M.; Lee, Hans C.; Leleu, Xavier; Puig, Noemi; Rifkin, Robert M.; Terpos, Evangelos; Usmani, Saad Z.; Weisel, Katja C.; Zonder, Jeffrey A.; Bařinová, Magda; Kuhn, Matyáš; Šilar, Jiří; Čápková, Lenka; Galvez, Kenny; Lu, Jin; Elliott, Jennifer; Stull, Dawn Marie; Ren, Kaili; Maisnar, Vladimír; Medicine, School of Medicine
    Aim: To evaluate the effectiveness and safety of ixazomib-lenalidomide-dexamethasone (IRd) in relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma in routine clinical practice. Patients & methods: Patient-level data from the global, observational INSIGHT MM and the Czech Registry of Monoclonal Gammopathies were integrated and analyzed. Results: At data cut-off, 263 patients from 13 countries were included. Median time from diagnosis to start of IRd was 35.8 months; median duration of follow-up was 14.8 months. Overall response rate was 73%, median progression-free survival, 21.2 months and time-to-next therapy, 33.0 months. Ixazomib/lenalidomide dose reductions were required in 17%/36% of patients; 32%/30% of patients discontinued ixazomib/lenalidomide due to adverse events. Conclusion: The effectiveness and safety of IRd in routine clinical practice are comparable to those reported in TOURMALINE-MM1.

    Rates of Influenza and Pneumococcal Vaccination and Correlation With Survival in Multiple Myeloma Patients
    (Elsevier, 2023) Thompson, Michael A.; Boccadoro, Mario; Leleu, Xavier; Vela-Ojeda, Jorge; van Rhee, Frits; Weisel, Katja C.; Rifkin, Robert M.; Usmani, Saad Z.; Hájek, Roman; Cook, Gordon; Abonour, Rafat; Armour, Mira; Morgan, Kathryn E.; Yeh, Su-Peng; Costello, Caitlin L.; Berdeja, Jesus G.; Davies, Faith E.; Zonder, Jeffrey A.; Lee, Hans C.; Omel, Jim; Spencer, Andrew; Terpos, Evangelos; Hungria, Vania T. M.; Puig, Noemi; Fu, Chengcheng; Ferrari, Renda H.; Ren, Kaili; Stull, Dawn Marie; Chari, Ajai; Medicine, School of Medicine
    Background: Infections are a common reason for hospitalization and death in multiple myeloma (MM). Although pneumococcal vaccination (PV) and influenza vaccination (FV) are recommended for MM patients, data on vaccination status and outcomes are limited in MM. Materials and methods: We utilized data from the global, prospective, observational INSIGHT MM study to analyze FV and PV rates and associated outcomes of patients with MM enrolled 2016-2019. Results: Of the 4307 patients enrolled, 2543 and 2500 had study-entry data on FV and PV status. Overall vaccination rates were low (FV 39.6%, PV 30.2%) and varied by region. On separate multivariable analyses of overall survival (OS) by Cox model, FV in the prior 2 years and PV in the prior 5 years impacted OS (vs. no vaccination; FV: HR, 0.73; 95% CI, 0.60-0.90; P = .003; PV: HR, 0.51; 95% CI, 0.42-0.63; P < .0001) when adjusted for age, region, performance status, disease stage, cytogenetics at diagnosis, MM symptoms, disease status, time since diagnosis, and prior transplant. Proportions of deaths due to infections were lower among vaccinated versus non-vaccinated patients (FV: 9.8% vs. 15.3%, P = .142; PV: 9.9% vs. 18.0%, P = .032). Patients with FV had generally lower health resource utilization (HRU) versus patients without FV; patients with PV had higher or similar HRU versus patients without PV. Conclusion: Vaccination is important in MM and should be encouraged. Vaccination status should be recorded in prospective clinical trials as it may affect survival.
