Abstract
ABSTRACT Mass spectrometry (MS) can detect multiple myeloma-derived monoclonal proteins in the peripheral blood (PB) with high sensitivity, potentially serving as a PB assay for measurable residual disease (MRD). This study evaluated the significance of PB MS MRD negativity during posttransplant therapy in patients with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma. Serum samples from 138 patients treated in the phase 3 ATLAS trial of posttransplant maintenance with either carfilzomib, lenalidomide, and dexamethasone, or with lenalidomide alone were analyzed using EXENT MS methodology. We established feasibility of measuring MRD by MS in the PB in the posttransplant setting, despite unavailability of pretreatment calibration samples. There was high agreement between MRD by MS in the PB and paired bone marrow (BM) MRD results at the 10-5 threshold, assessed by either next-generation sequencing (NGS) or multiparameter flow cytometry (MFC) (70% and 67%, respectively). Agreement between PB MS and both BM MRD methods was lowest early after transplant and increased with time. MS negativity was associated with improved progression-free survival (PFS), which, in landmark analysis, reached statistical significance after 18 cycles after transplant. Combined PB/BM MRD negativity by MFC or NGS was associated with superior PFS compared with MRD negativity by only 1 modality. Sustained MS negativity carried similar prognostic performance to sustained BM MRD negativity at the 10-5 threshold. Overall, posttransplant MS assessment was feasible and provided additional prognostic information to BM MRD negativity. Further studies are needed to confirm the role and optimal timing of MS in disease evaluation algorithms. The ATLAS trial is registered at www.clinicaltrials.gov as #NCT02659293.

Abstract
Multiple myeloma (MM) is a form of clonal plasma cell malignancy that associates with clinical manifestations such as anemia, hypercalcemia, bone pain, and renal impairment. Approximately 20-50% of MM patients at initial diagnosis experience renal injury, a vital complication that significantly influences prognosis and quality of life. This review seeks to clarify the multifaceted mechanisms of renal injury in MM, scrutinizing the pathogenic role of monoclonal proteins, the impact of hypercalcemia, and direct renal infiltration by plasma cells. Furthermore, it evaluates current diagnostic approaches, reviews management strategies, and highlights potential avenues for future research. By incorporating the latest scientific evidence and insights, this article aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of MM-associated renal impairment, offering a valuable resource for researchers and clinicians in handling this complex complication.

Abstract
The outcome of multiple myeloma (MM) has significantly improved in the last few decades due to several factors such as new biological discoveries allowing to better stratify disease risk, development of more effective therapies and better management of side effects related to them. However, handling all these aspects requires an interdisciplinary approach involving multiple knowledge and collaboration of different specialists. The hematologist, faced with a patient with MM, must not only choose a treatment according to patient and disease characteristics but must also know when therapy needs to be started and how to monitor it during and after treatment. Moreover, he must deal not only with organ issues related to MM such as bone disease, renal failure or neurological disease but also with adverse events, often very serious, related to novel therapies, particularly new generation immunotherapies such as CAR T cell therapy and bispecific antibodies. In this review, we provide an overview on the newer MM diagnostic and monitoring strategies and on the main side effects of MM therapies, focusing on adverse events occurring during treatment with CAR T cells and bispecific antibodies.

Abstract
Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapies have increased the patients with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM) in whom standard electrophoretic techniques fail to detect the M-protein. Quantitative immunoprecipitation mass spectrometry (QIP-MS) can accurately measure serum M-protein with high sensitivity, and identify interferences caused by therapeutic monoclonal antibodies. Here, we investigate the outcome of QIP-MS in 33 patients treated with the academic BCMA-directed CAR T-cell ARI0002h (Cesnicabtagene Autoleucel). QIP-MS offered more detailed insights than serum immunofixation (sIFE), identifying glycosylated M-proteins and minor additional peaks. Moreover, the potential interferences owing to daratumumab or tocilizumab treatments were successfully detected. When analysing different assay platforms during patient's monitoring after ARI0002h administration, we observed that QIP-MS showed a high global concordance (78.8%) with sIFE, whereas it was only moderate (55.6%) with bone marrow (BM)-based next-generation flow cytometry (NGF). Furthermore, QIP-MS consistently demonstrated the lowest negativity rate across the different timepoints (27.3% vs. 60.0% in months 1 and 12, respectively). Patients with QIP-MS(+)/BM-based NGF(-) showed a non-significant shorter median progression free survival than those with QIP-MS(-)/BM-based NGF(-). In summary, we show the first experience to our knowledge demonstrating that QIP-MS could be particularly useful as a non-invasive technique when evaluating response after CAR T-cell treatment in MM.

