• Monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS) and Multiple Myeloma (MM) patients may be at risk for the development of second primary malignancies (SPM)

• MM therapies can increase the risk of SPM development

• The risk of SPM development should be evaluated within the context of the risk of disease progression and death due to MM

Conclusions • Lenalidomide maintenance therapy after single ASCT improves TTP,

OS and EFS when compared to placebo • There is an increased risk of SPMs with len maintenance that may

be related to prior melphalan and/or anthracycline therapies • SPM occurrence has not increased over time • Further study is necessary to understand the SPM differences in the

IFM 2005 02 and CALGB 100104 studies • The cumulative incidence risk for SPM is higher in the len arm and

the cumulative incidence risk for progression and death is higher in the placebo arm

• The risk of SPM development should be evaluated within the context of the risk of disease progression and death due to MM

• Future plans for CALGB 100104 analyses include: – dose confirmation and outcomes (TTP, OS, Adverse events including SPMs) – Genetic studies to correlate genetic polymorphisms with toxicity and

outcome – Evaluating risk factors for SPM
