Cancers, Vol. 15, Pages 5846: Does the Simultaneous Introduction of Several Pharmaceuticals in the Post-Lenalidomide Era Translate to Better Outcomes in Relapse Refractory Multiple Myeloma? Findings from the Real-World Innovation in Multiple Myeloma (REAL IMM) Study
idis Evangelos Terpos Newer methodologies are needed to assess the real-world comparative effectiveness of a “generation” of pharmaceutical innovation versus the prior standard of care. This chart review study aimed to first evaluate the cumulative clinical benefits of pharmaceutical innovation in everyday relapse/refractory multiple myeloma before analyzing findings in the context of respective real-world outcomes from the bortezomib/lenalidomide era. Study endpoints included the 52-week PFS rate in second and third line of therapy (LOT), mPFS-2 across the first and second LOT, the ORR, r...

Survival trends and prognostic factors of patients with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma accompanied with extramedullary disease
Conclusions: We established a risk model incorporating extramedullary disease that provides accurate and individualized survival estimates for patients with NDMM.PMID:38086395 | DOI:10.1080/07853890.2023.2281657 (Source: Annals of Medicine)

Recent trends in incidence, survival and treatment of multiple myeloma in Finland – a nationwide cohort study
This study aimed to determine the incidence and prevalence of multiple myeloma (MM) in Finland in 2015 –2019, to characterize adult patients newly diagnosed with MM, and to follow-up their overall survival (OS) and treatment patterns until the end of 2020. We sourced the data on inpatient and outpatient diagnoses, outpatient medication use, and date of death from comprehensive, nationwide registers . We identified 2037 incident patients with MM in 2015–2019. On average, the annual crude incidence was 8.8 and the age-standardized incidence (World Standard Population) was 3.3 per 100,000. The crude prevalence at the end ...

Pomalidomide, Bortezomib, and Dexamethasone in Lenalidomide-Pretreated Multiple Myeloma: A Subanalysis of OPTIMISMM by Frailty and Bortezomib Dose Adjustment
CONCLUSION: Frail patients treated with PVd demonstrated a higher ORR and a longer PFS and DoT vs. Vd, despite a higher frequency of grade ≥ 3 TEAEs leading to pomalidomide, bortezomib, and/or dexamethasone discontinuation. Therefore, PVd treatment may improve patient outcomes, regardless of frailty.PMID:38072743 | DOI:10.1016/j.clml.2023.10.009 (Source: Clinical Lymphoma and Myeloma)

Immunomodulation of NK, NKT and B/T cell subtypes in relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma patients treated with pomalidomide along with velcade and dexamethasone and its association with improved progression-free survival
ConclusionThe prognostic significance for the number of immune markers is only seen in the PVd arm and none of these immune markers exhibit prognostic values in the Vd arm. This study demonstrates the importance of the immunomodulatory effects and the therapeutic benefit of adding pomalidomide to Vd treatment. (Source: Frontiers in Oncology)

Drug-induced tumoral disease: A global pharmacovigilance database analysis
DISCUSSION: Our results show that the main pharmacological mechanisms are associated with ranitidine (link with levels of N-nitrosodimethylamine in ranitidine-based drugs), gene-activating drugs (pioglitazone: link with agonist effects on PPAR-γ gene activation), various pharmacological families with immunosuppressive effects (protein kinase inhibitors, immunomodulators, azathioprine, etc.), certain types of protein kinase inhibitors whose oncogenic mechanisms remain unclear (regorafenib, sorafenib, imatinib, ibrutinib, etc.), and hormone antagonists (tamoxifen, letrozole). Special monitoring of patients exposed to these ...
