What percentage of the patients with
hematologic malignancies that you see have
multiple myeloma? (N = 8)
How many unique patients with multiple
myeloma have you treated in the past
year? (N = 9)
For the majority of advisors, multiple myeloma accounts for over 15% of their patients with hematologic
malignancies. A third of the advisors see 16–20 patients with multiple myeloma in a year, with another third
seeing more than 21 patients.

TOPLINE TAKEAWAYS
RVd followed by autologous transplant continues to be the standard for transplant-eligible patients. Some advisors are beginning to use KRd in
higher-risk patients as well as patients with less than stellar response to RVd. In transplant-ineligible patients, RVd and RVd-lite (for elderly
patients) continue to be the standard. A few advisors are beginning to adopt Dara-RVd, though many others are shying away from using
daratumumab in the frontline setting due to factors like cost, chair time, and daratumumab’s proven efficacy in R/R settings. However, advisors
would consider using daratumumab in the frontline setting if they see strong data suggesting that 4-drug combinations are superior to 3-drug
combinations.
First-Line Therapy
There is no standard of care or a consensus among the advisors in the setting of first relapse, but prior treatment, physician preference, as well
as cost of the treatment appear to heavily influence treatment selection. Patients are being treated with a PI and IMiD (different from the first
line or the same, depending on patient’s sensitivity to the drug) either in combination with daratumumab or carfilzomib. Some advisors have
started trying elotuzumab in combination with PI and IMiDs. There is some interest in using venetoclax and isatuximab in the first-relapse
setting as well.
First Relapse
Daratumumab is currently the preferred treatment in the setting of multiple relapses. But as daratumumab continues to move up to earlier lines
of treatment, advisors have begun selecting drugs like elotuzumab, selinexor, venetoclax, or bendamustine on the basis of more-recent data.
There is also some interest in isatuximab, provided that more data on its efficacy after usage of daratumumab become available. Despite the
interest in newer drugs, most advisors are unfamiliar and uncomfortable with the toxicities of these agents, and want to be cautious until more
data on their safety are available.

FIRST-LINE THERAPY
Topic Data and Insights
Transplant
eligible
• The majority of advisors (78%) do not believe that early vs delayed transplant impacts PFS
– In an example case of a patient achieving VGPR on RVd induction, 67% of advisors would choose to refer to
transplant, 22% would delay transplant, and 11% would just continue with full-dose RVd
• 100% of advisors believe that 3-drug induction regimens are better than 2-drug regimens for transplant-eligible patients,
with 89% preferring RVd and 11% preferring KRd
• At least 2 advisors indicated a preference for KRd induction
– For a 68-year-old patient progressing from smoldering myeloma and developing progressive anemia with 50%
plasma cells, 78% of advisors would treat with RVd, while 22% would give KRd
• A little over half of the advisors (56%) believe that 4-drug regimens are superior to 3-drug regimens
• While there is a lot of interest in Dara-RVd or Dara-KRd in transplant-eligible patients, advisors indicated they would need
to see convincing data to support this treatment approach, particularly given the cost of these combinations and the
proven efficacy of Dara in a relapsed/refractory setting
Transplant
ineligible
• RVd is the treatment preferred by 67% of advisors for transplant-ineligible patients
– One advisor prefers Rd, and 2 advisors would choose alternate regimens not listed
– In an example patient case of a newly diagnosed 82-year-old patient, 44% of advisors chose RVd, 1 advisor each
chose Rd, VCd, and Dara-Rd, and 1 other advisor chose an alternate regimen not listed
• 89% of the advisors do not include melphalan in their induction treatment for older patients
Maintenance
therapy
• 100% of advisors feel that maintenance therapy should be given to all patients
• Lenalidomide is the most-preferred maintenance regimen for patients with high-risk genetics (56%), with 22% of advisors
choosing to give Rd, and 1 advisor each choosing RV and bortezomib (+/– Dex)
• A majority (88%) of the advisors are not testing for MRD or using these data to drive their treatment selection

FIRST-LINE TREATMENT QUOTES
[On using Ixazomib-Rev-Dex in the frontline
setting] “I have personally found reimbursement for
that to be really difficult.”
[On using daratumumab in the frontline setting]
“That's a lifestyle change [intravenous infusion]. But
the subcutaneous version could change [my]
perception.”
[On the ideal patient for upfront (potential)
daratumumab-RVd regimen in the future] “I could
use it in somebody who is young and fit, with the
Dara-RVd upfront with the hope to minimize
transplantation in the future.”
[On using daratumumab in the frontline setting]
“If you're going to increase the cost of the induction
regimen so much, I really want to know that you're
hopefully able to demonstrate an overall survival
benefit or some relapse-free survival benefit.”

