Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Multiple myeloma (MM) is a biologically heterogeneous malignancy with relatively uniform treatment paradigms. This review aims to assess the growing role of Minimal Residual Disease (MRD) assessment in facilitating response-adapted therapeutic decision making to individualize therapy in MM. RECENT FINDINGS MRD has been repeatedly demonstrated to provide strong prognostic information, superseding traditional IMWG response criteria. The use of MRD to modulate therapy remains controversial. Here, we review the existing landscape of MRD-adapted trial designs in both induction/consolidation and maintenance settings, including recent data from influential studies and retrospective analyses. We navigate existing data, leverage the increased resolution of longitudinal MRD assessments, and comment on trials in progress to explain our current utilization of MRD in the clinic. MRD transcends traditional response assessments by providing a window into disease-treatment interaction over time. As a strong patient-level surrogate, MRD has limited current use in individualizing treatment, but is poised to comprehensively shape treatment strategies at many key points in a patient's MM course.

Biomarkers of Efficacy and Safety of the Academic BCMA-CART ARI0002h for the Treatment of Refractory Multiple Myeloma. Clin Cancer Res 2024; 30:2085-2096. [PMID: 38466644 DOI: 10.1158/1078-0432.ccr-23-3759] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/05/2023] [Revised: 01/25/2024] [Accepted: 03/07/2024] [Indexed: 03/13/2024]
Abstract
PURPOSE B-cell maturation antigen (BCMA)-chimeric antigen receptor T-cells (CART) improve results obtained with conventional therapy in the treatment of relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma. However, the high demand and expensive costs associated with CART therapy might prove unsustainable for health systems. Academic CARTs could potentially overcome these issues. Moreover, response biomarkers and resistance mechanisms need to be identified and addressed to improve efficacy and patient selection. Here, we present clinical and ancillary results of the 60 patients treated with the academic BCMA-CART, ARI0002h, in the CARTBCMA-HCB-01 trial. PATIENTS AND METHODS We collected apheresis, final product, peripheral blood and bone marrow samples before and after infusion. We assessed BCMA, T-cell subsets, CART kinetics and antibodies, B-cell aplasia, cytokines, and measurable residual disease by next-generation flow cytometry, and correlated these to clinical outcomes. RESULTS At cut-off date March 17, 2023, with a median follow-up of 23.1 months (95% CI, 9.2-37.1), overall response rate in the first 3 months was 95% [95% confidence interval (CI), 89.5-100]; cytokine release syndrome (CRS) was observed in 90% of patients (5% grades ≥3) and grade 1 immune effector cell-associated neurotoxicity syndrome was reported in 2 patients (3%). Median progression-free survival was 15.8 months (95% CI, 11.5-22.4). Surface BCMA was not predictive of response or survival, but soluble BCMA correlated with worse clinical outcomes and CRS severity. Activation marker HLA-DR in the apheresis was associated with longer progression-free survival and increased exhaustion markers correlated with poorer outcomes. ARI0002h kinetics and loss of B-cell aplasia were not predictive of relapse. CONCLUSIONS Despite deep and sustained responses achieved with ARI0002h, we identified several biomarkers that correlate with poor outcomes.

Minimal Residual Disease Status in Multiple Myeloma 1 Year After Autologous Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation and Lenalidomide Maintenance Are Associated With Long-Term Overall Survival. J Clin Oncol 2024:JCO2300934. [PMID: 38701390 DOI: 10.1200/jco.23.00934] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/30/2023] [Revised: 01/31/2024] [Accepted: 03/01/2024] [Indexed: 05/05/2024] Open
Abstract
PURPOSE Prognostic Immunophenotyping in Myeloma Response (PRIMeR) is an ancillary study of minimal residual disease (MRD) assessment for multiple myeloma by next-generation multiparameter flow cytometry (MFC). Patients were enrolled on a three-arm randomized control trial (Blood and Marrow Transplants Clinical Trials Network 0702 Stem Cell Transplant for Myeloma in Combination of Novel Agents [STaMINA]; ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT01109004). METHODS Four hundred and thirty-five patients consented to the MRD panel, which included 10 monoclonal antibodies measured via six-color MFC. MRD was measured at baseline/preautologous hematopoietic cell transplant (BL/preAutoHCT), premaintenance (PM), and 1 year (Y1) after AutoHCT with a sensitivity of 10-5 to 10-6. The primary objective was to assess MRD-negative (MRDneg) at 1 year after AutoHCT and progression-free survival and overall survival (PFS/OS). RESULTS Similar to the STaMINA results, at a median follow-up of 70 months, there was no significant difference in PFS/OS by treatment arm in the PRIMeR patients. MRDneg at all three time points was associated with significantly improved PFS, and MRDneg at Y1 had significantly longer OS. Multivariate analysis of PFS, adjusting for disease risk and treatment arm, demonstrated hazard ratios (HRs) in MRD-positive patients compared with MRDneg patients at BL, PM, and Y1 of 1.55 (P = .0074), 1.83 (P = .0007), and 3.61 (P < .0001), respectively. Corresponding HRs for OS were 1.19 (P = .48), 0.88 (P = .68), and 3.36 (P < .001). Patients with sustained MRDneg or who converted to MRDneg by Y1 had similar PFS/OS. CONCLUSION To our knowledge, this first, prospective US cooperative group, multicenter study demonstrates that MRDneg at Y1 after AutoHCT with lenalidomide maintenance is prognostic for improved 6-year PFS and OS. Serial MRD measurements may direct trials to test how further therapy may improve long-term PFS and OS.

