Abstract
Introduction Allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (alloHCT) possessed direct cytotoxicity and graft-versus-multiple myeloma effect (GvMM). Growing trials have shown survival benefits of performing alloHCT in both newly diagnosed and relapsed MM. Methods We aimed to provide a comprehensive analysis in the recent 10 years to verify the efficacy and survival outcome of alloHCT in MM patients. A total of 61 studies which provide data between 14/04/2013 and 14/04/2023 and a total of 15,294 data from MM patients who had undergone alloSCT were included in our study. The best response rates (CR, VGPR, PR) and survival outcomes (1-, 2-, 3-,5-, and 10-year OS, PFS, NRM) were assessed. We further conducted meta-analysis in the NDMM/frontline setting and RRMM/salvage setting independently. Results The pooled estimate CR, VGPR, and PR rates were 0.45, 0.21, and 0.24, respectively. The pooled estimates of 1-, 2-, 3-, 5-, and 10-year OS were 0.69, 0.57, 0.45, 0.45, and 0.36, respectively; the pooled estimates of 1-, 2-, 3-, 5-, and 10-year PFS were 0.47, 0.35, 0.24, 0.25, and 0.28, respectively; and the pooled estimates of 1-, 2-, 3-, 5-, and 10-year NRM were 0.16, 0.21, 0.16, 0.20, and 0.15, respectively. In the NDMM/upfront setting, the pooled estimate CR rate was 0.54, and those for 5-year OS, PFS, and NRM were 0.69, 0.40, and 0.11, respectively. In a relapsed setting, the pooled estimate CR rate was 0.31, and those for 5-year OS, PFS, and NRM were 0.24, 0.10, and 0.15, respectively. Discussion Our results showed constant OS, PFS, and NRM from the third year onwards till the 10th year, suggesting that alloSCT has sustained survival benefits. Good response rate and promising survival outcome were observed in the NDMM/ frontline setting. Conclusion Although comparing with other treatments, alloSCT had a lower response rate and poorer short-term survival outcome, long-term follow-up could reveal survival benefits of alloSCT in MM patients.

Bortezomib Maintenance After Allogeneic Transplantation in Newly Diagnosed Myeloma Patients Results in Decreased Incidence and Severity of Chronic GVHD. Transplant Cell Ther 2023; 29:44.e1-44.e9. [PMID: 36334654 DOI: 10.1016/j.jtct.2022.10.022] [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: 08/23/2022] [Revised: 10/11/2022] [Accepted: 10/26/2022] [Indexed: 11/05/2022]
Abstract
Allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) has curative potential in myeloma but remains hampered by high rates of relapse and chronic graft-versus-host disease (GVHD). We hypothesized that bortezomib (BTZ) as maintenance therapy after allo HCT could not only decrease the incidence of relapse but also the incidence and severity of chronic GVHD. The primary endpoint of this study was to determine whether BTZ maintenance decreases the incidence and severity of chronic GVHD using National Institutes of Health (NIH) criteria. The secondary endpoints were to determine the immunosuppression burden, organ involvement and survival (overall survival, progression-free survival) in patients either receiving or not receiving BTZ. In this retrospective study, we compared the outcome of 46 myeloma patients who received BTZ after upfront tandem auto-allo HCT between 2008 and 2020 to 61 patients without maintenance. We explored the impact of BTZ maintenance on incidence and severity of chronic GVHD using the 2014 NIH criteria. At 2 years, incidences of overall (61.2% versus 83.6%; P = .001), and moderate/severe chronic GVHD (44.5% versus 77.0%; P = .001) were significantly lower in BTZ recipients who had less mouth (43% versus 67%; P = .018) and eyes (9% versus 41%; P = .001) involvement at initial diagnosis. We report a lower use of systemic steroids (45.1% versus 76.4%; P < .001), mycophenolate mofetil (15.5% versus 28.2%; P = .031) and tacrolimus (34.5% versus 70.6%; P < .001) in BTZ recipients. Probability of being alive and off systemic immunosuppressants at 3 years was 77% in BTZ recipients and 56% in controls (P = .046). To date, there is no difference in survival between both groups. In summary, BTZ maintenance improved incidence and severity of chronic GVHD and should be considered as a valid option in myeloma patients receiving upfront tandem auto-allo HCT.

Abstract
Major progress in the treatment of multiple myeloma has been made in the last several years. However, myeloma remains incurable and patients with high-risk cytogenetics or advanced stage disease have an even worsen survival. Only allogeneic transplantation may have curative potential in some patients. However, the high non-relapse mortality and incidence of chronic graft-versus-host disease have raised controversy regarding this procedure. In this review, we will address the role of upfront and delayed allogeneic transplant.

Allogeneic Stem Cell Transplantation in Multiple Myeloma. Cancers (Basel) 2021; 14:cancers14010055.

Abstract
The development of new inhibitory and immunological agents and combination therapies significantly improved response rates and survival of patients diagnosed with multiple myeloma (MM) in the last decade, but the disease is still considered to be incurable by current standards and the prognosis is dismal especially in high-risk groups and in relapsed and/or refractory patients. Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-SCT) may enable long-term survival and even cure for individual patients via an immune-mediated graft-versus-myeloma (GvM) effect, but remains controversial due to relevant transplant-related risks, particularly immunosuppression and graft-versus-host disease, and a substantial non-relapse mortality. The decreased risk of disease progression may outweigh this treatment-related toxicity for young, fit patients in high-risk constellations with otherwise often poor long-term prognosis. Here, allo-SCT should be considered within clinical trials in first-line as part of a tandem approach to separate myeloablation achieved by high-dose chemotherapy with autologous SCT, and following allo-SCT with a reduced-intensity conditioning to minimize treatment-related organ toxicities but allow GvM effect. Our review aims to better define the role of allo-SCT in myeloma treatment particularly in the context of new immunomodulatory approaches.

Outcomes in newly diagnosed young or high-risk myeloma patients receiving tandem autologous/allogeneic transplant followed by bortezomib maintenance: a phase II study. Bone Marrow Transplant 2021; 57:252-260.

Abstract
Despite novel drugs and autologous HCT, MM remains incurable, with short survival in patients with poor biological characteristics. Allo HCT may be curative in some patients but is hampered by high rates of toxicity and relapse. We hypothesized that bortezomib (BTZ), with its anti-myeloma and immunologic properties, could improve PFS and cGVHD after allo HCT in newly diagnosed MM patients. In this prospective phase II study, we included 39 young (≤50 years) and high-risk patients who received a tandem auto-allo HCT followed by BTZ. Patients had prospective minimal residual disease (MRD) evaluations using Next-Generation Flow cytometry prior to allo HCT, prior BTZ and every 3 months for 2 years. With a median follow-up of 48 months, we report PFS and OS at 5 years of 41% and 80%, with a non-relapse mortality of 12%. Incidences of grade II-IV aGVHD at 12 months and moderate/severe cGVHD at 2 years were 26% and 57%. In a multivariate analysis model including cytogenetics, ISS and MRD status, MRD positivity prior to allo HCT (HR 3.75, p = 0.037), prior BTZ (HR 11.3, p = 0.018) and 3 months post-BTZ initiation (HR 9.7, p = 0.001) was highly predictive of progression. Peritransplant MRD assessment thus strongly predicts disease progression.
