✅median PFS: 7.5 yrs(estimated)
✅Grade IV AEs: higher though compare to:
MAIA: Dara-Rd: median F/U <5yrs (shorter median follow up),death related to AEs (10%) in Dara-Rd👇
#mmsm #ASCO24
Thoughts on IMROZ
🛑baseline characteristics: will be important
For MAIA trial:
- 43% of pts >=75 yrs 👇
- Median PFS:NR was not reached (95% CI 54·8–NR) - at least more than 4.5 years
We will need the complete data

2️⃣BENEFIT/IFM2020-05
The added benefit of weekly Velcade is not (yet) reflected by improved PFS/OS
➡️
✅ median age: 73 yrs, 1 out of 3 pts >75 yrs
✅ median follow-up: 21 months
✅Deeper responses👇

Thoughts on BENEFIT
✅We may not need a quad (usual V dosing) in most transplant in-eligible patients
✅Anti-CD38 +Rd is really a great option for most patients
✅Will be looking for high risk groups and older pts to see if quad helps this subset of patients

3️⃣DREAM-7: BVd vs DVd
➡️
✅ Median PFS: BVd(3 yrs) vs. DVd (1 yr)
✅ In high-risk cytogenetic subgroup, PFS was 33 mo with BVd vs 11 mo with DVd
🛑 Ocular AEs more frequent with BVd vs DVd (79% vs 29%)
#mmsm #ASCO24
Thoughts on CARTITUDE-4 subgroup analysis
🛑This subgroup of pts remain with sub-optimal outcomes: Meaning 1 out of 4 pts who got Cilta cel earlier with functionally high risk progressed in <= 1 year
✅ Access to Cilta Cel earlier for this group is imp
#mmsm #ASCO24
5️⃣ PERSEUS MRD data
➡️
✅ Rates of sustained MRD neg for ≥12 mo were higher for D-VRd vs VRd
🛑Many pts didn’t qualify to stop tt (need of MRD -ve), some of those may do well with discontinuation
🛑Data on high risk will be imp to see.
🛑Longer follow up and more pts needed
#mmsm #ASCO24
7️⃣ T cell subsets as predictors of response to BCMA BsAbs
➡️
✅79 pts treated with BCMA BsAb
✅ Increased proportion of CD4 cells within the ALC is significantly associated with better response to BCMA targeting bsAb (absolute no. Not impmeetings.asco.org/abstracts-pres…

How to counsel patients about Cilta Cel using the data from
CARTITUDE-4 and FDA ODAC meeting for earlier use
With data of Cilta cel and Ide cel, assuming having access to both for a given patient, I will personally chose Cilta cel (I explained this before)
🧵
In the first ~6 months after we plan to give you Cilta-cel, you have one out of 12 (8%) chances of dying either of progressive disease or adverse event to Cilta cel, this will depend on the bridging therapy we will use and your response to it (planning is important to ⬇️risk)
/1
If you are able to get your Cilta cel, the risk of death in the first 3 months is 5% , most of those deaths (4%) were related to adverse events. Given the study was done in COVID era, some of the deaths were related to that infection so the risk maybe lower nowadays-esp USA
✅Phase II trial of Dara-RVd vs. RVd
✅Final analysis after all pts had completed at least 1 year of follow-up after end of study ttt, had died, or withdrew from study participation.
➡️stringent complete response rate by end of post-HSCT consolidation
➡️Very important portion of the study 👇
➡️Assumption is 15% difference between Dara-RVd vs. RVd.
Note that statistical significance can be ascertained for 1ry endpoint
Did the study meet the 1ry endpoint?
sCR post transplant
Dara-RVd: 42%
RVd: 32%
Difference of 10% only
This means study didn't meet 1ry endpoint
Now the assumption for power calculation was 35% sCR in RVd group which was actually less in the study so this is not the reason.
✅ modulator of E3 ubiquitin ligase complex containing cereblon
✅ binds to cereblon and subsequently induces proteasome-mediated degradation of certain transcription factors➡️ activation of T-cells
✅Pts on expansion cohort were triple class refractory👇
🛑Plasmacytoma was 40% (extramedullary soft-tissue only and bone-based plasmacytomas with a measurable soft-tissue component)
✅weekly Dex 40 mg (for pts >=75 yrs 20 mg)
✅phase II dose is 1 mg daily for D1-21/28 days
🛑17 of 196 (~9%) of patients who did not proceed to CAR T-cell infusion because of either disease progression/death (n = 12) or manufacturing failure (n = 5) were excluded from the final efficacy analysis👇
➡️ It is important to note that excluding pts who progress while waiting for CAR-T will not reflect the actual real world efficacy of CAR-T therapy
🛑We are adding layers of selection bias:
✅intent to manufacture
✅intent to treat
Notice the PFS/OS curves👇
To understand how problematic some of smoldering myeloma trials are, look at the primary endpoint of a single arm study that is currently recruiting👇#mmsm
🛑using IMWG response criteria for multiple myeloma in smoldering myeloma is an inaccurate assumption 🧵
➡️What is a response definition per 1ry endpoint?
All of:
1️⃣Disappearance of original monoclonal protein from blood and urine
2️⃣<5% plasma cells in bone marrow
3️⃣No increase in size or number of lytic bone lesions
4️⃣Disappearance of soft tissue plasmacytomas
Number 3️⃣+4️⃣ are criteria that automatically assign patients into multiple myeloma and should not be present in smoldering myeloma to start with = inaccurate
Number 1️⃣+2️⃣ are criteria that are assumed to be important in smoldering myeloma with no supportive evidence=assumption
