RESUMEN

Increasing number of older adults with Plasma Cell Disorders (PCDs) are receiving autologous stem cell transplant (ASCT) in the US. Hospital associated disability (HAD) is a common complication associated with acute care hospitalization among older adults. To estimate the prevalence and prognostic significance of HAD among older adults with MM undergoing ASCT. This retrospective cohort study used consecutive adults ≥ 18 y with PCD receiving ASCT at a single institution between 1/2013 and 5/2023. Trained nursing staff assessed Katz Activities of Daily Living (ADL) at admission and every 3 days thereafter under our Virtual Acute Care for Elders program. The primary outcome was development of HAD defined as ≥1 point decline on the Katz Activities of Daily Living (ADL) scale from hospital admission to discharge. We examined the association between putative risk factors such as age, Karnofsky performance status (KPS), baseline ADL score, Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation-specific Comorbidity Index (HCT-CI) and HAD using modified Poisson regression models with robust variance estimators. Subsequently, we studied the impact of HAD on downstream adverse events including 30-day readmission rates and long term survival. We included 778 adults with a median age of 62 y (QR 56-68 y), with 56% males and 55% non-Hispanic Whites. In the overall population, 112 (14.4%) developed HAD, with much higher incidence among older adults ≥ 65 y compared to those <65 y at ASCT (22% vs. 9%, P value < .01). In multivariable analysis, increasing age (RR 1.56; 95% CI 1.25-1.94, per 10 y increase), female sex (RR 1.79; 95% CI 1.27-2.53) and KPS ≤ 70 (RR 2.55; 95% CI 1.32-4.94) were associated with an increased risk of developing HAD. As compared to those without, patients with HAD had a two-fold higher risk of 30-day readmission (95% CI 1.16-3.39) and a 3.7-fold increased risk of all-cause mortality (95% CI 2.15-6.22). Nearly one in 4 older adults ≥ 65 y developed HAD while undergoing ASCT which was associated with a two-fold increased risk of 30-day readmission. Interventions to prevent HAD and its downstream consequences are critically needed.

RESUMEN

Therapeutic plasma exchange (TPE) is an extracorporeal technique where patient's plasma containing pathogenic substances is separated and removed from the whole blood, while the cellular component is returned to the patient mixed with replacement solution via an apheresis machine. Due to its ability to remove pathogenic substances from plasma including immunoglobulins, TPE has proven efficacious in the management of various disorders across different medical disciplines, including plasma cell dyscrasias, which are characterized by the abundant secretion of non-functional immunoglobulins produced by an abnormally proliferating plasma cell clone. This review summarizes the current indications of TPE in plasma cell-related disorders and discusses its application, safety, and therapeutic effects.

RESUMEN

Although there are more than 100 clinically distinct lymphoid neoplasms with varied prognoses and treatment approaches, they generally share high sensitivity to glucocorticoids, cytotoxic chemotherapy, and radiation. The disease control rates for lymphoid malignancies are higher than many solid tumors, and many are curable even when presenting with extensive involvement. Novel targeted therapies have improved disease control and cure rates for nearly all subtypes of lymphoid neoplasms. Surgical oncologists will primarily be involved in obtaining biopsies of sufficient quality to allow accurate diagnosis. However, there are scenarios in which surgical intervention may be necessary to address an oncologic emergency.

