Stem cell collection after lenalidomide, bortezomib and dexamethasone plus elotuzumab or isatuximab in newly diagnosed multiple myeloma patients: a single centre experience from the GMMG-HD6 and -HD7 trials

Abstract Background While quadruplet induction therapies deepen responses in newly diagnosed multiple myeloma patients, their impact on peripheral blood stem cell (PBSC) collection remains incompletely understood.

description Abstract Background While quadruplet induction therapies deepen responses in newly diagnosed multiple myeloma patients, their impact on peripheral blood stem cell (PBSC) collection remains incompletely understood. This analysis aims to evaluate the effects of prolonged lenalidomide induction and isatuximab- or elotuzumab-containing quadruplet induction therapies on PBSC mobilization and collection. Methods A total of 179 transplant-eligible patients with newly diagnosed MM treated at a single academic center were included. The patients were evaluated based on PBSC mobilization and collection parameters, including overall collection results, CD34+ cell levels in peripheral blood, leukapheresis (LP) delays, overall number of LP sessions, and the rate of rescue mobilization with plerixafor. The patients underwent four different induction regimens: Lenalidomide, bortezomib, and dexamethasone (RVd, six 21-day cycles, n = 44), isatuximab-RVd (six 21-day cycles, n = 35), RVd (four 21-day cycles, n = 51), or elotuzumab-RVd (four 21-day cycles, n = 49). Results The patients' characteristics were well balanced across the different groups. Collection failures, defined as the inability to collect three sufficient PBSC transplants, were rare (n = 3, 2%), with no occurrences in the isatuximab-RVd and elotuzumab-RVd groups. Intensified induction with six 21-day cycles of RVd did not negatively impact the overall number of collected PBSCs (9.7 × 106/kg bw versus 10.5 × 106/kg bw, p = 0.331) compared to four 21-day cycles of RVd. Plerixafor usage was more common after six cycles of RVd compared to four cycles (16% versus 8%). Addition of elotuzumab to RVd did not adversely affect overall PBSC collection (10.9 × 106/kg bw versus 10.5 × 106/kg bw, p = 0.915). Patients treated with isatuximab-RVd (six cycles) had lower numbers of collected stem cells compared to those receiving RVd (six cycles) induction (8.8 × 106/kg bw versus 9.7 × 106/kg bw, p = 0.801), without experiencing significant delays in LP or increased numbers of LP sessions in a multivariable logistic regression analysis. Plerixafor usage was more common after isatuximab plus RVd compared to RVd alone (34% versus 16%). Conclusions This study demonstrates that stem cell collection is feasible after prolonged induction with isatuximab-RVd without collection failures and might be further explored as induction therapy. Trial registration Patients were treated within the randomized phase III clinical trials GMMG-HD6 (NCT02495922, 24/06/2015) and GMMG-HD7 (NCT03617731, 24/07/2018). However, during stem cell mobilization and -collection, no study-specific therapeutic intervention was performed.
