ABSTRACT
Very scarce data exist about outcomes of relapsed multiple myeloma patients who have failed proteasome inhibitor, immunomodulatory drug, anti-CD38 monoclonal antibody and therapies targeting B-cell maturation antigen (BCMA) (Quad-class exposed [QCE]). In this retrospective single-centre study, we determined progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) from anti-BCMA failure in 45 QCE patients. Seven (16%) patients received antibody-drug conjugate, 20 (44%) bispecific antibodies and 18 (40%) CAR-T cell. Thirty patients (67%) received ≥1 subsequent line of treatment. PFS was 4.4 months (95% CI = 2.4-12.5) and OS 6.3 months (95% CI = 3.9-14.4). Having an adverse prognosis, QCE myeloma patients remain an unmet medical need.

Cytarabine-based immuno-chemotherapy followed by autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) consolidation is standard of care for fit patients with Mantle Cell Lymphoma (MCL). BEAM (Carmustine, Etoposide, Aracytine, Melphalan) is among the most frequently used conditioning regimen. Studies comparing BEAM with Bendamustine-EAM (BeEAM) have suggested that patients treated with BeEAM have a better progression-free survival (PFS). We performed a cross-study analysis to better evaluate BeEAM. Thirty-five patients from a retrospective study who received R-DHAP/BeEAM were compared to 245 patients from the LyMa trial (NCT00921414) who all received R-DHAP followed by R-BEAM. PFS and Overall Survival (OS) were estimated using Kaplan-Meier methods. At 2 years there was no difference between R-BEAM and BeEAM in either PFS (84.9% versus 87.9%; p = 0.95) or OS (91.8% versus 94.2%; p = 0.30). Analyses were repeated on a propensity score to reduce biases. Each patient from the BeEAM cohort (n = 30) was matched to three patients from the R-BEAM cohort (n = 90) for age, sex, MIPI score, pre-transplant status disease and rituximab maintenance (RM). PFS and OS at 2 years remained similar between R-BEAM and BeEAM with more renal toxicity in BeEAM group. MCL patients who received R-DHAP induction before ASCT have similar outcome after R-BEAM or BeEAM conditioning regimen.
