patient specific morbidity, treatment toxicity, and disease-specific characteristics.

Abstract
PURPOSE Cardiovascular adverse events (CVAEs) can occur during proteasome inhibitor (PI) therapy. We conducted a prospective, observational, multi-institutional study to define risk factors and outcomes in patients with multiple myeloma (MM) receiving PIs. PATIENTS AND METHODS Patients with relapsed MM initiating carfilzomib- or bortezomib-based therapy underwent baseline assessments and repeated assessments at regular intervals over 6 months, including cardiac biomarkers (troponin I or T, brain natriuretic peptide [BNP], and N-terminal proBNP), ECG, and echocardiography. Monitoring occurred over 18 months for development of CVAEs. RESULTS Of 95 patients enrolled, 65 received carfilzomib and 30 received bortezomib, with median 25 months of follow-up. Sixty-four CVAEs occurred, with 55% grade 3 or greater in severity. CVAEs occurred in 51% of patients treated with carfilzomib and 17% of those treated with bortezomib (P = .002). Median time to first CVAE from treatment start was 31 days, and 86% occurred within the first 3 months. Patients receiving carfilzomib-based therapy with a baseline elevated BNP level higher than 100 pg/mL or N-terminal proBNP level higher than 125 pg/mL had increased risk for CVAE (odds ratio, 10.8; P < .001). Elevated natriuretic peptides occurring mid-first cycle of treatment with carfilzomib were associated with a substantially higher risk of CVAEs (odds ratio, 36.0; P < .001). Patients who experienced a CVAE had inferior progression-free survival (log-rank P = .01) and overall survival (log-rank P < .001). PI therapy was safely resumed in 89% of patients, although 41% required chemotherapy modifications. CONCLUSION CVAEs are common during PI therapy for relapsed MM, especially with carfilzomib, particularly within the first 3 months of therapy. CVAEs were associated with worse overall outcomes, but usually, discontinuation of therapy was not required. Natriuretic peptides were highly predictive of CVAEs; however, validation of this finding is necessary before uniform incorporation into the routine management of patients receiving carfilzomib.

Abstract
Cardiotoxic effects from cancer therapy are a major cause of morbidity during cancer treatment. Unexpected toxicity can occur during treatment and/or after completion of therapy, into the time of cancer survivorship. While older drugs such as anthracyclines have well-known cardiotoxic effects, newer drugs such as tyrosine kinase inhibitors, proteasome inhibitors, and immunotherapies also can cause diverse cardiovascular and metabolic complications. Human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes (hiPSC-CMs) are increasingly being used as instruments for disease modelling, drug discovery, and mechanistic toxicity studies. Promising results with hiPSC-CM chemotherapy studies are raising hopes for improving cancer therapies through personalized medicine and safer drug development. Here, we review the cardiotoxicity profiles of common chemotherapeutic agents as well as efforts to model them in vitro using hiPSC-CMs.

