Abstract: 8040 Background: Passive monitoring using wearables can objectively measure sleep over extended time periods. MM patients (PTs) are susceptible to fluctuating sleep patterns due to pain and dexamethasone (dex) treatment. In this prospective study, we remotely monitored sleep patterns on 40 newly diagnosed MM (NDMM) PTs while administering electronic PT reported outcome (ePRO) surveys. The study aim was to establish sleep bioprofiles during therapy and correlate with ePROs. Methods: Eligible PTs for the study had untreated NDMM and assigned to either Cohort A – PTs 〈 65 years or Cohort B – PTs ≥ 65 years. PTs were remotely monitored for sleep 1-7 days at baseline [BL] and continuously up to 6 therapy cycles. PTs completed ePRO surveys (EORTC - QLQC30 and MY20) at BL and after each cycle. Sleep data and completed ePRO surveys were synced to Medidata Rave through Sensorlink technology. Associations between sleep measurement trends and QLQC30 scores were estimated using a linear mixed model with a random intercept. Results: Between Feb 2017 - Sep 2019, 40 PTs (21 M and 19 F) were enrolled with 20 in cohort A (mean 54 yrs, 41-64) and 20 in cohort B (mean 71 yrs, 65-82). Regimens included KRd 14(35%), RVd 12(30%), Dara-KRd 8(20%), VCd 5(12.5%), and Rd 1(2.5%). Sleep data was compiled among 23/40 (57.5%) PTs. BL mean sleep was 578.9 min/24 hr for Cohort A vs. 544.9 min/24 hr for Cohort B (p = 0.41, 95% CI -51.5, 119.5). Overall median sleep trends changed for cohort A by -6.3 min/24 hr per cycle (p = 0.09) and for cohort B by +0.8 min/24 hr per cycle (p = 0.88). EPRO data trends include global health +1.5 score/cycle (p = 0.01, 95% CI 0.31, 3.1), physical +2.16 score/cycle (p 〈 0.001, 95% CI 1.26, 3.07), insomnia -1.6 score/cycle (p = 0.09, 95% CI [-3.47, 0.26]), role functioning +2.8 score/cycle (p = 0.001, 95% CI 1.15, 4.46), emotional +0.3 score/cycle (p = 0.6, 95% CI -0.73, 1.32), cognitive -0.36 score/cycle (p = 0.44, 95% CI -1.29,0.56), and fatigue -0.36 score/cycle (p = 0.4, 95% CI -1.65, 0.93). No association between sleep measurements and ePRO were detected. Difference in sleep on dex days compared to all other days during the sample cycle period for cohort A was 81.4 min/24 hr (p = 0.004, 95% CI 26, 135) and for cohort B was 37.4 min/24 hr (p = 0.35, 95% CI -41, 115). Conclusions: Our study provides insight into wearable sleep monitoring in NDMM. Overall sleep trends in both cohorts do not demonstrate significant gains or losses, and these trends fit with HRQOL ePRO insomnia responses. Upon further examination, we demonstrate objective differences (younger PTs) in intra-cyclic sleep measurements on dex days compared to other cycle days (less sleep by 〉 1 hr). For older patients, less variation in sleep profiles was detected during dex days, possibly due to higher levels of fatigue or longer sleep duration. Sleep is an integral part of well-being in the cancer patient. Future studies should continue to characterize sleep patterns as it relates to HRQOL.