FIRST-RELAPSE THERAPY
Topic Data and Insights
Advantages
and
disadvantages
• 67% of advisors feel the CR rate associated with carfilzomib is its most significant advantage, while IV
administration was identified as the biggest disadvantage (56%)
• Mechanism of action was identified as the biggest benefit of elotuzumab, followed by its synergy with
lenalidomide, while its lack of single-agent activity is its biggest disadvantage
• The novel mode of action as well as the efficacy of daratumumab are considered its biggest advantages,
while infusion reactions and schedule of administration are the biggest disadvantages
• 78% of advisors said that ixazomib being an oral agent is its most significant advantage, while difficulty in
obtaining reimbursement and similarity to bortezomib are the biggest disadvantages
Patient case • Prior treatment was identified as the most important factor influencing the selection of salvage treatment
(100% of the advisors)
• As commonly observed, there is no consensus among advisors regarding treatment selection in the
setting of first relapse, reflecting the large variety of options available
• In an example of a 76-year-old patient who develops progressive disease 4 years after achieving a CR
following transplant and not receiving maintenance, 44% of advisors would use Dara-Rd, while 22%
chose KRd. The remaining advisors were split equally (11%) between RVd reinduction, ixazomib-Rd, and
Dara-Vd

FIRST-RELAPSE THERAPY QUOTES
“If they were on 2 drugs, we switch to the alternative. If they
were on 3 drugs, usually going to carfilzomib and a steroid.”
“ERd is good with me, from the ELOQUENT trial.”
“I usually use pomalidomide when I've determined that
Revlimid is no longer worth anything.”
13
“I've not done tandem transplants in my patients because in
California, they only pay for one, so you're not going to get a
second.”“I mean if that [isatuximab] was a faster infusion than Dara,
Dara may be kind of pushed backwards and we may just
adopt that.”
“When daratumumab was approved it was fourth-line, and
then it's moved to third and then second. Now it's in first-
line, and so it's like a race, like a marathon.”
“I would jump on the orals and the subcu’s faster than I
would on the IV therapies.”
“I'm more on-board with antibodies second-line for sure.
Dara combined with what was not used [in the first line].”
“[If] they relapse on Revlimid, I actually switch and just use
Kd as an IV infusion once a week. Because then I have
Pom to give them later with an antibody.”

SUBSEQUENT-RELAPSE THERAPY
Topic Data and Insights
Heavily pretreated
disease
• Only 44% of advisors were aware of the 6-month median PFS associated with double-refractory
disease; 33% answered 9 months
• Advisors were very aware and interested in venetoclax data, with 100% of them knowing about its
single-agent activity in myeloma
• For a now-77-year-old patient, previously treated with RVd induction and stem cell transplant, who is
currently relapsing for a second time after 1.5 years in VGPR on IRd, 78% of advisors would attempt
a triplet combination therapy, while the remaining would opt only for a doublet combination
– Dara-Pom-Dex was the regimen preferred by 63% of advisors, while 25% of advisors preferred
Car-Pom-Dex; the remaining chose standard dose of Car-Dex
• A few advisors have started using elotuzumab, venetoclax, and selinexor and generally see good
responses, although they are cautious with regard to the toxicities of selinexor, and are unsure of
what to expect, how to manage those comorbidities, or the dosage modifications
– Advisors are curious about using isatuximab, especially after daratumumab, since there is no
information on its efficacy post-daratumumab
– At least 2 advisors have used bendamustine and stated that it is very well tolerated
• Among novel therapies discussed, advisors are wary of using BCMA-drug conjugates due to the high
ocular toxicity and limited knowledge on its management
• Advisors are not completely adopting CAR T-cell therapies just yet, due to lack of knowledge and
expertise in that area, although there is some interest in the bispecific antibodies
• At least 1 advisor would consider clinical trials in place of selinexor in a penta-refractory setting