Abstract
The proteasome inhibitors bortezomib, carfilzomib, and ixazomib, which are used in the treatment of multiple myeloma have greatly improved response rates. Several other proteasome inhibitors, including delanzomib and oprozomib, are in clinical trials. Carfilzomib and oprozomib are epoxyketones that form an irreversible bond with the 20S proteasome, whereas bortezomib, ixazomib, and delanzomib are boronic acids that form slowly reversible adducts. Several of the proteasome inhibitors have been shown to exhibit specific cardiac toxicities. A primary neonatal rat myocyte model was used to study the relative myocyte-damaging effects of five proteasome inhibitors with a view to identifying potential class differences and the effect of inhibitor binding kinetics. Bortezomib was shown to induce the most myocyte damage followed by delanzomib, ixazomib, oprozomib, and carfilzomib. The sensitivity of myocytes to proteasome inhibitors, which contain high levels of chymotrypsin-like proteasomal activity, may be due to inhibition of proteasomal-dependent ongoing sarcomeric protein turnover. All inhibitors inhibited the chymotrypsin-like proteasomal activity of myocyte lysate in the low nanomolar concentration range and exhibited time-dependent inhibition kinetics characteristic of slow-binding inhibitors. Progress curve analysis of the inhibitor concentration dependence of the slow-binding kinetics was used to measure second-order "on" rate constants for binding. The second-order rate constants varied by 90-fold, with ixazomib reacting the fastest, and oprozomib the slowest. As a group, the boronic acid drugs were more damaging to myocytes than the epoxyketone drugs. Overall, inhibitor-induced myocyte damage was positively, but not significantly, correlated with their second-order rate constants.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Multiple myeloma is a common hematologic malignancy characterized by recurrent relapsing disease course requiring use of various therapies. Over the past few decades, significant advancements in the treatment of myeloma have occurred including routine use of proteasome inhibitors and immunomodulatory drugs. These have effectively improved survival; however, some also have increased risk of cardiovascular toxicity. Here, we will review the incidence, pathophysiology, and management of cardiovascular complications associated with antimyeloma agents. RECENT FINDINGS Cardiovascular complications associated with myeloma treatment are common. These cardiovascular complications include accelerated hypertension, ischemic heart disease, congestive heart failure, arrhythmia, pulmonary hypertension, venous thromboembolism, and arterial thromboembolism. Thromboprophylactic strategies during treatment with immunomodulatory agents and screening strategies to detect changes in myocardial function prior to the development of overt heart failure have occurred. Cardiovascular complications associated with proteasome inhibitors and immunomodulatory drugs are an important component in supportive care of patients with myeloma. The incidence of cardiotoxicity is high, and, as such, early intervention and collaborative efforts between cardiologists and oncologists to mitigate and effectively manage these complications are imperative. Additional studies are needed to clarify the underlying pathophysiology and evaluate effective strategies for prevention and treatment.

Abstract
Despite improvement of prognosis since approval of proteasome inhibitors and immunomodulatory drugs, myeloma remains largely incurable. The outcome of first-line treatment is known to be crucial for survival and, therefore, implementation of novel strategies remains one of the key aims of clinical myeloma research. Since approval of carfilzomib for relapsed and refractory multiple myeloma, a new therapeutic option with a favorable safety profile regarding neuropathy is available. Regarding its superior response rates and progression-free survival (PFS) when combined with other agents in heavily pretreated patients, the compound rapidly became a matter of great interest in search for first-line treatment. With an ORR up to 98% and promising PFS data, it might become an important partner in treatment of newly diagnosed myeloma.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Proteasome inhibitors (PIs) are therapeutic backbones of multiple myeloma treatment, with PI-based therapies being standards of care throughout the treatment algorithm. Proteasome inhibition affects multiple critical signaling pathways in myeloma cells and interacts synergistically with mechanisms of action of other conventional and novel agents, resulting in substantial anti-myeloma activity and at least additive effects. Areas covered: This review summarizes the biologic effects of proteasome inhibition in myeloma and provides an overview of the importance of proteasome inhibition to the current treatment algorithm. It reviews key clinical data on three PIs, specifically bortezomib, carfilzomib, and ixazomib; assesses ongoing phase 3 trials with these agents; and looks ahead to the increasingly broad role of both approved PIs and PIs under investigation in the frontline and relapsed settings. Expert commentary: Progress to date with PIs in multiple myeloma has been impressive, but there remain unmet needs and challenges, as well as increasing opportunities to optimize the use of these agents. Understanding discrepancies between PIs in terms of efficacy and safety profile is a key goal of ongoing research, along with proteomics-based efforts to identify potential biomarkers of sensitivity and resistance, thereby enabling increasingly personalized treatment approaches in the future.

