Renal outcome in multiple myeloma patients with cast nephropathy: a retrospective analysis of potential predictive values on clinical and renal outcome. Hematology 2024; 29:2311600. [PMID: 38329272 DOI: 10.1080/16078454.2024.2311600] [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: 08/23/2023] [Accepted: 01/24/2024] [Indexed: 02/09/2024] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Cast nephropathy (CN) is the leading cause of acute kidney injury (AKI) in multiple myeloma (MM). Since it is sparsely documented why some patients with CN do achieve a renal response while others do not, we describe a single-center cohort of patients with multiple myeloma and biopsy-confirmed CN to evaluate potential markers of renal response. METHODS The data was collected as a retrospective, single-center analysis of CN-patients treated at the Medical University Vienna between 01/01/2004 and 01/01/2022. Baseline parameters and clinical outcome was compared between renal responders and non-responders. RESULTS Among 28 patients with CN, n = 23 were assessed for renal response (14 responders; 9 non-responders). Renal responders were younger (median age: 61 years; 77 years, p = 0.039), showed higher overall survival (153months; 58months, p = 0.044) and achieved hematologic response (≥PR) to first-line therapy (p = 0.029), and complete hematologic response (CR) at any time (p = 0.025) significantly more often. Further, we could show that rapid initiation of anti-myeloma therapy after initial presentation correlated significantly with renal response (median 9 days; 27 days, p = 0.016). Analyses of kidney biopsy specimens revealed that patients with a high IF/TA score showed end stage renal disease (dialysis ≥ 3 months) significantly more often (p = <0.001). DISCUSSION In summary, our data suggests, that a rapid start with systemic hematologic treatment in patients with MM and CN is crucial and achieving an early hematologic response is important for renal recovery. Moreover, achieving a deep hematologic response and subsequent renal recovery improves clinical outcome as reflected by an overall survival benefit.

Abstract
Renal impairment is common during multiple myeloma and persistent reduction in kidney function strongly affects prognosis. Cast nephropathy, by monoclonal free light chains precipitation with uromodulin in renal tubules, is the main cause of acute kidney injury in multiple myeloma. Kidney biopsy, although not necessary for diagnosis, allows assessment of renal prognosis according to the extent of cast formation, tubular atrophy and interstitial fibrosis. Prevention and early diagnosis of acute kidney injury are essential to optimize management and avoid progression to chronic kidney disease. Rehydration, interruption of nephrotoxic treatments, correction of precipitating factors, anti-plasma cell chemotherapy can rapidly reduce the free light chains nephrotoxicity. The association of the proteasome inhibitor Bortezomib and high dose Dexamethasone is the reference treatment in newly diagnosed patients with renal impairment. Adding Cyclophosphamide or the immunomodulator Lenalidomide may improve the hematological response, but with a poorer tolerance. Use of anti-CD38 monoclonal antibodies is being evaluated in this population. Hemodialysis with high-flux or high-cut-off membranes, combined to chemotherapy, may improve renal function recovery. Management of multiple myeloma have to be adapted in patients with chronic kidney disease, dialysis or kidney transplantation. Because of improvement in global survival, kidney transplantation remains an option to consider in selected patients. Collaboration between hematologists and nephrologists is essential throughout the course of the disease.

Outcomes of therapeutic plasma exchange for the treatment of patients with multiple myeloma cast nephropathy. Hematol Oncol 2024; 42:e3293.

Abstract
Current treatment guidelines of myeloma cast nephropathy (MCN) recommend the institution of plasma cell-directed therapy and consideration of therapeutic plasma exchange (TPE), with the goal of rapid reduction of the serum free light chain (sFLC). However, the role of TPE continues to remain a subject of debate. The goal of this retrospective bi-institutional study was to evaluate the clinical outcomes of TPE in combination with systemic therapy. Eighty patients were included in this analysis, of whom 72.5% had ≥50% drop in their initial involved sFLC. At 3 months from TPE initiation, the overall hematologic response rate (ORR) was 67.5% with a very good partial response or better (≥VGPR) rate of 40%. At 6 months, ORR was 57.5%, with ≥VGPR rate of 49%. The renal response rate at 3 and 6 months was 47.5% and 43.75%, respectively; the overall renal response rate was 48.75%. On multivariable analysis, every one unit increase in baseline creatinine (odds ratio [OR] 0.76, p = 0.006), and achievement of ≥VGPR (OR 21.7 p < 0.0001) were significantly associated with renal response. Also, a ≥50% drop in sFLC was favorably associated with renal response (OR 3.39, p = 0.09). With a median follow-up of 36.4 months, the median overall survival (OS) was 11 months. On multivariable analysis, achievement of renal response (hazard ratio [HR] 0.3, p < 0.0001) and newly diagnosed disease (NDMM; HR 0.43, p = 0.0055) were associated with improved OS. Among NDMM patients, those treated with daratumumab-based regimens had a trend for better OS (p = 0.15), compared to other regimens, but the difference was not significant. At the end of follow-up, an estimated 40.4% of patients who were on dialysis were able to become dialysis independent. In conclusion, our study highlights the poor survival of patients with MCN. Achievement of early renal response is crucial for prolonged OS, with daratumumab-based therapies showing promise.

Abstract
Evidence on real-world clinical and economic outcomes in patients with multiple myeloma (MM) and renal impairment (RI) is limited in the United States. This retrospective study aimed to generate an updated comprehensive assessment of the clinical and economic outcomes of MM patients with RI using the Medicare research identifiable files data with Part D linkage, which might assist in assessing the total clinical and socioeconomic burden of these high-risk and challenging-to-treat patients. Treatment patterns and clinical and economic outcomes in first line (1L) to fourth line (4L) therapy were described in Medicare beneficiaries (2012 to 2018) for MM patients with RI (RI MM cohort). For reference purposes, information on a general cohort of MM patients was generated and reported to highlight the clinical and economic burden of RI. Since the goal was to describe the burden of these patients, this study was not designed as a comparison between the 2 cohorts. Compared with the general MM cohort (n = 13,573), RI MM patients (24.9%) presented high MM-associated comorbidities. In the RI MM cohort, bortezomib-dexamethasone (45.7%), bortezomib-lenalidomide (18.6%), lenalidomide (12.3%), and bortezomib-cyclophosphamide (12.1%) were the most prevalent regimens in 1L; carfilzomib and pomalidomide were mostly received in 3L to 4L; and daratumumab in 4L. Across 1L to 4L, the RI MM cohort presented shorter median real-world progression-free survival (1L: 12.9 and 16.4 months) and overall survival (1L: 31.1 and 46.8 months) and higher all-cause healthcare resource utilization (1L incidence rate of inpatient days: 12.1 and 7.8 per person per year) than the general MM cohort. In the RI MM cohort, the mean all-cause total cost increased from 1L to 4L ($14,549-$18,667 per person per month) and was higher than that of the general MM cohort. RI MM patients presented higher clinical and economic burdens across 1L to 4L than the general MM patients in real-world clinical practice.

