    Abstract: Background. Prior studies consistently show that the use of maintenance therapy after completion of combination therapy translates into longer progression-free survival (PFS) in patients with multiple myeloma. Some studies show that maintenance therapy prolongs overall survival (OS). Typically, maintenance therapy is used in the setting of newly diagnosed multiple myeloma; however, emerging data suggest that (at least a subset of) patients in the early relapse setting, for example those who achieve MRD negativity, may also be candidates for maintenance therapy integrated with careful disease monitoring. Currently, lenalidomide is considered the standard of care for maintenance; however, there is only limited published data on long-term use, with respect to the ability to sustain MRD negativity, mechanisms of relapse, and late toxicities. We were motivated to develop a study focusing on long-term lenalidomide maintenance therapy and to study clinical and correlative data. Here, we report on sustained MRD negativity and clinical tolerability. Methods. This single arm, phase 2 was designed to enroll 100 evaluable patients. Per protocol, maintenance therapy with lenalidomide 10 mg is given days 1-21 on a 28-day cycle. The initial study design had a total duration of 36 months; it was subsequently extended with additional 24 months (i.e., total of 60 months). Per standard procedures for protocol amendments, patients were offered to re-consent for the extension. Per protocol, patients underwent bone marrow biopsies and aspirates as well as PET/CT exams at baseline, annually, at progression/end of treatment; blood work was done every 3 months. Bone marrow and blood samples were banked longitudinally per the research protocols. Based on practical considerations, the study was statistically powered for the primary end-point progression-free survival, which provided sufficient numbers of samples for the planned correlative assays focusing on MRD testing, genomic characterization of detectable disease, and profiling of the bone marrow microenvironment. All these assays were conducted in serial samples collected over time and assessed in relation to clinical outcomes. Results. A total of 100 evaluable patients meeting eligibility criteria were enrolled (63% males) between September 2015 and January 2019. Baseline characteristics include median age 63 years (range 38-86 years) and median ECOG score 1 (range 0-1). At the submission of this abstract, the median number of cycles delivered is currently 26 (range 1 to 48); 86 patients have completed 12 or more cycles, 57 patients have completed 24 or more cycles, and 29 patients have completed 36 or more cycles. MRD testing had been completed at least once in all patients. Thirty-four patients were MRD negative at enrollment. At median followup time of 28 months (range 3.4 to 45.6), 15/100 (15%) patients have progressed. Considering the entire follow-up time from initial MRD negativity to last follow-up on study, we found 39 (of 85 tested; 46%) and 25 (of 57 tested; 44%) to have evidence of 1 and 2 years sustained MRD negativity, respectively. Only 19 patients were tested for MRD at 3 years and 16 (84%) had sustained MRD negativity. Toxicities (grade 3) include neutrophil count decrease (N=9), hypertension (N=3), diarrhea (N=2), lung infection (N=2), and rash maculo-papular (N=2), and toxicities (grade 4) include sepsis (N=2) and platelet count decrease (N=1). The most common 1/2 toxicities were diarrhea (N=51), fatigue (N=33), and upper respiratory infection (N=23). Among evaluable patients, dose reductions of lenalidomide due to toxicities and tolerability issues were done in 6 (6%) patient. Conclusions. Among evaluable patients who were treated with lenalidomide 10 mg maintenance therapy days 1-21 on a 28-day cycle on this study, at a median followup of 28 months, we found 46% and 44% to have evidence of 1 and 2 years sustained MRD negativity, respectively. Currently, 19 patients have been tested for MRD at 3 years; 16 (84%) show evidence of 3 years sustained MRD negativity. The toxicity profile was in accord with prior studies and tolerability was quite good reflected in only 6 patients requiring dose reductions due to toxicities. Correlative assays focusing on mechanisms of sustained MRD negativity in this study are presented in a separate abstract at this meeting.

    Abstract: Multiple myeloma (MM) progression is characterized by the seeding of cancer cells in different anatomic sites. To characterize this evolutionary process, we interrogated, by whole genome sequencing, 25 samples collected at autopsy from 4 patients with relapsed MM and an additional set of 125 whole exomes collected from 51 patients. Mutational signatures analysis showed how cytotoxic agents introduce hundreds of unique mutations in each surviving cancer cell, detectable by bulk sequencing only in cases of clonal expansion of a single cancer cell bearing the mutational signature. Thus, a unique, single-cell genomic barcode can link chemotherapy exposure to a discrete time window in a patient′s life. We leveraged this concept to show that MM systemic seeding is accelerated at relapse and appears to be driven by the survival and subsequent expansion of a single myeloma cell following treatment with high-dose melphalan therapy and autologous stem cell transplant.

