The multicenter, phase III GMMG ReLApsE trial (EudraCT-No:2009-013856-61) randomized relapsed and/or refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM) patients equally to lenalidomide/dexamethasone (LEN/DEX, 25mg days 1-21/40mg weekly, 4-week cycles) re-induction, salvage high dose chemotherapy (sHDCT, melphalan 200mg/m2), autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) and LEN maintenance (10mg/day; transplant arm, n=139) versus continuous LEN/DEX (control arm, n=138). Ninety-four percent of patients had received frontline HDCT/ASCT. We report an updated analysis of survival endpoints with a median follow-up of 99 months.

Patients with multiple myeloma (MM) without high-risk cytogenetic abnormalities are classified as having standard-risk MM (SRMM), and data focusing on their outcomes after autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (autoHCT) are limited. We sought to evaluate survival outcomes for patients with SRMM receiving autoHCT, and to elucidate factors that impact these outcomes. This was a single-center retrospective analysis that included consecutive MM patients who received upfront autoHCT between 2013 and 2021, had available cytogenetic information and had no high-risk chromosomal abnormalities on fluorescence in situ hybridization, defined as t(4;14), t(14;16), del(17p) or 1q21 gain or amplification.

Objective: To investigate the safety, efficacy, and prognosis of high-dose melphalan in combination with autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (ASCT) for the treatment of multiple myeloma (MM).
Methods: The clinical data of 17 patients with newly diagnosed MM who underwent ASCT as first-line consolidation therapy at the Yijishan Hospital of Wannan Medical College from March 2020 to October 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. The safety, efficacy, and prognosis of this treatment approach were evaluated.

Background/aim: Autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) is the standard strategy after induction therapy for newly diagnosed transplant-eligible multiple myeloma. High-dose melphalan (HDM) conditioning has been the recommended treatment regimen for a long time. No other conditioning regimen has been proven safer and more effective.

Objectives: To characterize variations in real-world treatment patterns in multiple myeloma (MM) in Portugal over a 5-year period.
Methods: A retrospective cohort multicenter study using secondary data of national hospital drug consumption database from 11 Portuguese public hospitals between 2017 and 2022.
Results: Number of MM-treated patients increased 53% over 5 years (from 825 to 1266 patients).