Abstract
RATIONALE & OBJECTIVE Light and heavy chain deposition disease (LHCDD) is a rare form of monoclonal immunoglobulin (Ig) deposition disease, and limited clinical data are available characterizing this condition. Here we describe the clinicopathological characteristics and outcomes of LHCDD. STUDY DESIGN Case series. SETTING & PARTICIPANTS 13 patients with biopsy-proven LHCDD diagnosed between January 2008 and December 2022 at one of 2 Chinese medical centers. FINDINGS Among the 13 patients described, 6 were men and 7 were women, with a mean age of 52.6±8.0 years. Patients presented with hypertension (76.9%), anemia (84.6%), increased serum creatinine concentrations (84.6%; median, 1.7mg/dL), proteinuria (100%; average urine protein, 3.0g/24h), nephrotic syndrome (30.8%), and microscopic hematuria (76.9%). Serum immunofixation electrophoresis showed monoclonal Ig for 11 patients (84.6%). Serum free light chain ratios were abnormal in 11 patients (84.6%), and heavy/light chain ratios were abnormal in 9 of 10 patients (90%) with available data. Five patients were diagnosed with multiple myeloma. A histological diagnosis of nodular mesangial sclerosis was made in 10 patients (76.9%). Immunofluorescence demonstrated deposits of IgG subclass in 7 patients (γ-κ, n=4; γ-λ, n=3) and IgA in 5 patients (α-κ, n=2; α-λ, n=3). Six patients underwent IgG subclass staining (γ1, n=3; γ2, n=2; γ3, n=1). The deposits of IgD-κ were confirmed by mass spectrometry in 1 patient. Among 12 patients for whom data were available during a median of 26.5 months, 11 received chemotherapy and 1 received conservative treatment. One patient died, and disease progressed to kidney failure in 3 (25%). Among the 9 patients evaluable for hematological and kidney disease progression, 5 (56%) had a hematologic response and 1 (11%) exhibited improvement in kidney disease. LIMITATIONS Retrospective descriptive study, limited number of patients, urine protein electrophoresis or immunofixation electrophoresis test results missing for most patients. CONCLUSIONS In this case series of LHCDD, light and heavy chain deposition in kidney tissues were most frequent with monoclonal IgG1-κ. Among patients with evaluable data, more than half had a hematologic response, but a kidney response was uncommon.

Abstract
Kidney involvement with resulting kidney failure leads to increased mortality in patients with multiple myeloma (MM). Cast nephropathy (CN), in particular, if left untreated, quickly leads to kidney failure requiring dialysis and has a very poor prognosis for the affected patient. The gold standard for diagnosing kidney involvement is a kidney biopsy. However, due to bleeding risk, this cannot be done in every patient. We recently reported that a quotient of urine light chain (LCurine) to glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) is a non-invasive diagnostic tool for patients with kidney involvement in MM. But this quotient has not yet been tested in everyday clinical practice. In this study, our LCurine/eGFR ratio was tested on 67 patients in two centers. Enrollment took place between January 2019 and September 2023. A total of 18 of the 67 patients had CN. With the threshold defined in our initial paper, we were able to show a sensitivity of 100% with a specificity of 85.7% for CN in patients with MM. As a result, the LCurine/eGFR quotient recognizes 100% of all CN and can therefore detect this group, which has a very poor prognosis, without the need for a kidney biopsy.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma (MM) has poor outcomes, especially in heavily pretreated patients. Limited data exists on the use of novel therapies in MM patients with renal dysfunction. This case series describes the successful initiation of teclistamab in four patients with heavily pre-treated MM on hemodialysis (HD). DATA SOURCES The medical records of four adult MM patients on HD who received teclistamab were retrospectively reviewed. DATA SUMMARY All patients completed teclistamab step-up dosing and received at least one full dose. HD runs were administered irrespective of teclistamab initiation. Patients tolerated therapy well, with only one patient experiencing grade 1 CRS, which was managed with supportive care. CONCLUSIONS Due to the complexity of this patient population, close monitoring and multidisciplinary care are crucial. This approach is essential for effectively managing MM patients with renal dysfunction and for exploring novel treatment options.

Abstract
Renal involvement is common in monoclonal gammopathy (MG); however, the same patient may have both MG and non-paraprotein-associated renal damage. Accordingly, distinguishing the cause of renal damage is necessary because of the different clinical characteristics and associated treatments. In this multicenter retrospective cohort study, we described the clinicopathological characteristics and prognosis of 703 patients with MG and renal damage in central China. Patients were classified as having MG of renal significance (MGRS), MG of undetermined significance (MGUS), or hematological malignancy. 260 (36.98%), 259 (36.84%), and 184 (26.17%) had MGRS, MGUS, and hematological malignancies, respectively. Amyloidosis was the leading pattern of MGRS (74.23%), followed by thrombotic microangiopathy (8.85%) and monoclonal immunoglobulin deposition disease (8.46%). Membranous nephropathy was the leading diagnosis of MGUS (39.38%). Renal pathological findings of patients with hematological malignancies included paraprotein-associated lesions (84.78%) and non-paraprotein-associated lesions (15.22%). The presence of nephrotic syndrome and an abnormal free light chain (FLC) ratio were independently associated with MGRS. The overall survival was better in patients with MGUS than in those with MGRS or hematological malignancies.

Moreover, measurable residual disease (MRD) assessment in peripheral blood (PBMRD) can provide an ideal alternative to bone marrow MRD, which is limited by its painful nature and technical challenges. However, the clinical significance of PBMRD in NDMM still remains uncertain. Additionally, data on CTPC in NDMM patients not treated with transplant are scarce. We prospectively studied CTPC and PBMRD in 141 NDMM patients using highly sensitive multicolor flow cytometry (HS-MFC). PBMRD was monitored at the end of three cycles (PBMRD1) and six cycles (PBMRD2) of chemotherapy in patients with detectable baseline CTPC. Patients received bortezomib-based triplet therapy and were not planned for an upfront transplant. Among baseline risk factors, CTPC ≥ 0.01% was independently associated with poor progression-free survival (PFS) (hazard ratio [HR] = 2.77; p = 0.0047) and overall survival (OS) (HR = 2.9; p = 0.023) on multivariate analysis. In patients with detectable baseline CTPC, undetectable PBMRD at both subsequent time points was associated with longer PFS (HR = 0.46; p = 0.0037), whereas detectable PBMRD at any time point was associated with short OS (HR = 3.25; p = 0.004). Undetectable combined PBMRD (PBMRD1 and PBMRD2) outperformed the serum-immunofixation-based response. On multivariate analysis, detectable PBMRD at any time point was independently associated with poor PFS (HR = 2.0; p = 0.025) and OS (HR = 3.97; p = 0.013). Thus, our findings showed that CTPC and PBMRD assessment using HS-MFC provides a robust, noninvasive biomarker for NDMM patients not planned for an upfront transplant. Sequential PBMRD monitoring has great potential to improve the impact of the existing risk stratification and response assessment models.

Abstract
High-dose melphalan followed by autologous haematopoietic stem cell transplantation is widely used in newly diagnosed multiple myeloma (MM) patients as upfront therapy. However, the safety and efficacy of transplantation in patients with renal insufficiency (RI) are controversial. We followed a multicentre (16 SFGM-TC centres) prospective cohort of 50 newly diagnosed MM patients with a serum creatinine clearance of <40 mL/min at transplantation. Patients received a recommended dose of melphalan of 140 mg/m2. The primary end-point was the non-relapse mortality at Day 100. One death occurred during the first 100 days post-transplant. The median time to neutrophil engraftment was 12 days and to platelet engraftment was 13 days. The haematological response improved in 69% of patients, with best responses from partial response (PR) to very good partial response (VGPR) (10%), from PR to complete response (CR)/stringent complete response (sCR) (16%), from VGPR to CR/sCR (39%) and from CR to sCR (2%). At 2 years, the overall survival was 84%, the progression-free survival was 70% and the cumulative incidence of relapse was 20%. The renal response improved in 59% of patients, with the best renal responses post-transplant being minimal (9%), partial (2%) and complete (48%). Autologous transplantation was safe and effective in myeloma patients with RI at transplant.

Abstract
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.

Abstract
Multiple myeloma (MM) is a very heterogeneous disease with multiple symptoms and clinical manifestations. MM affects mainly elderly patients and is difficult to manage in the presence of comorbidities, polypharmacy, frailty and adverse events of disease-targeted drugs. The rapid changes in MM treatment resulting from constant innovations in this area, together with the introduction of numerous new drugs with distinct mechanisms of action and toxicity profiles, have led to an increased complexity in the therapeutic decision-making and patient management processes. The prolonged exposure to novel agents, sometimes in combination with conventional therapies, makes this management even more challenging. A careful balance between treatment efficacy and its tolerability should be considered for every patient. During treatment, a close monitoring of comorbidities, disease-related manifestations and treatment side effects is recommended, as well as a proactive approach, with reinforcement of information and patient awareness for the early recognition of adverse events, allowing prompt therapeutic adjustments. In this review, we discuss various issues that must be considered in the treatment of MM patients, while giving practical guidance for monitoring, prevention and management of myeloma-related manifestations and treatment-related toxicities.