Abstract: Introduction Immunomodulatory agents (IMiD's) are associated with an increased risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE), particularly when combined with high dose steroids. Studies evaluating the use of lenalidomide-bortezomib-dexamethasone (RVD) and carfilzomib-lenalidomide-dexamethasone (KRD) in the frontline setting for multiple myeloma (MM) have reported a 6% and 24% incidence of thrombosis, respectively, despite primary thrombotic prophylaxis with aspirin (ASA) (Richardson, et al. Blood. 2010; Korde, et al. JAMA Oncol 2015). Recent data, including the Hokusai VTE Cancer Trial, have suggested that safety and efficacy of direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) are preserved in the setting of treatment of solid malignancy-associated thrombosis (Raskob, et al. N Engl J Med. 2018; Mantha, et al. J Thromb Thrombolysis. 2017). Despite this data, there is limited experience and use of DOACs in prevention of thromboses in the setting of hematologic malignancies, specifically MM. After careful review of literature, since early 2018, we changed our clinical practice and routinely placed newly diagnosed MM (NDMM) patients receiving KRD at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSKCC) on concomitant rivaroxaban 10 mg once daily, regardless of VTE risk stratification. In the following abstract, we present VTE rates and safety data for newly diagnosed MM patients receiving RVD with ASA vs. KRD with ASA vs. KRD with rivaroxaban prophylaxis. Methods This was an IRB-approved, single-center, retrospective chart review study. All untreated patients with newly diagnosed MM, receiving at least one cycle of RVD or KRD between January 2015 and October 2018 were included. The period of observation included the time between the first day of therapy until 90 days after completion of induction therapy. Patients were identified by querying the pharmacy database for carfilzomib or bortezomib administration and outpatient medication review of thromboprophylaxis with rivaroxaban or ASA. VTE diagnoses were confirmed by ICD-10 codes and appropriate imaging studies (computed tomography and ultrasound). Descriptive statistics were performed. Results During the observation period, 241 patients were identified to have received RVD or KRD in the frontline (99 RVD with ASA; 97 KRD with ASA; 45 KRD with rivaroxaban). Baseline characteristics were well distributed among the three arms, with a median age of 60 (30-94) in the RVD ASA arm, 62 (33-77) in the KRD ASA arm, and 60 (24-79) in the KRD rivaroxaban arm. Patients had International Staging System (ISS) stage 3 disease in 13% (N=13), 9.3% (N=9), and 11% (N=5) of the RVD ASA, KRD ASA, and KRD rivaroxaban arms, respectively. Median weekly doses of dexamethasone were higher in both KRD arms, 40 mg (20-40) vs. 20 mg (10-40) in the RVD ASA arm. The average initial doses of lenalidomide were 22 mg in the RVD ASA arm compared to 25 mg in both the KRD ASA and KRD rivaroxaban arms. After querying the pharmacy database, no patients were identified to have a history or concomitant use of erythropoietin stimulating agent (ESA) use. Treatment-related VTE's occurred in 4 patients (4.0%) in the RVD ASA arm, 16 patients (16.5%) in the KRD ASA arm, and in 1 patient (2.2%) in the KRD rivaroxaban arm. Average time to VTE was 6.15 months (Range 5.42, 9.73) after treatment initiation in the RVD ASA group, while it was 2.61 months (Range 0.43, 5.06) in the KRD ASA group and 1.35 months in the KRD rivaroxaban group. Minor, grade 1 bleeding events per the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) were identified in 1 (1.1%) patient in the RVD ASA arm, 5 (5.2%) patients in the KRD ASA arm, and 1 (2.2%) patient in the KRD rivaroxaban arm. Conclusion More efficacious MM combination therapies have been found to increase the risk of VTE when using ASA prophylaxis, indicating better thromboprophylaxis is needed. We found patients receiving ASA prophylaxis with KRD were more likely to experience a VTE and these events occurred earlier compared to patients receiving ASA prophylaxis with RVD. Importantly, the rate of VTE was reduced to the same level as ASA prophylaxis with RVD when low-dose rivaroxaban 10 mg daily was used with KRD, and without necessarily increasing bleeding risk. Our retrospective data support the development of prospective clinical trials further investigating DOAC use in thromboprophylaxis for NDMM patients receiving carfilzomib-based treatments.

Abstract: 8051 Background: Patients with high risk smoldering multiple myeloma (HR-SMM) have an increased risk of progression to multiple myeloma (MM)- median time 〈 2 years. The standard management of these patients currently is close clinical monitoring; however, randomized trials show longer progression-free and overall survival in in HR-SMM patients treated with the oral immunomodulatory drug lenalidomide. We report the use ixazomib, the first oral proteasome inhibitor, in combination with dexamethasone in the setting of HR-SMM. Because proteasome inhibitors can provide deep clinical responses in patients with MM, we set the pre-specified threshold for efficacy high (overall response rate of ≥75%). Methods: In this single arm pilot trial of ixazomib/dexamethasone, patients received 12 4-week cycles of ixazomib/dexamethasone followed by ixazomib maintenance for 24 cycles. The primary endpoint is best overall response after 12 cycles and second objectives include duration of response, safety, and progression free survival. Results: 14 patients with HR-SMM were enrolled between 06/2016 and 03/2018. The median age is 65 years and 10 (71%) of patients were male. 11 (79%) patients were high-risk by the PETHEMA criteria, 2 (14%) by the Mayo Clinic criteria and 1 (7%) by both. At data cut-off (02/07/2019), patients completed a median of 17 cycles and 10 (71%) are continuing treatment. 4 patients have stopped treatment (2 patients for raise in serum markers without progression to MM, and 1 each for toxicities, and co-morbidities unrelated to treatment). 9 (64%) achieved an objective response (8 PR, and 1 VGPR) and no patient has progressed to MM. Non-heme adverse events included 3 grade 1 GI events, 2 grade 3 lung infection, 1 grade 2 acute kidney injury, and 1 had grade 1 fatigue that was possibly related to treatment. Conclusions: Ixazomib/dexamethasone appears well tolerated with high overall response (9/14; 64%) in patients with HR-SMM. Although the trial does not meet our pre-specified threshold for efficacy (i.e. best overall response rate of 75%), with a median follow-up of 17 months, no patient progressed to MM and only 2 patients had serologic progression. These results support further evaluation of ixazomib/dexamethasone alone and in combination with other agents as treatment for patients with HR-SMM. Clinical trial information: NCT02697383.

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.
