Age and frailty analyses of transplant-ineligible (TIE) patients (pts) with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma (NDMM) in the phase 3 MAIA and CEPHEUS trials of daratumumab + lenalidomide-dexamethasone (Rd) and bortezomib-Rd (VRd).
7569 Background: MAIA and CEPHEUS trials demonstrated that daratumumab (Dara) with standard of care (SOC) VRd or Rd significantly improved clinical outcomes versus SOC in TIE NDMM. Here we describe efficacy and safety in TIE pts from both trials by age and baseline (BL) frailty using the latest data cuts. Methods: Pts were randomized 1:1 to DRd (n=368) or Rd (n=369) in MAIA and 1:1 to DVRd (n=144) or VRd (n=145) in CEPHEUS. Progression-free survival (PFS), complete response or better (≥CR), overall MRD negativity (neg) at 10 -5 with ≥CR, sustained MRD neg with ≥CR (confirmed MRD neg ≥12 ± 1 months [mo] apart without MRD positivity in between), and safety were assessed by age (<70, 70–<75, or ≥75 years [y]) and BL frailty (assessed by IFM simplified frailty score: 0–1, non-frail; ≥2, frail). Results: Median follow-up was 64.5 mo in MAIA and 76.0 mo in CEPHEUS. In MAIA, 155 (21%) pts were <70 y, 261 (35%) 70–<75 y, and 321 (44%) ≥75 y; 341 (46%) pts were frail, 88.0 % of whom were ≥70 y. In CEPHEUS TIE pts, 70 (24%) pts were <70 y, 133 (46%) 70–<75 y, and 86 (30%) ≥75 y; 83 (29%) pts were frail, 86% of whom were ≥70 y. DRd or DVRd improved PFS, MRD neg rates, sustained MRD neg rates, and ≥CR rates vs Rd or VRd arms across age and frailty subgroups in both trials (Table). Safety was consistent with established individual drug profiles, and adverse event rates were generally comparable across treatment arms and subgroups within both trials. Additional data on patient-specific factors relevant to these subgroups will be presented. Conclusions: Dara-based regimens improved efficacy outcomes across subgroups in MAIA and CEPHEUS trials, reinforcing Dara-based regimens as SOC in TIE NDMM regardless of age or frailty. These data offer clinically relevant insights to help guide treatment selection for TIE pts. Clinical trial information: NCT03652064 ; NCT02252172 .

JAB-3312, a Potent Allosteric SHP2 Inhibitor That Enhances the Efficacy of RTK/RAS/MAPK and PD-1 Blockade Therapies
Abstract Purpose: Recent advances have seen the development of targeted therapeutics against the receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK)/RAS/MAPK pathway, which, when aberrantly activated, drives the malignant transformation of many cancer indications. However, the efficacy of inhibitors targeting single molecules is dampened by pathway feedback activation and acquired drug resistance. We seek to evaluate the application of JAB-3312 (sitneprotafib), a potent inhibitor of SHP2, in RTK/RAS/MAPK pathway–targeted combination therapies. Furthermore, SHP2 plays a vital role in PD-1–mediated immunosuppression. The rational combination of JAB-3312 with PD-1 blocking therapies is also explored. Experimental Design: Biochemical and cellular assays were applied to evaluate the potency of JAB-3312 in SHP2 inhibition. Tumor cell lines and cell line– and patient-derived xenografts were used to test different combinations of JAB-3312 with KRASG12C, MEK, EGFR, and PD-1 inhibitors. Results: JAB-3312 produced potent in vitro inhibition of SHP2 activity and downstream ERK phosphorylation, with IC50 values of 1.44 nmol/L and 0.68 to 4.84 nmol/L, respectively. When used in combination, JAB-3312 significantly increased the antitumor activity of the KRASG12C inhibitor glecirasib in naïve and resistant models. The combination of JAB-3312 with MEK inhibitors significantly delayed RTK signaling reactivation and enhanced tumor growth inhibition in KRAS-mutated cancer models. The JAB-3312–osimertinib combination exhibited great efficacy in osimertinib-resistant non–small cell lung cancer models. Additionally, JAB-3312 enhanced the efficacy of PD-1 blockade therapies by promoting an antitumor microenvironment. Representative cases of patients who responded to the combination therapies from two ongoing clinical trials (NCT05288205 and NCT04720976) were reported. Conclusions: JAB-3312 in combination with RTK/RAS/MAPK or PD-1 blockade therapies is a promising strategy that warrants further clinical investigation.