Abstract
Monoclonal proteins are common, with a prevalence in the United States around 5% and the incidence increases with age. Although most patients are asymptomatic, the vast majority of cases are caused by a clonal plasma cell disorder. Monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS) and smoldering multiple myeloma (SMM) are asymptomatic precursor conditions with variable risk of progression to multiple myeloma (MM). In recent years, significant progress has been made to better understand the factors that lead to the development of symptoms and progression to myeloma. In this review, we summarize the current diagnosis treatment guidelines for MGUS and SMM and highlight recent advances that underscore a shifting paradigm in the evaluation and management of plasma cell precursor conditions.

Abstract
Multiple myeloma is a genetically complex and heterogenous malignancy with a 5-year survival rate of approximately 60%. Despite advances in therapy, patients experience cycles of remission and relapse, with each successive line of therapy associated with poorer outcomes; therefore, therapies with different mechanisms of action against new myeloma antigens are needed. G protein-coupled receptor class C group 5 member D (GPRC5D) has emerged as a novel therapeutic target for the treatment of multiple myeloma. We review the biology and target validation of GPRC5D, and clinical data from early phase trials of GPRC5D-targeting bispecific antibodies, talquetamab and forimtamig, and chimeric antigen receptor T cell (CAR-T) therapies, MCARH109, OriCAR-017, and BMS-986393. In addition to adverse events (AEs) associated with T-cell-redirection therapies irrespective of target, a consistent pattern of dermatologic and oral AEs has been reported across several trials of GPRC5D-targeting bispecific antibodies, as well as rare cerebellar events with CAR-T therapy. Additional studies are needed to understand the underlying mechanisms involved in the development of skin- and oral-related toxicities. We review the strategies that have been used to manage these GPRC5D-related toxicities. Preliminary efficacy data showed overall response rates for GPRC5D-targeting T-cell-redirecting therapies were ≥64%; most responders achieved a very good partial response or better. Pharmacokinetics/pharmacodynamics showed that these therapies led to cytokine release and T-cell activation. In conclusion, results from early phase trials of GPRC5D-targeting T-cell-redirecting agents have shown promising efficacy and manageable safety profiles, including lower infection rates compared with B-cell maturation antigen- and Fc receptor-like protein 5-targeting bispecific antibodies. Further clinical trials, including those investigating GPRC5D-targeting T-cell-redirecting agents in combination with other anti-myeloma therapies and with different treatment modalities, may help to elucidate the future optimal treatment regimen and sequence for patients with multiple myeloma and improve survival outcomes.

Abstract
Autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) remains the mainstay of the treatment in newly diagnosed transplant-eligible multiple myeloma (MM) patients. This retrospective study was performed to investigate the potential prognostic markers which may modify transplant course in a total of 256 ASCT recipients [median age: 58 (30-74) years; male/female: 138/118], including pretransplant (PET0) and day + 60 (PET2) PET/CT assessments and comparative analysis of melphalan (Mel) dose. Better responses with significantly higher complete response/very good partial response rates were achieved in patients who proceeded to transplant within 301 days from diagnosis (p < 0.001). Patients who had received < 1.5 lines of treatment prior to transplant had significantly higher probability of overall survival (OS) (p = 0.004) and progression-free survival (PFS) (p < 0.001). The probability of OS was significantly higher in patients with low Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance score (PS = 0-1) (p = 0.003) and HCT-Comorbidity Index (HCT-CI = 0) (p = 0.011). The number of involved areas (p = 0.028) and maximum standardized uptake value (SUVmax) (p = 0.021) in PET0 represented significant impact on OS. The probabilities of OS (p < 0.001) and PFS (p = 0.01) were significantly better with Mel200 mg/m2 conditioning compared to Mel140 mg/m2. Conditioning with Mel200 mg/m2, early and upfront ASCT and low pretransplant treatment burden were found to be significantly associated with ASCT outcome in MM patients. Despite its predictor impact on survival and prognosis, further studies are warranted to standardize PET/CT-based response assessments before being used as a guide for treatment decisions in clinical practice.

Abstract
Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of daratumumab as a maintenance treatment after autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (auto-HSCT) in patients with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma (NDMM) . Methods: The clinical data, hematological and renal response, and safety of 15 post-transplant patients with NDMM who had received daratumumab maintenance between May 1, 2022 and June 30, 2023 were retrospectively analyzed. Results: Fifteen patients (11 males and 4 females) with a median age of 58 (41-72) years were included. Thirteen patients did not receive daratumumab during induction therapy and auto-HSCT, 6 patients had renal impairment, and nine patients had high-risk cytogenetics. The median infusion of daratumumab was 12 (6-17) times, and the median duration of maintenance was 6 (1.5-12) months. The treatment efficacy was evaluated in all 15 patients, and daratumumab maintenance therapy increased the rate of stringent complete response from 40% to 60%. The renal response rate and median estimated glomerular filtration rate of six patients with RI-NDMM were also improved. During daratumumab maintenance therapy, the most common hematological grade 3 adverse event (AE) was lymphopenia [4 of 15 patients (26.67%) ], whereas the most common nonhematologic AEs were infusion-related reactions [7 of 15 patients (46.67%) ] and grade 3 pneumonia [5 of 15 patients (33.33%) ]. The five patients with pneumonia were daratumumab naive [5 of 13 patients (38.46%) ], with a median of 8 (6-10) infusions. Among them, the chest computed tomography of three patients showed interstitial infiltrates, and treatment with methylprednisolone was effective. With a median follow-up of 12 months, the 1-year overall survival rate was 93.33%, and only one patient died (which was not related to daratumumab treatment) . Conclusions: Daratumumab was safe and effective as a maintenance agent for post-auto-HSCT patients with NDMM, and AEs were controllable. The most common nonhematologic AE was grade 3 pneumonia, and a less dose-intense maintenance regimen for the first 8 weeks could reduce the incidence of pneumonia.

Abstract
Monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS) is a premalignant condition characterized by the presence of low levels of a monoclonal protein in the serum and a low percentage of clonal plasma cells in the bone marrow. MGUS may progress to multiple myeloma or other plasma cell disorders at a rate of 1% annually. However, MGUS may also have adverse effects on the cardiovascular system independent of its malignant potential. Emerging data have shown that MGUS is associated with cardiovascular disease. The mechanisms underlying this association are not fully understood but may involve genetic abnormalities, vascular calcification, cryoglobulinemia, cold agglutinin disease, autoantibodies and the direct or indirect effects of the monoclonal protein on the vascular endothelium. Herein, we review current evidence in this field and we suggest that patients with MGUS may benefit from regular cardiovascular risk assessment to prevent severe cardiovascular complications, in parallel with close hematological follow-up to monitor potential disease progression.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION In Madagascar, the epidemiologic, therapeutic, and evolutionary aspects of multiple myeloma remain poorly understood. Our objectives were to describe the cases, report factors associated with mortality, and estimate patient survival. PATIENTS AND METHOD This was a retrospective descriptive and analytical study conducted in five teaching hospitals in Madagascar: HJRA and CENHOSOA (Antananarivo), CHUPZAGA (Mahajanga), CHUAT (Toamasina) and CHUT (Fianarantsoa). The study included patients diagnosed with multiple myeloma between January 1, 2010 and December 31, 2021. RESULTS Of the 11,374 cancer patients, 75 (0.66%) had multiple myeloma. The mean age of the patients was 59.9 years (±8.9) and the sex ratio was 1.5. Arterial hypertension was observed in 32% of the patients. The most common symptom of myeloma was bone pain (n = 48; 64%). Forty-six patients (61%) were diagnosed with stage III myeloma and 28 patients (37.3%) with stage IIIA myeloma according to the Durie-Salmon classification. Anemia, renal failure, hypercalcemia and fractures were present in 53%, 37%, 21% and 28% of cases, respectively. Fifty-four patients received specific treatment. The combination of melphalan-prednisone-thalidomide was used in 79.63% of cases, and one patient had received autologous stem cell transplantation. Eleven patients (14.67%) died. Chronic kidney disease (p = 0.009), smoking (p = 0.028) and two associated comorbidities (p = 0.035) were associated with mortality. The median overall survival was 45.5 months. CONCLUSION Patient survival is shorter than reported in the literature. The high mortality rate is due to comorbidities and limited access to recommended therapies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVE Anti-CD38 targeting has become an important pillar of the treatment for patients with multiple myeloma (MM). This evolution was spearheaded by daratumumab, but more recently isatuximab became the second CD38-directed monoclonal antibody to receive EMA approval for the treatment of patients with relapsed/refractory (RR) MM. In recent years, real-world studies have become increasingly important to confirm and solidify the clinical potential of novel anti-myeloma therapies. METHODS This article describes the real-world experience with isatuximab-based therapy in a selection of four RRMM patients treated with an isatuximab-based treatment regimen in the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg. RESULTS Three of the four cases described in this article consist of heavily pretreated patients who were previously exposed to daratumumab-based therapy. Interestingly, the isatuximab-based therapy provided clinical benefit to all three of these patients illustrating that prior exposure to an anti-CD38 mAb does not preclude a response to isatuximab. As such, these findings further support the design of larger prospective studies looking into the impact of prior daratumumab use on the efficacy of isatuximab-based therapy. In addition, two of the cases included in this report displayed renal insufficiency and the experience with isatuximab in these patients further supports the use of this agent in this setting. CONCLUSION the clinical cases described illustrate the clinical potential of isatuximab-based treatment for RRMM patient in a real-world setting.

