A predictive risk-scoring model for survival prognosis of multiple myeloma based on gain/amplification of 1q21: Experience in a tertiary hospital in South-Western China. Cancer Med 2024; 13:e70193. [PMID: 39234657 PMCID: PMC11375327 DOI: 10.1002/cam4.70193] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/19/2024] [Revised: 08/11/2024] [Accepted: 08/21/2024] [Indexed: 09/06/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Chromosomal 1q gains and amplifications (+1q21) are frequently observed in patients with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma (NDMM). However, the interpretation of the high-risk (HR) prognostic implications stemming from 1q21 abnormalities remain challenging to implement effectively. METHODS In a comprehensive analysis of 367 consecutive patients with symptomatic MM, we assessed the prognostic significance of +1q21 using FISH with a threshold of 7.4%. The patient cohort was randomly divided into a training set (66.5%, n = 244) and a validation set (33.5%, n = 133). A multivariate Cox regression analysis was conducted to identify significant prognostic factors associated with PFS. Weight scores were assigned to each risk factor based on the β-value of the corresponding regression coefficient. A predictive risk-scoring model involving +1q21 was then developed, utilizing the total score derived from these weight scores. The model's discriminative ability was evaluated using the AUC in both the training and validation sets. Finally, we compared the performance of the +1q21-involved risk with the established R-ISS and R2-ISS models. RESULTS Upon initial diagnosis, 159 patients (43.32%) exhibited +1q21, with 94 (59.11%) having three copies, referred to as Gain(1q21), and 65 (40.89%) possessing four or more copies, referred to as Amp (1q21). Both were significantly linked to a reduced PFS in myeloma (p < 0.05), which could be effectively mitigated by ASCT. The +1q21-involved risk model, with an AUC of 0.697 in the training set and 0.725 in the validation set, was constructed including Gain(1q21), Amp(1q21), no-ASCT, and TP53 deletion. This model, termed the ultra-high-risk (UHR) model, demonstrated superior performance in predicting shorter PFS compared to the R-ISS stage 3 and R2-ISS stage 4. CONCLUSION The UHR model, which integrates the presence of +1q21 with no-ASCT and TP53 deletion, is designed to identify the early relapse subgroup among patients with +1q21 in NDMM.

Fluorescence in situ hybridization reveals the evolutionary biology of minor clone of gain/amp(1q) in multiple myeloma. Leukemia 2024; 38:1299-1306. [PMID: 38609496 PMCID: PMC11147758 DOI: 10.1038/s41375-024-02237-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/13/2023] [Revised: 03/21/2024] [Accepted: 03/26/2024] [Indexed: 04/14/2024]
Abstract
Growing evidence suggests that gain or amplification [gain/amp(1q)] accumulates during disease progression of multiple myeloma (MM). Previous investigations have indicated that small gain/amp(1q) subclones present at the time of diagnosis may evolve into dominant clones upon MM relapse. However, the influence of a minor clone of gain/amp(1q) on MM survival, as well as the correlation between different clonal sizes of gain/amp(1q) and the chromosomal instability (CIN) of MM, remains poorly understood. In this study, we analyzed fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) results of 998 newly diagnosed MM (NDMM) patients. 513 patients were detected with gain/amp(1q) at diagnosis. Among these 513 patients, 55 had a minor clone (≤20%) of gain/amp(1q). Patients with a minor clone of gain/amp(1q) displayed similar survival outcomes compared to those without gain/amp(1q). Further analysis demonstrated patients with a minor clone of gain/amp(1q) exhibited a clonal architecture similar to those without gain/amp(1q). Lastly, our results showed a significant increase in the clonal size of the minor clone of gain/amp(1q), frequently observed in MM. These findings suggested that a minor clone of gain/amp(1q) might represent an earlier stage in the pathogenesis of gain/amp(1q) and propose a "two-step" process in the clonal size changes of gain/amp(1q) in MM.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Gain or amplification 1q21 (1q21+) is one of the most common recurrent cytogenetic abnormalities in multiple myeloma (MM). Our aim was to explore the presentation and outcomes of patients with MM harboring 1q21 + . METHODS We retrospectively analyzed the clinical features and survival outcomes in 474 consecutive patients with MM receiving immunomodulatory drugs or proteasome inhibitor-based regimens as first-line therapies. RESULTS 1q21 + was detected in 249 (52.5%) patients. Patients with 1q21 + had a higher proportion of subtypes of IgA, IgD, and λ-light chain than non-1q21 + . 1q21 + was associated with more advanced ISS stage and was more frequently accompanied by del(13q), elevated lactate dehydrogenase and lower levels of hemoglobin and platelets. Patients with 1q21 + had shorter PFS (21 months vs. 31 months, P = 0.001) and OS (43 months vs. 72 months, P < 0.001) than those without 1q21 + . Multivariate Cox regression analysis confirmed that 1q21 + was an independent prognostic factor for both PFS (HR 1.277, P = 0.031) and OS (HR 1.547, P = 0.003). Patients with 1q21 + del(13q) double-abnormality had shorter PFS (P < 0.001) and OS (P = 0.001) than those with no FISH abnormalities, and they also had shorter PFS (P = 0.018) and OS (P = 0.026) than those with del(13q) single abnormality. No significant difference in PFS (P = 0.525) or OS (P = 0.245) was found between patients with 1q21 + del(13q) double-abnormality and 1q21 + del(13q) multiple-abnormality. CONCLUSIONS Patients with 1q21 + were more likely to have coexisting negative clinical features and del(13q). 1q21 + was an independent prognostic factor associated with poor outcomes. Concurrence with such unfavorable features may account for poor outcomes given 1q21 + .