Mass Spectrometry as Alternative Method to Identify and Monitor Non-Secretory Progressive Disease in Patients with Multiple Myeloma. Biomedicines 2024; 12:1153. [PMID: 38927360 PMCID: PMC11200560 DOI: 10.3390/biomedicines12061153] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/26/2024] [Revised: 03/14/2024] [Accepted: 05/14/2024] [Indexed: 06/28/2024] Open
Abstract
INTRODUCTION After receiving different lines of treatment, multiple myeloma patients tend to present with less secretory and more frequent extramedullary disease. These features make treatment monitoring and follow-up very complex since they have to be based on the use of imaging methods and/or bone marrow aspirations or biopsies. OBJECTIVE To present the case of a patient with myeloma progressing with non-secretory bone disease and to discuss the potential impact of mass spectrometry as a new highly sensitive method able to identify the monoclonal protein (MP) in the serum of these types of patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS Informed consent was signed by the patient prior to receiving each line of treatment. The clinical information and images were obtained from anonymized electronic files. The mass spectrometry was performed with the Immunoglobulin Isotypes (GAM) assay for the mass spectrometry EXENT® Analyser Technology from Binding Site, part of Thermofisher. RESULTS A 73-year-old male with IgG kappa multiple myeloma progressing with a new lytic lesion after receiving 14 cycles of Talquetamab as a third line of therapy who, due to the non-secretory nature of the disease at this point, could not be enrolled in a clinical trial, thus limiting his therapeutic options. The mass spectrometry was able to identify and quantify the presence of the patient's MP when the serum protein electrophoresis and immunofixation were still negative and therefore could have been used to confirm the progression, to permit the inclusion of the patient in a clinical trial and to further monitor the disease response. CONCLUSIONS The higher sensitivity of the mass spectrometry methods to detect the MP in patients with myeloma and other monoclonal gammopathies translates into better identification of the disease progression, permits the inclusion of more patients in clinical trials and facilitates treatment monitoring.

Abstract
We report a fatal case of disseminated herpes zoster in a patient with multiple myeloma, illustrating the severe risks immunocompromised individuals face from viral infections. By combining a detailed case report with an extensive literature review, the paper seeks to shed light on the underlying susceptibility factors for varicella-zoster virus infection in multiple myeloma patients. We further evaluate effective prophylactic protocols for herpes zoster, aiming to equip clinicians with improved therapeutic strategies. The case underscores the critical need for vigilant clinical assessments and tailored patient management to mitigate infection risks and enhance patient outcomes.

Abstract
PURPOSE We investigated both the clinical utilities and the prognostic impacts of the clonotypic peptide mass spectrometry (MS)-EasyM, a blood-based minimal residual disease (MRD) monitoring protocol in multiple myeloma. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN A total of 447 sequential serum samples from 56 patients with multiple myeloma were analyzed using EasyM. Patient-specific M-protein peptides were sequenced from diagnostic samples; sequential samples were quantified by EasyM to monitor the M-protein. The performance of EasyM was compared with serum immunofixation electrophoresis (IFE), bone marrow multiparameter flow cytometry (MFC), and next-generation flow cytometry (NGF) detection. The optimal balance of EasyM sensitivity/specificity versus NGF (10-5 sensitivity) was determined and the prognostic impact of MS-MRD status was investigated. RESULTS Of the 447 serum samples detected and measured by EasyM, 397, 126, and 92 had time-matching results for comparison with serum IFE, MFC-MRD, and NGF-MRD, respectively. Using a dotp >0.9 as the MS-MRD positive, sensitivity was 99.6% versus IFE and 100.0% versus MFC and NGF. Using an MS negative cutoff informed by ROC analysis (<1.86% of that at diagnosis), EasyM sensitivity remained high versus IFE (88.3%), MFC (85.1%), and NGF (93.2%), whereas specificity increased to 90.4%, 55.8%, and 93.2%, respectively. In the multivariate analysis, older diagnostic age was an independent predictor for progression-free survival [PFS; high risk (HR), 3.15; 1.26-7.86], the best MS-MRD status (MS-MRD negative) was independent predictor for both PFS (HR, 0.25; 0.12-0.52) and overall survival (HR, 0.16; 0.06-0.40). CONCLUSIONS EasyM is a highly sensitive and minimal invasive method of MRD monitoring in multiple myeloma; MS-MRD had significant predictive ability for survival outcomes.

