MULTIPLE MYELOMA OVERVIEW
Mul'ple Myeloma Epidemiology
• Risk factors – Unknown in the majority of cases
– Increased with age, male sex, obesity, and black race
• Survival – In 2012, there were an esHmated
89,568 people living with MM (survivors) in the United States
– 5-‐year OS has increased from 24.7% (1975-‐1977) to 48.5% (2005-‐2011) (p<.05)
• Variable response to treatment and variaHon in survival
– From a few months to > 10 yr – High-‐risk a]ributes are thought to
play a primary role – 20% of paHents survive >10 yr,
regardless of therapy – Novel agents may neutralize the
effects of some high-‐risk features – Achievement of minimal residual
disease negaHve (MRD-‐) status early in the course of disease is key

Imaging Techniques for Assessing Bone Disease
Technique How it Works When to Use Limita'ons to Use WBXR/bone survey
• Series of x-‐rays of axial and appendicular skeleton
• Baseline & relapse • Bone lesions only seen if >30% bone loss occurs
• More accurate for lesions in the ribs and skull than newer techniques
MRI • Three sequence approach (T1,T2, STIR, post-‐gadolinium) detects MM acHvity in bone marrow
• Highly sensiHve
• Procedure of choice to evaluate a painful lesions
• Verify solitary plasmacytomas; non-‐secretory disease
• Assess spinal cord compression
• Lack of specificity reflects marrow infiltraHon not specifically bone deterioraHon
• Expense & Hme • Excludes paHents with implanted metal
STIR = short time inversion recovery; FDG = 18-fluorine-fluoro-deoxyglucose ; MRD = minimal residual disease CT = computed tomography; MRI = magnetic resonance imaging; PET = positron emission tomography; DEXA = dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry; MM = multiple myeloma.

Imaging Techniques for Assessing Bone Disease (cont’d)
Technique How it Works When to Use Limita'ons to Use CT • MulHple computerized x-‐
ray images from different angles
• Highly sensiHve
• Early detecHon of bone lesions not detected by WBXR
• More sensiHve to detect small osteolyHc lesions
• Does not differenHate between acHve & inacHve lesions
• Higher levels of radiaHon exposure
PET • FDG tracer illuminates metabolically acHve cells
• Highly sensiHve
• Assess extra-‐medullary disease; response; MRD
• Lack of specificity of findings may result in false-‐posiHve results; expense
DEXA (bone densitometry)
• Measurement of osteopenia or osteoporosis
• If comorbid condiHons exist for osteoporosis
• Does not measure osteolyHc disease
STIR = short time inversion recovery; FDG = 18-fluorine-fluoro-deoxyglucose ; MRD = minimal residual disease CT = computed tomography; MRI = magnetic resonance imaging; PET = positron emission tomography; DEXA = dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry; MM = multiple myeloma.

Clinical Considera'ons in Induc'on Therapy
• High tumor burden – Pulse dexamethasone – CombinaHon therapies with alkylators
and IMiDS and bortezomib
• Renal failure – Pulse dexamethasone – Proteasome Inhibitor +/-‐ alkylator – Renal dosing required for selected
agents -‐ may benefit from graduated inducHon
• Hypercalcemia – Pulse dexamethasone – Bisphosphonates – Risk-‐adapted inducHon
• Frail – Avoid high-‐dose dexamethasone – Dose modificaHons may be indicated
for selected agents
• Clonng or bleeding history – Assess risk of use of IMIDs – Evaluate platelet funcHon with
concurrent use of anHcoagulaHon/ anH-‐platelet agents

IFM/DCFI 2009: Overall Conclusions
• ASCT vs. RVD in pts with NDMM is associated with: – 31% reduced risk of progression or death (P < .001)
– Improved TTP and rate of MRD negaHvity – Similar, low rate of mortality
• Longer follow-‐up required to make any conclusions about OS
• ASCT should remain a standard of care for eligible pts with myeloma
• Similar, confirmatory trial ongoing in US Attal M, et al. ASH 2015. Abstract 391.

