TPS8057 Background: Multiple myeloma (MM) is the second most prevalent blood cancer, representing approximately 1% of all cancers. Although overall survival has improved in recent years due to new approved agents, the vast majority of MM patients (pts) ultimately stop responding to treatment. Moreover, about a quarter of MM pts characterized as “high risk” experience limited benefit from existing treatments. Seminal genomic sequencing research efforts, such as the MMRF CoMMpass study, have highlighted that a large number of MM cases harbor potentially actionable oncogenic molecular alterations and published reports on small numbers of cases suggest that Precision Medicine (PM) interventions clinically targeting such actionable drivers may benefit MM pts. These results suggest that PM approaches in MM are possible and should be further studied clinically. To that end, we have launched MyDRUG, a master protocol aimed at developing new myeloma regimens based on individual pt’s genomics. Methods: This study is a Phase I-II, multicenter master protocol in functional high risk MM patients (i.e patients having progressed from baseline treatment within 18 months without maintenance or 3 years on maintenance) with 1-3 prior lines of therapy. Patients are screened for actionable genomic alterations on the CLIA-grade MI-ONCOSEQ platform. Patients with actionable alterations are assigned to the appropriate targeted agent used in combination with a backbone regimen ixazomib, pomalidomide and dexamethasone (IPd), whereas patients without such alterations go on an immune arm (see Table). Inclusion criteria include measurable disease (as measured by M-protein and FLC) and acceptable hematologic and metabolic functions. A maximum of 12 evaluable pts will be accrued onto the phase I portion of each arm and an additional 21 evaluable phase II pts will be accrued onto each arm for a total of 27 evaluable pts at the MTD combination dose. The primary objective of the study is to evaluate ORR per IMWG consensus criteria. Secondary objectives are to assess adverse events (AEs), progression-free survival, and overall survival (OS). Experimental correlative aims include assessing molecular or clonal response, molecular and immune signatures of resistance/response, MRD. Clinical trial information: NCT03732703. [Table: see text]

Introduction: Proteasome inhibitors (PI), immunomodulatory agents (IMiDs) and the CD38 monoclonal antibody daratumumab (dara) have transformed the management of MM, yet eventual refractoriness to these agents seems inevitable. Relapsed and refractory MM (RRMM) which becomes triple class refractory (TCR, i.e. refractory to a PI, an IMiD and Dara) uncommonly responds to further lines of therapy and survival is dismal. Selinexor is a selective inhibitor of nuclear export compound targeting exportin 1 (XPO1) which is overexpressed in MM cells and essential for their survival. In the STORM study, selinexor in combination with low-dose dexamethasone (Sd) demonstrated promising efficacy in TCR, penta-exposed (TCR-PE, i.e. exposed to lenalidomide, pomalidomide, bortezomib, carfilzomib and dara) MM. Establishing the natural history for outcomes in the TCR-PE population can help provide context to understand the outcomes observed with Sd in STORM. In the retrospective MAMMOTH study, we reported the outcomes of patients with RRMM after they became refractory to dara, including a subset of patients who were TCR. We further analyzed the MAMMOTH dataset to generate a cohort of patients similar to patients in STORM in order to compare conventional care vs. Sd. Methods: We included all patients in STORM who received Sd as the first line therapy after they achieved TCR-PE status (n=64). We extracted from the MAMMOTH dataset all patients who were not exposed to Sd in a subsequent line of therapy, became TCR-PE and who received subsequent MM-directed therapy (n=128). Overall response rate (ORR) was evaluated according to IMWG criteria. Overall survival (OS) was calculated from the time of initiation of next line of therapy after TCR-PE status until death or last follow-up. We compared OS in STORM vs. MAMMOTH utilizing cox-regression analysis with adjustment for covariables potentially influencing the outcome. Results: Baseline patient characteristics and prior therapies are per table. The two cohorts were similar in terms of age, number of prior lines of therapy and presence of high-risk cytogenetic abnormalities. STORM patients had longer time between MM diagnosis and post TCR-PE therapy with a higher proportion of refractoriness to carfilzomib. Patients in STORM had ORR to Sd of 32.8% vs 25.0% for patients receiving conventional care in MAMMOTH (P=0.078). In direct comparison, patients in STORM had better OS than patients in MAMMOTH (median 10.4 vs. 6.9 months) (P=0.043, figure). In multivariate analysis, STORM patients had lower risk of death in comparison with MAMMOTH patients (aHR=0.55, 95%C.I. 0.35-0.86, P=0.009). Refractoriness to carfilzomib (aHR=2.20, 95%C.I. 1.16-4.15, P=0.015) and high-risk cytogenetics (aHR-1.66, 95% C.I. 1.13-2.42, P=0.009) were also associated with inferior OS. Conclusion: Despite inherent limitations in comparison of trial enrollees vs. real world patients, this analysis suggests improved OS with Sd vs conventional care in patients with TCR-PE RRMM. Prognosis for these patients remains poor and underscores the need for therapeutic advancements.