Abstract
Multiple myeloma (MM) is a biologically heterogeneous malignancy defined by the proliferation of monoclonal plasma cells. Despite the tremendous advancement in MM treatment over the past decades, relapse remains a major problem which is inevitable for most patients. In particular, a partial of patients with early relapse and poor outcomes are classified as a high-risk group. Apart from the clinical stage, genetic aberrations are now recognized as important prognostic factors for identifying high-risk patients. Chromosome 1 abnormalities (C1As), particularly 1q21 gain or amplification, have been identified as common genetic aberrations in patients with MM and are often considered unfavorable prognostic markers for progression-free survival and overall survival. However, more effective therapeutic approaches are still needed to overcome the negative impact of C1As. Therefore, we summarize the prevalence, pathogenesis, clinical significance and present therapeutic condition of C1As in MM, and attempt to conclude the precise and personalized management for patients with C1As.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The prognostic value of additional copies of chromosome 1q (1q gain/amplification [amp]) in multiple myeloma (MM) remains controversial. In the meantime, the kinetics of the response to MM therapy has long been an area of debate. Few studies have pointed out the relationship of response kinetics with cytogenetic abnormalities (CAs) in MM. METHODS The authors retrospectively analyzed the data of 1068 real-world newly diagnosed MM patients from a Chinese national medical center. RESULTS Overall, 405 (51.9%) patients had 1q gain/amp, with aggressive clinical characteristics and significant inferior survival. The variation in copy number (CN) of 1q (CN = 3 or CN >3) had no significant impact on the survival of MM patients with 1q abnormalities. No difference was found in the outcome of 1q gain/amp patients treated with doublet or triplet regimens. Upfront autologous stem cell transplantation could eliminate the adverse prognostic effect of 1q gain but not 1q amp. The duration from diagnosis to the first time achieving very good partial response (VGPR) or better was significantly shorter in patients with 1q gain/amp (77 days vs. 100 days, p = .001). Finally, multifactor regression analysis was performed to construct a new risk stratification model in MM patients with 1q gain/amp, which was validated in the Multiple Myeloma Research Foundation CoMMpass study cohort and worked better than the Revised International Staging System and Second Revision of the International Staging System (Harrell's concordance index: 0.631 vs. 0.598 and 0.537). CONCLUSIONS In the setting of novel therapy, 1q gain/amp still acts as an independent adverse prognostic factor. Patients with 1q gain/amp achieved VGPR rapidly but had inferior survival.

Abstract
Background Multiple myeloma is genetically heterogeneous, and chromosome abnormalities play a pivotal role in prognosis. A gain in chromosome 1q (+1q) is among the most common cytogenetic abnormalities; however, its relationship with overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) in patients with multiple myeloma is still unclear. We aim to clarify the impact of +1q on the clinical characteristics and survival outcomes of patients treated with bortezomib-based combination regimes. Materials and methods We retrospectively analyzed 258 patients first diagnosed with myeloma who underwent bortezomib-based therapy at the bone marrow transplantation department of a multiple myeloma treatment center in the first affiliated hospital of Zhejiang University, China. Results We identified 258 newly diagnosed patients with multiple myeloma in our department from July 2013 to September 2018. We observed that 127 (49.2%) of the patients acquired +1q at diagnosis, and +1q strongly correlated with the occurrence of del(13q) and IgH rearrangement (P < 0.001). In the patients with +1q, the PFS was 22.2 months (95% CI 15.8-28.5 months), and the three-year and five-year PFS was 35.1% and 15.3%, respectively. Univariate analysis revealed that albumin, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), and the percentage of plasma cells significantly affected PFS. Multivariate analysis showed that LDH and the percentage of plasma cells significantly affected PFS in the +1q patients. In terms of OS, the median OS for the +1q patients was 47.4 months (95% CI 34.7-59.5), while the OS of the non-+1q patients was not reached (P = 0.048). The univariate and multivariate analyses revealed that age, platelet count, and extramedullary lesions were significant adverse factors for OS in the +1q patients. There were no statistical differences between PFS and OS when there were other chromosomal abnormalities, but there was a decreased tendency in PFS. LDH and +1q also had a synergistic adverse effect on survival. Conclusion +1q is associated with a higher tumor burden and correlated with the occurrence of del(13q) and IgH rearrangement at diagnosis. In the era of novel agents, +1q still significantly affects PFS and OS.