• NGS offers improved MRD sensiHvity (< 10-‐6) over FCM and is feasible in most pts
• MRD negaHvity at 10-‐6 level strongly predicHve of 3-‐yr PFS, including pts who achieve CR and those with t(4;14) and in both treatment arms
• InvesHgators concluded: • SensiHve MRD evaluaHon may

detecHng bone lesions at diagnosis
• MRI negaHvity was not prognosHc for PFS, OS during follow-‐up
• PET/CT negaHvity a�er 3 cycles of chemotherapy and before maintenance is prognosHc for PFS
• PET/CT negaHvity before maintenance is prognosHc for OS

Relapsed and Relapsed Refractory MM
• Primary refractory: failure to achieve any response to specific MM treatments, o�en 2 or 3 novel agent combinaHon regimens
• Relapse: development of clinically measurable disease or secondary organ effects a�er achieving a CR
• Progression: development of clinically measurable signs of increase disease acHvity a�er achieving PR or disease plateau
– Progression of disease is implied in the term “relapsed”
• Relapsed and refractory: defined as a lack of response or disease progression on or within 60 days of the last therapy
– The therapy in use at the Hme of progression is what the paHent is refractory to

PAN-BTZ-Dex: Clinical Management
Pa'ent management • Severe diarrhea in 25% of paHents • At first sign of abdominal cramping, loose
stools, or onset of diarrhea, paHents should be treated with anH-‐diarrheal medicaHon (e.g., loperamide)
• Consider and administer prophylacHc anH-‐emeHcs as clinically indicated
• Cardiac toxiciHes, including ischemic events and severe arrhythmias
• Hematologic toxiciHes: thrombocytopenia and myelosuppression
• Hepatotoxicity • Embryo-‐fetal toxicity • Management of adverse drug reacHons may
require treatment interrupHon and/or dose reducHons
Dosing Considera'ons • HepaHc impairment
– Mild: starHng dose 15 mg – Moderate: starHng dose 10 mg – Severe: avoid panobinostat use
• Renal impairment – Mild to severe renal impairment did
not impact plasma exposure of panobinostat; not studied in paHents on dialysis
• Co-‐administraHon with CYP3A inhibitors: starHng dose 10 mg
• Dose modificaHons for the following toxiciHes detailed in package insert:
– Thrombocytopenia – Neutropenia – Anemia – Diarrhea
dex = dexamethasone; len = lenalidomide; PR = partial response; VGPR = very good partial response. Richardson, Hungria et al, Blood. 2016;127(6):713-721

• Capsules should not be opened, broken, or chewed • ConHnue up to 8 cycles for paHents with clinical benefit who do not experience
unacceptable toxicity • Advise paHents to avoid star fruit, pomegranate, grapefruit or their juices because
they can affect panobinostat pharmacology • If dose reducHon is required, dose of panobinostat should be reduced in increments
of 5 mg (i.e., from 20 to 15 mg, or from 15 to 10 mg)

Special Considera'ons for Daratumumab
For paHents treated with CD38-‐targeHng anHbodies with higher risk of respiratory complicaHons (e.g., FEV1, 80%), post-‐infusion medicaHon should be considered (e.g., anHhistamines, b-‐2 adrenergic receptor agonist by inhalaHon, or control medicaHon for paHents with asthma and COPD such as inhalaHon corHcosteroids. ProphylacHc treatment with the oral leukotriene antagonist montelukast 10 mg the day before and again on the morning of infusion may be considered prior to daratumumab.
For daratumumab: PaHents with known COPD with a FEV1, 50% of the predicted normal value, with moderate or severe persistent asthma within the past 2 years, or with uncontrolled asthma, were excluded from trials with daratumumab. Recommenda'ons FEV1 tesHng for paHents with suspicion of having COPD, and it should be considered to exclude paHents from daratumumab treatment if FEV1, 50% of predicted.

Elotuzumab: Clinical Management FDA Approval November 30, 2015
Interference with determina'on of complete response • Elotuzumab is a humanized IgG kappa
monoclonal anHbody that can be detected on both the serum protein electrophoresis and immunofixaHon assays used for the clinical monitoring of endogenous M-‐protein
• This interference can impact the determinaHon of complete response and possibly relapse from complete response in paHents with IgG kappa myeloma protein
• CorrelaHon with clinical findings is recommended
Second primary malignancies (SPM) – 9.1% (ERd) and 5.7% (Rd) – No difference in hematologic SPM – Slightly higher incidence for solid tumors
(3.5% vs. 2.2%) and skin cancers (4.4% vs. 2.8%) in the ELO arm.
– Monitor paHents for SPM Hepatotoxicity
– Monitor liver enzymes periodically – Stop elotuzumab upon grade 3 or higher
elevaHon of liver enzymes – A�er return to baseline values,
conHnuaHon of treatment may be considered