    Abstract: INTRODUCTION. Bortezomib, lenalidomide and dexamethasone (VRd) is considered a standard of care combination therapy for newly diagnosed multiple myeloma patients. Prior studies show that ~25% of patients treated with 8 cycles of VRd achieve minimal residual disease (MRD) negativity. Recently, 42% stringent complete response (sCR) rates were reported with the use of VRd combined with the CD38-targeted monoclonal antibody daratumumab (VRd-D). Prior studies using 8 cycles of bi-weekly carfilzomib 36 mg/m2 with lenalidomide and dexamethasone (bKRd) combination therapy in newly diagnosed multiple myeloma show ~40% MRD negativity rates. We were motivated to develop a phase 2 study (total N=82) using weekly dosing of carfilzomib 56 mg/m2 with lenalidomide and dexamethasone (wKRd) in combination with daratumumab (wKRd-D). Our study also included a parallel cohort of bi-weekly dosing of carfilzomib 36 mg/m2 with lenalidomide and dexamethasone (bKRd) in combination with daratumumab (bKRd-D). Primary end-point of our study was to rule out 60% and to target up to 80% MRD negativity rate. METHODS. This is a two-arm, Phase II clinical trial based on Simon's optimal two-stage design. The once-a-week carfilzomib (wKRd) (N=41) has the following treatment schedule: 8 cycles of treatment; 28-day cycles with carfilzomib 20/56 mg/m2 days 1, 8, and 15; lenalidomide 25 mg days 1-21; dexamethasone 40 mg weekly cycles 1-4, 20 mg after cycle 4; and daratumumab 16 mg/kg days 1, 8, 15, and 22 cycles 1-2, days 1 and 15 cycles 3-6, and day 1 cycles 7-8. The bi-weekly carfilzomib (bKRd) (N=41): 8 cycles of treatment; 28-day cycles with carfilzomib 20/36 mg/m2 days 1, 2, 8, 9, 15 and 16; lenalidomide, dexamethasone, and daratumumab are given at the same doses/schedules as the weekly cohort. For fit patients, stem cell collection is recommended after 4 to 6 cycles of therapy; DKRd therapy is resumed after collection to a total of 8 cycles DKRd. Treatment response is being assessed with parallel bone marrow-based MRD assays (10-color single tube flowcytometry and invivoscribe IGHV sequencing); per IMWG guidelines both MRD assays allow detection of 1 myeloma cell in 100,000 bone marrow cells (10^-5). Baseline bone marrow samples are evaluated with targeted DNA sequencing for FISH-Seq and somatic mutational characteristics (myTYPE). RESULTS. The first stage of the weekly cohort (wKRd-D) is fully enrolled (N=28) and the second stage of the cohort (N=13) is anticipated to complete enrollment shortly (total N=41). Currently, 29 patients meeting eligibility criteria were enrolled (14 males, 15 females) between October 2018 and August 2019. Baseline characteristics include; median age 59 years (range 36-70 years); 12 (41%) patients had high-risk FISH/SNP signature defined as one or more of the following: 1q+, t(4;14), t(14;16), t(14;20), and 17p-. At the submission of this abstract, 28 patients have completed one or more cycles wKRd-D; among these, 10 patients have completed therapy. The median number of cycles delivered is currently 6 (range 1-8). Seven of the 10 patients who have completed study treatment are MRD negative. So far, additional 8 patients have become MRD negative while on therapy. Thus, among patients treated on the weekly cohort (wKRd-D) and who were evaluable for the MRD primary end-point at this analysis, we found 15/18 (83%) to be MRD negative. We further show no added major clinical toxicities with wKRd-D compared to our institution standard of care bKRd. The bi-weekly carfilzomib cohort (bKRd-D) shows similar results to the weekly cohort (wKRd-D). With a comparable efficacy and safety profile coupled with a substantial reduction of the number of infusions (total of 51 vs 27 infusions with bKRd-D vs wKRd-D, respectively), we conclude that the weekly dosing (wKRd-D) may offer an attractive treatment modality for newly diagnosed multiple myeloma patients. CONCLUSIONS. Among patients evaluable for the MRD primary end-point, in the absence of an autologous bone marrow transplant, we show an unprecedented 15/18 (83%) MRD negativity rate among newly diagnosed multiple myeloma patients treated on the weekly cohort (wKRd-D) using carfilzomib 56 mg/m2 dosing. Our promising results have prompted the development of a large randomized multi-center study ("ADVANCE") evaluating wKRd-D in relation to established standard of care, which is anticipated to start enrollment in Q3/Q4 of 2019.