Bortezomib-based Chemotherapy for Multiple Myeloma Patients Without Comorbid Cardiovascular Disease Shows No Cardiotoxicity. CLINICAL LYMPHOMA MYELOMA & LEUKEMIA 2018; 18:796-802. [PMID: 30217616 DOI: 10.1016/j.clml.2018.08.004] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/12/2018] [Revised: 07/30/2018] [Accepted: 08/06/2018] [Indexed: 11/25/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Proteasome inhibitors used in the treatment of multiple myeloma act primarily through the disruption of intrinsic cellular protein quality maintenance, resulting in proteotoxic stress, cellular dysfunction, and, ultimately, cell death. We assessed whether evidence has shown off-target myocardial dysfunction related to the administration of bortezomib-based chemotherapy for multiple myeloma. PATIENTS AND METHODS Patients aged 18 to 70 years who were free of significant cardiovascular disease were included. They underwent evaluations before and after each dose of bortezomib to assess for clinical, subclinical, and transient cardiotoxicity using echocardiography and serum biomarker measurement. Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging was performed at 3 separately defined intervals. The primary modality for determining subclinical myocardial dysfunction was echocardiographic assessment of the global longitudinal strain (GLS). RESULTS Eleven patients (7 men) with an average age of 55 years were included. No evidence of cumulative myocardial dysfunction was found using echocardiographic markers, primarily GLS (average change in absolute GLS, -1.17; P = .064). Additionally, no echocardiographic evidence of transient cardiotoxicity was found. The left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) also did not show any significant changes (ΔLVEF, -2.17%; P = .15). Magnetic resonance imaging confirmed no changes in structure or function (ΔLVEF, -2.6%; P = .54) and extracellular volume fraction (Δ = 2%; P = .46). The serum biomarker levels also did not change significantly over time. CONCLUSION We did not observe cardiotoxicity from bortezomib-based chemotherapy despite very intensive evaluation with multiple modalities. Neither cumulative nor transient alterations were found in our metrics, suggesting that bortezomib is safe from a cardiovascular standpoint for patients free of cardiovascular disease.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The efficacy and safety of bortezomib-based therapy for relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM) in clinical trials may differ from the oncology practice experience. The electronic VELCADE® OBservational Study was designed to prospectively evaluate bortezomib for multiple myeloma (MM) in real-world medical practice. METHOD Patients scheduled to receive intravenous bortezomib for MM were eligible. The primary objective was to evaluate clinical outcomes, including response, time to response, time to next therapy, treatment-free interval, progression-free survival (PFS), and overall survival (OS). Secondary objectives included safety and healthcare resource utilization. RESULTS In total, 873 patients with a median of two therapy lines prior to initiating bortezomib were included. The overall response rate (≥partial response) was 69%, including 37% complete response/near-complete response. Median time to response was 1.8 months, median time to next therapy was 9.7 months, and median treatment-free interval was 7.9 months. After 22.6 months' median follow-up, median PFS was 12.0 months and median OS was 36.1 months. The most common adverse events (AEs) were neuropathy not otherwise specified (19%), diarrhea NOS, and thrombocytopenia (each 17%); 230 (26%) patients discontinued bortezomib due to AEs. Of 689 (79%) patients without baseline peripheral neuropathy (PN), the rate of new-onset any-grade PN increased to 51% (12% grade 3/4) by cycle 8. Overall, 244 (28%) patients were hospitalized, 372 (43%) attended an outpatient visit, and 341 (39%) underwent a diagnostic/therapeutic procedure during bortezomib treatment. CONCLUSION These prospective real-world data demonstrate the effectiveness and safety of bortezomib-based therapy for RRMM and confirm high response rates and long OS for this population.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION There is now 16 years' worth of established results of various trials demonstrating the bortezomib efficiency in the treatment of multiple myeloma. Over this time, the introduction of bortezomib has been a major break through in the treatment of multiple myeloma. Bortezomib can be administered in the outpatient setting with manageable toxicities. Areas covered: A literature search was carried out using PubMed and Google Scholar. This review gives an overview of the critical role of the bortezomib in multiple myeloma and provides a comprehensive summary of key clinical benefit and safety data with the bortezomib. Initial toxicity profile has improved dramatically with introduction of subcutaneous administration and also, implementation of guidelines for early recognition and treatment. Triplet and quadruplets of bortezomib with agents possessing similar toxicities constitute a challenge. Expert opinion: Bortezomib is an important part of current anti-myeloma therapy with a good clinical efficacy and manageable side effects. Although gastrointestinal disturbances and fatigue are the most common adverse effects, peripheral neuropathy and thrombocytopenia are the key dose-limiting toxicities of bortezomib-based combination regimens. Since these combinations are more effective, with faster disappearance of disease related symptoms and anti-inflammatory effects of bortezomib toxicities were not found to be augmented.