Infusion Reac'ons vs. Hypersensi'vity Reac'ons
• Hypersensitivity reactions are antibody-mediated and can occur only after repeated exposure to an antigen
• Anaphylactoid infusion reactions are nonantibody-mediated and often occur on the initial exposure to a drug
• Cytokine-release syndrome comprises a subset of nonantibody-mediated infusion reactions associated with the use of monoclonal antibodies and immune therapies
• Clinical symptoms of hypersensitivity reactions and nonantibody-mediated infusion reactions heavily overlap and can be difficult to distinguish in practice
• Pre-medication and having an established protocol for management is the key!

Preven'on and Treatment of Infusion Reac'ons in Mul'ple Myeloma
Preven'on • PremedicaHon, consisHng of steroids, anHhistamines, and acetaminophen,
30-‐60 minutes prior to infusion. • Both daratumumab and elotuzumab have specific recommendaHons for
pre-‐medicaHon, administraHon an post-‐infusion management Treatment • Interrupt infusion • AcHvate rapid response team if available • AcHvate standing orders/protocol
– Administer anHhistamines, corHcosteroids, IV fluid, b-‐2 adrenergic receptor agonist by inhalaHon, oxygen if needed
• A�er infusion reacHon is resolved, restart infusion at lower rate as described in the administraHon guidelines for the specific drug

NCCN Recommenda'ons for Adjunc've Treatment
• Infection – IVIG for recurrent infections – Pneumovax and influenza vaccine – PCP, herpes and antifungal
prophylaxis for high-dose or long-term steroids
– Herpes zoster prophylaxis with bortezomib
• Bone disease
– Bisphosphonates – Radiation therapy – Orthopedic consultation – Vertebroplasty or kyphoplasty
• Renal dysfunction
– Avoid aggravating factors: contrast, NSAIDs, dehydration
– Not a contraindication to HCT – Monitor bisphosphonates closely
• Coagulation/thrombosis – Prophylactic anticoagulation with IMiDs
• Hypercalcemia – Hydration, steroids, furosemide – Zoledronic acid preferred
• Hyperviscosity – Plasmapheresis
• Anemia – Consider erythropoietin – Transfusion – Type and screen patients prior to
daratumumab administration
NCCN Clinical PracHce Guidelines in Oncology: MulHple Myeloma—v.3.2016.
Prevention and Treatment of Neutropenia and Infections
• Establish a plan for close monitoring of blood counts in initial phase of treatment where risk is greatest
• Review reportable signs and symptoms with patient and caregivers, including who to contact and how
• IVIG for serum IgG < 500 • Immunizations:
– Poor response to pneumococcal and influenza vaccines (STILL GIVE)
– DO NOT GIVE herpes zoster vaccine
• Shingles prophylaxis: – Acyclovir is recommend for all
proteasome inhibitor therapy
• Prompt identification of symptoms and institution of treatment
• Subsequent treatment may require dose modification, dose delay, or administration of G-CSF agents as secondary prophylaxis
• Treatment for fungal infections using azoles based on response and tolerance

Osteonecrosis of the Jaw (ONJ)
• Baseline dental exam prior to starHng bisphosphonate treatment – Dental procedures (below the gum
line/extensive) should be done prior to starHng IV BPs if possible
– If below the gum line procedures are necessary – hold bisphosphonates 2 months prior to and a�er procedures
• Avoid unnecessary dental procedures once IV BPs start
• There is no standard treatment: prevenHon is key – Excellent oral hygiene is best prophylaxis – Limit alcohol and tobacco use – Consider supplementaHon with calcium
1,000 mg/day and vitamin D 400 IU/day
Long-‐term use of bisphosphonates (> 2.5 years) increases the risk for development of ONJ

