Abstract BACKGROUND: Pegylated liposomal doxorubicin (CAELYX®) is a liposomal formulation of doxorubicin sterically stabilized by the grafting of segments of polyethylene glycol (PEG) onto the liposomal surface. Given the demonstrated efficacy of VAD (vincristine and doxorubicin and oral dexamethasone) in Multiple Myeloma (MM) patients and the potential for CAELYX® to extend the duration of bone marrow exposure to therapeutic levels of doxorubicin, a combination regimen of CAELYX®, vincristine, and reduced-dose dexamethasone (DVD) has been actively investigated in MM patients. Studies showed that substituting CAELYX® for doxorubicin in the VAD regimen and reducing the dose of dexamethasone in MM patients improves the safety profile and convenience of the treatment regimen without compromising efficacy. Due to potential differences in metabolism of these patients, safety and efficacy results may vary. Thus, we carried out this study in 82 newly diagnosed MM patients in China, in order to demonstrate the efficacy and safety profiles of DVD. METHODS: Patients (n=82) from 15 sites were recruited in this study. CAELYX® (40mg/m2) was infused intravenously over 60-minutes, administered every 28 days. Vincristine (2.0mg) was administered intravenously on Day 1 of each cycle. Dexamethasone (40 mg) was administered from Day 1- Day 4 of each cycle orally or intravenously. The treatment was repeated every 28 days for 4 cycles. RESULTS: Upon ITT analysis, the overall response rate was approximately 68% (56/82); 11% of the patients achieved complete remission (CR), 40% achieved partial response (PR), 17% achieved minimal response; 15% had stable disease (SD), and 12% o had progressive disease (PD) after the treatment. The cumulative 4-month progression-free survival (PFS) was 88%. The incidence of all the adverse events was 46%. The most common non-hematological toxicities were palmar-plantar erythrodysesthesia (13.4%) and stomatitis (6.1%), respectively. CONCLUSION: Pegylated liposomal doxorubicin, vincristine and reduced dose dexamethasone combination (DVD) regimen is an effective and safe regimen in newly diagnosed multiple myeloma patients in Chinese population.

Abstract Object: To investigate the short-term and long-term efficacy and toxicity of pegylated liposomal doxorubicin, vincristine and dexamethasone (DVD) in patients with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma (MM). Methods: Twenty-five patients (13 males, 12 females, median age 55 years) with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma were treated with pegylated liposomal doxorubicin 40 mg/m2 and vincristine 2 mg intravenously on day 1 plus dexamethasone 40 mg intravenously or orally on days 1–4 (DVD) for median 4.5 (2–8) cycles. Treatment was repeated every 4 weeks. Response was evaluated according to the International Uniform Response Criteria for Multiple Myeloma (2006) before initiation of each course. Adverse events were graded according to the National Cancer Institute Common Toxicity Criteria, version 3.0. Results: After 4.5 (2–8) courses of the median cycles, clinical response was observed in 20 patients (80%), including complete response in 4 (16%), very good partial response in 3 (12%), partial response in 10 (40%), minimal response in 3 (12%) and stable disease in 2 (8%). The median time to initial response was 1.2 months and the median time to best response was 4 months. After 25 (2–50) months of median follow-up, the median progression-free survival was 20 months, while the median overall survival has not yet been reached. The overall survival rate was 72% (18/25). The most common adverse events were gastrointestinal symptoms (nausea and vomiting in 10, constipation in 9 patients), neutropenia (7 patients), anemia (6 patients) and thrombocytopenia (4 patients). DVD was associated with more hand-foot syndrome (4 patients) and mucitis (2 patients). Conclusions: DVD scheme is an effective therapy with a high response rate and manageable toxicities for patients with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma.

PurposeAlthough pegylated liposomal doxorubicin (PLD) has been approved in combination with bortezomib for relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma (MM), the antitumor efficacy and tolerability of PLD in different regimens for patients with newly diagnosed MM (NDMM) have not been fully defined.MethodsA total of 249 NDMM patients diagnosed between January 2008 and October 2019 were included in this retrospective study. Among them, 112 patients received vindesine-based chemotherapy (35 vDD and 77 vAD) and 137 received bortezomib-based chemotherapy (58 VDD and 79 VD).ResultsIn bortezomib-containing regimens, the complete response rate (48.3 vs. 30.4%, p = 0.033) and very good partial response or better rate (74.1 vs. 57.0%, p = 0.038) of VDD were significantly higher than those of VD subgroup. While no superior survival was found between VDD and VD subgroup. In vindesine-containing regimens, no statistical significance was identified between vDD and vAD in terms of response rate and survival. The occurrence rates of all cardiac AEs were similar between VDD and VD.ConclusionsThe vDD regimen was similar with vAD in the aspect of response rate, survival, and toxicity in NDMM patients. The addition of PLD to VD brought deeper response without increased toxicity, while no superior survival was found.

8517 Background: Three-drug combinations with lenalidomide (Revlimid, Rev) and bortezomib (Velcade, Vel) are highly active in previously untreated multiple myeloma (MM). Among the most active are RVD (Revlimid, Velcade, Dexamethasone) and VDD (Velcade, Doxil, Dexamethasone) with ≥ PR rate of 100% and 93%, and a CR/nCR rate of 44% and 40%, respectively. Pre-clinical evaluations suggest that adding pegylated liposomal doxorubicin hydrochloride (Doxil, Dox) to RVD (RVDD) may have higher activity. This phase I/II study was designed to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of RVDD, assess safety and evaluate efficacy of this 4-drug regimen in newly diagnosed MM. Methods: Four dose levels are being evaluated: Rev 15–25 mg (days 1–14), Vel 1.3 mg/m2 (days 1, 4, 8, 11), dexamethasone (Dex) 20/10 mg (cycles 1–4/5–8; days of and after Vel), Dox 20 and 30 mg/m2 (day 4), with dose assignment for patients (pts) according to the TITE-CRM algorithm. Eight 21-day cycles are planned with 38 pts to be treated at the MTD in phase II. Pts who achieve ≥ PR can proceed to autologus stem cell transplant (ASCT) after ≥ 4 cycles, while all others receive 21-day maintenance cycles with Rev (days 1–14), Vel (day 1 and 8), and Dex (days of and after Vel) at the doses tolerated by the end of initial treatment. Results: The study has enrolled 23 pts to date. Four pts received level 1 (Rev/Dox 15/20), 11 pts level 2 (Rev/Dox 20/20, and 8 pts level 3 (Rev/Dox 25/20). Nineteen pts are evaluable for toxicity after completion of a median of 4 cycles (range 1–8). Two pts developed DLT at dose level 2, consisting of grade (G) 3 asymptomatic neutropenia and G3 elevation of transaminase. The MTD has not been reached. Overall, toxicities have been manageable with no additional G3 hematologic events. There have been 4 additional G3 non-hematologic events including one case each of pneumonia, DVT, fatigue, and hypotension. After a median of 12 (range 3–24) weeks of treatment, preliminary response rates by modified EBMT/UC in 19 evaluable pts are: 95% ≥ PR, 47% ≥ VGPR, 26% CR/nCR. Conclusions: RVDD is well tolerated in newly diagnosed MM and appears highly active with an overall response (≥ PR) of 95%. Accrual is ongoing, with updated toxicity and efficacy data to be presented at the meeting. [Table: see text]
