Secondary primary malignancies during the lenalidomide–dexamethasone regimen in relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma patients
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Lenalidomide in combination with dexamethasone (Len-dex) represents a highly effective treatment in relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM) patients. However, an increased risk of secondary primary malignancies (SPMs), including myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) and acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) has been described in patients receiving lenalidomide. In order to assess the incidence and features of this complication, we reviewed 195 patients with RRMM treated with Len-dex at our institution. The median follow-up time from diagnosis of MM was 73 months (10-234 months) and from initiation of Len-dex was 19 months (1-104 months). The median duration of Len-dex for all patients was 7.8 months (range 1-90 months). The incidence rate (IR) for all SPMs from start of Len-dex was 2.37 per 100 patient-years, which reflected an IR of 1.29 for MDS/AML and 1.08 for nonhematologic malignancies (NHM). MDS was the most common SPM noted. The cumulative IR of SPM at 5 years was 1.54% from the time of MM diagnosis and 5.24% from starting Len-dex. Multivariable cumulative incidence of SPM analysis identified older age (P = 0.005) and prior number of regimens (P = 0.026) as adverse risk factors. We found more concomitant G-CSF use (P = 0.029) in patients with MDS/AML, however, causal association is not clear. The progression-free survival after Len-dex was the longest for patients in MDS/AML group, and the 5-year overall survival did not differ among groups. Although the rate of SPM was relatively low with Len-dex, concomitant G-CSF should be used judiciously and patients receiving this regimen should be observed for the development of this complication.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
