Objective: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of bortezomib retreatment in 76 patients with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma (MM), who previously responded to bortezomib.

Methods: Retrospective analysis of 76 MM patients, who had achieved at least a partial response (PR) on initial bortezomib therapy in our hospital from May 2006 to August 2011, received bortezomib retreatment when they relapsed or progressed.

Results: The overall response rate (ORR) was 60.5%, among them 6.5% patients achieved CR, 5.8% patients achieved very good partial response (VGPR), 38.2% patients achieved PR. Then we further stratified all patients into 3 groups according to the response of initial bortezomib therapy, including CR group, VGPR group and PR group. After bortezomib retreatment, the ORR of the 3 groups was 84.6%, 73.1% and 43.2%, respectively. According to the response of bortezomib retreatment, the patients were divided into 2 groups: group 1 who at least achieved PR, group 2 who showed no response. The median progression-free survival (PFS) after bortezomib retreatment for group 1 and 2 was 7(1-39) and 5(1-14) months, respectively (P>0.05), while the median overall survival (OS) after bortezomib retreatment was 16(2-64) and 8(1-28) months, respectively (P<0.05). Adverse events (AE) were identified in 88% patients during bortezomib retreatment, including neutropenia, diarrhea and thrombocytopenia, only 9.2%(7 patients) reached Ⅲ-Ⅳ grade of AE. Severe peripheral neuropathy occurred in only one patient.

Conclusion: Bortezomib retreatment regimen is demonstrated a higher response rate in patients who achieved deeper response in initial treatment, with no more adverse events.

Article Synopsis
  • Among 85 patients analyzed, 35.3% received PCAB with additional agents, particularly bortezomib, but high rates of severe side effects like cytopenia and febrile neutropenia were observed.
  • Some patients were able to successfully transition to CAR T-cell therapy, suggesting that PCAB may serve as a valuable bridge to newer treatments, warranting further study into its effectiveness.

Objectives: To analyze the impact of prior therapies on outcomes with selinexor, bortezomib, and dexamethasone (SVd) versus bortezomib and dexamethasone (Vd) in 402 patients with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM) in the phase 3 BOSTON trial.

Methods: Post hoc analysis of progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), and safety for lenalidomide-refractory, proteasome inhibitor (PI)-naïve, bortezomib-naïve, and one prior line of therapy (1LOT) patient subgroups.

Results: At a median follow-up of over 28 months, clinically meaningful improvements in PFS were noted across all groups with SVd.

Article Synopsis
  • A multicenter retrospective study was conducted to compare the safety and efficacy of two treatment regimens, DPd and DKd, in patients with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM) who had not previously received daratumumab.
  • The study included 187 patients, showing that although the overall response rates were similar (76% for DPd vs. 80% for DKd), DPd had higher instances of neutropenia and lower complete response rates compared to DKd.
  • Ultimately, both treatments were found to be safe and effective, with no significant differences in survival outcomes despite varying side effects between the two regimens.*

Background: A major challenge to adeno-associated virus (AAV)-mediated gene therapy is the presence of anti-AAV capsid neutralizing antibodies (NAbs), which can block viral vector transduction even at very low titers. In the present study, we examined the ability of a combination immunosuppression (IS) treatment with bortezomib and a mouse-specific CD20 monoclonal antibody to suppress anti-AAV NAbs and enable readministration of AAV vectors of the same capsid in mice.

Methods: An AAV8 vector (AAV8-CB-hGAA) that ubiquitously expresses human α-glucosidase was used for initial gene therapy and a second AAV8 vector (AAV8-LSP-hSEAP) that contains a liver-specific promoter to express human secreted embryonic alkaline phosphatase (hSEAP) was used for AAV readministration.

Daratumumab demonstrates activity as a single agent and in combination with either immunomodulatory agents (IMiDs) or proteasome inhibitors (PIs) in relapsed refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM). However, little is known about the benefit of daratumumab retreatment in daratumumab-refractory MM. This study aimed to analyze the clinical efficacy of daratumumab-based retreatment (D2) in patients who are daratumumab refractory MM.
