Abstract
Extramedullary multiple myeloma (EMD) is an aggressive subentity of multiple myeloma (MM) with poor prognosis. As more innovative therapeutic approaches are needed for the treatment of MM with EMD, we conducted this multicenter, non-randomized phase II trial of daratumumab in combination with dexamethasone, cyclophosphamide, etoposide and cisplatin (DARA-DCEP). A total of 32 patients (median age 59, range 35–73) were treated with DARA-DCEP. Based on the best response during the study, the complete remission (CR) rate was 35.5% and overall response rate (ORR) 67.7%. During the median follow-up of 11 months, the median progression-free survival (PFS) was 5 months and median overall survival (OS) 10 months. There were 7 long-term responders whose median PFS was not reached. The most common grade ≥ 3 hematologic AE was thrombocytopenia. The most common non-hematologic AE was nausea (22.6%), followed by dyspepsia, diarrhea and stomatitis (all 12.9%). Grade ≥ 3 daratumumab infusion-related reaction was noted in 9.7% of the patients. Except for the planned 30% dose adjustment in cycle 1, only 2 patients required DCEP dose reduction. This is one of the very few prospective trials focusing on EMD and we successfully laid grounds for implementing immunochemotherapy in MM treatment.
This is one of the very few prospective trials focusing on refractory multiple myeloma with extramdedullary disease (EMD). We successfully laid grounds for implementing immunochemotherapy in EMD treatment.

Abstract
Multiple myeloma (MM) ranks second in malignant hematopoietic cancers, and the most common anti-MM drugs easily generate resistance. CDK4/6 have been validated to play determinant roles in MM, but no remarkable progress has been obtained from clinical trials of CDK4/6 inhibitors for MM. To discover novel CDK6 inhibitors with better potency and high druggability, structure-based virtual screening was conducted to identify compound 10. Further chemical optimization afforded a better derivative, compound 32, which exhibited strong inhibition of CDK4/6 and showed high selectivity over 360+ kinases, including homologous CDKs. The in vivo evaluation demonstrated that compound 32 possessed low toxicity (LD50 > 10,000 mg/kg), favorable bioavailability (F% = 51%), high metabolic stability (t1/2 > 24 h) and strong anti-MM potency. In summary, we discovered a novel CDK4/6 inhibitor bearing favorable drug-like properties and offered a great candidate for MM preclinical studies.

Treatment patterns and effectiveness of patients with multiple myeloma initiating Daratumumab across different lines of therapy: a real-world chart review study. BMC Cancer 2021; 21:1207. [PMID: 34772368 PMCID: PMC8590284 DOI: 10.1186/s12885-021-08881-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/01/2021] [Accepted: 10/12/2021] [Indexed: 11/29/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Daratumumab, a CD38 monoclonal antibody, has demonstrated efficacy as monotherapy and combination therapy across several indications, both among newly-diagnosed and refractory patients with multiple myeloma (MM). However, there is limited evidence on treatment patterns and effectiveness of daratumumab in the real-world setting, particularly in first line (1 L). This study aimed to describe real-world treatment patterns and clinical outcomes among patients initiating daratumumab across different lines of therapy. Methods A retrospective chart review of adult patients with MM initiating daratumumab between November 2015 and March 2021 was conducted at two clinical sites in the United States. De-identified patient-level data were abstracted in an electronic case report form. Patient characteristics and treatment patterns were described. Clinical outcomes including overall response rate (ORR), progression-free survival, and time to next line of therapy were reported using descriptive statistics and stratified by line of therapy (1 L, second line [2 L] or third line or later [3 L+]). A sub-group analysis evaluated treatment patterns and ORR among patients re-treated with daratumumab. Results A total of 299 patients were included in the study (mean age: 68 years; 55% male). Among them, 26 were 1 L patients, 66 were 2 L patients, and 207 were 3 L+ patients; 110 patients (36.8%) received a stem cell transplant prior to daratumumab initiation. The mean duration of follow-up was 10 months among 1 L patients and 19 months among 2 L and 3 L+ patients. Patients who initiated daratumumab in 1 L had a 100% ORR, while those initiating in 2 L and 3 L+ had an ORR of 78.8 and 65.2%, respectively. Among re-treated patients, ORR was 66.7% during the first treatment segment, and 52.9% during the second treatment segment. Kaplan-Meier rates of progression-free survival at 12 months were 89.9, 75.2, and 53.1% among patients who initiated daratumumab in 1 L, 2 L, and 3 L+, respectively. Kaplan-Meier rates of time to next line of therapy at 12 months were 94.1, 73.4, and 50.0% among patients who initiated daratumumab in 1 L, 2 L, and 3 L+, respectively. Conclusions These findings suggest that daratumumab-based regimens are an effective treatment option across all lines of therapy, with highest response rate in 1 L.