Abstract
Light-chain (AL) amyloidosis is a rare plasma cell disorder characterized by the deposition of misfolded immunoglobulin light chains in target organs, leading to multi-organ dysfunction. Treatment approaches have historically mirrored but lagged behind those of multiple myeloma (MM). Recent advancements in MM immunotherapy are gradually being evaluated and adopted in AL amyloidosis. This review explores the current state of immunotherapeutic strategies in AL amyloidosis, including monoclonal antibodies, antibody-drug conjugates, bispecific antibodies, and chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy. We discuss the unique challenges and prospects of these therapies in AL amyloidosis, including the exposure of frail AL amyloidosis patients to immune-mediated toxicities such as cytokine release syndrome (CRS) and immune effector-cell-associated neurotoxicity syndrome (ICANS), as well as their efficacy in promoting rapid and deep hematologic responses. Furthermore, we highlight the need for international initiatives and compassionate programs to provide access to these promising therapies and address critical unmet needs in AL amyloidosis management. Finally, we discuss future directions, including optimizing treatment sequencing and mitigating toxicities, to improve outcomes for AL amyloidosis patients.

Evaluation of next-generation sequencing versus next-generation flow cytometry for minimal-residual-disease detection in Chinese patients with multiple myeloma. Discov Oncol 2024; 15:78. [PMID: 38502423 PMCID: PMC10951185 DOI: 10.1007/s12672-024-00938-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/04/2024] [Accepted: 03/15/2024] [Indexed: 03/21/2024] Open
Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate the efficacy of next-generation sequencing (NGS) in minimal-residual-disease (MRD) monitoring in Chinese patients with multiple myeloma (MM). METHODS This study analyzed 60 Chinese MM patients. During MRD monitoring in these patients' post-therapy, clonal immunoglobulin heavy chain (IGH) rearrangements were detected via NGS using LymphoTrack assays. MRD monitoring was performed using NGS or next-generation flow cytometry (NGF), and the results were compared. Additionally, the sensitivity and reproducibility of the NGS method were assessed. RESULTS The MRD detection range of the NGS method was 10-6-10-1, which suggested good linearity, with a Pearson correlation coefficient of 0.985 and a limit of detection of 10-6. Intra- and inter-assay reproducibility analyses showed that NGS exhibited 100% reproducibility with low variability in clonal cells. At diagnosis, unique clones were found in 42 patients (70.0%) with clonal IGH rearrangements, which were used as clonality markers for MRD monitoring post-therapy. Comparison of NGS and NGF for MRD monitoring showed 79.1% concordance. No samples that tested MRD-positive via NGF were found negative via NGS, indicating the higher sensitivity of NGS. MRD could be detected using NGS in 6 of 7 samples before autologous hematopoietic stem-cell transplantation, and 5 of them tested negative post-transplantation. In contrast, the NGF method could detect MRD in only 1 sample pre-transplantation. CONCLUSION Compared with NGF, NGS exhibits higher sensitivity and reproducibility in MRD detection and can be an effective strategy for MRD monitoring in Chinese MM patients.