RESUMEN

Background: Despite patient interest in knowing whether diet is linked to multiple myeloma (MM), there is limited research on dietary patterns and MM risk. Two studies have assessed this risk, albeit with a small number of MM cases. The EPIC-Oxford cohort and Oxford Vegetarian study (65 MM cases) showed that fish eaters, vegetarians and vegans had significantly reduced MM risk compared to meat eaters. The Nurses' Health Study and Health Professionals Follow-up Study (478 MM cases) showed a significantly increased MM risk in men with Empirical Dietary Inflammatory Pattern. Methods: The NIH-AARP Diet and Health study is a prospective cohort of 567,169 persons who completed a food frequency questionnaire in 1995-1996 and were followed until December 2011. Healthy Eating Index-2015 (HEI-2015), Healthy Diet Score (HDS), alternate Mediterranean Diet (aMED) and healthful Plant-based Diet Index (hPDI) scores were calculated using a priori defined methods and grouped into quartiles, with higher scores reflecting healthier eating patterns. We prospectively evaluated the association between pre-diagnosis dietary patterns and MM incidence in this cohort. Hazard ratios (HR) and 95% confidence intervals (95%CI) were estimated using multivariate Cox proportional hazards models adjusted for age at study entry, sex, race, body mass index, education, and total energy intake (by residual method). Sensitivity analysis was conducted to assess reverse causality by excluding MM cases diagnosed within one year of follow-up. Results: Among 392,589 participants (after exclusions), a total of 1,366 MM cases (59% males; 92% non-Hispanic whites) were identified during the follow-up period. Analysis revealed a significant association between hPDI scores and reduced MM risk (highest vs lowest quartile, HR 0.85; 95%CI 0.73-1.0; p=0.043) (Table). In sensitivity analysis (1,302 MM cases), the association was no longer significant (HR 0.87; 95%CI 0.74-1.03; p 0.09) but trended in the same direction. This may be due to small sample size, given MM is a rare disease. HEI-2015, HDS and aMED scores were not associated with MM risk. Conclusions: A healthful plant-based diet was associated with reduced MM risk in the NIH-AARP cohort. These results will help oncologists and patients make informed choices about their diet. To our knowledge, this is the largest epidemiologic study to date assessing pre-diagnosis dietary patterns and MM risk.

RESUMEN

Acquired isolated factor VII (FVII) deficiency is a rare but important discovery in patients with plasma cell disorders with significant therapeutic and prognostic implications. The present analysis and review of cases reported in the literature is intended to highlight disease-related characteristics associated with this rare clotting defect, clinical manifestations and outcome, and potential underlying mechanisms, and to provide guidance on how to manage these patients in terms of prophylactic and therapeutic measures. The discovery of acquired FVII deficiency in a patient with multiple myeloma (MM) or monoclonal gammopathy of uncertain significance (MGUS) should prompt an evaluation for AL amyloidosis, particularly for amyloid hepatosplenic involvement, whenever not previously documented. Acquired FVII deficiency in patients with MM and AL amyloidosis is frequently associated with severe bleeding diathesis, also related to a number of concomitant predisposing factors, adversely affecting the outcome. The prompt institution of a rapidly acting therapy is crucial to prevent severe bleeding complications and positively impact outcome. Recombinant activated factor VII (rVIIa) may represent a useful supportive care measure, both in treating active bleeding and in the peri-procedural setting. However, further clinical experience is needed to optimize the therapeutic management of this rare disorder.

RESUMEN

Despite advances in treatment, outcomes remain poor for patients with penta-relapsed refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM). In this retrospective analysis, we evaluated the survival outcomes of penta-RRMM patients treated with (BCMA)- directed therapy (BDT). We identified 78 patients with penta-RRMM. Median age was 65 years, 29 (37%) had R-ISS stage III disease, 63 (81%) had high-risk cytogenetics, and 45 (58%) had extra-medullary disease. Median LOT prior to penta-refractory state was 5 (3-12). Amongst penta-RRMM, 43 (55%) were treated with BDT, 35 (45%) were not treated with BDT. Type of BDT received included belantamab mafadotin 15 (35%), Chimeric Antigen Receptor T-cell therapy 9 (21%), BCMA monoclonal antibody 6 (14%), and Bispecific T-cell engager 2 (5%). Eleven (25%) patients received more than one BDT. No significant differences were identified between baseline characteristics for the two groups. Patients treated with a BDT had better median overall survival, 17 vs. 6 months, HR 0.3 p-value < 0.001. Poor performance status, white race, and high-risk cytogenetics were associated with worse outcomes, whereas using a BDT was associated with better outcomes. Patients with penta-refractory MM have poor outcomes. Our retrospective analysis showed a significant survival benefit using BDT when compared to non-BDT for patients with penta-RRMM.

