Pooled analysis of NeoCARH and NeoCART trials: patient-reported outcomes in patients with early-stage breast cancer receiving platinum-based or anthracycline-based neoadjuvant chemotherapy. Support Care Cancer 2024; 32:401. [PMID: 38829506 DOI: 10.1007/s00520-024-08610-3] [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: 12/09/2023] [Accepted: 05/27/2024] [Indexed: 06/05/2024]
Abstract
PURPOSE Anthracycline-based or platinum-based neoadjuvant chemotherapy belongs to the standard treatment for early-stage breast cancer (EBC) that is either triple-negative or human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 positive (HER2 +). Currently, there is a paucity of data comparing their impact on health-related quality of life (HRQoL). METHODS Triple-negative or HER2 + EBC from our two prospective randomized controlled trials, neoCARH and neoCART, were divided into two groups based on the neoadjuvant chemotherapy regimens they received: anthracycline-based or platinum-based group. HRQoL was the exploratory endpoint in these two trials, which was assessed using the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life-Core30 and Breast23 questionnaires. The primary variable of interest was the C30 summary score (C30-SumSc). Assessments were carried out at baseline, after neoadjuvant chemotherapy, and 1 year and 2 years after diagnosis. RESULTS The mean questionnaires' compliance rate was 95.0%. After neoadjuvant chemotherapy, 210 patients had evaluable HRQoL data, the mean least square change from baseline for the platinum-based group was - 15.997 (95% confidence interval (CI): - 17.877 to - 14.117), and it was - 20.156 (95% CI: - 22.053 to - 18.258) for the anthracycline-based group (difference: 4.159, 95% CI: 1.462 to 6.855, P = 0.003, minimal important difference = 3). For the majority of the domains of interest assessed by the C30 and BR23 questionnaires, the platinum-based group demonstrated superior outcomes in comparison to the anthracycline-based group. CONCLUSION Patients receiving platinum-based or anthracycline-based regimens both experienced worsened HRQoL after neoadjuvant chemotherapy; however, the former provided relatively better HRQoL compared with the latter. CLINICAL TRIAL REGISTRATION ClinicalTrials.gov: NCT03140553. Registered 4 May 2017 (neoCARH). NCT03154749. Registered 16 May 2017 (neoCART).

Abstract
Multiple myeloma (MM) remains an incurable hematological malignancy disease characterized by the progressive dysfunction of the patient's immune system. In this context, immunotherapy for MM has emerged as a prominent area of research in recent years. Various targeted immunotherapy strategies, such as monoclonal antibodies, antibody-drug conjugates, bispecific antibodies, chimeric antigen receptor T cells/natural killer (NK) cells, and checkpoint inhibitors have been developed for MM. This review aims to discuss promising experimental and clinical evidence as well as the mechanisms of action underlying these immunotherapies. Specifically, we will explore the design of exosome-based bispecific monoclonal antibodies that offer cell-free immunotherapy options. The treatment landscape for myeloma continues to evolve with the development of numerous emerging immunotherapies. Given their significant advantages in modulating the MM immune environment through immune-targeted therapy, these approaches provide novel perspectives in selecting cutting-edge treatments for MM.

Elotuzumab plus pomalidomide and dexamethasone in relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma: a multicenter, retrospective, real-world experience with 200 cases outside of controlled clinical trials. Haematologica 2024; 109:245-255. [PMID: 37439329 PMCID: PMC10772491 DOI: 10.3324/haematol.2023.283251] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/07/2023] [Accepted: 07/06/2023] [Indexed: 07/14/2023] Open
Abstract
In the ELOQUENT-3 trial, the combination of elotuzumab, pomalidomide and dexamethasone (EloPd) proved to have a superior clinical benefit over pomalidomide and dexamethasone with a manageable toxicity profile, leading to its approval for the treatment of patients with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM) who have received at least two prior therapies, including lenalidomide and a proteasome inhibitor. We report here a real-world experience of 200 cases of RRMM treated with EloPd in 35 Italian centers outside of clinical trials. In our dataset, the median number of prior lines of therapy was two, with 51% of cases undergoing autologous stem cell transplant and 73% having been exposed to daratumumab. After a median follow-up of 9 months, 126 patients had stopped EloPd, most of them (88.9%) because of disease progression. The overall response rate was 55.4%, a finding in line with the pivotal trial results. Regarding adverse events, the toxicity profile in our cohort was similar to that in the ELOQUENT-3 trial, with no significant differences between younger (<70 years) and older patients. The median progression-free survival was 7 months, which was shorter than that observed in ELOQUENT-3, probably because of the different clinical characteristics of the two cohorts. Interestingly, International Staging System stage III disease was associated with worse progression-free survival (hazard ratio=2.55). Finally, the median overall survival of our series was shorter than that observed in the ELOQUENT-3 trial (17.5 vs. 29.8 months). In conclusion, our real-world study confirms that EloPd is a safe and possible therapeutic choice for patients with RRMM who have received at least two prior therapies, including lenalidomide and a proteasome inhibitor.