Abstract
Overall outcomes for multiple myeloma have improved due to the availability of new therapies, but patients with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma harbouring certain factors continue to pose a therapeutic challenge. These challenging features include high-risk cytogenetics, renal impairment, patient characteristics such as age and frailty, and extramedullary disease. Prior refractory status and number of prior lines add further complexity to the treatment of these patients. While newer regimens are available and have suggested efficacy in these patient populations through subgroup analyses, differences in trial definitions and cut-offs make meaningful comparisons difficult. This review aims to examine the available clinical trial data for patients with high-risk cytogenetics, renal impairment, age and frailty and extramedullary disease.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Carfilzomib is a selective proteasome inhibitor approved for treating relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM). Carfilzomib improves overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS); however, treatment with carfilzomib results in a higher incidence of cardiovascular and renal toxicity. More than 70% of patients with RRMM in clinical practice do not meet the eligibility criteria for randomized clinical trials (RCT). OS and PFS are negatively influenced by complications, concomitant medications and prior treatments. Therefore, we assessed the risk factors influencing the OS and time to next treatment (TTNT) in the real world. TTNT has emerged as a relevant alternative clinical endpoint to PFS. METHODS A retrospective analysis of a large claims database prepared during the post-marketing stages in Japan was performed. The patients treated with carfilzomib for the first time were identified. Multivariable Cox proportional hazards regression analysis was performed to evaluate the risk factors influencing OS and TTNT following carfilzomib treatment. RESULTS A total of 732 patients with RRMM who received carfilzomib-containing chemotherapy between April 2014 and September 2021 were identified. Multivariable Cox regression analysis for OS and TTNT showed a significantly higher hazard ratio (HR) of 1.48 (95% confidence interval [Cl]: 1.10-2.00; p = 0.010) and 1.38 (95% Cl: 1.15-1.65; p < 0.001), respectively, for patients with renal impairment compared to those without renal impairment. Multivariable Cox regression analysis for OS and TTNT showed a significantly higher HR of 1.80 (95% Cl: 1.27-2.55; p = 0.0010) and 1.38 (95% Cl: 1.14-1.66; p < 0.001), respectively, for patients with prior lenalidomide treatment compared to those without prior lenalidomide treatment. CONCLUSION Complication of renal impairment and prior lenalidomide treatment could be risk factors influencing OS and TTNT during carfilzomib treatment.

Abstract
This comprehensive review discusses the dosing strategies of cancer treatment drugs for patients with impaired kidney function, specifically those with chronic kidney disease (CKD), undergoing hemodialysis, and kidney transplant recipients. CKD patients often necessitate dose adjustments of chemotherapeutic agents, e.g., platinum preparations, pyrimidine fluoride antimetabolites, antifolate agents, molecularly targeted agents, and bone-modifying agents, to prevent drug accumulation and toxicity due to diminished renal clearance of the administered drugs and their metabolites. In hemodialysis patients, factors such as drug removal from hemodialysis and altered pharmacokinetics demand careful optimization of anticancer drug therapy, including dose adjustment and timing of administration. While free cisplatin is removed by hemodialysis, most of the tissue- and protein-bound cisplatin remains in the body and rebound cisplatin elevations are observed after hemodialysis. It is not recommended hemodialysis for drug removal, regardless of timing. Kidney transplant patients encounter unique challenges in cancer treatment, as maintaining the balance between reduction of immunosuppression, switching to mTOR inhibitors, and considering potential drug interactions with chemotherapeutic agents and immunosuppressants are crucial for preventing graft rejection and achieving optimal oncologic outcomes. The review underscores the importance of personalized, patient-centric approaches to anticancer drug therapy in patients with impaired kidney function.

Abstract
Myeloma cast nephropathy (MCN) has historically been associated with poor kidney outcomes. We aimed to evaluate the kidney outcomes and identify prognostic factors of myeloma-associated acute kidney injury (M-AKI) in the contemporary era of anti-plasma cell therapy. Patients who received anti-myeloma therapy with M-AKI (January 2012 to June 2020) from a single centre were identified from electronic medical records. Diagnosis of MCN was either biopsy confirmed (BC) or clinically suspected (CS), the latter defined as acute kidney injury with reduced estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) <30 mL/min/1.73 m2 and involved serum free light chains (iSFLC) >500 mg/L at diagnosis. Twenty-six patients with M-AKI were identified (BC: n = 13, CS: n = 13). Median eGFR at diagnosis was 12 (interquartile range 6-20) mL/min/1.73 m2 . All six dialysis-requiring patients achieved dialysis independence after 71 (43-208) days. The best-achieved eGFR was 47 (32-67) mL/min/1.73 m2 after 120 (63-167) days post-treatment, which was maintained at 47 (33-66) mL/min/1.73 m2 12 months post-treatment. Patients with best-achieved eGFR above the median were more likely to have achieved an iSFLC of <20 mg/L (above median group 62% versus below median group 0%; p < .001) and lower best post-treatment iSFLC (20 (12-90) versus 67 (29-146) mg/L; p < .05). Best-achieved iSFLC was a prognostic factor for superior eGFR following treatment for M-AKI. Despite low eGFR at diagnosis, contemporary anti-myeloma therapy can achieve significant recovery of kidney function.

Abstract
Renal function impairment (RI) is a common complication in multiple myeloma (MM). However, limited data exist on the safety and efficacy of anti-MM regimens in patients with severe RI, as these patients are frequently excluded from clinical trials. This investigator-initiated multicentric phase II GMMG-DANTE trial evaluated daratumumab, bortezomib, and dexamethasone (DVd) in relapsed or refractory (r/r) MM patients with severe RI. r/rMM patients with ≥1 prior treatment line and a GFR <30 mL/min/1.73 m2 or undergoing hemodialysis were eligible and received eight cycles of DVd followed by daratumumab maintenance. The trial closed prematurely after 22/36 planned patients. The primary endpoint was overall response rate (ORR). Median age of patients was 70 (range 55-89) years, with a median GFR of 20.1 mL/min/1.73 m2 (interquartile range, 9.4-27.3 mL/min/1.73 m2), and eight patients under hemodialysis. Median number of prior lines was two (range 1-10). The trial was successful, albeit with premature termination, as it met its primary endpoint, with an ORR of 67% (14/21). The rates of partial response, very good partial response, and complete response were 29%, 29%, and 10%, respectively (n = 6, 6, and 2). Fourteen patients (67%) achieved renal response. After median follow-up of 28 months, median progression-free survival was 10.4 months; median overall survival was not reached. Higher-grade toxicity was mainly hematologic, and non-hematologic toxicities ≥Grade 3 were mostly infections (24%). The prospective GMMG-DANTE trial investigating DVd exclusively in r/rMM patients with severe RI showed efficacy and safety to be comparable to data from patients without RI.