RESUMEN

Anti-CD38 monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) are commonly used for treating newly diagnosed and relapsed/refractory (r/r) multiple myeloma (MM). However, concerns have been raised about the occurrence of second primary malignancies (SPMs) in patients receiving anti-CD38 mAbs. Assessing the safety data for rare adverse events like SPMs is challenging because individual clinical trials are typically focused on the primary endpoint. Therefore, we conducted a meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) published between January 2005 and April 2022, including patients with newly diagnosed or r/r MM. Our aim was to compare SPM rate with the use of anti-CD38 mAb-based regimens with other anti-myeloma regimens. After a median follow-up of 35.3 months (range: 8.2-56.2), we found that exposure to anti-CD38 mAbs was associated with an increased risk of developing SPMs compared to the control group (6.8% vs. 5.2%; Peto odds ratio [OR]: 1.53 [95% confidence interval (CI): 1.20-1.95]; I2= 0%, p-value for heterogeneity= 0.44). This increased risk was primarily driven by non-melanoma cutaneous cancers (92 vs. 47; Peto OR: 1.77 [95% CI: 1.25-2.51]; I2 = 0%, p-value for heterogeneity = 0.54). However, there was no significant difference in the incidence of solid tumors (including malignant melanoma) (OR: 1.28 [95% CI: 0.85-1.95]) or hematologic SPMs (OR: 1.86; [95% CI: 0.81-4.27]). In conclusion, the use of anti-CD38 mAb-based combination regimens is associated with a higher risk of non-invasive cutaneous SPMs, but not solid tumors or hematologic SPMs. The increased occurrence of non-invasive cutaneous SPMs may be due to enhanced monitoring resulting from longer treatment duration with anti-CD38 mAbs.

RESUMEN

In multiple myeloma and its precursor stages, precise quantification of tumor load is of high importance for diagnosis, risk assessment, and therapy response evaluation. Both whole-body MRI, which allows to investigate the complete bone marrow of a patient, and bone marrow biopsy, which is commonly used to assess the histologic and genetic status, are relevant methods for tumor load assessment in multiple myeloma. We report on a series of striking mismatches between the plasma cell infiltration estimating the tumor load from unguided biopsies of the bone marrow at the posterior iliac crest and the tumor load assessment from whole-body MRI.

RESUMEN

INTRODUCTION: Integrative Medicine (IM) use and efficacy is poorly defined in those with plasma cell disorders (PCD). A 69-question survey on the subject was hosted on HealthTree.org for 3 months. METHOD: The survey included questions about complementary practice use, PHQ-2 score, quality of life, and more. Mean outcome values were compared between IM users and non-users. Proportions of supplement users and IM patients were compared between patients currently on myeloma specific treatment and patients not currently on treatment. RESULTS: The top 10 IM modalities reported among 178 participants were aerobic exercise (83 %), nutrition (67 %), natural products (60 %), strength exercise (52 %), support groups (48 %), breathing exercises (44 %), meditation (42 %), yoga (40 %), mindfulness-based stress reduction (38 %), and massage (38 %). The survey showed most patients participated in IM modalities, though they felt uncomfortable discussing them with their oncologist. Participant characteristics were compared between groups (users and non-users) using two-sample t-tests and chi-square tests. Use of vitamin C (3.6 vs. 2.7; p = 0.01), medical marijuana (4.0 vs. 2.9; p = 0.03), support groups (3.4 vs. 2.7; p = 0.04), and massage (3.5 vs. 2.7; p = 0.03) were associated with a higher quality of life scores on MDA-SI MM. There were no other significant associations between supplement use or IM practices and the MDA-SI MM, brief fatigue inventory, or PHQ-2. CONCLUSION: This study provides a foundation in the understanding of IM use in PCD, but more research is needed to evaluate individual IM interventions and their efficacy.