Giles HV, Karunanithi K. Performance Characteristics and Limitations of the Available Assays for the Detection and Quantitation of Monoclonal Free Light Chains and New Emerging Methodologies. Antibodies (Basel) 2024; 13:19. [PMID: 38534209 DOI: 10.3390/antib13010019] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/01/2024] [Revised: 02/26/2024] [Accepted: 03/05/2024] [Indexed: 03/28/2024] Open
Abstract
Light chain measurements form an essential component of the testing strategy for the detection and monitoring of patients with suspected and/or proven plasma cell disorders. Urine-based electrophoretic assays remain at the centre of the international guidelines for response assessment but the supplementary role of serum-free light chain (FLC) assays in response assessment and the detection of disease progression due to their increased sensitivity has been increasingly recognised since their introduction in 2001. Serum FLC assays have also been shown to be prognostic across the spectrum of plasma cell disorders and are now incorporated into risk stratification scores for patients with monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS), smouldering multiple myeloma, and light chain amyloidosis (AL amyloidosis), as well as being incorporated into the criteria for defining symptomatic multiple myeloma. There are now multiple different commercially available serum FLC assays available with differing performance characteristics, which are discussed in this review, along with the implications of these for patient monitoring. Finally, newer methodologies for the identification and characterisation of monoclonal FLC, including modifications to electrophoretic techniques, mass spectrometry-based assays and Amylite, are also described along with the relevant published data available regarding the performance of each assay.

Abstract
Histiocytosis represents a group of uncommon disorders characterized by the abnormal accumulation of specialized immune cells, such as macrophages, dendritic cells, or monocyte-derived cells, in various tissues and organs. Over 100 distinct subtypes have been documented, each displaying a broad spectrum of clinical presentations and histological characteristics. Till today, histiocytosis has been addressed through a combination of chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and surgery, with varying responses from individual patients. Due to its atypical symptoms, it has been prone to misdiagnosis. Advances in our understanding of the cellular and molecular aspects of these conditions are paving the way for improved diagnostic methods and targeted therapies. Researchers have extensively investigated various mutations in patient samples. However, no paper has yet provided a comprehensive summary of the collective analysis of mutations and pathways. Hence, this paper consolidates research efforts that specifically concentrate on gene mutations identified in patient samples of different subtypes of histiocytosis. These insights are essential for developing targeted therapies and improving diagnosis. Further, it provides potential insights to enhance the development of more effective therapeutic approaches for rare diseases.

A sensitive high-resolution mass spectrometry method for quantifying intact M-protein light chains in patients with multiple myeloma. Clin Chim Acta 2024; 552:117634. [PMID: 37980975 DOI: 10.1016/j.cca.2023.117634] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/28/2023] [Revised: 11/06/2023] [Accepted: 11/07/2023] [Indexed: 11/21/2023]
Abstract
To determine the disease status and the response to treatment for patients with multiple myeloma, measuring serum M-protein levels is a widely used alternative to invasive punctures to count malignant plasma cells in the bone marrow. However, the quantification of this monoclonal antibody, which varies from patient to patient, poses significant analytical challenges. This paper describes a sensitive and specific mass spectrometry assay that addresses two objectives: to overcome the potential interference of biotherapeutics in the measurement of M-proteins, and to determine the depth of response to treatment by assessing minimal residual disease. After immunocapture of immunoglobulins and free light chains in serum, heavy and light chains were dissociated by chemical reduction and separated by liquid chromatography. M-proteins were analyzed by high-resolution mass spectrometry using a method combining a full MS scan for isotyping and identification and a targeted single ion monitoring scan for quantification. This method was able to discriminate M-protein from the therapeutic antibody in all patient samples analyzed and allowed quantification of M-protein with a LLOQ of 2.0 to 3.5 µg/ml in 5 out of 6 patients. This methodology appears to be promising for assessing minimal residual disease with sufficient sensitivity, specificity, and throughput.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Therapeutic advancements in multiple myeloma have led to increasingly deeper and more durable responses, creating a need for highly sensitive and applicable techniques for measurable residual disease (MRD) assessment. Bone marrow assays can deeply assess for MRD, but it is not conducive to performing frequent and dynamic evaluations, which may be needed for MRD-adapted treatment approaches. Recently, numerous techniques for MRD assessment in peripheral blood have come under investigation, and their integration into routine clinical practice is eagerly anticipated. RECENT FINDINGS The identification of circulating tumor cells (CTCs), evaluation of cell-free DNA, and measuring monoclonal protein concentration with mass spectrometry are promising research areas for assessing myeloma in peripheral blood. CTCs assessment and cell-free DNA may carry prognostic significance, but they lack the sensitivity of bone marrow-based techniques. Mass spectrometry has already been implemented in clinical practice in certain centers, but its full potential has yet to be fully realized. This review focuses on recent developments in these fields, emphasizing the potential future roles of these assessments. SUMMARY MRD assessment in peripheral blood is still in the development stage but holds promise for not only complementing bone marrow based evaluations but also potential for improving sensitivity.