Introduction: Selinexor is a novel, oral selective inhibitor of nuclear export (SINE) which forces nuclear retention and activation of tumor suppressor proteins. Selinexor plus low dose dexamethasone (Sel-dex) was recently approved in the United States based on data from the STORM study wherein, Sel-dex induced an overall response rate (ORR) of 26.2% in patients with penta-exposed, triple-class refractory multiple myeloma. The presence of high-risk cytogenetic abnormalities is known to have a poor prognosis in multiple myeloma, with transient responses. We performed post-hoc analyses to determine the outcomes in patients with relapsed/refractory myeloma treated with Sel-dex based on the baseline cytogenetic abnormalities. Methods: STORM was a phase 2b, open-label study which enrolled patients with relapsed and refractory myeloma. Selinexor 80 mg in combination with dexamethasone 20 mg was administered orally, twice weekly. The primary endpoint was ORR. For this analysis, we pooled 78 patients (48 quad-refractory and 30 penta-refractory) from STORM, part 1 and 122 patients (penta-exposed and triple class refractory) from STORM, part 2 to compare outcomes between high-risk and standard risk cytogenetics groups. High-risk cytogenetics was defined as having at least 1 of the following abnormalities by fluorescence in-situ hybridization (FISH) at baseline: del(17p), t(4;14), t(14;16), and gain(1q) in >5% of screened plasma cells. The FISH analyses were performed at a central laboratory and used to assess cytogenetic risk status. Results: Of the 200 patients, 122 (61%) had high-risk disease (del(17p): 36%, t(4;14): 18%, t(14;16): 5%, and gain(1q): 36%). The ORR in high-risk patients was 20.5% (very good partial response [VGPR)]: 5.7% and partial response [PR]: 14.8%) and the ORR was 29.5 % (complete response [CR]: 2.6%, VGPR: 3.8%, and PR: 23.1%) in standard-risk patients. The clinical benefit rate (CBR) was 35.2% in high-risk patients compared with 38.5% in standard-risk patients. Median duration of clinical benefit (DOCB) was 4.4 and 6.2 months in the high-risk and standard-risk patients respectively. Median progression-free survival (PFS) was 3.8 and 4.2 months and overall survival (OS) was 8.6 and 9.4 months in the high-risk and standard-risk patients, respectively. Efficacy by specific cytogenetic abnormality is presented in Table 1 below (Due to the small sample size (n=11), data for the t(14;16) subgroup are not presented separately). Conclusions: Sel-dex demonstrated a similar CBR in patients with high risk and standard risk disease and preserved clinical benefit in heavily pre-treated patients who had rapidly proliferative disease and high-risk cytogenetics at baseline. The benefit was maintained across cytogenetic risk subgroups with a higher ORR in the t(4;14) and gain(1q) subgroups. The DOR and OS was similar across all the subgroups. These analyses support the use of Sel-dex in patients with high-risk cytogenetics and warrant further evaluation of selinexor in combination with other anti-myeloma therapies in high-risk disease.