SUBSEQUENT-RELAPSE THERAPY QUOTES
[On using venetoclax off-label for myeloma] “We tried him on it,
and he had a miraculous response. Within a week or 10 days, this
guy was up and around from death's bed. The response lasted about
2 years. He is now relapsing again, but it was a phenomenal
response.”
[On use of monoclonal antibodies] “I've used more daratumumab
than elotuzumab. Isatuximab looks great [too]. My concern is that, the
more we use daratumumab upfront, especially if it makes it into the
first line and more second line, what's the benefit going to be for
those patients, basically?”
“I think having selinexor available is interesting. I would welcome the
opportunity to try it and see what kind of toxicities and how patients
tolerate it. I heard it's quite toxic.”
15
[On drug sequencing] “I think it's very hard. And for all the new
molecular inhibitors, and acceptance for venetoclax, we don't have
really kind of like a specific indication of which one we should use for
our patients.”
“We follow mSMART for the first 2 lines, and then it's m-clueless!”[On selinexor use] “From what I know, it's a reasonable thing. I think
as a single agent, it's probably not strong enough to really see the
price and side effects made worthwhile. So combining it with
something else would be compelling, and maybe at a dose that's a
little more [ie, a little higher dose].”
“A colleague has used selinexor as such we had our in-service, and
you talk about tying up a chair on a weekly basis for hydration and
antiemetics. It just ain't worth it.”
“In terms of the BCMA therapies, I think that the CAR T is going to
remain in our colleagues' hands who are going to have the most
experience with it in academic centers. I don't think it's going to
extrapolate to the community-based setting.”

STRATEGIC CONSIDERATIONS – DARATUMUMAB
> Daratumumab has so far been the treatment of choice in the R/R setting, and advisors utilize it in combination with several different drugs. Use of daratumumab in the frontline setting is still
relatively new for several advisors, but they are definitely interested in seeing more data on its
efficacy in the first line. However, advisors are more likely to use Dara in transplant-ineligible
patients in the first line
> Peer-to-peer knowledge exchange, education on evidence for daratumumab in MM, and additional communication opportunities should be considered
− Raise awareness regarding the ongoing GRIFFIN trial and the potential use of Dara-RVd as induction therapy for transplant-eligible patients, and simultaneously educate about the efficacy of daratumumab-
based regimens in the frontline setting in transplant-ineligible patients
− Continue to educate on the efficacy of daratumumab in combination with pomalidomide and bortezomib, in the R/R setting
− Use the data on PFS, OS, ORR, and higher rates of MRD negativity to sustain interest in daratumumab in light of other competing CD38 antibodies emerging in the market

PATIENT CASE (CONT.)
> The prior 68-year-old male with smoldering myeloma that transformed to IgG kappa myeloma, who was treated with RVd and in VGPR, elects to collect stem
cells and proceed with immediate transplant. After transplant, the patient is in CR

ADVISOR KEY TAKEAWAYS (1/2)
61
Dr 1
• Daratumumab in first-line is intriguing. But will wait for more
data with RVd backbone
• Transplant remains standard of care, although the benefit in
question if we adopt quad upfront therapy
• Venetoclax single agent with t(11:14)
Dr 2
• Optimal use of Dara – Data?
• Options of 1st line: VRd, KRd
• Relapsed: Many choices; Venetoclax t(11:14)
Dr 3
• Induction – 3 vs 4 drugs
• Upfront Dara?
• Role of Elotuzumab vs other options
Dr 4
• 4 drugs better than 3
• Elo probably still good after Dara
• Venetoclax t(11:14). BCMA ables
Dr 5
• Adding CD38 inhibitor to 3-drug combo showed superior
MRD-rate and OR
• Multiple options for 2nd line treatment: how to choose the
most appropriate one still a challenging question
• For the new small molecule inhibitors, we are waiting (for)
more data to show the specific indications for each of those
inhibitors
Dr 6
• Learned (through multiple clinical trials presented) of the
plethora of combination therapies for 1st line therapy and the
advantages and disadvantages of each. Also Zometa
duration
• Roundtable discussion on side-effects/AEs of new drugs and
how to triage them
• Developing a personalized approach to relapsed disease
with the combination therapies

Dr 7
• 4 drug > 3 drug induction
• Ixazomib/Rev/Dex oral induction
• Dara-Rd frail/transplant ineligible/neuropathic
Dr 8
• Reinforced my biases
• Transplant still worthwhile
• Costs are through the roof
Dr 9
• Consider weekly carfilzomib at lower dose
• Await Griffin study – 1st line Dara/Rev
• I don’t want BCMA Ig
• Learned about use of Venetoclax in pts with t(11:14)
