Impact of prior therapy on the efficacy and safety of oral ixazomib-lenalidomide-dexamethasone vs placebo-lenalidomide-dexamethasone in patients with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma in TOURMALINE-MM1.

Impact of prior therapy on the efficacy and safety of oral ixazomib-lenalidomide-dexamethasone vs placebo-lenalidomide-dexamethasone in patients with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma in TOURMALINE-MM1. Haematologica. 2017 Jul 27;: Authors: Mateos MV, Masszi T, Grzasko N, Hansson M, Sandhu I, Pour L, Viterbo L, Jackson SR, Stoppa AM, Gimsing P, Hamadani M, Borsaru G, Berg D, Lin J, Di Bacco A, van de Velde H, Richardson PG, Moreau P Abstract Prior treatment exposure in patients with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma may affect outcomes with subsequent therapies. We analyzed efficacy and safety according to prior treatment in the phase 3 TOURMALINE-MM1 study of ixazomib-lenalidomide-dexamethasone (ixazomib-Rd) versus placebo-Rd. Patients with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma received ixazomib-Rd or placebo-Rd. Efficacy and safety were evaluated in subgroups defined according to type (proteasome inhibitor [PI] and immunomodulatory drug) and number (1 vs 2 or 3) of prior therapies received. Of 722 patients, 503 (70%) had received a prior PI, and 397 (55%) prior lenalidomide/thalidomide; 425 patients had received 1 prior therapy and 297 received 2 or 3 prior therapies. At a median follow-up of ~15 months, PFS was prolonged with ixazomib-Rd vs placebo-Rd regardless of type of prior therapy received; HR 0.739 and 0.749 in PI-exposed and naive patients, HR 0.744 and 0.700 in immunomodulatory-drug-exposed and naive patients, respec...
