Session: 731. Clinical Autologous Transplantation: Results: Poster I
Patients and Methods: We retrospectively analyzed outcomes of 237 consecutive MM patients (M132:F105) who underwent ASCT at Texas Transplant Institute, between December 2011 and June 2014. The study was approved by Institutional Review Board. The median length of follow-up was 44.8 months (10 – 86.8 months) in all patients. Censoring date was the last clinic visit prior to December 2014.
Results: A total of 237 MM patients were evaluated for presence of plasmacytomas. Patients presented either with multiple intraosseous lytic lesions (MM-IOL) without EMP (n=105; 44%); MM without lytic lesions or EMP in (n=80; 34%) and remaining MM-EMP (n=52; 22%) presented with EMP without multiple lytic lesions. Disease subtype was nonsecretory (5%; n=13), IGA (15%; n=35), IGG (56%; n=133), kappa light chain (16%; n=38) and lambda light chain (8%; n=18) for all 237 patients. (Table 1).Cytogenetics was available in 216 patients (91%) and statistically different among the 3 groups (p=0.05). The sites of EMP included the abdomen, pelvis, chest wall; liver, soft tissue, with sizes ranging from 1.8 cm 10 cm. EMP patients developed recurrent EMP after autologous transplant in 20% (10/52) cases. Fifty percent of patients with recurrent EMP (5/10) died of EMP progression.
A total of 140 (59%) patients received triple drug regimens either CyBorD (n=51; 22%) or VRD (n=89; 38%) prior to transplant. Radiation therapy was given to 42 % (n=22/52) patients with EMP and only 4% patients without EMP (n=8 /185). There was no difference in OS and PFS for patients treated with 2 drugs (VD/RD) compared to 3 drug regimens (CyBorD/VRD) for either OS or PFS. Prior solitary plasmacytoma were seen more frequently in 19% patients (n=10/52) who had EMP manifestations prior to transplant. Prior MGUS /smoldering myelomas were seen in 13 % MM-IOL patients. Disease characterisitics (p=0.0515), plasma cell percentage (p=0.0119) and disease recurrence (p=<0.0001) were statistically different for OS for all 237 patients. Disease characteristics (p=0.0751) and recurrence (p=<0.0001) were prognostic for PFS. 3 year probability of OS was 82% (95% CI, 64%- 92%), 84.7% (95% CI, 72%- 92%) and 71.6% (95% CI, 53%- 84%) for patients MM without EMP, MM-IOL and MM-EMP, respectively.
Conclusion: Novel therapeutic approaches including proteasome inhibitors and immunomodulatory agents followed by transplant can overcome poor prognosis of MM-EMP patients. Those that do relapse do extremely poorly suggesting need for alternative new therapies.