Monitoring Minimal Residual Disease in Patients with Multiple Myeloma by Targeted Tracking Serum M-Protein Using Mass Spectrometry (EasyM). Clin Cancer Res 2024; 30:1131-1142. [PMID: 38170583 PMCID: PMC10940853 DOI: 10.1158/1078-0432.ccr-23-2767] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/19/2023] [Revised: 11/10/2023] [Accepted: 12/29/2023] [Indexed: 01/05/2024]
Abstract
PURPOSE We investigated both the clinical utilities and the prognostic impacts of the clonotypic peptide mass spectrometry (MS)-EasyM, a blood-based minimal residual disease (MRD) monitoring protocol in multiple myeloma. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN A total of 447 sequential serum samples from 56 patients with multiple myeloma were analyzed using EasyM. Patient-specific M-protein peptides were sequenced from diagnostic samples; sequential samples were quantified by EasyM to monitor the M-protein. The performance of EasyM was compared with serum immunofixation electrophoresis (IFE), bone marrow multiparameter flow cytometry (MFC), and next-generation flow cytometry (NGF) detection. The optimal balance of EasyM sensitivity/specificity versus NGF (10-5 sensitivity) was determined and the prognostic impact of MS-MRD status was investigated. RESULTS Of the 447 serum samples detected and measured by EasyM, 397, 126, and 92 had time-matching results for comparison with serum IFE, MFC-MRD, and NGF-MRD, respectively. Using a dotp >0.9 as the MS-MRD positive, sensitivity was 99.6% versus IFE and 100.0% versus MFC and NGF. Using an MS negative cutoff informed by ROC analysis (<1.86% of that at diagnosis), EasyM sensitivity remained high versus IFE (88.3%), MFC (85.1%), and NGF (93.2%), whereas specificity increased to 90.4%, 55.8%, and 93.2%, respectively. In the multivariate analysis, older diagnostic age was an independent predictor for progression-free survival [PFS; high risk (HR), 3.15; 1.26-7.86], the best MS-MRD status (MS-MRD negative) was independent predictor for both PFS (HR, 0.25; 0.12-0.52) and overall survival (HR, 0.16; 0.06-0.40). CONCLUSIONS EasyM is a highly sensitive and minimal invasive method of MRD monitoring in multiple myeloma; MS-MRD had significant predictive ability for survival outcomes.

Abstract
Multiple myeloma is a cancer of bone marrow plasma cells that represents approximately 10% of hematologic malignancies. Though it is typically incurable, a remarkable suite of new therapies developed over the last 25 years has enabled durable disease control in most patients. This article briefly introduces the clinical features of multiple myeloma and aspects of multiple myeloma biology that modern therapies exploit. Key current and emerging treatment modalities are then reviewed, including cereblon-modulating agents, proteasome inhibitors, monoclonal antibodies, other molecularly targeted therapies (selinexor, venetoclax), chimeric antigen receptor T cells, T cell-engaging bispecific antibodies, and antibody-drug conjugates. For each modality, mechanism of action and clinical considerations are discussed. These therapies are combined and sequenced in modern treatment pathways, discussed at the conclusion of the article, which have led to substantial improvements in outcomes for multiple myeloma patients in recent years.

Abstract
Multiple myeloma remains an incurable disease plagued by high relapse rates. Deeper and more sustainable responses, however, have been consistently shown to improve outcomes and could eventually pave the way to achieving a cure. Our understanding of disease response has surpassed complete response (CR), because the current definitions are suboptimal, and the treatment goal should aim even beyond stringent CR, toward molecular and flow CR, that is, measurable residual disease (MRD) negativity. It has been more than 20 years since the discrepancy in the outcome between patients in CR with and without MRD has been demonstrated, and the field has come a long way from multiparameter flow cytometry to next-generation flow and next-generation sequencing, able to detect up to a limit of detection of a single myeloma cell from 1 million healthy counterparts. This review aims to summarize the current available data regarding MRD but also its potential future use as a coprimary outcome both in clinical and trial settings as a survival surrogate as well as its use to evaluate treatment efficacy and for adaptive response-based and early-rescue therapy. Furthermore, we discuss whether these concepts are applicable in different settings (eg, newly diagnosed and relapsed/refractory myeloma, patients who are eligible and ineligible for tansplant, and standard- and high-risk disease).