    Abstract: Background Minimal residual disease (MRD) negativity is a strong predictor for outcome in multiple myeloma. Next generation sequencing (NGS) for immunoglobulin heavy chain and kappa light chain VDJ rearrangements has become increasingly more common for MRD assessment. One of the known challenges with NGS for VDJ rearrangements is the vast diversity of sequences that are present, resulting in a need for a multiplex approach as common primers cannot be used to amplify all rearrangements. Also, somatic hypermutation may affect the annealing of primers and decrease the capture rate. The NGS VDJ assay developed by Adaptive Biotechnologies targets all theoretical combinations of VDJ sequences and has been used in several recent large randomized trials in multiple myeloma. The reported ~80% capture rate of the first version of the Sequenta/Adaptive 1.3 assay limited the ability to track MRD status post therapy. The assay has recently been updated and validated to increase resilience to somatic hypermutation. As there is no published reference data using this assay, we were motivated to assess VDJ capture in the clinical setting. Methods In total, 147 patients with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma (NDMM, n=101) or relapse/refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM, n=46) seen at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center were identified and included in the study. At bone marrow collection, patient samples were sorted for mononuclear cells and a subset of samples were sorted for CD138+ plasma cells. Stored bone marrow samples from these patients underwent DNA extraction and were sequenced with the Adaptive NGS VDJ assay. The same samples were also sequenced for genomic events using our internal NGS panel myTYPE. myTYPE is a custom capture panel targeting the most frequent multiple myeloma associated-somatic mutations, copy number alterations, and IGH translocations. Logistic regression was used to calculate odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) of detection success in relation to clinical parameters such as age, gender, percent bone marrow plasma cells, as well as immunoglobulin heavy and light chain types, and myTYPE positivity. Results There overall capture rate for a unique VDJ sequence was 80%, 75% in NDMM samples and 89% in RRMM samples, respectively. The VDJ capture rate in samples that were myTYPE positive, e.g. samples with at least one genomic aberration detected by myTYPE, was 94%. In univariate analysis, the ORs of detecting a clonal VDJ sequence was 1.8 (95% CI 1.3-2.5) and 1.5 (1.2-1.9) for every 10% increase in plasma cells on bone marrow aspirate and biopsy, respectively. For every 1g/dL increase in M-spike, the OR of VDJ capture was 1.6 (1.2-2.2). Samples with at least one genomic aberration detected by myTYPE had a significantly higher detection rate of VDJ sequence, the OR of VDJ capture in myTYPE positive samples was 8.8 (3.2-31.3). Conversely, age, gender, type of immunoglobulin heavy chain (IgG or IgA), or light chain type (kappa or lambda) had no significant effect on the VDJ detection rate (Table). In multivariate analysis, myTYPE positivity was found to be an independent predictor of VDJ capture, with an OR of 4.9 (1.6-18.4, p=0.009) for myTYPE positive samples. The ORs were 1.4 (1.1-2.2, p=0.052) for an increase in 10% plasma cells on bone marrow aspirate and 1.5 (0.97-2.3, p=0.083) every 1g/dL increase in M-spike. Conclusion The VDJ capture rate using the updated Adaptive NGS VDJ assay was 94% in multiple myeloma samples of high quality as indicated by myTYPE positivity. The capture success rate was higher in samples with a greater disease burden. As expected, the assay was less sensitive in samples with insufficient DNA content. Our results are supportive of the use of this NGS VDJ in multiple myeloma, but also illustrate the importance of optimal sample ascertainment and processing.

    Abstract: Minimal residual disease (MRD) negativity is a strong predictor for outcome in multiple myeloma. To assess V(D)J clonotype capture using the updated Adaptive next-generation sequencing (NGS) MRD assay in a clinical setting, we analyzed baseline and follow-up samples from patients with multiple myeloma who achieved deep clinical responses. Experimental Design: A total of 159 baseline and 31 follow-up samples from patients with multiple myeloma were sequenced using the NGS MRD assay. Baseline samples were also sequenced using a targeted multiple myeloma panel (myTYPE). We estimated ORs with 95% confidence intervals (CI) for clonotypes detection using logistic regression. Results: The V(D)J clonotype capture rate was 93% in baseline samples with detectable genomic aberrations, indicating presence of tumor DNA, assessed through myTYPE. myTYPE-positive samples had significantly higher V(D)J clonotype detection rates in univariate (OR, 7.3; 95% CI, 2.8–22.6) and multivariate analysis (OR, 4.4; 95% CI, 1.4–16.9; P = 0.016). Higher disease burden was associated with higher probability of V(D)J clonotype capture, meanwhile no such association was found for age, gender, or type of heavy or light immunoglobulin chain. All V(D)J clonotypes detected at baseline were detected in MRD-positive samples indicating that the V(D)J clonotypes remained stable and did not undergo further rearrangements during follow-up. Of the 31 posttreatment samples, 12 were MRD-negative using the NGS MRD assay. Conclusions: NGS for V(D)J rearrangements in multiple myeloma offers a reliable and sensitive method for MRD tracking with high detection rates in the clinical setting.