Introduction: Selinexor is a first-in-class Selective Inhibitor of Nuclear Export (SINE) compound that selectively binds and inactivates XPO1, therefore forcing the nuclear retention and re-activation of cell cycle regulators such as p53, FOXO, IkB, and Rb. Selinexor in combination with low dose dexamethasone (Sel-dex) was recently approved based on data from the STORM study, which induced an overall response rate (ORR) of 26.2% in patients with penta-exposed, triple-class refractory multiple myeloma (TCR-MM). Patients with TCR-MM often present with plasmacytomas along with serological markers of MM. Methods: Here we analyzed the effects of Sel-dex in patients from the STORM study who had baseline plasmacytomas. Results: 122 patients were in enrolled in the STORM study including 27 with a baseline plasmacytoma. The majority of plasmacytomas were soft tissue (22 patients) and 5 patients had soft tissue disease extension from a bone (rib (2), iliac (2), sacral vertebral). The median age of patients with plasmacytomas was 64 years, the median prior therapies were 7 (range 4 - 15), and 8/27 patients with a plasmacytoma had high risk cytogenetics. Of the 27 patients, 11 patients did not have a follow up plasmacytoma assessment: 6 were not evaluable for response as they came off therapy due to clinical progression and/or adverse events, 4 had stable disease (SD) with no evidence of plasmacytoma change, and 1 had progressive disease (PD) on serum M-protein with no evidence of plasmacytoma change. Sixteen of the 27 patients did have follow-up plasmacytoma assessments (methods of measurements included PET, CT, MRI or Clinical). The median days from baseline plasmacytoma evaluation to follow up was 41 days (range 22 - 119). Five patients had objective responses, based upon para-protein and plasmacytoma reductions according to IMWG criteria (1 very good partial response [VGPR], 4 partial responses [PR]) for an ORR of 18.5%. In addition, 2 patients had a minimal response (MR), 4 had SD and 5 had objective PD. Among the 5 patients with ≥PR, 3 plasmacytomas completely resolved, 1 showed near complete resolution, and another showed size reduction with no metabolic activity on PET. Of the 2 patients with a MR, 1 plasmacytoma completely resolved and 1 showed reduced PET uptake. Among the 4 patients with SD, 1 plasmacytomas completely resolved, 1 increased in size and 2 had unknown outcomes as they were assessed clinically. Among the 5 patients with PD, 1 plasmacytomas decreased in size, 1 increased in size, and 3 had unknown outcomes as they were assessed clinically. Conclusions: Of the 16 patients with TCR-MM and a follow up plasmacytoma assessment enrolled on STORM, 9/16 of the plasmacytomas either completely resolved or decreased in size and/or metabolic activity. Effects on plasmacytomas occurred in patients with objective responses (≥PR), as well as in patients with MR, SD and PD. These observations support the finding that Sel-dex is active in patients with plasmacytomas and heavily pretreated TCR-MM.

Abstract Introduction: In the ASPIRE and ENDEAVOR trials, multiple myeloma (MM) patients treated with carfilzomib (K) had significantly improved progression‐free survival and overall survival compared with standard of care. The incidence of all-grade adverse cardiovascular events (ACVE) was 26.6% and 24.5% in the K treated groups in ASPIRE and ENDEAVOR respectively. The atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) score is a risk stratification tool used by cardiologists to classify patients with a score ≥7.5% as high risk for the incidence of ASCVD events. To date, there are no clinically relevant models that predict the likelihood of ACVE in MM patients treated with K nor are we aware of any protective factors against ACVE. Our study aims to identify factors which can predict and mitigate the incidence of ACVE. Methods: A retrospective chart review of 372 MM patients who were treated with K between 2011 and 2018 at our institution was performed.Data were summarized using descriptive statistics; Chi-square tests of association and Kruskal-Wallis tests were employed to test for differences across groups, where appropriate. Logistic regression was performed to examine the risk factors associated with ACVE. Results: Of the 372 patients, 243 (65%) were Durie-Salmon Stage (DSS) III, 70 (19%) were International Staging System (ISS) III; 186 (50%) were men. There were a total of 102 (27%) ACVE and 33 (9%) ≥grade 3 events. The most common ACVE were congestive heart failure (29%), asymptomatic elevations in pulmonary arterial systolic pressure (PASP) (27%), and hypertension (HTN) (16%). Sixty-eight (66%) Caucasians, 14 (14%) African Americans and 17 (17%) Hispanics developed ACVE. Aspirin (ASA) (64%), beta blockers (BB) (51%), calcium channel blockers (CCB) (43%) and statins (37%) were the most common cardiac medications patients were taking at the time of K initiation. Regardless of cardiac history, patients who were taking a CCB had higher odds of experiencing an ACVE compared to patients who were not taking a CCB (CCB + Cardiac history: OR=1.9; CI=1.0-3.7; CCB, no Cardiac history: OR=6.3; CI= 2.1-18.4) (Table 1). Patients with an ASCVD score ≥7.5% did not have an increased incidence of ACVE but did have an increased incidence of ≥grade 3 vs. grade 1-2 ACVE (100% vs. 78%, p=0.092). Prior cardiac history, including history of HTN, was common (59%) but not associated with incidence or severity of ACVE. Those with type 2 diabetes had a higher rate of ≥grade 3 vs. grade 1-2 ACVE (33% vs. 10%, p=0.004). Patients on certain CV medications while receiving K-based treatment had a higher incidence of ACVE compared to those not on these medications, including BB (51% vs. 34%, p=0.002), CCB (43% vs. 26%, p=0.002), aldosterone antagonists (AA) (8% vs. 3%, p=0.024) and statins (37% vs. 25%, p=0.022). Patients on ASA were more likely to experience ≥grade 3 compared to grade 1-2 ACVE (78% vs. 53%, p=0.016). ACE inhibitors or angiotensin receptor blockers (ACE/ARB) were not associated with increased incidence or severity of ACVE. The use of K in relapsed, as opposed to induction setting, was associated with a higher incidence of ACVE (31% vs. 20%, p=0.035). Maximum dose and number of K doses were not associated with ACVE. There was no relationship between PASP elevation and age >75, use of BB, CCB, AA, ACE/ARB, number of K treatments or maximum dose of K. Factors that were associated with increased odds of ACVE in multivariate analysis included patients who received K in the relapsed setting (OR= 1.7; CI=0.94-3.0) and use of an AA (OR= 4.5; CI=1.4-14.1) (Table 1). Conclusion: In line with prior studies, 28% of MM patients treated with K at our institution developed an ACVE, with 9% grade 3 or above. Use of CCB and AA were particularly associated with increased risk of ACVE, while use of ACE/ARB were not. ASCVD score ≥7.5% was associated with an increased incidence of ≥grade 3 ACVE in K-treated patients and should perhaps be evaluated as a predictive tool in prospective studies.