Extracorporeal light-chain elimination in myeloma with simple medium cutoff membrane hemodialysis: a retrospective cohort study. Front Oncol 2023; 13:1193504. [PMID: 37746285 PMCID: PMC10514899 DOI: 10.3389/fonc.2023.1193504] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/30/2023] [Accepted: 08/14/2023] [Indexed: 09/26/2023] Open
Abstract
Background We determined the efficacy of free light chain (FLC) removal by regular dialysis equipment (high-flux filtration) with medium cutoff (MCO) membrane hemodialysis (HD) as an adjuvant treatment to standard chemotherapy for patients with acute kidney injury complicating multiple myeloma (MM) and its impact on further dialysis dependency. Methods Sixty patients with acute dialysis-dependent renal failure secondary to MM were treated with MCO-HD (55 patients) or HCO (high cutoff)-HD (5 patients) as a control. FLC serum concentration, total protein, immunoglobulins, and LDH were measured throughout the dialysis therapy. The kidney function of the patients was followed up for 1 year. Results The median age was 69 years; 25 female and 35 male patients were enrolled. HD significantly reduced FLC kappa levels in the MCO/HCO group by 58%/84% (MCO/HCO group; p < 0.05) and FLC lambda by 39%/33% (MCO/HCO group; p < 0.05). Single HD data (MCO) showed a relative reduction of 70% in kappa and 37% in lambda FLC concentration, as expected by the different sizes of the light chains. Renal function improved significantly and continuously from starting creatinine 5.7/3.8 mg/dl (MCO/HCO group) before HD to 1.4/2.0 mg/dl (MCO/HCO group; p < 0.001) after 1 year. No significant alteration of total protein, immunoglobulins, and LDH concentrations by HD (HCO and MCO group) was observed. After 1 year, 37 of 60 patients were alive and 34 of them were off dialysis. Conclusion FLC elimination with MCO-HD is effective, technically easy, and less cost-intensive as compared with HCO-HD. Kidney function recovery in MM patients is achievable.

Abstract
To determine risk factors affecting renal recovery in newly diagnosed multiple myeloma (NDMM) patients with renal impairment (RI) and establish a risk nomogram. This multi-center, retrospective cohort study included 187 NDMM patients with RI, 127 of whom were admitted to Huashan Hospital and assigned to the training cohort and 60 were admitted to Changzheng Hospital and assigned to the external validation cohort. The baseline data of the 2 cohorts were compared, and survival and renal recovery rates were analyzed. Independent risk factors affecting renal recovery were determined by binary logistic regression analysis, and a risk nomogram was established and subsequently tested in the external validation cohort. Results: The median overall survival (OS) improved in patients who achieved renal recovery etc within 6 courses of MM directed treatment compared with patients without renal recovery. Median time to renal recovery was 2.65 courses, and the cumulative renal recovery rate during the first 3 courses was 75.05%. Involved serum free light chain (sFLC) ratio of >120 at diagnosis, time from renal impairment to treatment > 60 days, and a hematologic response without a very good partial remission (VGPR) or better resulted as independent risk factors for renal recovery during the first 3 courses. The established risk nomogram had good discriminative ability and accuracy. Involved sFLC was a key factor affecting renal recovery. Starting treatment as soon as possible after detecting RI and achieving deep hematologic remission during the first 3 courses of treatment helped achieve renal recovery and improve prognosis.

Abstract
Background and Objectives: The clinical presentation and survival factors in patients with myeloma-related kidney impairment (MRKI) at diagnosis remain a topic of ongoing research, given the complex interplay between nephrology and hematology. To date, no studies have specifically reported outcomes for these patients in Eastern Europe. Materials and Methods: We conducted a retrospective, unicentric study of consecutive newly diagnosed patients with MRKI in our tertiary nephrology service in Romania between 2015 and 2020; follow-up extended until 1 September 2022, covering a study period of 90 months. Results: We identified 89 consecutive patients with MRKI (median age 66 years, 38% male, median eGFR 5 mL/min). The majority of patients had arterial hypertension (71%) and systemic atherosclerosis (58%), and the most frequent clinical features at presentation were asthenia (75%) and bone pain (51%). Light-chain-restricted myeloma was the most common type (55%), with kappa free light chain being more frequent (53%). Among the patients, 81% presented with acute kidney injury (AKI), and 38% required hemodialysis at diagnosis. During the study period, 65% of the patients died, and hypoalbuminemia and the need for hemodialysis at diagnosis were significantly associated with mortality in multivariate analysis. Conclusions: Patients with MRKI who present to the nephrologist more frequently exhibit light chain restriction and most often present with AKI, with one-third requiring hemodialysis at diagnosis. Moreover, hypoalbuminemia and the initiation of hemodialysis at diagnosis were significantly associated with increased mortality.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Older individuals with multiple comorbidities and especially patients with multiple myeloma are at higher risk of contracting SARS-CoV-2. When patients with multiple myeloma (MM) are also affected by SARS-CoV-2 the time to start immunosuppressants is still a clinical dilemma especially when urgent hemodialysis is required for acute kidney injury (AKI). CASE PRESENTATION We present a case of an 80-year-old woman who was diagnosed with AKI in MM. The patient began hemodiafiltration (HDF) with free light chain removal combined with bortezomib and dexamethasone. The reduction of free light chains concurrently was obtained by means of HDF using poly ester polymer alloy (PEPA) high-flux filter: 2 PEPA filters were used in series during each 4-h length HDF session. A total of 11 sessions was carried out. The hospitalization was complicated with acute respiratory failure caused by SARS-CoV-2 pneumonia successfully treated with both pharmacotherapy and respiratory support. Once the respiratory status stabilized MM treatment was resumed. The patient was discharged in stable condition after 3 months of hospitalization. The follow up showed significant improvement of the residual renal function which allowed interruption of hemodialysis (HD). CONCLUSIONS The complexity of patients affected by MM, AKI, and SARS-CoV-2 should not discourage the attending physicians to offer the adequate treatment. The cooperation of different specialists can lead to a positive outcome in those complicated cases.