    Abstract: INTRODUCTION Using Carfilzomib, Lenalidomide and Dexamethasone (KRd) combination therapy in newly diagnosed multiple myeloma patients lead to ~40% minimal residual disease (MRD) negativity rate. Here, we use KRd in combination with daratumumab (DKRd); and treatment response is assessed with extensive correlative science including parallel bone-marrow-based and blood-based MRD tracking, together with targeted DNA sequencing of baseline bone marrow samples. Primary end-point is to rule out 60% and to target up to 80% MRD negativity rate. METHODS This is a single-arm, Phase II clinical trial based on Simon's optimal two-stage design. The first cohort (twice-a-week carfilzomib) (N=41) has the following treatment schedule: 8 cycles of treatment; 28-day cycles with carfilzomib 20/36 mg/m2 days 1, 2, 8, 9, 15 and 16; lenalidomide 25 mg days 1-21; dexamethasone 40 mg weekly cycles 1-4, 20 mg after cycle 4; and daratumumab 16 mg/kg days 1, 8, 15, and 22 cycles 1-2, days 1 and 15 cycles 3-6, and day 1 cycles 7-8. The second cohort (once-a-week carfilzomib) (N=41): 8 cycles of treatment; 28-day cycles with carfilzomib 20/56 mg/m2 days 1, 8, and 15; lenalidomide, dexamethasone, and daratumumab are given at the same doses/schedules as the first cohort. For fit patients, stemcell collection is recommended after 4 to 6 cycles of therapy; DKRd therapy is resumed after collection to a total of 8 cycles DKRd. Treatment response is being assessed with parallel bone-marrow-based (10-color single tube flowcytometry, invivoscribe V(D)J sequencing) as well as blood-based (MALDI-TOF and QTOF-mass spectrometry [MS]) for MRD tracking. Baseline bone marrow samples are evaluated with targeted DNA sequencing for FISH-Seq and somatic mutational characteristics (myTYPE). Here, we present the first stage (N=28) of the first cohort (twice-a-week carfilzomib). We are waiting for the results to mature before the second stage (N=13) of the first cohort can open. The second cohort (once-a-week carfilzomib) is opening for enrollment in August 2018 (N=41). RESULTS The first stage of the first cohort is fully enrolled; 28 patients meeting eligibility criteria were enrolled onto study (14 males, 14 females) between October 2017 and July 2018. Baseline characteristics include; median age 60 years (range 32-80 years); 12(43%) patients had high-risk FISH/SNP signature defined as one or more of the following: 1q+, t(4,14), t(14,16), t(14,20), and 17p-. At the submission of this abstract, 20 patients have completed one or more cycles DKRd; among these, 3 patients have completed all 8 cycles. The median number of cycles delivered is currently 4 (range 1-8). Full assessments with MRD assays have been completed in 3 patients: -Pt #1 obtained complete response (CR) after 3 cycles, and workup after the last cycle of therapy showed MRD-negativity (by 10-color single tube flowcytometry and V(D)J sequencing) in the bone marrow; and peripheral blood (serum) was negative by MALDI-TOF MS after completion of cycle 2. -Pt#2 obtained CR after 4 cycles, however, workup after cycle 5 showed MRD-positivity (by 10-color single tube flowcytometry and V(D)J sequencing) in the bone marrow; and peripheral blood (serum) was positive by MALDI-TOF MS throughout the end of the last cycle. -Pt#3 obtained CR after 4 cycles and after 6 cycles both 10-color single tube flowcytometry and V(D)J sequencing showed MRD-negativity in the bone marrow. However, MALDI-TOF MS detected small abnormal serum proteins in peripheral blood and remained positive throughout the end of cycle 8. Overall, the DKRd therapy is well tolerated and it has similar toxicity profile as KRd. Grade 〉 3 adverse events were hypotension, musculoskeletal deformity, back pain, dyspnea, lung-infection, and febrile neutropenia. So far, 5 patients underwent dose reductions of lenalidomide. CONCLUSIONS In this pre-planned interim analysis of our phase II study, we show that DKRd is a highly effective and well tolerated combination therapy for newly diagnosed multiple myeloma patients. Based on small numbers of patients who have completed the planned DKRd cycles and been evaluated by bone marrow-based MRD and peripheral-blood based assays, we show that highly sensitive protein assays may allow longitudinal MRD tracking in peripheral-blood. At the meeting, we will present updated results using longitudinal testing with MALDI TOF-MS and QTOF-MS on the entire cohort.