Abstract
Multiple myeloma (MM) is characterized by the proliferation of malignant plasma cells and a subsequent overabundance of monoclonal paraproteins (M proteins). Everolimus works similarly to sirolimus as a mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) inhibitor. Bortezomib was the first therapeutic proteasome inhibitor to be tested in humans with MM. However, the combination of these two drugs for the treatment of MM has been rarely reported. In this study, we compared the therapeutic effects of everolimus and bortezomib, as well as those of a combination of everolimus and bortezomib, using an in vitro MM cell line model and in vivo xenograft mouse model. Our results showed that the synergistic antitumor effects of everolimus and bortezomib have significant inhibitory effect through inhibition of the AKT/mTOR pathway in both the MM cell lines and MM-bearing mice model. Our results provided evidence that the mTOR inhibitor, everolimus, will be a potential drug in MM therapy.

Abstract
Proteasome inhibitors are one of the most important classes of agents to have emerged for the treatment of multiple myeloma in the past two decades, and now form one of the backbones of treatment. Three agents in this class have been approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration-the first-in-class compound bortezomib, the second-generation agent carfilzomib, and the first oral proteasome inhibitor, ixazomib. The success of this class of agents is due to the exquisite sensitivity of myeloma cells to the inhibition of the 26S proteasome, which plays a critical role in the pathogenesis and proliferation of the disease. Proteasome inhibition results in multiple downstream effects, including the inhibition of NF-κB signaling, the accumulation of misfolded and unfolded proteins, resulting in endoplasmic reticulum stress and leading to the unfolded protein response, the downregulation of growth factor receptors, suppression of adhesion molecule expression, and inhibition of angiogenesis; resistance to proteasome inhibition may arise through cellular responses mediating these downstream effects. These multiple biologic consequences of proteasome inhibition result in synergistic or additive activity with other chemotherapeutic and targeted agents for myeloma, and proteasome inhibitor-based combination regimens have become established as a cornerstone of therapy throughout the myeloma treatment algorithm, incorporating agents from the other key classes of antimyeloma agents, including the immunomodulatory drugs, monoclonal antibodies, and histone deacetylase inhibitors. This review gives an overview of the critical role of the proteasome in myeloma and the characteristics of the different proteasome inhibitors and provides a comprehensive summary of key clinical efficacy and safety data with the currently approved proteasome inhibitors.

Abstract
Patients with multiple myeloma (MM) have improved treatment options, including immunomodulatory drugs (IMiDs) and proteasome inhibitors (PIs). Despite their efficacy, increased rates of cardiovascular (CV) complications occur in patients exposed to some of these therapies. While previous research has focused on identifying the toxicities inherent to each specific agent, the CV side effects may be potentiated by the combination of PIs and IMiDs plus dexamethasone. We present a patient with MM with recurrent cardiotoxicity only when exposed to combination PI and IMiD-based therapy. We also review the literature in this context, and propose a potential algorithm for cardiotoxicity prevention in this population.

Abstract
To date, five cancer treatment modalities have been defined. The three traditional modalities of cancer treatment are surgery, radiotherapy, and conventional chemotherapy, and the two modern modalities include molecularly targeted therapy (the fourth modality) and immunotherapy (the fifth modality). The cardiotoxicity associated with conventional chemotherapy and radiotherapy is well known. Similar adverse cardiac events are resurging with the fourth modality. Aside from the conventional and newer targeted agents, even the most newly developed, immune‐based therapeutic modalities of anticancer treatment (the fifth modality), e.g., immune checkpoint inhibitors and chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T‐cell therapy, have unfortunately led to potentially lethal cardiotoxicity in patients. Cardiac complications represent unresolved and potentially life‐threatening conditions in cancer survivors, while effective clinical management remains quite challenging. As a consequence, morbidity and mortality related to cardiac complications now threaten to offset some favorable benefits of modern cancer treatments in cancer‐related survival, regardless of the oncologic prognosis. This review focuses on identifying critical research‐practice gaps, addressing real‐world challenges and pinpointing real‐time insights in general terms under the context of clinical cardiotoxicity induced by the fourth and fifth modalities of cancer treatment. The information ranges from basic science to clinical management in the field of cardio‐oncology and crosses the interface between oncology and onco‐pharmacology. The complexity of the ongoing clinical problem is addressed at different levels. A better understanding of these research‐practice gaps may advance research initiatives on the development of mechanism‐based diagnoses and treatments for the effective clinical management of cardiotoxicity.