Abstract
Background: The introduction of daratumumab into the treatment of multiple myeloma has improved outcomes in patients; however, community oncologists often dose more frequently than the US FDA-approved label. Materials and methods: Integra analyzed its database to elucidate daratumumab treatment patterns and the impact of increased utilization on the cost of care for multiple myeloma. Results: Following week 24, 671 (65%) of 1037 patients remained on daratumumab-containing regimens, with 330 patients continuing more frequent treatments than the expected once-every-4-weeks dosing described in the standard dosing schedule. Patients received an average of 14% more daratumumab doses than the FDA-approved label indicates, increasing the 1-year daratumumab costs by an estimated US$31,353. Conclusion: Daratumumab is utilized more frequently than the FDA-recommended dosing, leading to higher multiple myeloma treatment costs.

Abstract
Cellular immunotherapy is becoming a new pillar in cancer treatment after recent striking results in different clinical trials with chimeric antigen receptor T cells. However, this innovative therapy is not exempt from challenges such as off-tumor toxicity, tumor recurrence in heterogeneous tumors, and affordability. To surpass these limitations, we exploit the unique anti-tumor characteristics of natural killer (NK) cells. In this study, we aimed to obtain a clinically relevant number of allogeneic NK cells derived from peripheral blood (median of 14,050 million cells from a single donor) to target a broad spectrum of solid and liquid tumor types. To boost their anti-tumor activity, we combined allogeneic NK cells with the approved anti-cluster of differentiation 38 (CD-38) monoclonal antibody Daratumumab to obtain a synergistic therapeutic effect against incurable multiple myeloma. The combination therapy was refined with CD16 polymorphism donor selection and uncomplicated novel in vitro pretreatment to avoid undesired fratricide, increasing the in vitro therapeutic effect against the CD-38 positive multiple myeloma cell line by more than 20%. Time-lapse imaging of mice with established human multiple myeloma xenografts revealed that combination therapy of selected and pretreated NK cells with Daratumumab presented tumor volumes 43-fold smaller than control ones. Combination therapy with an allogeneic source of fully functional NK cells could be beneficial in future clinical settings to circumvent monoclonal antibodies' low therapeutic efficiency due to NK cell dysfunctionality in MM patients.