Abstract
Here, the International Myeloma Working Group (IMWG) updates its clinical practice recommendations for the management of multiple myeloma-related renal impairment on the basis of data published until Dec 31, 2022. All patients with multiple myeloma and renal impairment should have serum creatinine, estimated glomerular filtration rate, and free light chains (FLCs) measurements together with 24-h urine total protein, electrophoresis, and immunofixation. If non-selective proteinuria (mainly albuminuria) or involved serum FLCs value less than 500 mg/L is detected, then a renal biopsy is needed. The IMWG criteria for the definition of renal response should be used. Supportive care and high-dose dexamethasone are required for all patients with myeloma-induced renal impairment. Mechanical approaches do not increase overall survival. Bortezomib-based regimens are the cornerstone of the management of patients with multiple myeloma and renal impairment at diagnosis. New quadruplet and triplet combinations, including proteasome inhibitors, immunomodulatory drugs, and anti-CD38 monoclonal antibodies, improve renal and survival outcomes in both newly diagnosed patients and those with relapsed or refractory disease. Conjugated antibodies, chimeric antigen receptor T-cells, and T-cell engagers are well tolerated and effective in patients with moderate renal impairment.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The importance of cancer staging is determined by how accurately it can predict prognosis, and how useful it is for treatment decisions. Compared to other malignancies, multiple myeloma (MM) staging proved more challenging because of unreliable prognostic factors and wide-ranging life expectancy. As traditional MM staging continues to evolve, it requires reassessment of its prognostic and predictive value. AREAS COVERED The studies that included prognostic and predictive value of MM stages from 1975 through 2023 were selected for this review using PubMed, MEDLINE platforms. The history and evolution of MM staging are revisited, including its role in predicting survival, treatment planning and potential practical implications for the future. The role of MM staging for oncological practice and patient counseling is discussed. EXPERT OPINION The utility of the traditional MM staging remains unsatisfactory because it lacks a strong connection with the disease biology, prognosis or treatment planning. Additionally, it demonstrates a modest value for patient counseling because individual prognosis is subject to under- or overestimation, and the median survival or survival rates are difficult concepts to grasp. Although the role of MM stages may change in the future, the current research upholds the notion that MM staging benefits more medical research and clinical trials than oncological practice.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Acute kidney injury (AKI) in patients with multiple myeloma (MM) requiring renal replacement treatment (RRT) is associated with high morbidity and mortality. Early reduction of serum free light chains (FLC) using both targeted therapy against MM and intensive hemodialysis (IHD) may improve renal outcomes. We evaluated the effectiveness of two different RRT techniques on renal recovery in an MM patient population: standard dialysis procedure vs IHD with either polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) or hemodiafiltration with endogenous reinfusion (HFR). METHODS This was a multicentric retrospective study with severe AKI related to MM, between 2011 and 2018. Twenty-five consecutive patients with AKI secondary to MM requiring RRT were included. Patients that underwent IHD received six dialysis sessions per week during the first 14 days (PMMA vs HFR). All patients were diagnosed with de novo MM or first relapsed MM. Primary outcome was renal recovery defined as dialysis-free at 6 months follow-up. RESULTS A total of 25 patients were included. Seventeen patients received IHD and eight standard dialysis. All patients were treated with targeted therapy, 84% bortezomib-based. Of the 25 patients included, 14 (56%) became dialysis independent. We observed a higher proportion of patients who received IHD in the group who recovered kidney function compared with those who remained in HD (92.9% vs 36.4%, P = .007). In our study, the use of IHD to remove FLC had a statistically significant association with renal recovery compared with the standard dialysis group (P = .024). CONCLUSION Early reduction of FLC with IHD as an adjuvant treatment along with MM-targeted therapy may exert a positive impact on renal recovery.

Abstract
Since the inception of the term monoclonal gammopathy of renal significance (MGRS) in 2012 by the International Kidney and Monoclonal Gammopathy Research Group, there have been no consensus guidelines specifically pertaining to the UK regarding to patient management. We aimed to identify both regional and cross-discipline variation in current clinical practice, to provide insight and rationale for a potential standardised pathway in the future. A national survey of 88 consultants from the disciplines of haematology and nephrology was conducted between June 2020 and July 2021. Agreement was evident for aspects of the diagnostic pathway, including presenting features likely to raise suspicion of MGRS and the most pertinent confounding factors to consider before renal biopsy. However, significant variability was identified in both the cohort of diagnostic tests used, as well as urinary work-up for patients with suspected MGRS. Treatment and monitoring frequency was also an aspect of management identified as variable. Despite differences in clinical practice across the UK, MGRS diagnosis was widely regarded to be the joint responsibility of both disciplines. The results provide an indication of inter-regional and interdisciplinary differences in practice, highlighting the need for improved awareness and standardised protocol for management of MGRS that applies to the UK population.

Abstract
Proteinuria is an important sign of kidney diseases. Different protein patterns in urine associated with glomerular, tubular and overload proteinuria may be differentiated using the immunochemical detection of indicator proteins or via urinary proteins electrophoresis. Our aim was to characterize sodium dodecyl sulphate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) using commercially available 4-20% gradient gels as a method to detect and differentiate proteinuria. Our laboratory-based study used excess urine samples collected for routine diagnostic purposes from adult patients of a tertiary-care hospital, including patients with albumin/creatinine < 30 mg/g and patients with dipstick proteinuria. The limit of albumin detection was estimated to be 3 mg/L. In 93 samples with albumin/creatinine < 30 mg/g, an albumin fraction was detected in 87% of samples with a minimum albumin concentration of 2.11 mg/L. The separation of 300 urine samples of patients with proteinuria revealed distinct protein patterns differentiated using the molecular weights of the detected proteins: glomerular (albumin and higher molecular weights) and two types of tubular proteinuria ("upper" ≥20 kDa and "lower" with lower molecular weights). These patterns were associated with different values of the glomerular filtration rate (median 66, 71 and 31 mL/min/1.72 m2, respectively, p = 0.004) and different proportions of multiple myeloma and nephrological diagnoses. As confirmed using tandem mass spectrometry and western blot, the SDS-PAGE protein fractions contained indicator proteins including immunoglobulin G, transferrin (glomerular proteinuria), α1-microglobulin, retinol-binding protein, neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin, cystatin C, and β2-microglobulin (tubular), immunoglobulin light chain, myoglobin, and lysozyme (overflow). SDS-PAGE separation of urine proteins on commercially available 4-20% gradient gels is a reliable technique to diagnose proteinuria and differentiate between its main clinically relevant types.

Abstract
Multiple myeloma (MM) is a malignant clonal plasma cell disorder in the bone marrow and is the second-most common hematologic malignancy in adults. Although patients with MM have a moderate life expectancy, it remains a heterogeneous disease that often requires multiple lines of chemotherapy for durable control and long-term survival. This review outlines current management strategies for both transplant-eligible and transplant-ineligible patients as well as for relapsed and refractory disease. Advances in drug therapies have widened management options and improved survival. In this paper, we also discuss implications for special populations and survivorship care.

Abstract
We aimed to describe the clinical and biological characteristics and the prognosis of patients presenting with an additional light chain (LC) band along with a complete monoclonal protein on immunofixation (IF).An 8-year descriptive study was conducted to assess all cases with confirmed monoclonal gammopathies (MG). We studied those with an entire M-protein with 2 bands of LC of the same isotype based on the results of IF. Data were collected from patients' files.Among 548 cases of MG, we found 32 cases (5.8%) with an additional LC band. We included 28 patients (5%) with a confirmed diagnosis of multiple myeloma (MM). The m/f ratio was 2.5 with a median age of 63 years [32-80 years]. All MM patients had anemia, 16 (57%) had renal failure, 14 (50%) had lytic lesions, 9 (32%) received hemodialysis, and 7 (25%) had hypercalcemia. The free-kappa-lambda ratio was abnormal in all cases: median = 0.07 [0.002-58.57]. The mean overall survival (OS) was 22 months ± 38.76.Fifteen MM patients (48%) received chemotherapy, and 7 (22%) autologous stem cell transplants (SCT). Patients who received SCT had an OS higher than those who received other treatments (p = 0.038). OS was low in patients with high β2microglobulin levels (rho = -0.791; p = 0.001), and abnormally low free-kappa-lambda ratio (rho = -0.852;p = 0.04).The presence of an additional LC band with a complete monoclonal protein seems to identify newly diagnosed MM patients with poor outcomes and frequent renal impairment.

Abstract
Acute kidney injury (AKI), chronic renal failure, and tubular abnormalities represent the kidney disease spectrum of malignancy. Prompt diagnosis and treatment may prevent or reverse these complications. The pathogenesis of AKI in cancer is multifactorial. AKI affects outcomes in cancer, oncological therapy withdrawal, increased hospitalization rate, and hospital stay. Renal function derangement can be recovered with early detection and targeted therapy of cancers. Identifying patients at higher risk of renal damage and implementing preventive measures without sacrificing the benefits of oncological therapy improve survival. Multidisciplinary approaches, such as relieving obstruction, hydration, etc., are required to minimize the kidney injury rate. Different keywords, texts, and phrases were used to search Google, EMBASE, PubMed, Scopus, and Google Scholar for related original and review articles that serve the article's aim well. In this nonsystematic article, we aimed to review the published data on cancer-associated kidney complications, their pathogenesis, management, prevention, and the latest updates. Kidney involvement in cancer occurs due to tumor therapy, direct kidney invasion by tumor, or tumor complications. Early diagnosis and therapy improve the survival rate. Pathogenesis of cancer-related kidney involvement is different and complicated. Clinicians' awareness of all the potential causes of cancer-related complications is essential, and a kidney biopsy should be conducted to confirm the kidney pathologies. Chronic kidney disease is a known complication in malignancy and therapies. Hence, avoiding nephrotoxic drugs, dose standardization, and early cancer detection are mandatory measures to prevent renal involvement.

