This phase 1 study (clinical trial NCT00477815) was conducted to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of yttrium-90 ibritumomab tiuxetan (Y-Zevalin) with high dose melphalan (HDM) therapy in multiple myeloma (MM) patients undergoing autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT). In a 3+3 trial design, 30 patients received rituximab 250 mg/m with indium-111 ibritumomab tiuxetan (In-Zevalin) for dosimetry (day -22); rituximab 250 mg/m with escalating doses of Y-Zevalin (day -14); melphalan 100 mg/m (days -2,-1) followed by ASCT (day 0) and sargramostim (GM-CSF, day 0) until neutrophil engraftment. Each patient's In-Zevalin dosimetry data were used to calculate the dose of Y-Zevalin (in mCi) to deliver 10, 12, 14, 16, 18 or 20 Gy to the liver. Dose limiting toxicities were seen in 3 patients. The overall response rate was 73% (22/30) with stringent complete response in 2 patients; complete response, 5; very good partial response, 12; and partial response, 3. The median PFS was 16.5 months and the median overall survival was 63.4 months. In MM, the MTD of Y-Zevalin with HDM is 18 Gy to the liver. The addition of radiation with novel delivery methods such as radioimmunotherapy combined with standard transplant regimens warrants further study.

Graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) is less common in autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) recipients than in allogeneic SCT recipients. However, some cases of severe GVHD, especially involving the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, have been documented. We present a patient with primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL) exhibiting severe GI-GVHD after ASCT with busulfan/thiotepa conditioning.

JAGN1 (Jagunal-homolog1) is a ER-resident transmembrane protein which is part of the early secretory pathway and granulocyte colony-stimulating factor receptor mediated signaling. Autosomal recessively inherited variants in the JAGN1 gene lead to congenital neutropenia, early-onset bacterial infections, aphthosis and skin abscesses due to aberrant differentiation and maturation of neutrophils. In addition, bone metabolism disorders and a syndromic phenotype, including facial features, short stature and neurodevelopmental delay, have been reported in affected patients.

This retrospective study aimed to stress the advantages of autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (auto-HSCT) in treating primary MM. Ninety-four MM patients who underwent initial parallel sequential auto-HSCT were selected. Data on efficacy (efficacy evaluation, renal function and hemoglobin recovery), immune reconstitution (B-cell subsets, immunoglobulin levels, T-cell subsets, NK cells, neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), lymphocyte-to-monocyte ratio (LMR)) and hematopoietic reconstitution times were collected and analyzed.

Although survival rates for patients with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma (NDMM) have improved over recent decades, multiple myeloma (MM) remains without a cure for most. There is increasing consensus that achievement of deep remissions, especially minimal residual disease negativity (MRD -), in frontline treatment is crucial and translates into improved survival. The standard of care (SOC) for NDMM consists at minimum of a triplet regimen of therapies, with or without an autologous stem cell transplant, or a doublet regimen for certain ineligible, particularly frail patients who may have specific limitations.

From the Mallinckrodt Institute of Radiology, Washington University in St Louis, St Louis, MO.

Cutaneous manifestations of multiple myeloma are rare but, as with other extramedullary manifestations, carry a worse prognosis. We present the case of a 65-year-old man with immunoglobulin G κ multiple myeloma and prior autologous stem cell transplant. On subsequent therapy, he presented with multiple new cutaneous and subcutaneous left hip masses.