Abstract
We retrospectively studied the impact of cytogenetic abnormalities in 328 consecutive newly diagnosed multiple myeloma (MM) patients. High-risk cytogenetic abnormalities (HRCAs) included del (17p), amp/gain (1q21), t(4;14), and t(14;16). We defined a standard-risk group by the absence of HRCA, an intermediate-risk group with one HRCA, and a high-risk (HiR) group with at least two HRCAs. The HiR group constituted 14.3% of patients and was associated with a median overall survival (OS) of 28.6 months and progression-free survival (PFS) of 14.0 months. Moreover, the HiR group predicted poor outcomes for OS and PFS in multivariate analyses, and bortezomib prolongation to nine cycles could not bring additional benefit to this entity, suggesting the necessity of more effective therapies for these patients. Furthermore, we confirmed the independent prognostic impact of amp 1q21 in this real-world study.

Abstract
Simple Summary Multiple myeloma (MM), a plasma cell neoplasm, is an incurable hematological malignancy. Gain/amplification of chromosome arm 1q21 (1q21+) is the most common adverse genomic abnormality associated with disease progression and drug resistance. While possible mechanisms of 1q21+ occurrence and candidate genes in the 1q21 amplicon have been suggested, the precise pathogenesis of MM with 1q21+ is unknown. Herein, we review the current knowledge about the clinicopathological features of 1q21+ MM, which can assist in effective therapeutic approaches for MM patients with 1q21+. Abstract Multiple myeloma (MM), a plasma cell neoplasm, is an incurable hematological malignancy characterized by complex genetic and prognostic heterogeneity. Gain or amplification of chromosome arm 1q21 (1q21+) is the most frequent adverse chromosomal aberration in MM, occurring in 40% of patients at diagnosis. It occurs in a subclone of the tumor as a secondary genomic event and is more amplified as the tumor progresses and a risk factor for the progression from smoldering multiple myeloma to MM. It can be divided into either 1q21 gain (3 copies) or 1q21 amplification (≥4 copies), and it has been suggested that the prognosis is worse in cases of amplification than gain. Trisomy of chromosome 1, jumping whole-arm translocations of chromosome1q, and tandem duplications lead to 1q21+ suggesting that its occurrence is not consistent at the genomic level. Many studies have reported that genes associated with the malignant phenotype of MM are situated on the 1q21 amplicon, including CKS1B, PSMD4, MCL1, ANP32E, and others. In this paper, we review the current knowledge regarding the clinical features, prognostic implications, and the speculated pathology of 1q21+ in MM, which can provide clues for an effective treatment approach to MM patients with 1q21+.

Gain of 1q21 is an adverse prognostic factor for multiple myeloma patients treated by autologous stem cell transplantation: A multicenter study in China. Cancer Med 2020; 9:7819-7829. [PMID: 32881351 PMCID: PMC7643680 DOI: 10.1002/cam4.3254] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/11/2020] [Revised: 05/07/2020] [Accepted: 05/30/2020] [Indexed: 11/08/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) has been recommended as a standard approach for young multiple myeloma (MM) patients for decades, even in the era of novel agents. Gain of chromosome 1q21 is a common cytogenetic abnormality in MM, while its clinical prognostic value is still controversial. Methods In this multicenter study, we retrospectively analyzed 1q21 gain in 446 newly diagnosed MM patients who received at least one ASCT from three large myeloma centers in China. Results Of the all 446 patients, 1q21 gain was an adverse predictor of progression‐free survival (PFS) (34 vs 56 months, P = .005) and overall survival (OS) (69 vs 100 months, P = .002). Gain of 1q21 was more likely to coexist with t(4;14), t(14;16), and del(13q). Nevertheless, isolated 1q21 gain still exhibited unfavorable effects on PFS (35 vs 66 months, P = .045) and OS (61 vs 100 months, P = .026). The coexistence of 1q21 gain and high‐risk cytogenetics (HRCs) [del(17p), t(4;14),and/or t(14;16)] showed poor prognosis on both PFS and OS, while no additional adverse effect could be identified when compared with HRCs alone. Moreover, when coexisting with t(11;14), patients with 1q21 gain showed a comparable survival to those without 1q21 gain. For patients treated with novel induction regimens followed by ASCT, 1q21 gain also conferred an inferior prognosis. Multivariate analysis further confirmed 1q21 gain could independently predict shorter PFS and OS. Conclusion In conclusion, 1q21 gain is an adverse prognostic factor for MM patients received ASCT.