Abstract
Monoclonal immunoglobulin deposition disease (MIDD), often associated with plasma cell dyscrasias, predominantly affects the kidneys. In this disease, hematologic response (HR) to treatment can be reliably assessed by International Myeloma Working Group (IMWG) consensus criteria, while uniform criteria for assessing renal response are lacking. We report a retrospective analysis of renal outcomes among 34 patients with MIDD. With most patients treated with bortezomib and autologous stem cell transplantation, 26 of 28 (94%) achieved very good partial HR or better. We demonstrate that both IMWG (based on estimated glomerular filtration rate, eGFR) and amyloid (based on proteinuria) criteria are needed to capture renal response: among 28 evaluable patients, 6 (21%) had isolated proteinuria, while 13 (46%) had isolated decreased eGFR. Using both criteria, which were concordant in patients with both decreased eGFR and proteinuria, 22 of 28 patients (79%) achieved a renal response, including 2 of 7 discontinuing dialyses. All 6 patients (100%) with isolated proteinuria and 7 of 13 (54%) with isolated decreased eGFR achieved renal response, suggesting that isolated proteinuria is an early manifestation of MIDD associated with reversible renal damage. Baseline eGFR predicted renal response (p = .02 by quartile) and survival (p = .02), while HR (CR vs. non-CR) did not, probably because of high HR rate. With a median follow-up of 110 months, the median overall survival was 136 months (95% CI: 79-NR) and median renal survival had not been reached. Prospective studies using uniform renal response criteria are needed to optimize the management of MIDD.

Abstract
Renal impairment (RI) used to exclude multiple myeloma (MM) patients from autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) for safety concerns. Here, we retrospectively reviewed 34 consecutively transplanted patients with creatinine clearance < 60 ml/min at ASCT in recent 5 years at our institution. Busulfan/cyclophosphamide and high-dose melphalan were both employed as conditioning regimens. We found 62% grade 1-2 oral mucositis, 12% grade 3 oral mucositis, 48% grade 3 infection, 8% grade ≥ 4 infection, 50% grade 1 transient creatinine increase, 15% cardiac adverse events, and 12% engraftment syndrome. One case of secondary platelet graft failure and 1 case of transplantation-related mortality were observed. Interleukin-6 concentration was elevated among patients with increased body temperature and/or N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide during engraftment, and close monitoring of these markers may help to predict susceptibility to cardiac events and engraftment syndrome. Adverse events occurred frequently, but the majority were manageable in this cohort. ASCT would further deepen the anti-myeloma efficacy and slightly ameliorated renal function. With a median follow-up of 26.2 months post transplantation (range: 1.6-74.8 months), the median progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) post-transplantation of patients undergoing first-line transplantation were not reached; the median PFS post-transplantation of patients undergoing rescue transplantation was 19.2 months and the median OS was not reached.

Abstract
Monoclonal Gammopathy of Undetermined Significance (MGUS) is an asymptomatic premalignant plasma cell dyscrasia with a predominate rise of the IgG immunoglobulin fraction without end-organ damage, often diagnosed incidentally. Despite its progression into various subsequent forms of hematological malignancies, MGUS remains underdiagnosed. A literature search was conducted using the Medline, Cochrane, Embase, and Google Scholar databases, including articles published until December 2022. Keywords used encompassed "Monoclonal Gammopathy of Undetermined Significance," "Plasma Cell dyscrasia," "Monoclonal gammopathy of renal significance," and "IgM Monoclonal gammopathy of Undetermined Significance," This study aimed to conduct a critical review to update knowledge regarding the pathophysiology, risk factors, clinical features, diagnostic protocols, complications, and current and novel treatments for MGUS. We recommend a multidisciplinary approach to manage MGUS due to the complexity of the illness's etiology, diagnosis, and therapy. This comprehensive review also highlights future prospects, such as developing screening protocols for at-risk populations, prevention of disease progression by early diagnosis through genome-wide association studies, and management using Daratumumab and NSAIDs.

Abstract
Plasma cell dyscrasias are a subset of hematological malignancies involving the production of monoclonal immunoglobulins. This spectrum of disorders includes asymptomatic conditions such as monoclonal gammopathy of unknown significance as well as extremely aggressive malignancies such as plasma cell leukemia. Monoclonal gammopathies are occasionally associated with renal failure, which can occur via many pathophysiological processes. The most common of these is light chain cast nephropathy, but many rare renal complications exist, including thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA) and focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS). Here, we report a patient with new renal failure with features of TMA and FSGS on biopsy and found to be secondary to plasma cell leukemia.

Abstract
The Second Revision of the International Staging System (R2-ISS) was recently introduced to improve risk stratification over that provided by the extensively applied standard revised International Staging System (R-ISS). In addition to the variables included in the R-ISS, the R2-ISS incorporates chromosome 1q gain/amplification and divides the patients into 4 groups with different survival outcomes, better stratifying patients within the R-ISS intermediate-risk. The new model was developed based on a great quantity of data from patients participating in uniform clinical trials and has not been validated in real-world clinical practice. Therefore, we retrospectively analyzed the prognostic value of the R2-ISS in 474 consecutive patients with multiple myeloma receiving immunomodulatory drugs or proteasome inhibitor-based regimens as their first-line treatment. According to the R2-ISS, 41 (8.6%), 76 (16%), 275 (58%), and 82 (17.3%) patients were identified as R2-ISS I, R2-ISS II, R2-ISS III, and R2-ISS IV, respectively. The median progression-free survival (PFS) was 48 (95% CI: 38-58), 35 (95% CI: 23-47), 24 (95% CI: 21-27), and 12 (95% CI: 7-17) months, and the estimated median overall survival (OS) was 110 (95% CI: 42-178), 88 (95% CI: 75-101), 50 (95% CI: 43-57), and 26 (95% CI: 19-33) months (p < 0.001) in the 4 groups, respectively. The R2-ISS could also classify groups with distinct survival among patients with renal impairment or classified as R-ISS II. Adjusted by age, sex, treatment approaches and transplantation status, the R2-ISS was an independent prognostic factor associated with OS with a hazard ratio of 7.055 (95% CI: 3.626-13.726) (p < 0.001) for R2-ISS IV versus R2-ISS I and 2.707 (95% CI: 1.436-5.103) (p = 0.002) for R2-ISS III versus R2-ISS I. In conclusion, our results suggest that the R2-ISS is a simple and robust risk stratification tool for patients with multiple myeloma treated with novel drugs and could be used in everyday clinical practice.

