2 Discussion 1 Accurately Diagnosing MM: When Should Systemic Myeloma Treatment Be Initiated? Presented by Bruno Paiva, PhD

3 Presenting Faculty Bruno Paiva, PhD Department of Hematology and Immunology Flow Cytometry Core - CIMA LAB Diagnostics University of Navarra Pamplona, Spain Bruno Paiva, PhD, has disclosed that he has received consulting fees from Celgene, Janssen, Merck, Novartis, and Takeda, funds for contracted research from Celgene, EngMab and Sanofi, and fees for non-cme/ce services from Amgen, Celgene, Janssen, and Takeda.

4 Program Director Brian G.M. Durie, MD Co-Chair Myeloma Committee, SWOG Chairman, International Myeloma Foundation Specialist in Multiple Myeloma and Related Disorders Cedars-Sinai Outpatient Cancer Center Los Angeles, California Brian G.M. Durie, MD, has disclosed that he has received consulting fees from Celgene, Johnson & Johnson, Amgen, and Takeda.

5 Patient Case 1 A 52-yr-old asymptomatic male has elevated total serum protein (10.2 g/dl) with normal albumin during a routine analysis Labs show hemoglobin 14 g/dl and creatinine 0.8 mg/dl, with normal calcium levels and liver function IgG-Kappa M-protein was detected (3.5 g/dl) with hypogammaglobulinemia Serum kappa/lambda free light chain (sflc) ratio is 85 Skeletal survey, PET/CT, MRI show no lytic lesions, increased uptake, or focal lesions 12% plasma cell bone marrow infiltration, 97% are abnormal by flow FISH shows del(17p)

6 Would you consider this patient a candidate for treatment? Expert Brian G.M. Durie, MD Philippe Moreau, MD Bruno Paiva, PhD Recommendation Only on a clinical trial, because the patient has highrisk smoldering myeloma Only on a clinical trial, because the patient has highrisk smoldering myeloma Only on a clinical trial, because the patient has highrisk smoldering myeloma S. Vincent Rajkumar, MD Only on a clinical trial, because the patient has highrisk smoldering myeloma Jesús F. San-Miguel, MD, PhD Only on a clinical trial, because the patient has highrisk smoldering myeloma

7 Patient Case 1, Continued A 52-yr-old asymptomatic male has elevated total serum protein (10.2 g/dl) with normal albumin during a routine analysis Labs show hemoglobin 14 g/dl and creatinine 0.8 mg/dl, with normal calcium levels and liver function IgG-Kappa M-protein was detected (3.5 g/dl) with hypogammaglobulinemia Serum kappa/lambda free light chain (sflc) ratio is 85 Skeletal survey, PET/CT, MRI show no lytic lesions, increased uptake, or focal lesions 12% plasma cell bone marrow infiltration, 97% are abnormal by flow FISH shows del(17p) After 1 yr, his M-protein increases 15%, his sflc ratio increases up to 100, hemoglobin levels decrease by 1 g/dl, and bone marrow plasma cell infiltration increases up to 20% (100% clonality by flow)

8 Now, would you consider this patient a candidate for treatment? Expert Brian G.M. Durie, MD Philippe Moreau, MD Bruno Paiva, PhD Recommendation Yes, the patient has active myeloma Yes, the patient has active myeloma Yes, the patient has active myeloma S. Vincent Rajkumar, MD Yes, the patient has active myeloma Jesús F. San-Miguel, MD, PhD Yes, the patient has active myeloma

26 Summary Better understanding of myeloma biology and development of sensitive biomarkers have contributed to accurately diagnosing myeloma o Initiate treatment in the presence of CRAB and/or MDE Goals by initiating treatment earlier: o Prevent development of CRAB (MDE) o Prevent transformation to malignant states that remain mostly incurable (eg: R-ISS-3) Disease control (eg, monotherapy) Disease eradication (eg, intensive combination therapy) IMWG guidelines to standardize biomarkers (invasive and minimally invasive) to identify patients with high-risk SMM candidates to be enrolled in clinical trials
