Treatment of Relapsed and Refractory Multiple Myeloma in Patients with p53 Deletion.
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Abstract p53 deletion by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) has been reported in about 10% of newly diagnosed patients (pts) with multiple myeloma (MM) and has been associated with a poor prognosis. Previous data from our centre has demonstrated that the progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) of these pts after a single autologous stem cell transplant (ASCT) is only 16.9 and 48.2 months, respectively, compared to 24.4 and 76.6 mos, respectively, in all pts transplanted during the same time period (Mikhael et al, Blood2007; 110: abstract 953). Minimal information is available on the treatment (Tx) and course of these pts following disease progression. Therefore, we performed a retrospective review of all MM pts treated at our institution who were found to have p53 deletion. We identified 31 pts with relapsed/refractory (rel/ref) MM with this cytogenetic abnormality. At diagnosis, median age was 54 years (range, 31–70), hemoglobin 97 g/L (range, 67–149), creatinine 96 μmol/L (range, 28–1751), beta 2-microglobulin 314 nmol/L (range, 225–437), CRP 3 mg/L (range, 2–7) and LDH 205 U/L (range, 82–478); 58% were male. Immunoglobulin subtypes included: IgG (14 pts), IgA (8 pts), IgD (2 pts) and light chain only (7 pts). Concomitant cytogenetic abnormalities included 13q deletion in 68% and t(4;14) in 67% of pts evaluable. Thirty-nine percent developed plasma cell leukemia (PCL) at some point in the disease course, which was associated with a poor OS (p=0.005). All but 5 had undergone prior ASCT with a median time from diagnosis to ASCT of 8 (95% CI, 4–145) mos. Txs given for rel/ref MM consisted of the following regimens: thalidomide-based in 15, bortezomib-based in 12, lenalidomide-based in 11, alkylating agents in 9 and steroids only in 5 pts, and other regimens (D-PACE or investigational drugs) in 7 pts. The median follow-up from diagnosis in these pts is 45 (95% CI, 4–145) mos. The overall response rate (≥PR) (ORR), median PFS and median OS from the start of each regimen is shown below. Agent Median duration of Tx (mos) ORR(%) Median PFS (mos) Median OS (mos) Thalidomide 6.2 20% 5.0 11.9 Bortezomib 5.2 50% 5.6 36.1 Lenalidomide 10.6 60% 4.8 36.1 Alkylating agents 6.0 11% 5.1 30.0 Steroids 1.9 20% 1.9 33.4 Other 2.2 43% 6.3 33.4 We conclude: 1) Median PFS in pts with the p53 deletion is less than 6 months, with an OS of 2.5–3 yrs; 2) novel agents other than thalidomide produce the highest ORR in rel/ref MM with p53 deletion; 3) the short OS in the thalidomide group is likely related to the unavailability of other novel agents for subsequent relapses, as the majority of the pts were treated before 2004; 4) better strategies/drugs are required for these pts.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human 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 source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