RESUMEN

Introduction: Serum free light chain (FLC) measurements are increasingly prominent for patients with plasma cell disorders (PCDs) in screening, prognostic stratification, and monitoring therapy responses. Objectives: We aimed to develop a sensitive, reliable, and accurate method for diagnosing PCDs that can notably decrease the time and cost of current methods. Methods: Here, we present a novel approach for FLC measurement using immunoenrichment on micro-affinity chromatography in combination with matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight (MALDI-TOF) mass spectrometry (MS) detection. In this study, serum free kappa (κ) and free lambda (λ) light chain (LC) levels in the serum of 105 patients were compared between the nephelometric serum FLC quantification and MALDI-TOF MS detection. Results: Cohen's kappa coefficient between the MALDI-TOF MS-based method and the FLC assay revealed an almost perfect agreement in the case of normal (negative) results (κ = 0.92; 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.837 to 0.968) and a good agreement in the case of increased (positive) results (κ = 0.76; 95% CI: 0.608 to 0.870). In Spearman's correlation analysis, the best correlation was found between serum free κ/λ ratios (r = 0.628, 0.496 to 0.732; p <0.0001). Our method showed sensitivity (92.5%) and specificity (76.3%) for discrimination between the κ/λ FLC ratio compared to the serum FLC assay. Conclusion: The proposed method can significantly contribute to diagnosing and monitoring PCDs as it can significantly be time-saving, cost-effective in FLC measurement.

RESUMEN

High-dose melphalan-based autologous stem cell transplant (ASCT) remains a standard of care for plasma cell disorders (PCDs). Currently, there is variability in the literature surrounding the timing of melphalan administration to avoid potential cytotoxic effects, although the administration has been safely proposed when given at least 8 hours prior to stem cell infusion. The objectives of this study were to assess differences in safety and efficacy outcomes between day -1 and day -2 single-dose melphalan administration in patients undergoing ASCT for PCDs. A retrospective chart review was performed at our institution comparing patients receiving melphalan on day -1 to an equal number of patients receiving melphalan on day -2. The primary endpoint was time to neutrophil engraftment from stem cell infusion. Univariate analyses were performed. Mean time to neutrophil engraftment from stem cell infusion was identical at 10.7 days for both cohorts (p = 0.88). Mean time to platelet engraftment from stem cell infusion was shorter with day -1 administration (17.4 vs. 18.6 days, p = 0.06). Mean time to neutrophil and platelet engraftment from melphalan infusion were significantly shorter with day -1 administration. Similar outcomes were observed for length of hospitalization, infection- and mucositis-related toxicities, hematologic response, transplant-related mortality, and overall survival. Our findings show no difference in time to neutrophil engraftment from stem cell infusion and a trend toward shorter time to platelet engraftment with day -1 administration. Based on our study, day -1 melphalan administration is an acceptable and safe practice.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Immunofixation electrophoresis (IFE) is important for diagnosis of plasma cell disorders (PCDs). Manual analysis of IFE images is time-consuming and potentially subjective. An artificial intelligence (AI) system for automatic and accurate IFE image recognition is desirable. METHODS: In total, 12 703 expert-annotated IFE images (9182 from a new IFE imaging system and 3521 from an old one) were used to develop and test an AI system that was an ensemble of 3 deep neural networks. The model takes an IFE image as input and predicts the presence of 8 basic patterns (IgA-, IgA-, IgG-, IgG-, IgM-, IgM-, light chain and ) and their combinations. Score-based class activation maps (Score-CAMs) were used for visual explanation of the models prediction. RESULTS: The AI model achieved an average accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity of 99.82, 93.17, and 99.93, respectively, for detection of the 8 basic patterns, which outperformed 4 junior experts with 1 years experience and was comparable to a senior expert with 5 years experience. The Score-CAMs gave a reasonable visual explanation of the prediction by highlighting the target aligned regions in the bands and indicating potentially unreliable predictions. When trained with only the new system images, the models performance was still higher than junior experts on both the new and old IFE systems, with average accuracy of 99.91 and 99.81, respectively. CONCLUSIONS: Our AI system achieved human-level performance in automatic recognition of IFE images, with high explainability and generalizability. It has the potential to improve the efficiency and reliability of diagnosis of PCDs.

