Using fluorescence in situ hybridization we investigated amplification of chromosome band 1q21 (Amp1q21) in more than 500 untreated patients with monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS; n = 14), smoldering multiple myeloma (SMM; n = 31), and newly diagnosed MM (n = 479) as well as 45 with relapsed MM. The frequency of Amp1q21 was 0% in MGUS, 45% in SMM, 43% in newly diagnosed MM, and 72% in relapsed MM (newly diagnosed versus relapsed MM, P < .001). Amp1q21 was detected in 10 of 12 patients whose disease evolved to active MM compared with 4 of 19 who remained with SMM (P < .001). Patients with newly diagnosed MM with Amp1q21 had inferior 5-year event-free/overall survival compared with those lacking Amp1q21 (38%/52% versus 62%/78%, both P < .001). Thalidomide improved 5-year EFS in patients lacking Amp1q21 but not in those with Amp1q21 (P = .004). Multivariate analysis including other major predictors revealed that Amp1q21 was an independent poor prognostic factor. Relapsed patients who had Amp1q21 at relapse had inferior 5-year postrelapse survival compared with those lacking Amp1q21 at relapse (15% versus 53%, P = .027). The proportion of cells with Amp1q21 and the copy number of 1q21 tended to increase at relapse compared with diagnosis. Our data suggest that Amp1q21 is associated with both disease progression and poor prognosis.

Abstract Abstract 5004 Background: Interphase Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) has improved the detection of early bad prognostic genomic aberrations in Myeloma (MM) is a fast and reliable method. We used this assay in myeloma patients at diagnosis, after relapse or treatment failure. Methods: Interphase Mononuclear cells from Bone Marrow of 36 Caucasian patients, 13 men and 23 women, age ranged from 40 to 84 years (median, 64) with MM. were analyzed by LEXEL Live FISH probes, for deletions in chromosome band 13q14. 3, 17p13. 1; IGH/CCND1 translocation dual fusion and cMYC breakapart 8 Chromosome. Results: Chromosomal aberrations were detected in 16 of 33 evaluable patient samples of a total 36 patients population. The most frequent aberrations were 7/16 in 13p14. 3 band deletion (43. 75%) 7/33 (21%); 5/16 (31, 25%)patients with deletion had 17p13. 15/33 (15, 15%); 3 cMYC breakapart 3/16 (18. 75%) 3/33 (9%); IGH/CCND1 translocation in 3 patients 3/16 (18. 75%) 3/33 (9%), two of them associated one with cMYC and the other with 13p14. 3. We found other association: A)13p14. 3; 17p13. 1 and cMYC in (1/33). B) 13p14. 3 and cMYC (1/33) C) 17p13. 1; cMYC (1/33). Two patients had 8 chromosome trisomy 2/33 (6%). We foun that 13p14. 3, 17p13. 1 and cMYC association was correlated with a worst and fast evolution. Who had 13p14. 3 band deletion had a worst evolution in our patients. cMyc was associated with a poor prognosis. Conclusions: Genomic aberrations are independent prognosis factors of disease progression, chemotherapy respond and survival in Myeloma. Novel DNA molecular target and bone marrow micro environment modification drugs such as bortezomib and thalidomide or lenalidomide must be use in first line associated perhaps with standar chemotherapy drugs for improving result and consolidate this patients with autologous bone marrow transplantation avoiding the dilate of this strategic in patient with poor prognosis. Future trials must be performed to include a more complete panel of probes in Myeloma. Disclosures: No relevant conflicts of interest to declare.