Abstract
Subsets of patients diagnosed with a monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS), smoldering multiple myeloma (SMM) or multiple myeloma (MM), present with a monoclonal immunoglobulin (Ig) specific for an infectious pathogen, including hepatitis C and B viruses (HCV, HBV), Helicobacter pylori and several Herpesviruses. Such cases are likely initiated by infection, since in the context of HCV- or HBV-infected patients, antiviral therapy can lead to the disappearance of antigenic stimulation, control of clonal plasma cells, and reduced or suppressed monoclonal Ig production. Complete remission has been obtained with anti-HCV therapy in refractory MM with a HCV-specific monoclonal Ig, and antiviral treatments significantly improved the probability of survival of MM patients infected with HCV or HBV prior to the diagnosis of MM. Monoclonal Igs may also target glucolipids, particularly glucosylsphingosine (GlcSph), and GlcSph-reducing therapy can lead to complete remission in SMM and MM patients presenting with a GlcSph-specific monoclonal Ig. The present review describes the importance of determining the target of the monoclonal Ig of MGUS, SMM and MM patients, and discusses the efficacy of target-reducing treatments in the management of MGUS, SMM and MM cases who present with a monoclonal Ig reactive against a treatable infectious pathogen or GlcSph.

Clinical Benefit of Autologous Stem Cell Transplantation for Patients with Multiple Myeloma Achieving Undetectable Minimal Residual Disease after Induction Treatment. CANCER RESEARCH COMMUNICATIONS 2023; 3:1770-1780. [PMID: 37680953 PMCID: PMC10481879 DOI: 10.1158/2767-9764.crc-23-0185] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/26/2023] [Revised: 07/10/2023] [Accepted: 08/11/2023] [Indexed: 09/09/2023]
Abstract
Attaining undetectable minimal residual disease (MRD) is the current therapeutic goal for multiple myeloma. But there is a current lack of data regarding the clinical benefit of autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) for patients with myeloma achieving early MRD-negative status after induction treatment, in addition to the interaction of longitudinal MRD status with ASCT. The current study included 407 patients with transplant-eligible multiple myeloma with available MRD status from the National Longitudinal Cohort of Hematological Diseases in China (NCT04645199), of whom 147 (34.4%) achieved early undetectable MRD and 182 (44.7%) received ASCT. Early MRD-negative status was associated with a lower risk of disease progression [HR = 0.447; 95% confidence interval (CI), 0.333-0.600; P < 0.001] and death (HR = 0.473; 95% CI, 0.320-0.700; P < 0.001). Of note, patients who achieved undetectable MRD early still benefitted from ASCT, with a remarkable improvement in the median MRD-negative duration (33.5-58.0 months, P < 0.001), progression-free survival (PFS; 46.0-88.3 months, P < 0.001), and overall survival (OS; 76.4 months to not reached, P = 0.003). These clinical benefits were more pronounced in patients with aggressive features (high-risk cytogenetic abnormalities or high tumor burden) compared with standard-risk patients. Similar results were observed in patients with detectable MRD after induction treatment. In addition, we identified four MRD-status transformation patterns following ASCT, which were strongly correlated with diverse survival outcomes (P < 0.001). Our study revealed the enhanced clinical significance of ASCT in patients with transplant-eligible myeloma, regardless of early MRD status, particularly for high-risk patients. Subsequent prospective trials are essential to validate these observations. Significance Achieving and maintaining undetectable MRD is the current treatment goal for multiple myeloma. Our results emphasized the remarkable clinical benefit of ASCT on MRD-negative duration, PFS, and OS in patients with multiple myeloma regardless of early MRD status. These favorable impacts were more evident in patients with aggressive features. Importantly, dynamic MRD monitoring among ASCT could facilitate personalized stratification of therapeutic approaches.

Abstract
Multiple Myeloma (MM) remains a difficult to treat disease mainly due to its biological heterogeneity, of which we are more and more knowledgeable thanks to the development of increasingly sensitive molecular methods that allow us to build better prognostication models. The biological diversity translates into a wide range of clinical outcomes from long-lasting remission in some patients to very early relapse in others. In NDMM transplant eligible (TE) patients, the incorporation of mAb as daratumumab in the induction regimens, followed by autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) and consolidation/maintenance therapy, has led to a significant improvement of PFS and OS.; however, this outcome remains poor in ultra-high risk MM or in those who did not achieve a minimal residual disease (MRD) negativity. Several trials are exploring cytogenetic risk-adapted and MRD-driven therapies in these patients. Similarly, quadruplets-containing daratumumab, particularly when administered as continuous therapies, have improved outcome of patients not eligible for autologous transplant (NTE). Patients who become refractory to conventional therapies have noticeably poor outcomes, making their treatment a difficult challenge in need of novel strategies. In this review, we will focus on the main points regarding risk stratification, treatment and monitoring of MM, highlighting the most recent evidence that could modify the management of this still incurable disease.