RESUMEN

Daratumumab monotherapy demonstrated favorable safety and efficacy in relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM) patients in the global phase 1/2 GEN501 and phase 2 SIRIUS studies. MMY1003 evaluated daratumumab monotherapy specifically in Chinese patients with RRMM. This 3-part, open-label, phase 1, dose-escalation study included patients with ≥ 2 prior lines of therapy. Part 3 included patients who had received a proteasome inhibitor (PI) and immunomodulatory drug (IMiD) and experienced disease progression on their last regimen. Patients received intravenous daratumumab 8 mg/kg or 16 mg/kg in part 1 and 16 mg/kg in parts 2 + 3. Primary endpoints were dose-limiting toxicity (DLT; part 1), pharmacokinetics (parts 1 + 2), and adverse events (AEs). Fifty patients enrolled. The first 3 patients in part 1 received daratumumab 8 mg/kg; remaining patients in parts 1-3 received daratumumab 16 mg/kg. In the daratumumab 16 mg/kg group (n = 47), patients received a median of 4 prior lines of therapy; 32% were refractory to a PI and IMiD, and 79% were refractory to their last prior therapy. No DLTs occurred. Thirty-six (77%) patients reported grade 3/4 treatment-emergent AEs. Thirteen (28%) patients experienced infusion-related reactions. At an 18.5-month median follow-up, overall response rate was 43%. Median progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) were 6.7 months and not reached, respectively; 12-month PFS and OS rates were 35% and 70%. Pharmacokinetic results (n = 22) were consistent with other studies. Safety, pharmacokinetics, and efficacy of daratumumab monotherapy were confirmed in Chinese patients with RRMM. This trial is registered on ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT02852837).

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: The plasma cell disorders (PCDs), multiple myeloma (MM), and light-chain amyloidosis (AL) are disproportionately diseases of older adults, whose care may be complicated by frailty associated with advancing age. We sought to evaluate the prevalence of functional deficits and symptoms in a cohort of persons with PCDs and associations of demographic, disease-related, functional, and psychosocial measures with quality of life (QoL). PATIENTS AND METHODS: Adults with PCDs were recruited into an observational registry in 2018-2020. Patients completed a functional assessment and European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer QoL questionnaire (QLQ-C30). Associations of covariates of interest with QoL were evaluated via univariate linear regression. RESULTS: Among 121 adults, the mean age was 68.6. Diagnoses were 74% MM, 14% AL, 7% both MM and AL, and 5% other PCDs. The median time from diagnosis was 34.9 months. Median lines of therapy were 2, with 11% having received ≥4th-line therapy.Patients with functional deficits had lower mean QoL scores: dependence in IADLs (66.3 vs. 79.9, P = .001) and recent falls (56.7 vs. 76.8, P = .001). Patients ≤6 months from diagnosis had lower QoL (66.7) than those ≥2 years from diagnosis (77.3, P = .03). However, patients on later lines of therapy (≥4th-line) had lower QoL (62.2) than those on 1st-line treatment (76.0, P = .04). CONCLUSIONS: Patients with physical impairments and more advanced PCDs had lower QoL than those without deficits or earlier in their disease course. Early identification of physical impairments may facilitate interventions that mitigate these deficits and thereby improve QoL for patients with PCDs.

