Objectives

Narrative objectives1

To develop a treatment strategy which makes the most of bortezomib/melphalan/prednisolone therapy (MPB) and lenalidomide/dexamethasone therapy (Ld), we conducted the multi-institutional phase 2 study of response-oriented first-line 4 cycles of MPB followed by continuous Ld therapy to investigate its efficacy and feasibility in Japanese transplant-ineligible NDMM.

Interventions/Control_1

We treat transplant ineligible newly diagnosed myeloma patients aged between 66-80 with up to 4 cycles of MPB. Treatment will be switched to Ld in case patients who did not achieve complete response by up to 4 cycles of MPB or who are intolerable to MPB.

Results

In this study, 36 NDMM patients (median age 74) received four 35-day cycles of VMP: melphalan 6 mg/m2 and prednisolone 60 mg/m2 on days 1-4, and bortezomib 1.3 mg/m2 on days 1, 8, 15, and 22. Then 33 patients switched to 28-day Rd until progression or unacceptable AEs, while one CR patient remained on VMP. ORR after VMP and Rd was 66.7% and 86.1%, with CR rates of 5.6% and 36.1%. At a median follow-up of 34.3 months, 3-year PFS and OS were 43.2% and 81.3%.

Baseline Characteristics

The median age was 74 years (range, 67-80), 19 (52.8%) were male, 15 (41.7%) were classified as stage III in the International Staging System (ISS). Four patients (11.1%) had an extramedullary lesion, and 6 (16.7%) harbored high risk cytogenetics, including t(4;14), t(14;16) and/or del(17p). BTZ was administered subcutaneously in 33 patients (91.7%) and by intravenous injection in 3 patients (8.3%).

Participant flow

Patients were enrolled from August 2012 to December 2016 at seven centers in the Kyoto Clinical Hematology Study Group (KOTOSG).

Adverse events

Grade 3 to 4 hematological AEs with VMP were neutropenia in 39% of patients, anemia in 36%, and thrombocytopenia in 11%; and those with Rd were neutropenia in 24%, anemia in 15%, and thrombocytopenia in 3%. Grade 3 to 4 non-hematological AEs during VMP included respiratory infection (n=2), and PN, diarrhea, nausea, fatigue, anorexia, acute pancreatitis, and otitis media (each n=1); and those with Rd included skin rash (n=3), neurologic disorders (n=3), such as consciousness disorder, tremor and dementia (each n=1), and deep vein thrombosis, liver dysfunction, sepsis, and depression (each n=1). Treatment was discontinued due to AEs in 5/36 patients (13.9%) during VMP, and 10/33 during Rd (30.3%). Treatment discontinuation in the 5 patients during VMP was due to diarrhea, BTZ-induced PN, acute pancreatitis, severe anorexia, and severe fatigue (each n=1), all of which could not be controlled by dose reduction of BTZ and supportive treatment. These AEs were all considered to be associated with BTZ. Treatment discontinuation during Rd was associated with neurologic symptoms (n=3), skin rash (n=3), and deep vein thrombosis, liver dysfunction, sepsis and depression (each n=1), some of which were considered to be associated with LEN. No grade 5 AEs occurred throughout the study.

Outcome measures

ORR, i.e., the rate of >= partial response (PR), was chosen as the primary endpoint. Secondary endpoints included rates of >= CR and >= very good PR (VGPR), OS, PFS, and safety. OS and PFS were estimated by the Kaplan-Meier method. The response to treatment was defined using the International Uniform Response Criteria. After treatment, AEs were graded using the National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE), ver. 3.0.
