PURPOSE Salvage autologous stem-cell transplantation (sASCT) in patients with multiple myeloma (MM) relapsing after a prior autologous stem-cell transplantation leads to increased remission duration and overall survival. We report a comprehensive study on patient-reported outcomes, including quality of life (QoL) and pain in sASCT. METHODS Patients were randomly assigned to either sASCT or nontransplantation consolidation (NTC). Pain and QoL were assessed as secondary outcomes using validated QoL instruments (European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer QLQ-C30 and myeloma-specific module, QLQ-MY20; the Brief Pain Inventory [Short Form]; and the Leeds Assessment of Neuropathic Symptoms and Signs [Self-Assessment] scale). RESULTS A total of 288 patients (> 96%) consented to the QoL substudy. The median follow-up was 52 months. The European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer QLQ-C30 Global health status scores were higher (better) in the NTC group at 100 days after random assignment ( P = .0496), but not at later time points. Pain interference was higher (worse) in the sASCT group than in the NTC group at 6 months after random assignment ( P = .0267), with patients with sASCT reporting higher scores for Pain interference with daily living for up to 2 years after random assignment. Patients reporting lower concerns about adverse effects of treatment after sASCT had a time to progression advantage. CONCLUSION Patients with sASCT with relapsed MM demonstrated a comparative reduction in QoL and greater impact of treatment adverse effects lasting for 6 months and up to 2 years for pain, after which patients who had received sASCT reported better outcomes. Patients who experienced lower adverse effects after sASCT had longer time to progression and overall survival, showing the need to improve symptom management peritransplantation. To our knowledge, this study provides the most comprehensive picture of QoL before and after sASCT in patients with relapsed MM.

Abstract Abstract 4548 High-dose chemotherapy followed by autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) is currently standard treatment for younger patients with multiple myeloma (MM). In the face of almost inevitable disease relapse, there is growing evidence for second ASCT as salvage therapy in certain patient groups. However, few published data exist regarding efficacy and safety of third ASCT in relapsed disease. We retrospectively analysed the results of eight patients treated at a single UK institution who each received three separate autologous stem cell transplants for relapsed MM between May 1997 and April 2012. There were four men and four women. Median age at diagnosis was 48 years (range, 25–64 years). Paraprotein isotype was IgA in two patients and IgG in the remaining six patients. At the time of 1st transplant, seven patients were in partial response (PR) and one in complete response (CR). Conditioning melphalan dose was 200mg/m2 in all but two patients who received 140mg/m2. Three patients entered CR following 1st transplant and four patients showed PR. Median time to disease progression was 31 months (range, 11.8–52.9 months). Prior to 2nd transplant, five patients achieved very good partial response (VGPR) and three PR with induction chemotherapy. Melphalan dose was 200mg/m2 in five patients and 140mg/m2 in the remaining three. Median time to disease progression was 22.3 months (range, 10.1– 39.6 months). At the time of 3rd transplant, two patients had achieved VGPR following induction chemotherapy, one showed PR, two stable disease (SD) and three evidence of disease progression. For the 3rd transplant, melphalan dose was reduced in most cases. Median follow up post 3rd transplant was 8.3 months (range 1.1–29.3 months). One patient died of overwhelming sepsis within one month of transplantation (treatment related mortality). At the time of analysis, five patients had relapsed following 3rd ASCT, with median time to disease progression of 10.4 months (range, 2.7–23.7 months). Three of these patients died at 3.5, 17.6 and 27.1 months post 3rd transplant. The remaining two patients are alive with no evidence of disease relapse (progression free survival (PFS) time of 3.3 and 1.3 months). Overall survival (OS) for the group from diagnosis is 62% at 10 years with a median OS from diagnosis of 149 months (range 68.5 – 189.2 months) (Figure 1). Median OS for the group from 3rd transplant is 17.6 months (range, 1.1–29.3 months) (Figure 2). Median PFS is 10.4 months (range 1.1–23.7 months). These results demonstrate that third ASCT is a possible treatment strategy for patients with relapsed MM and may prolong patient survival.

Abstract We investigated the relevance of p53 deletions to the clinical outcome of multiple myeloma (MM) patients treated with high-dose chemotherapy and autologous stem cell transplantation. Hemizygous p53 gene deletions were detected by cytoplasmic Ig-enhanced interphase fluorescence in situ hybridization (cIg-FISH) in 10 of 105 (9.5%) patients studied. p53 deletions were associated with higher serum calcium (p=0.0062) and creatinine (p=0.013) levels but there were no association with patient age, gender, β-2 microglobulin, C-reactive protein, hemoglobin, albumin, bone lytic lesions, or immunoglobulin isotype. There were no association of p53 deletions with chromosome 13q deletions, translocation t(11;14) or t(4;14). The overall response rates were similar in patients with and without p53 deletions (67% vs 71%). However, patients with p53 deletions had significantly shorter progression free (median 7.9 vs. 25.7 months, p=0.0324) and overall survival (median 14.7 vs. 48.1 months, p=0.0008) than patients without a p53 deletion. A multivariate analysis confirmed p53 deletion was an independent prognostic factor predicting shortened progression free (p=0.0009) or overall survival (p=0.0002) in myeloma patients after high-dose chemotherapy and autologous stem cell transplantation.