RESUMEN

INTRODUCTION: Older adults with plasma cell disorders (PCDs) experience cognitive dysfunction that may be attributable to the disease and associated therapies. Yet, this has seldom been reported in the literature. Our objectives were to describe cognitive function (objective and patient-reported) in adults with PCDs and to explore clinical correlates of cognitive impairment. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Participants completed a geriatric assessment between March 2018 and February 2020. Cognitive function was evaluated using two objective measures - Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA, cutpoint <26) and Blessed Orientation Memory Concentration Test (BOMC, cutpoint >4) - and two patient-reported outcome (PRO) measures - Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System Cognitive Function (PROMIS-CF, cutpoint <45) and European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Cognitive Functioning subscale (EORTC-CF, cutpoint <75). Spearman correlations examined relationships among these measures and log binomial regression was used to examine characteristics associated with cognitive impairment, as defined by the MoCA and PROMIS-CF measures. RESULTS: Among 86 participants with a mean age of 69 (range: 46-91), the prevalence of cognitive dysfunction was between 20% (BOMC) and 63% (MoCA). There was moderate correlation among objective measures (r = 0.51, p < 0.0001), moderate to high correlation among PRO measures (r = 0.69, p < 0.0001), but no correlation between objective and PRO measures. Factors associated with objective impairment included ≤ high school education (RR 1.46, p = 0.009), living alone (RR 1.42, p = 0.02), relapsed/refractory disease (RR 1.39, p = 0.04), empirically de-intensified induction therapy (RR 1.62, p = 0.008), frailty (RR 1.49, p = 0.04), and peripheral vascular disease (RR 1.54, p = 0.002). Factors associated with PRO impairment included social isolation (RR 3.43, p = 0.003), depression (RR 3.30, p = 0.004) and anxiety (RR 4.43, p = 0.0002), frailty (RR 3.60, p = 0.02), falls in the previous 6 months (RR 2.53, p = 0.02), and deficits in physical function (RR 4.44, p = 0.01). Older age was not associated with either objective or PRO impairment. DISCUSSION: Cognitive impairment, using objective and PRO screening measures, was relatively common in adults with PCDs. Cancer-related factors and medical comorbidities were associated with objective cognitive impairment whereas psychosocial and functional factors were associated with PRO impairment.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Study of the molecular biological characteristics of chronic neutrophilic leukemia complicated with plasma cell disorder (CNL-PCD) and lymphocytic proliferative disease (CNL-LPD). METHODS: The clinical data of a patient with chronic neutrophilic leukemia complicated with monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (CNL-MGUS) in our hospital were reviewed, and the Chinese and/or English literature about CNL-PCD and CNL-LPD in PubMed and the Chinese database CNKI in the past 10 years was searched to analyze the molecular biological characteristics of this disease. RESULTS: A 73-year-old male had persistent leukocytosis for 18 months. The white blood cell count was 46.77 × 109/L and primarily composed of mature neutrophils; hemoglobin: 77 g/L; platelet count: 189 × 109/L. Serum immunofixation electrophoresis showed IgG-λ monoclonal M protein. A CT scan showed splenomegaly. Next-generation sequencing (NGS) showed that CSF3R T618I, ASXL1 and RUNX1 mutations were positive. It was diagnosed as CNL-MGUS. We summarized 10 cases of CNL-PCD and 1 case of CNL-LPD who underwent genetic mutation detection reported in the literature. The CSF3R mutational frequency (7/11, 63.6%) was lower than that of isolated CNL. The ASXL1 mutations were all positive (3/3), which may represent a poor prognostic factor. The SETBP1 mutation may promote the progression of CNL-PCD. We also found JAK2, RUNX1, NRAS, etc. in CNL-PCD. CONCLUSIONS: Chronic neutrophilic leukemia may be more inclined to coexist with plasma cell disorder. The CSF3R mutation in CNL-PCD is still the most common mutated gene compared with isolated CNL. Mutations in SETBP1 and ASXL1 may be poor prognostic factors for CNL-PCD.

RESUMEN

Myeloma-associated bone disease (MBD) develops in about 80-90% of patients and severely affects their quality of life, as it accounts for the majority of mortality and morbidity. Imaging in multiple myeloma (MM) and MBD is of utmost importance in order to detect bone and bone marrow lesions as well as extraosseous soft-tissue masses and complications before the initiation of treatment. It is required for determination of the stage of disease and aids in the assessment of treatment response. Whole-body low-dose computed tomography (WBLDCT) is the key modality to establish the initial diagnosis of MM and is now recommended as reference standard procedure for the detection of lytic destruction in MBD. In contrast, whole-body magnetic resonance imaging (WBMRI) has higher sensitivity for the detection of focal and diffuse plasma cell infiltration patterns of the bone marrow and identifies them prior to osteolytic destruction. It is recommended for the evaluation of spinal and vertebral lesions, while functional, diffusion-weighted MRI (DWI-MRI) is a promising tool for the assessment of treatment response. This review addresses the current improvements and limitations of WBCT and WBMRI for diagnosis and staging in MM, underlining the fact that both modalities offer complementary information. It further summarizes the corresponding radiological findings and novel technological aspects of both modalities.