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Therapeutic advancements in multiple myeloma have led to increasingly deeper and more durable responses, creating a need for highly sensitive and applicable techniques for measurable residual disease (MRD) assessment. Bone marrow assays can deeply assess for MRD, but it is not conducive to performing frequent and dynamic evaluations, which may be needed for MRD-adapted treatment approaches. Recently, numerous techniques for MRD assessment in peripheral blood have come under investigation, and their integration into routine clinical practice is eagerly anticipated. RECENT FINDINGS The identification of circulating tumor cells (CTCs), evaluation of cell-free DNA, and measuring monoclonal protein concentration with mass spectrometry are promising research areas for assessing myeloma in peripheral blood. CTCs assessment and cell-free DNA may carry prognostic significance, but they lack the sensitivity of bone marrow-based techniques. Mass spectrometry has already been implemented in clinical practice in certain centers, but its full potential has yet to be fully realized. This review focuses on recent developments in these fields, emphasizing the potential future roles of these assessments. SUMMARY MRD assessment in peripheral blood is still in the development stage but holds promise for not only complementing bone marrow based evaluations but also potential for improving sensitivity.

Abstract
Multiple myeloma (MM) is characterized by the accumulation of malignant plasma cells (PCs) in the bone marrow. Despite considerable advances in the treatment, MM is considered an incurable chronic disease with a very heterogeneous prognosis, mostly depending on genomic alterations whose complexity evolves over time. The cytogenetic analysis of MM is performed on CD138+ sorted PCs, in order to detect the following high risk cytogenetic abnormalities: t(4;14), 17p/TP53 deletion, 1q21 gain/amplification, 1p32 deletion, as well as t(11;14) because of its therapeutic implication. This minimal panel can be enlarged to detect other recurrent abnormalities, according to the prognostic score chosen by the laboratory. Although the knowledge of the genetic landscape of MM is evolving rapidly with improved molecular technologies, risk scores remain to be refined as they require more time for consensual validation. The GFCH present here the overview of genomics alterations identified in MM and related PCs diseases associated with their prognostic factor, when available, and recommendations from an expert group for identification and characterization of those alterations. This work is the update of previous 2016 recommendations.

Abstract
The role of measurable residual disease (MRD) in multiple myeloma patients treated with chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells is uncertain. We analyzed MRD kinetics during the first year after idecabtagene vicleucel (ide-cel) infusion in 125 relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma patients enrolled in KarMMa. At month 1 after ide-cel, there were no differences in progression-free survival (PFS) between patients in less than complete response (CR) versus those in CR; only MRD status was predictive of significantly different PFS at this landmark. In patients with undetectable MRD at 3 months and beyond, PFS was longer in those achieving CR versus SIGNIFICANCE This is one of the first studies evaluating the impact of CR and MRD dynamics after CAR T therapy in relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma. These data help interpret the prognostic significance of serological and MRD responses at early and late time points after CAR T-cell infusion.

Abstract
Responses to treatment have improved over the last decades for patients with multiple myeloma. This is a consequence of the introduction of new drugs that have been successfully combined in different clinical contexts: newly diagnosed, transplant-eligible or ineligible patients, as well as in the relapsed/refractory setting. However, a great proportion of patients continue to relapse, even those achieving complete response, which underlines the need for updated response criteria. In 2014, the international myeloma working group established new levels of response, prompting the evaluation of minimal residual disease (MRD) for those patients already in complete or stringent complete response as defined by conventional serological assessments: the absence of tumor plasma cells in 100,000 total cells or more define molecular and immunophenotypic responses by next-generation sequencing and flow cytometry, respectively. In this review, we describe all the potential methods that may be used for MRD detection based on the evidence found in the literature, paying special attention to their advantages and pitfalls from a critical perspective.

Abstract
Multiple Myeloma (MM) remains a difficult to treat disease mainly due to its biological heterogeneity, of which we are more and more knowledgeable thanks to the development of increasingly sensitive molecular methods that allow us to build better prognostication models. The biological diversity translates into a wide range of clinical outcomes from long-lasting remission in some patients to very early relapse in others. In NDMM transplant eligible (TE) patients, the incorporation of mAb as daratumumab in the induction regimens, followed by autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) and consolidation/maintenance therapy, has led to a significant improvement of PFS and OS.; however, this outcome remains poor in ultra-high risk MM or in those who did not achieve a minimal residual disease (MRD) negativity. Several trials are exploring cytogenetic risk-adapted and MRD-driven therapies in these patients. Similarly, quadruplets-containing daratumumab, particularly when administered as continuous therapies, have improved outcome of patients not eligible for autologous transplant (NTE). Patients who become refractory to conventional therapies have noticeably poor outcomes, making their treatment a difficult challenge in need of novel strategies. In this review, we will focus on the main points regarding risk stratification, treatment and monitoring of MM, highlighting the most recent evidence that could modify the management of this still incurable disease.
