GSE116324 RNA-Seq of newly diagnosed patients in the PADIMAC study leads to a bortezomib/lenalidomide decision signature

Contributor : Mike ChapmanSeries Type : Expression profiling by high throughput sequencingOrganism : Homo sapiensImproving outcomes in multiple myeloma will not only involve development of new therapies, but better use of existing treatments. We performed RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq) on samples from newly diagnosed patients enrolled into the phase II PADIMAC study. Using an empirical Bayes approach and synthetic annealing, we developed and trained a seven-gene signature to predict treatment outcome. We tested the signature on independent cohorts treated with bortezomib- and lenalidomide-based therapies. The signature was capable of distinguishing which patients would respond better to which regimen. In the CoMMpass dataset, patients who were treated correctly according to the signature had a better progression-free and overall survival than those who were not. Indeed, the outcome for these correctly treated patients was non-inferior to those treated with combined bortezomib, lenalidomide, and dexamethasone (VRD).PADIMAC: Bortezomib, Adriamycin and Dexamethasone (PAD) therapy for previously untreated patients with multiple myeloma: Impact of minimal residual disease (MRD) in patients with deferred ASCT (autologous stem cell transplant)