Sustained Improvement in Health‐Related Quality of Life in Transplant‐Ineligible Newly Diagnosed Multiple Myeloma Treated With Daratumumab, Lenalidomide, and Dexamethasone: MAIA Final Analysis of Patient‐Reported Outcomes
ABSTRACTObjectivesThis final post hoc analysis evaluated patient‐reported outcomes from the Phase 3 MAIA study of daratumumab, lenalidomide, and dexamethasone (D‐Rd) versus lenalidomide and dexamethasone (Rd) after median 64.5‐month follow‐up in transplant‐ineligible patients with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma (NDMM), including patient subgroups.MethodsKey scales from the EORTC QLQ‐C30 (global health status [GHS], physical functioning, pain, and fatigue) were assessed. Scores were evaluated every 3 months for 1 year, then every 6 months until disease progression.ResultsThe intent‐to‐treat population (n = 737) included 46.3% frail, 35.4% 70 to < 75 years old, and 43.6% ≥ 75 years old. D‐Rd‐treated patients showed improvements from baseline that were sustained over 5 years in the intent‐to‐treat population and across subgroups by age, frailty, and bone lesions. Greater proportions of patients treated with D‐Rd versus Rd achieved minimally important changes for improvement at cycle 36 (year ~3) in GHS (odds ratio, 1.84 [95% CI, 1.16–2.91]), physical functioning (1.93 [1.18–3.14]), pain (1.41 [0.90–2.22]), and fatigue (2.00 [1.24–3.23]). Greater proportions of patients with bone lesions improved with D‐Rd versus Rd on GHS and physical functioning.ConclusionsIn transplant‐ineligible patients with NDMM, D‐Rd improved health‐related quality of life over a 5‐year period versus Rd.

Significant Reduction of Late Toxicities in Patients With Extremity Sarcoma Treated With Image-Guided Radiation Therapy to a Reduced Target Volume: Results of Radiation Therapy Oncology Group RTOG-0630 Trial
Purpose We performed a multi-institutional prospective phase II trial to assess late toxicities in patients with extremity soft tissue sarcoma (STS) treated with preoperative image-guided radiation therapy (IGRT) to a reduced target volume. Patients and Methods Patients with extremity STS received IGRT with (cohort A) or without (cohort B) chemotherapy followed by limb-sparing resection. Daily pretreatment images were coregistered with digitally reconstructed radiographs so that the patient position could be adjusted before each treatment. All patients received IGRT to reduced tumor volumes according to strict protocol guidelines. Late toxicities were assessed at 2 years. Results In all, 98 patients were accrued (cohort A, 12; cohort B, 86). Cohort A was closed prematurely because of poor accrual and is not reported. Seventy-nine eligible patients from cohort B form the basis of this report. At a median follow-up of 3.6 years, five patients did not have surgery because of disease progression. There were five local treatment failures, all of which were in field. Of the 57 patients assessed for late toxicities at 2 years, 10.5% experienced at least one grade ≥ 2 toxicity as compared with 37% of patients in the National Cancer Institute of Canada SR2 (CAN-NCIC-SR2: Phase III Randomized Study of Pre- vs Postoperative Radiotherapy in Curable Extremity Soft Tissue Sarcoma) trial receiving preoperative radiation therapy without IGRT (P < .001). Conclusion The significant reduction of late toxicities in patients with extremity STS who were treated with preoperative IGRT and absence of marginal-field recurrences suggest that the target volumes used in the Radiation Therapy Oncology Group RTOG-0630 (A Phase II Trial of Image-Guided Preoperative Radiotherapy for Primary Soft Tissue Sarcomas of the Extremity) study are appropriate for preoperative IGRT for extremity STS.
