Multiple Myeloma: Induction, Consolidation and Maintenance Therapy James R. Berenson, MD Medical & Scientific Director Institute for Myeloma & Bone Cancer Research Los Angeles, CA

Establish the Goals of Therapy for the Individual Myeloma Patient Patient wants the longest life (OVERALL SURVIVAL and not simply a delay in disease returning) possible w/ therapy and a disease that has the least impact on their life! That does not necessarily mean they want the regimen w/ the highest % of CRs Remember that CRs in myeloma are based on paraprotein NOT really molecular CRs even when MRD is negative Very little difference in tumor burden between pts w/ stable disease and so-called CR

Individualize your choice for the myeloma patient based on: Renal, Bone, Marrow, Subjective, Rate of Progression Genetics? Disease Work/ Lifestyle Co-morbid conditions How active is the patient? Mobility? Is potential neuropathy an issue? (e.g.- surgeon, pianist) Diabetes mellitus (steroids) Cardiac (Adriamycin, Doxil) Neuropathy (Thalidomide)

ALCYONE: A Randomized, Open-Label, Active-Controlled, Multicenter, Phase 3 Trial of Daratumumab + VMP vs VMP Patient Population (N=706) 1 Newly diagnosed patients with multiple myeloma ineligible for autologous stem cell transplant RANDOMIZE 2 1:1* Daratumumab + VMP (n=350) 1 VMP (n=356) 1 Daratumumab 16 mg/kg IV once weekly for 6 weeks (cycle 1), followed by 16 mg/kg every 3 weeks (cycles 2-9) and every 4 weeks from week 55 onwards + VMP up to 9 cycles* 1,2 VMP up to 9 cycles* Daratumumab treatment continued until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity 1 Primary Endpoint 2 PFS Key Secondary Endpoints 2 Overall response rate Very good partial response or better Complete response or better Minimal residual disease Overall survival Additional endpoints 2 Safety Side-effect profile Time to response Duration of response Treatment with VMP has previously been established as an effective therapy for patients with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma who are ineligible for stem cell transplant in several trials 3-5 IV = intravenous; PFS = progression-free survival. *Participants received bortezomib 1.3 mg/m 2 as subcutaneous injection, twice weekly at weeks 1, 2, 4, and 5 (cycle 1) followed by once weekly at weeks 1, 2, 4, and 5 (cycles 2 to 9); melphalan 9 mg/m 2 ; and prednisone 60 mg/m 2 were orally administered on days 1 to 4 of the nine 6-week cycles (cycles 1-9). Per protocol, control arm discontinued VMP treatment after 9 cycles. Follow up for long-term survival is ongoing. Efficacy was evaluated by PFS based on International Myeloma Working Group criteria. 1. Daratumumab [Prescribing Information]. Horsham, PA: Janssen Biotech, Inc. 2. Mateos MV, et al.

ALCYONE Trial Addition of daratumumab to VMP improves ORR, CR and most importantly PFS No additional safety issues were identified including cyotpenias However, VMP is not a widely used upfront regimen in the United States Whether a similar advantage of adding daratumumab to other triplets such as RVD is unknown Whether this adds to ASCT is unknown Mateos et al. N Engl J Med 2018

Advances in Consolidation Therapy 2018 None really of significance However, let s consider autologous transplant as consolidation therapy and discuss its role in 2018

Arguments for Transplant in Myeloma Highest CR rates Higher CR associated w/ delay in time to progression (TTP) prolonged progression free survival (PFS) Older randomized trials show PFS/TTP and in some cases an overall survival advantage No additional therapy required following the transplant

Arguments for Transplant in Myeloma Highest CR rates and Higher CR are associated w/ delay in TTP prolonged PFS Older randomized trials show PFS/TTP and in some cases an overall survival advantage No additional therapy required following the transplant

Now the Highest CR Rates are w/o HDT: Frontline Carfilzomib, Lenalidomide and Dexamethasone 100 ncr scr Response (%) 80 60 40 62 42 67 45 78 61 20 0 Overall n=53 Median 12 cycles (range 1 25) 4+ Cycles n=49 Median 13 cycles (range 4 25) 8+ Cycles n=36 Median 16 cycles (range 8 25) Jakubowiak AJ, et al. ASCO 2012., Blood 2012; 120(9):1801-9

Why does CR compared to < CR delay TTP/PFS w/o improvement in OS? These are not true CRs based on M-protein becoming undetectable PCR-based molecular and FC CRs are only as sensitive as the assay Why do higher CR rates consistently delay TTP? Tumor Burden M-protein detectable 0 True CR Time Patient 3 Patient 1 Patient 2 Easy to detect this relapse CR (M-protein is absent)

Arguments for Transplant in Myeloma Highest CR rates and Higher CR rates are associated w/ delay in TTP (cannot measure progression) prolonged PFS (cannot measure progression) Older randomized trials show PFS/TTP and in some cases an overall survival advantage No additional therapy required following the transplant

Transplants: Results from Randomized Trials and Meta-analyses No consistent advantage in overall survival (OS) from randomized Phase III trials EVEN PRIOR to the availability of new drugs (IMiDs, PIs) Older French & MRC trials- Yes! PETHEMA trial- No! Only PFS BUT no OS advantage in recent trials Palumbo et al.- even w/ tandem transplants vs MP IFM French trial- vs RVD Meta-analyses show PFS BUT no OS advantage Early vs Late (at time of progressive disease) No difference in overall survival from French and US Intergroup trials Attal et al.