Abstract Background: Immunomodulatory agents and proteasome inhibitors have significantly improved outcomes in the management of patients with multiple myeloma (MM). As a consequence, the role of upfront autologous stem cell transplant (ASCT) has become more controversial. The ECOG-ACRIN Cancer Research Group trial E4A03 demonstrated the superiority of lenalidomide (LEN) and low-dose dexamethasone (DEX; Ld) over LEN and high dose DEX (LD) in newly diagnosed MM (Rajkumar SV, Lancet Oncol, 2010). This led to the universal acceptance of Ld as a standard induction regimen. More recently, the FIRST study demonstrated the superiority of Ld as continuous therapy vs Ld given x 18 cycles and melphalan-thalidomide-prednisone x 12 cycles proving continuous Ld should be considered standard of care (Benboubker L, NEJM, 2014). Upon completion of four cycles of therapy, patients enrolled in E4A03 had the option of proceeding to ASCT or continuing on their assigned Ld or LD. A prior post-hoc retrospective landmark analysis (Siegel DS, Abstract, Blood 2010) comparing outcomes of early ASCT vs. no early ASCT showed that in patients <65, 65-70, and >70, the survival with early ASCT at 3 years appeared higher, supporting the role of early consolidative ASCT in newly diagnosed patients. This analysis is the long-term follow-up of the aforementioned study. Methods: A post hoc, retrospective landmark analysis was performed evaluating overall survival (OS) by early ASCT vs. no early ASCT overall and within age subgroups. The Kaplan-Meier method was used to estimate survival distributions and Cox regression for hazard ratio (HR) estimates. The landmark analysis included only patients surviving the first four cycles of therapy. Results: 21% of patients opted for early ASCT (n=90). At baseline (four cycles prior), early ASCT patients were younger (median 57.5y vs 66y), more fit (ECOG PS 0 45% vs 56%) and with less aggressive disease (ISS Stage 3 12% vs 28%). Median treatment duration was 7.6m for no early ASCT patients. The 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5-year survival probability estimates were higher for early ASCT vs. no early ASCT at 99%, 93%, 91%, 85%, and 80% vs. 94%, 84%, 75%, 65%, and 57%. The median OS in the early ASCT vs. no early ASCT was not reached vs. 5.8 years, respectively (Table 1). The survival hazard ratio (HR) for early ASCT was 0.55 [95%CI (0.38-0.80)]. In a further subgroup analysis of patients </= 65, 5-yr survival probability of those who had early ASCT vs. no early ASCT was 79% [95%CI (67-87)] vs. 62% [95%CI (54-69)], respectively. In patients </= 65, median OS in the early ASCT vs. no early ASCT was not reached vs. 7.4 years and the survival HR was 0.74 [95%CI (0.48-1.15)]. For patients >65, 5-yr survival probability of those who had early ASCT vs. no early ASCT was 83% [95%CI (56-94)] vs. 52% [95%CI (45-59)], respectively. In patients >65, median OS in the early ASCT vs. no early ASCT was not reached versus 5.2 years and the survival HR was 0.38 [95%CI (0.17-0.87)]. In all age groups, overall response rate was similar prior to the decision of proceeding with ASCT vs. no early ASCT. In a multivariable model adjusting for baseline prognostic factors, early ASCT retained marginal significance. Conclusions: The landmark analysis demonstrated that patients opting for ASCT after induction Ld/LD had a higher 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5- year survival probability and improvement in median OS regardless of DEX dose density. Results were stronger within the older age cohort and upheld in adjusted models. Limitations include lack of randomization and data on salvage therapy. At a time when lenalidomide and dexamethasone as induction is gaining worldwide acceptance in all age groups, early ASCT is safe and efficacious and should remain a standard of care for newly diagnosed MM even in the era of novel therapies.

