Patient stratification based on diagnostic -2M and thalidomide and
lenalidomide therapy during induction
Results
• TTP was defined as disease progression or death due to
any cause
• TTP was calculated from day 0 of ASCT
• Of 231 lenalidomide patients, 46 have experienced an
event (progression or death)
• Of 229 placebo patients, 95 have experienced an event
(p < 0.0001)
• Estimated hazard ratio of 0.40, thus a 60% reduction in
the risk of disease progression with lenalidomide

CALGB 100104,
follow up to 12/17/2009
ITT Analysis with a Median Follow-up from
transplant of 17.5 months (p < 0.0001)
Results
• Maintenance therapy with lenalidomide when compared to
placebo will significantly prolong time to disease progression
• Currently, there is no difference in OS at a median follow-up of
1.5 years post-ASCT
• Lenalidomide prolonged TTP within patient stratification by high
and low β2M, and prior thalidomide or lenalidomide induction
therapy
• Lenalidomide maintenance produced some hematologic toxicity,
but this was not severe with dropouts due to all AEs at 12%
McCarthy et al, ASH 2010 abstr 37
Results
• 86 of ~ 110 eligible placebo patients started lenalidomide therapy
• As of November 2010, 122 lenalidomide patients and 86 placebo
patients remain on lenalidomide
• 25 new malignancies reported so far
– 4 before randomization
– 15 of 231 on lenalidomide arm
– 6 of 229 on the placebo arm
• Of the 25 new malignancies, there are 5 cases of AML/MDS
– 2 MDS cases did not receive lenalidomide
– Of 3 MDS/AML lenalidomide pts, 1 received breast cancer therapy in the past

Conclusions
Bortezomib based treatment improves PFS (median 36 m vs 27 m)
and OS (median not reached) in patients with newly diagnosed
transplant candidates
Bortezomib maintenance is well tolerated and induces additional
responses in patients including nCR/CR
Bortezomib treatment overcomes poor risk caused by creatinin > 2
mg/dL and del13/13qBortezomib partly overcomes poor risk caused by t(4;14) and 17pAfter VAD/HSM/ASCT also additional responses are achieved with

Summary
• All three regimens (VcD, VcTD, VcMP) were active in elderly patients
with newly diagnosed MM
 Grade ≥3 AEs, serious AEs, PN and study discontinuations due to AEs
were highest in the VcTD arm
• Maintenance with single-agent Vc post induction was well tolerated
 Compared with post-induction rates, the rates of all-grade and grade ≥3
PN did not increase substantially in all three treatment arms
• Vc maintenance resulted in increased ≥VGPR rates in all three arms
• PFS appeared similar between the treatment arms in the ITT
population
 Median follow up 13.4 months (ITT population)
 Patients continue to be followed for progression and survival status

• SC administration has an improved safety profile
 significantly fewer all-grade, grade 2, and grade 3 PN

Elotuzumab: Background
Richardson et al, ASH 2010 abstr 864
• Elotuzumab (HuLuc63) is a humanized monoclonal
•
•
IgG1 antibody targeting human CS1, a cell surface
glycoprotein1,2
CS1 is highly and uniformly expressed on MM cells1–3
 Restricted expression on NK cells
 Little to no expression on normal tissues
 Clinical trial of Elotuzumab in MM achieved SD
In a MM xenograft mouse model, the antitumor activity
of elotuzumab was enhanced by the addition of
lenalidomide4

Conclusions and Future Directions
1.
Combination novel therapy represents a new treatment paradigm
in MM targeting the tumor cell in its microenvironment which has
markedly improved OR, CR, EFS and OS.
2.
Ongoing oncogenomic and proteomic studies are informing
clinical protocol design and identifying novel therapeutic targets.
3.
Rationally-designed combination therapies (IMiDs, proteasome
inhibitors, HDAC inhibitors, and MoAbs) will achieve durable CR
in the majority of pts
4.
Genomics will allow for improved patient classification and
personalized medicine in MM.