Arguments for Transplant in Myeloma Highest CR rates Higher CR associated w/ delay in time to progression (TTP) prolonged progression free survival (PFS) Older randomized trials show PFS/TTP and in some cases an overall survival advantage No additional therapy required following the transplant

Maintenance Studies 1 (US) and 2 (EU) evaluated lenalidomide 10 mg daily until progression or unacceptable toxicity in >1000 patients post auto-hsct 1,2 Trial Design Randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled studies conducted in newly diagnosed patients post auto-hsct following induction therapy Select Inclusion Criteria Patients aged 18-70 years in Study 1; <65 years in Study 2 at the time of diagnosis In both studies, patients needed at least a stable disease response following hematologic recovery and CrCl 30 ml/min CrCl, creatinine clearance. *PFS was defined from randomization to the date of progression or death, whichever occurred first.

Overall Survival Data for Lenalidomide (LEN) Maintenance Therapy From the Two Pivotal Post-Autotransplant Studies Median Overall Survival for Maintenance Studies 1 and 2 LEN Placebo HR (95% CI) Maintenance Study 1 0.59 (0.44, 0.78) Maintenance Study 2 0.90 (0.72, 1.13) Study 1 (US) n=231 n=229 7.0 years (95% CI 5.9, 8.6) 9.3 years (95% CI 8.5, NE) Study 2 (EU) n=307 n=307 7.3 years (95% CI 6.7, 9.0) 8.8 years (95% CI 7.4, NE) 0 2 4 6 Overall Survival (Years) 8 10 Thus, maintenance LEN therapy is standard of care posttransplant

Transplants in 2017 for Myeloma No overall survival (OS) advantage of early autotransplant from any recent randomized trials Highest CR rates are w/o transplant (i.e. CLD) All patients now receive posttransplant maintenance lenalidomide so there is no treatment-free interval Treatment options are rapidly increasing Thus, compromising a patient s ability to receive these options because of toxicity from high dose therapy is important to consider Also be careful interpreting results (especially OS) from trials where treatment options are limited As MM patients are living longer, optimizing QOL becomes of increasing importance

NON-TRANSPLANT MM-020: A Phase 3 trial in MM that evaluated > 1600 newly diagnosed MM patients 1,2 MM-020 was a randomized, multicenter, open-label, 3-arm study that evaluated lenalidomide (LEN) + dex (Rd) until progression in newly diagnosed patients who did not receive an auto-hsct Patients were 65 years OR <65 years and refused or did not have access to an auto-hsct MM-020 Study Design (N=1623) Randomization Rd Continuous arm (n=535) Rd18 arm (n=541) MPT arm (n=547) LEN + low-dose dex until progression or unacceptable toxicity LEN + low-dose dex up to 18 cycles (72 weeks) Melphalan + prednisone + thalidomide up to 12 cycles (72 weeks) Primary endpoint was PFS The primary comparison for efficacy was between the Rd Continuous and MPT arms Secondary endpoints included OS and response rates All patients received prophylactic anticoagulation, with the most commonly used being aspirin The dose of LEN in the clinical trial was 25 mg orally once daily on Days 1 to 21 of repeated 28-day cycles with low-dose oral dex on Days 1, 8, 15, and 22 for 18 cycles The dose for dex is 40 mg orally for patients 75 years or 20 mg orally for patients >75 years In RD Continuous arm, LEN and dex were continued References: 1.

A Potential New Oral Proteasome Inhibitor Option for Maintenance Therapy for MM Press Release from Takeda on 7-11-18 Phase 3 Trial of Ixazomib as Maintenance Therapy Met Primary Endpoint Demonstrating Statistically Significant Improvement in Progression-Free Survival in Patients with Multiple Myeloma Post-Transplant TOURMALINE-MM3 is a randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind Phase 3 study of 656 patients, designed to determine the effect of ixazomib maintenance therapy on progression-free survival (PFS), compared to placebo, in participants with multiple myeloma who have had a response (complete response [CR], very good partial response [VGPR], or partial response [PR]) to induction therapy followed by high-dose therapy (HDT) and autologous stem cell transplant (ASCT). The primary endpoint is progression-free survival (PFS). A key secondary endpoint includes overall survival (OS).

Conclusions This is the first clinical trial demonstrating activity of JAK inhibitors for treating MM patients The combination of the JAK1/2 inhibitor ruxolitinib, lenalidomide and methylprednisolone overcomes resistance to lenalidomide for half of heavily pre-treated RRMM patients All responding patients were lenalidomide refractory This all oral combination was well tolerated with few Grade 3 AEs, including cytopenias These promising results have led to expansion of the current trial, and provide the basis for exploration of this and other JAK inhibitor-containing combinations for treating patients with MM and other malignant diseases

Compare Changes in sbcma to Both Serum M-Protein and SFLC among MM Patients Receiving New Therapy 3 Rationale sbcma has a much more rapid turnover in blood (half-life in blood is 24-36 hours 1 ) than M-protein sbcma levels are independent of renal function unlike SFLC 2 Thus, sbcma may provide a more rapid and accurate assessment of response status for MM patients 1 Sanchez et al.