e19525 Background: Rearrangements of the immunoglobulin heavy chain (IGH) on chromosome 14 are identified by FISH in about 15-20% of patients (pts) with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma (MM). Historically there is variation on the significance on prognosis of these rearrangements: typically, t(4;14), t(14;16) and t(14;20) have high risk (HR), and t(11;14) have standard risk (SR). A recent study (Kaufman et al, Leukemia. 2016 30:633-9) suggests that t(11;14) may confer a worse prognosis We report the prognostic significance of t(11;14) in a single-institution MM cohort. Methods: 87 pts with t(11;14) by CD 138 selected FISH at diagnosis were identified, pts without symptomatic MM were excluded. Cox regression was used for statistical analysis. Progression free survival (PFS), and overall survivals (OS) from diagnosis and post autologous stem cell transplant (ASCT) were analyzed by Kaplan-Meier. Results: Median age at diagnosis was 62 years, 45 pts (52%) were male, and 24 pts (27%) had ISS 3. All pts received either a proteasome inhibitor or an immunomodulatory agent, and 42 (48%) received triplet treatment as induction. Sixty-nine (79%) pts had ASCT, and overall response rate (ORR, partial response or better) post ASCT was 73%. For pts with HR FISH (defined as t(14;16), p53 del, 1q21 gain or 1p del) compared to SR FISH, the ORR post ASCT was 70% vs 77% (p = 0.67). OS from diagnosis was 93% at 3 years, 74% at 4 years and 51% at 5 years. Seven patients (8%) developed plasma cell leukemia, and there was no association between HR and SR FISH (p = 0.66). In multivariate analysis, ISS stage was an independent risk factor for mortality; pts with stage 3 had 7.3 times (CI: 1.16-36.4) and 5.7 times (CI: 1.63-20.0) the risk of mortality than pts with stage 1 and 2. Having an ASCT reduced mortality by 87% (CI: 0.04-0.41). Conclusions: Despite the use of novel therapies the OS at 5 years of our pts with MM was not significantly improved compared to SEER data from 1992-2013 (51% vs 48.5%). Pts with t(11;14) who had ASCT had increased survival compared to those who did not. Our results suggest that t(11;14) may confer a worse prognosis. Further prospective studies evaluating the risk of t(11;14) are warranted.

8044 Background: Racial disparities of FISH abnormalities in multiple myeloma (MM) have been well described in whites (W) but partially described in minorities (M) (Paulus et al, ASH 2016, 4432). We aimed to explore racial-based differences of FISH abnormalities using the largest cohort of m to date. Methods: CD-138 selected FISH was done on 799 consecutive patients (pts). Pts without symptomatic MM, and biopsy >6 months after diagnosis were excluded. The abnormalities evaluated included standard and intermediate risk: IGH rearrangements (IGH r), t(4;14), t(11;14), and high risk: t(14;20), t(14;16), del13q, del 17p, 1q21. Chi-square was used for statistical analysis. Due to smaller numbers, all m (Hispanic (H), Black (B), Asian (A) and Other (O)) were included into the same group for statistical analysis. Results: 482 pts were eligible, 343 (71%) were W, 52 (10%) H, 50 (10%) B, 19 (3%) A, and 18 (3%) O. Median age was 65 years, 54% were male, and 26% ISS stage 3. There were no were no statistically significant differences in FISH abnormalities between the m (Table1). Overall W had more abnormalities in IGH r, t(4;14), t(11;14), t(14:20), 1q21 gain compared to M. Most notably W had more IGH r (39% vs 28%; p=0.019) and t(11;14) (20% vs 12%; p=0.024). There were no statistically significant differences between W and m in the high risk FISH abnormalities. Conclusions: We had significant differences in FISH compared to M. W had more IGH r and t(11;14) than M, and there was no difference in high risk FISH abnormalities between W and M. This study confirms the biological racial disparities that exist in minorities with MM. Further studies with more inclusion of minorities are needed to elucidate these disparities and its effects on risk stratification and outcomes. [Table: see text]
