Randomized Studies in Early Relapse1–3 lines of Prior Therapy
• Cross trial comparisons should not be done as– Patient populations are different– Disease burden and high-risk genetics are different– Prior therapy exposures are different– As a result, outcomes of identical control arms vary
significantly between trials• Study design – duration of planned therapy – can
differ• Choice of PI- or IMiD-based partner depends on prior
treatment• Triplets consistently perform better than doublets
Measure of PFS/OS Across the Entirety of the Study Duration: Hazard Ratio
Use/Benefits
• Estimates the risk of progression and/or death in investigational arm vs control arm at any given point in a study1*
• HR is assumed to remain constant over time, so it can be used to encapsulate the overall benefit of one arm vs another across the study population and throughout the entire study period1
• Visualized as the difference between the two curves of a Kaplan-Meier survival plot2
Limitations
• Relative measure that is not immediately associated with a concrete value or unit of time1,3
Hypothetical Kaplan-Meier curve.*A log-rank test is conducted to determine statistical significance
between arms (represented by a P value).

• All novel agents improve PFS for high-risk patients, but still inferior to standard risk patients treated with novel therapies (ie high risk not overcome)
− Some data that PIs especially improve outcomes in t(4;14) • Future clinical trials should provide standard centralized risk assessments for all
patients and provide HRs for KM survival curves for high-risk vs standard-risk patients

Number needed to treat is less than the number needed to harm Results indicate a favorable benefit–risk profile

Cardiovascular Risks in Multiple Myeloma
1. Factors that contribute to cardiac disease in patients with multiple myeloma• Patient factors• Disease factors• Treatment factors
2. Practical treatment recommendations for preventing and managing cardiac adverse events following carfilzomib treatment
What to Consider Prior to Carfilzomib Treatment
▶ Identify and assess potential risk of cardiac AEs in patients at risk:1,2
– Increased age: ≥ 75 years of age may be at increased risk– Uncontrolled hypertension – Amyloid– Pre-existing cardiac failure (NYHA Class III and IV)– Coronary Artery Disease – angina, recent myocardial infarction (within prior 4 months2)– Conduction abnormalities/ arrhythmias uncontrolled by medications– Prior anthraycline use
▶ Risk mitigation measures:– Optimize management of hypertension and active cardiac failure and consider cardiologist consultation before
initiating Kyprolis treatment1-3
• evaluate for active ischemia – EKG, stress test• assess baseline EF/contractility and BNP• Optimize anti-hypertensive therapy
– Educate patient re signs and symptoms of heart failure– Pay attention to dosing of carfilzomib (20/36/56/70), schedule (qwk vs biw), and partner drugs (IMID,
mAb, cyclophosphamide) - do not escalate higher than 56 mg/m2 q week with IMiD
▶ Plan fluid management:– Establish baseline weight of patient4– Oral: 30 mL fluid per kg at least 48 hours before Cycle 1, Day 11,3
– IV: 250-500mL fluid prior to each dose in Cycle 11,3 – make sure template chemo orders reflect this– Consider reducing fluid volume in patients with increased cardiac risk1-3

Chari and Hajje BMC Cancer 2014, 14:915
▶ Cardiac adverse events can occur due to host, disease, and treatment factors ▶ MM patients are at a greater risk of CV disease due to factors inherent to their
demographics and effects of multiple myeloma itself▶ Ideally randomized double blinded phase 3 studies with adjustment for time on
therapy are required to elucidate treatment contribution to cardiac Aes▶ Carfilzomib has a favorable benefit-risk profile
– While low rates of cardiac AEs occur more frequently with carfilzomib than controls, events are generally manageable
• Manageability of hypertension and cardiac failure events as evident by low rates of treatment discontinuation due to cardiac AEs
• Management strategies may assist in the prevention and treatment of cardiac events– Number needed to treat is << Number needed to harm – ENDEAVOR and ASPIRE have shown an overall survival benefit with carfilzomib
▶ To reduce both the burden of potential cardiovascular complications and the number of patients disqualified from specific multiple myeloma treatment because of emergent cardiovascular disease: – Careful initial cardiovascular and renal evaluation before starting treatment that is associated
with cardiovascular adverse events2,3
– Aim for optimal control of preexisting cardiovascular risk factors2,3
– Institute ongoing cardiac safety monitoring for early signs of cardiovascular adverse events and timely implementation of preventive or therapeutic measures3

Conclusions: Cardiovascular Risk in Myeloma
52
Conclusions: Relapsed Multiple Myeloma
First Relapse: ▶ Response rate and PFS progressively diminish with each relapse▶ 3-drug therapy results in superior efficacy
– In older/frail patients, consider monoclonal antibody–based triplets
▶ Select evidence-based regimen based on refractoriness to backbone control arms (lenalidomide vs bortezomib vs in near future daratumumab!)
– Consider hazard ratios for PFS improvement– Some studies with longer follow up leading to OS benefit
▶ At attainment of persistent deep response ? de-escalate to 2 or 1 drugs▶ High-risk disease remains unmet medical need with novel therapies only improving
outcomes but not overcoming high risk
Nth Relapse: as above but combination therapy even more important▶ If significant/fast progression, then consider 96-hr based chemo regimen▶ If cytopenic due to disease, consider 96-hr based chemo regimen vs salvage SCT▶ Novel agents: selinexor (single agent/combination studies) promising

Summary of High Risk outcomes
All novel therapies resulted in an improvement in PFS for high-risk patients, but none provided clear statistical evidence that they overcame high-risk status.

XPO1 in MM and Selinexor
57
• XPO1 transports >200 protein cargos from the nucleus to the cytoplasm• XPO expression increased in MM vs normal PC/MGUS/SMM• correlates with shorter survival and increase in lytic bone disease
Tai et al Leukemia 2014 Schmidt et al Leukemia 2013
• Selinexor inhibits XPO1 through reversible covalent modification of a cargo binding pocket
• Selective cytotoxicity vs. MM cell lines but not bone marrow stromal cells

• The RP2D for SVd, SRd, & SDd have been determined:• SVd – 100 mg selinexor QW + 1.3 mg/m2 V QW + 40 mg dex QW (ie 40%/25% less V/D than VD biw)• SRd – 60 mg selinexor QW + 25 mg lenalidomide + 40 mg dex QW• SDd – 100 mg selinexor QW + 16 mg/kg daratumumab + 40 mg dex QW
• Determination of RP2D for SPd + SKd with QW selinexor ongoing• Most common AEs: anorexia, nausea, fatigue, mainly grades 1/2, and thrombocytopenia mainly grades 3/4
