SOME FACTS
• Although CR with MRD should be the goal of clinical trials, NOT all patients get there.
• Having some response translates into CBR
• DCR similarly translates into improved outcomes
• This translates into delayed TNT
Questions to Ask
• Do I really need to treat this pt?
Biochemical Relapse versus Clinical Relapse
• Does the pt have new high-risk features?
Genotypic Evolution
Altered Genes per PatientMutation Load by Disease StageClonal Evolution with Progression
Additional Questions to Ask• What drugs have been used so far?
• Response to previous treatments
• How well is the patient?
• What are the associated co-morbidities?
• What are the pt’s goals/preferences?
Challenges and Opportunities in Relapsed Myeloma
– Many new treatments available
– Initial treatment options are changing (LEN moving frontline)
– Use of continuous treatment means that patients are refractory at progression (LEN maintenance)
– Data supports triplet combinations of novel agents in early relapse (exposure to multiple novel agents occurs earlier)
– Data from pivotal trials is lagging behind clinical practice

CurrentUnderstanding
• Combinations will allow us to improve responses and cure a higher fraction of patients.
• Drugs with different MOA will overcome genetic heterogeneity
• High risk disease can be identified and specifically targeted
• Aim for deep and durable response– MRD measurements insightful in clinical trials
• Continuous therapy improves outcome– Induction, upfront transplant and maintenance– Initial treatment for 12 months followed by maintenance
• Prognostic factors are evolving– High risk disease needs new drugs– Immuno-oncology will play an important role
• Tailor therapy for– Age and frailty– Renal impairment
• Supportive care– Bone health– Thromboprophylaxis– Infection