Safety and efficacy of autologous stem cell transplantation in dialysis-dependent myeloma patients-The DIADEM study from the chronic malignancies working party of the EBMT. Bone Marrow Transplant 2023; 58:424-429. [PMID: 36681775 DOI: 10.1038/s41409-023-01915-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/02/2022] [Revised: 12/27/2022] [Accepted: 01/10/2023] [Indexed: 01/22/2023]
Abstract
The role of high-dose chemotherapy followed by autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) in the treatment of myeloma (MM) patients with severe and/or dialysis-dependent renal impairment remains uncertain. We report on the outcomes of 110 patients (median age 57 years) who had become dialysis-dependent pre-ASCT and who underwent a first ASCT between 1997 and 2017. Sixty-three (57%) patients had light chain MM. All patients required dialysis (94% hemodialysis and 6% peritoneal). Forty-four of 71 (62%) patients received bortezomib-based induction regimens and 42 (39%) patients had achieved at least a very good partial response (VGPR) pre-ASCT. Melphalan dosing was as follows: ≤140 mg/m2 (82%), and >140 mg/m2 (18%). The median PFS after ASCT was 35 months (95% CI: 21.5-42.2) and the median OS 102 months (95% CI: 70.4-129.1). At 1, 2, and 5 years after ASCT, 8% (95% CI 3-14%), 13% (6-20%), and 20% (12-29%) of patients, respectively, had achieved dialysis independence. In multivariate analyses of OS and PFS including age at ASCT, response at ASCT, and year of ASCT, younger age at ASCT and better response at ASCT (CR/VGPR/PR vs. MR/SD/progression) were significantly associated with better OS and PFS.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Lenalidomide is an immunomodulatory drug used to treat multiple myeloma that requires renal dosing adjustment based on Cockcroft-Gault (CG). Various equations to estimate kidney function exist and pose a potential issue with lenalidomide dosing. OBJECTIVE The objective of this analysis was to evaluate the impact of estimating kidney function in newly diagnosed multiple myeloma patients with CG, Modification of Diet in Renal Disease (MDRD), and Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration (CKD-EPI) and their potential impact on lenalidomide dosing. METHODS Data from 1121 multiple myeloma patients at the time of diagnosis acquired from the Mayo Clinic were used to calculate creatinine clearance (CrCl) using Cockcroft-Gault with actual body weight (CGABW), ideal body weight (CGIBW), or adjusted body weight (CGAdjBW); MDRD; and CKD-EPI for each subject. Discordances in dosing were then analyzed, and lenalidomide exposure was calculated for each subject to assess impact on pharmacokinetics of lenalidomide for patients who received discordant doses. RESULTS Overall, approximately 16% of patients received a discordant dose when using MDRD or CKD-EPI instead of CGABW. The most common dose discordance was the decrease of a full dose of lenalidomide 25 mg when using CGABW down to 10 mg and when using MDRD or CKD-EPI with 53.8% to 55.6% of all discordances in this category. When assessing different body weights, the most common discordance was a decrease from 25 to 10 mg when using CGIBW instead of CGABW; the same trend was observed when using CGAdjBW instead as well. Patients were also at risk of over- or underexposure based on area under the concentration versus time curve (AUC) for discordant dosing. CONCLUSION AND RELEVANCE A significant proportion of patients are at risk of under- or overdose of lenalidomide if CKD-EPI or MDRD are used instead of CGABW. Physicians should use CGABW when estimating renal function to dose lenalidomide.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Decision-aids (DAs) may facilitate shared decision-making for patients and caregivers, by providing evidence-based information to assist healthcare professionals, patients, and caregivers in making choices about aspects of care, and/or highlighting decision factors to discuss with the potential of altering the treatment decision. These decision factors may not be well integrated in DAs. METHODS A systematic literature review was conducted in the field of multiple myeloma (MM) on peer-reviewed publications, extended with a gray literature search. Data on whether and how patient and caregiver experience elements, other than survival and physical quality of life, were mentioned as decision factors in the identified MM DAs were extracted and analyzed qualitatively. RESULTS Seventy MM DAs were found and analyzed; 51% of DAs mentioned any patient non-routinely assessed experience decision factors and only 17% mentioned any caregiver-related information. One hundred and forty potential decision factors were extracted, deduplicated and categorized into the following categories: 1) financial, 2) mode of administration / transportation issues, 3) personal beliefs and values, 4) emotional and social quality of life, 5) other medical information, 6) availability of social support, 7) caregiver burden. None of the DAs presented a comprehensive framework on all seven categories of decision factors being consider when mapping patient and caregiver experience value elements in MM. CONCLUSIONS Based on available DAs, we recommend a set of patient and caregiver experience decision factors that have the potential to affect treatment choices of patients with MM, which should be included in DAs, including MM clinical guidelines.

Transplant Cell Ther 2023; 29:55.e1-55.e9. [PMID: 36202336 DOI: 10.1016/j.jtct.2022.09.024] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/23/2022] [Revised: 08/19/2022] [Accepted: 09/24/2022] [Indexed: 11/07/2022]
Abstract
Newly diagnosed multiple myeloma (NDMM) frequently results in renal impairment (RI), and its natural course has not been fully elucidated in the era of novel agents. We aimed to identify the dynamics of renal function after autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) following induction treatment using a novel agent in transplantation-eligible NDMM patients with RI (estimated glomerular filtration rate [eGFR] ≤50 mL/min/1.73 m2) at diagnosis. The factors associated with achieving a renal response based on the term renal benefit regardless of baseline eGFR were investigated as well. In a multicenter registry database including 1795 patients with plasma cell disorder, 140 transplantation-eligible NDMM patients who developed RI at the time of initiation of treatment for NDMM were identified. They received protocol-based treatment (PBT) consisting of induction treatment using proteasome inhibitors and/or immunomodulatory drugs followed by ASCT. MM and renal responses were evaluated using the International Myeloma Working Group response criteria. To evaluate the standardized improvement of renal function irrespective of baseline eGFR, renal benefit was defined as a sustained (for at least 3 months) increase in eGFR >15 mL/min/1.73 m2. The mean patient age was 54.7 ± 7.4 years. With a mean baseline eGFR of 24.8 ± 13.9, the renal complete response (renalCR) and renal benefit rates were 49.3% and 67.9%, respectively. In a multivariable analysis, the 3 factors significantly associated with reduced likelihood of achieving both renalCR and renal benefit were age ≥55 years, light chain type NDMM, and failure to improve eGFR by 5 mL/min/1.73 m2 with supportive care when measured 3 days prior to induction therapy and at the initiation of chemotherapy. Hypertension and advanced eGFR also were associated with poor renalCR achievement. The mean eGFR improved until the time of ASCT and then decreased gradually over time. The mean eGFR improved significantly until 4 months post-PBT compared with each eGFR at previous time points, but this significant improvement disappeared by 5 months post-PBT. In a subgroup of patients who developed RI after undergoing ASCT (n = 55), the eGFR increased temporarily at 1 month post-ASCT; however, this improvement reverted to baseline at 2 months post-ASCT. Among another subgroup of 27 patients who were dialysis-dependent at the time of initial treatment, 18 (66.7%) were no longer dialysis-dependent after a median of 60 days. The best renal response was acquired early during the PBT period, and ASCT did not have a robust impact on the renal outcome. Patients who failed to achieve a renal benefit should be provided with the best supportive care for chronic kidney disease, and this simplified criterion for evaluating the renal response needs to be validated in larger studies before it can be recommended. © 2022 American Society for Transplantation and Cellular Therapy.

Abstract
Although lenalidomide-based combinations, such as lenalidomide plus a proteasome inhibitor or an anti-CD38 monoclonal antibody, improve the overall response rate, progression-free survival, and overall survival of patients with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM), there is a tendency to use these regimens as a frontline treatment. This strategy has led to the development of refractoriness early in the disease course, usually after the patient's first treatment. Since lenalidomide-free regimens have so far shown limited efficacy in lenalidomide-refractory patients, there is an unmet need for other treatment options. In this review, we discuss the therapeutic options available to treat the general population of lenalidomide-refractory patients (mono, double and triple refractory) and the subpopulation of patients with other high-risk features such as renal failure, extramedullary disease, and high-risk cytogenetics. Moreover, new promising individual therapies and the possible impact of immunotherapy in RRMM patients are debated.

Abstract
Myeloma patients presenting with renal failure continue to have a poor prognosis despite significant advances in anti-myeloma therapy. MERIT was a randomised clinical trial (RCT), set up to evaluate if mechanical reduction of elevated free light chain levels (FLC) would result in clinical benefit. Completion of the planned seven plasma exchanges (PEs) in the first 14 days failed to show, for the exchange group, a greater reduction in FLC or any improvement in dialysis independence at 100 days or subsequently. To improve prognosis for these patients requires earlier diagnosis and prompt anti-myeloma therapy with effectiveness guided by frequent FLC monitoring.