Preven'on of Thrombosis
• Low risk – 0 or 1 risk factor – Thromboprophylaxis
• Low-‐dose aspirin (81-‐100 mg/d) is effecHve if used consistently
• High risk – ≥ 2 risk factors – Thromboprophylaxis
• LMWH or warfarin with therapeuHc dosing (INR 2-‐3)
LMWH = low-‐molecular-‐weight heparin; INR = internaHonal normalized raHo. NCCN Treatment Guidelines for MulHple Myeloma, V3, 2016.
Evaluating VTE risk and implementing risk-adapted VTE prophylaxis is a critical prevention strategy in MM

o Mechanical – AmbulaHon, exercise is the most effecHve prophylacHc strategy
– SequenHal compression devices – AnH-‐embolism stockings: quesHonable
o Steroid dose reducHon – Decreased risk of venous thromboembolism in ECOG trial – Dexamethasone reduced dosing 40 mg weekly
• Deep vein thrombosis: 26% high-‐dose vs. 12% low-‐dose (P = 0.0003)
• InfecHon/pneumonia: 16% high-‐dose vs. 9% low-‐dose (P = 0.04)

Neuropathy General Considera'ons • Neuropathy may be due to the
disease itself due to the overproducHon of myeloma proteins
• PaHent specific factors may also contribute to neuropathy
• Treatment related neuropathy, most o�en sensory in nature, is drug specific
Most Common Symptoms • Sensory deficits • Neuropathic pain
Pa'ent-‐Related Factors • Endocrine disorders
• Hypothyroidism • Diabetes
• NutriHonal disease • ConnecHve Hssue disease • Vascular disease • MedicaHons • Herpes zoster Disease-‐ and Treatment-‐Related Factors • Hyperviscosity syndrome • Hypergammaglobulinemia • Incidence of peripheral
neuropathy in untreated paHents: 39%

Neuropathy Incidence of grade 3/4 CIPN with novel agents: Bortezomib
– Untreated MM: grade 3 = 12%; grade 4 = 1% – Relapsed/refractory MM: grade 3 = 7%; grade 4 = <1% – Relapsed/refractory MM (SC vs. IV): grade 3 = 5% SC, 14% IV; grade 4 = 1% SC,
1% IV – ↓ with weekly vs. twice weekly dosing – ↓ with SC administra'on
Thalidomide – Study 1: neuropathy-‐sensory grade 3/4 = 4%; neuropathy-‐motor
grade 3/4 = 8% – Study 2: peripheral neuropathy NOS grade 3/4 = 3% – ↑ with higher doses and prolonged therapy
Carfilzomib – All events of peripheral sensory neuropathy and peripheral motor
neuropathy = 14%; grade 3 = 1% Ixazomib
-‐ All events of peripheral neuropathy = 18%; grade 3 = 2%
CIPN = chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy; SC = subcutaneous; IV = intravenous; NOS = not otherwise specified. Kurtin & Billotti, 2013; Colson, 2015; Gleason et al, 2010; Velcade prescribing information, 2012; Thalomid prescribing information, 2013; Kyprolis prescribing information, 2012.
Management of Neurotoxicity Symptoms
• Baseline and ongoing evaluaHon – Include high-‐risk comorbidiHes
• Dose reducHon, delay, or omission of drug – Agent-‐specific guidelines – Administer bortezomib SC
• Use of various supplements – Avoid green tea or vitamin C with bortezomib administraHon – Daily doses of B6 should not exceed 100 mg
• Emollient creams (e.g., cocoa bu]er, menthol, and eucalyptus-‐based)
• Physical therapy • Stress reducHon • CogniHve behavioral therapy • Acupuncture • Pain also may be treated with gabapenHn, tricyclic anHdepressants,
or other agents helpful in relieving neuropathic pain

Strategies for Staying Well
• Eat a balanced diet • Get daily acHvity/exercise • Avoid infecHon • Avoid bleeding or clo�ng • ConHnue to enjoy things you love…
in other words, LIVE • Get enough rest • Take advantage of available resources • Ask for help when needed
Summary • Although currently not curable, the median overall
survival for mulHple myeloma has improved dramaHcally over the last decade – Understanding of the pathobiology of the disease will improve the raHonale of supporHve care requirements
• Improved long-‐term survival is the goal – Early depth of response → sustained response with an acceptable level of toxicity
• Many new agents are on the way, many will be oral • CollaboraHve clinical management together with paHent
and caregiver empowerment will promote the best outcomes and preserve future treatment opHons