Abstract
Background The anti-CD38 monoclonal antibody daratumumab is approved as a single agent for the treatment of patients with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM) who received at least three prior lines of therapy, including proteasome inhibitor and immunomodulatory agent. A retrospective multicentric study was designed to evaluate feasibility, tolerability, and efficacy of daratumumab in monotherapy in RRMM. Methods This study included 44 consecutive RRMM patients that underwent daratumumab monotherapy after a median number of four prior therapies (range 2–9). Patients were treated in seven Sicilian centers, as part of Sicilian Myeloma Network and three Calabrian centers outside of controlled clinical trials from August 2016 through July 2020. Results The regimen was well tolerated with few grade 3–4 haematological and rare non-haematological adverse events, such as pneumonia. Definitive discontinuation was due to disease progression in 25 (57%) patients. Since three patients did not complete at least one full cycle, a total of 41 patients was evaluated for response. Overall response rate was 37%, and the disease control rate (stable disease or better) was high (73%). The best achieved responses within 6 months were very good partial remission or better (27%), partial remission (10%), minimal response (14%) and stable disease (22%). After a median follow up of 7.8 months, median progression free survival (PFS) was 7.2 months and overall survival (OS) 7.8 months. Univariate analysis showed that patients with PR or better after 6 months of therapy had longer median PFS and OS (respectively 29.5 vs 3.6 months, p=0.0001 and 30.6 vs 3.9 months p=0.0001), confirmed by multivariate analysis. Furthermore, standard cytogenetic risk and biochemical relapse type had prolonged median PFS, but not OS (respectively unreached vs 2.6, p=0.03 and 23.9 vs 6.2, p=0.05) in both univariate and multivariate analysis. Additionally, univariate analysis showed that patients treated with carfilzomib-lenalidomide-dexamethasone prior to daratumumab had significantly shorter PFS compared to pomalidomide-dexamethasone (3.4 months vs 9.3 months, p=0.03), that multivariate analysis failed to confirm. Conclusions Our findings indicate that daratumumab as single agent is safe and well-tolerated regimen in real-life, associated to prolonged PFS and OS in responding patients. No new safety signals were identified.

Abstract
Real-world outcomes of daratumumab monotherapy (DM) for relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM) have remained unclear. We conducted a multicentre retrospective study of 107 patients receiving DM for RRMM. The cohort included 64 trial-unfit patients whose characteristics could not meet inclusion criteria in two previous clinical trials (GEN501 and SIRIUS). The overall response rate (ORR), and median first and second progression-free survival (PFS1 and PFS2) and overall survival were 42·1%, and 3·6, 8·1 and 11·9 months, respectively. Refractoriness to carfilzomib and/or lenalidomide, and neutropenia (<1.0 × 109 /l) resulted in poorer ORRs. An Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group Performance Status of ≥3, neutropenia (<1.0 × 109 /l), thrombocytopenia (<75 × 109 /l), and renal failure (glomerular filtration rate of <20 ml/min/1·73 m2 ) were associated with poor PFS1 and PFS2 in respective univariate analysis. The modified trial-unfit group, based on the above factors, showed significantly negative impacts on PFS1 and PFS2 (hazard ratio 2·823 and 3·677, all P < 0·001) in multivariate analysis despite having a 34% ORR. Fatal infections occurred more often in the modified trial-unfit group than in the others (16·1% vs. 4·3%; P = 0·099). Despite failure of DM, subsequent therapy with pomalidomide-based therapy or carfilzomib-dexamethasone provided a 66·6% ORR. Real-world DM showed favourable efficacies for RRMM and, potentially, additional benefits with subsequent therapies. However, characteristics corresponding with trial-unfitness might offset the efficacy of DM.

Abstract
Daratumumab is a human anti-CD38 monoclonal antibody used in the treatment of refractory and relapsed multiple myeloma. We investigated the efficacy and safety of daratumumab therapy in a real-world setting. Ninety-nine Hungarian patients were included; 48 received monotherapy, while lenalidomide and bortezomib combinations were administered in 29 and 19 cases, respectively. Overall response rate was assessable in 88 patients, with 12 complete, 10 very good partial, 34 partial, and seven minor responses. At a median duration of follow-up of 18.6 months, median progression-free survival (PFS) among all patients was 17.0 months. These values were inferior in the bortezomib combination and monotherapy groups. Patients with early-stage disease (ISS1) had better survival results than those with stage 2 or 3 myeloma (p = 0.009). Heavily pretreated patients had inferior PFS compared to those with 1-3 therapies (p = 0.035). Patients with impaired renal function had PFS results comparable with those having no kidney involvement. There were 10 fatal infections, and the most frequent adverse events were mild infusion-associated reactions and hematologic toxicities. Our results confirm that daratumumab is an effective treatment option for relapsed/refractory MM with an acceptable safety profile in patients with normal and impaired renal function.
