The fashion industry is one of the most wasteful industries in the world, making up roughly 10% of humanity's carbon emissions, it is the second largest consumer of water worldwide, and 85% of textiles end up in landfills every year. How can we change that and what is the difference between ethics and sustainability? This week Amanda is joined by Kevin Robert Fernandez of Kevin Robert Designs, artist, designer and stylist based in Brooklyn. After realizing he enjoyed getting dressed for his job in criminal psychology more than the job itself, it was time to reevaluate and pursue what he was actually passionate about--fashion and design inspired by waste reduction and sustainability.  Amanda and Kevin talk thrift store shopping, developing your own style, and determining what stands out to each individual as far as ethical practices and what we can do on our own to support our personal missions. Everyone is capable of ethical practice, but it does require commitment. What companies actually have a good recycling program and what prevents others from participating in one at all (side eye to luxury brands).  Stay up to date with the KRD collection on Instagram Follow I have a question! on Instagram  Follow the Missing Sock Network on Instagram and support us on Patreon for access to bonus content and more!

Dr. Mitul Gandhi, medical oncologist-hematologist at Virginia Cancer Specialists of the US Oncology Network, highlights therapeutic advances in multiple myeloma featured at the 2021 ASCO Annual Meeting.   Transcript:  ASCO Daily News: Welcome to the ASCO Daily News Podcast. I'm Geraldine Carroll, a reporter for the ASCO Daily News. My guest today is Dr. Mitul Gandhi, a medical oncologist specializing in hematologic malignancies at Virginia Cancer Specialists, which is part of the US Oncology Network. Dr. Gandhi will discuss therapeutic advances in multiple myeloma featured at the 2021 ASCO Annual Meeting. He reports no conflicts of interest relating to our discussion today, and full disclosures relating to all episodes of the podcast are available on our transcripts at asco.org/podcasts. Dr. Gandhi, welcome to the ASCO Daily News podcast. Dr. Mitul Gandhi: Thank you for having me. ASCO Daily News: Let's first look at the OPTIMUM MUKnine trial. It's Abstract 8001. And it reported high overall response rates in patients with ultra high-risk multiple myeloma with Dara-CVRd induction therapy. What are your takeaways from this study, Dr. Gandhi? Dr. Mitul Gandhi: Sure. So, the OPTIMUM study was conducted by the UK group, and it's noteworthy for several reasons. The way they had constructed the trial, they designed and developed a platform primarily to enrich for a predefined subset of very high-risk individuals, whether it was through a set of genetic assessment or with central gene expression profiling. And the way the trial was conducted, while patients were waiting to ascertain the results of the gene expression profiling (GEP) they could receive two cycles of bridging therapy. Once those results were furnished or they met the cytogenetic risk criteria, patients who subsequently consented to the intervention protocol which was a dose intensified regimen, five drug regimen, incorporating daratumumab, cyclophosphamide, bortezomib, lenalidomide, and dexamethasone. So, patients would receive induction for up to six cycles, and that would include the two cycles of potential bridging therapy as GEP was being evaluated on an every 21 day basis. And then this was followed by a modified conditioning regimen consisting of high-dose melphalan at 200 milligrams per meter squared along with weekly bortezomib which was continued even following autologous stem cell rescue, really until count recovery. Subsequently, patients received an additional six cycles of daratumumab, bortezomib, revlimid, or lenalidomide followed by 12 cycles of daratumumab and rituximab until progression. This was a complex study design with an intensified induction consolidation and maintenance phase, but it did yield a impressively high OR rate, or overall response rate, at 94% with very good partial response or greater seen in 77% after assessment following autologous transplantation, including 46% complete response (CR). And of those with CR, they had identified 63% achieving MRD negativity as well. And I think the authors should be commended for one, enriching a high-risk subset of patients both on conventional cytogenetics and/or GDP, and then two, utilizing the most active agents that we currently have to elicit high responses and then to consolidate on those following transplant. I think some of the take homes from the study are the ability to demonstrate feasibility of central genomic risk stratification related to more precisely identify and select high-risk patients as this is kind of an area of unmet need of where to augment therapy appropriately. I think it's still a question whether or not this is the exact dose intensified regimen that's going to elicit the best long-term outcomes in these highest risk patients and whether or not the conventional surrogates for a long-term progression-free survival (PFS) benefits such as MRD really apply to this as there is some controversy regarding that. Nonetheless, I think this offers a kind of a reproducible platform that can be emulated to identify the highest risk patients. You can do that prospectively, and then to selectively incorporate the most active agents and potentially the next generation of novel agents, including immunomodulators, cellular therapy, bi-specific antibodies earlier in the treatment course, and really try to elicit the deepest initial response and hopefully see that translate into longer term durable control. So, this was a complex study design that was impressively executed, and again with an ability to enrich for the highest risk subsets. ASCO Daily News: Excellent. Thanks for sharing your takeaways from the OPTIMUM trial. Well let's focus on the phase II CARTITUDE-2 study. That's Abstract 8013. This study reported that deep and early responses were yielded with a single infusion of cilta-cel in patients who had received one to three prior lines of therapy for multiple myeloma. What are your thoughts on this trial? Dr. Mitul Gandhi: So, Dr. Usmani presented the CARTITUDE-2 update on behalf of his co-collaborators. And the listeners probably are aware of some of the preliminary data that was presented at ASH as well in 2020, but this is a phase I/II protocol. Currently the phase II data are being presented with a proprietary CAR T platform which has two BCMA single domain antibodies on the CAR T construct along with a co-stimulator domain. And as kind of summarized in the title, the single dose was infused. So, amongst 113 patients who were initially recruited, 97 ultimately were treated with some fallout attributed to progressive disease. Like many of the other CAR T studies, this was a uniformly high-risk and heavily pretreated population. Median age was 61. High-risk cytogenetics were in 23% of patients. And there was about 20% of patients who had harbored plasma cytomas as well. Response rates were impressively high at almost 98%, and 67% obtaining a stringent complete response (CR). Much like the other CAR T experience, response continued to deepen over time. And encouragingly, duration of response was actually not reached time of presentation. Kind of amplifying the depth of response, of the patients assessable for MRD, 93% had achieved an MRD negative state at a sensitivity of 10 to the minus fifth cells, leading to a 12-month PFS of 77% and an OS of 89%. So, these are all welcome numbers and response data, again, in a heavily pretreated population who have been exposed to what we believe all the more active agents in the disease. In parallel with kind of response, with particularly with CAR T is the toxicity data. And encouragingly, while CRS, or cytokine release syndrome, which is typified in CAR T therapy was seen in about 95% of patients, only 4% had grade 3 to 4 CRS. So, on the whole, quite manageable. Median time to onset was 7 days with duration of 4 days and resolved with appropriate medical therapy, including tocilizumab. They did report one patient who had grade 5 CRS with hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) with the remainder, I was summarizing kind of the low level of grade 3, 4 experience. There was additionally neurotoxicity and 21%, with 10% having grade 3 or higher. Again, resolved with supportive care measures. So, in totality this builds on the CAR T experience with high response rates, deep response, rates including achievement of stringent CR and high rates of MRD negativity with only a single dose of CAR T cells infused, again amplifying the efficacy of this platform on a heavily pretreated population and potentially allowing for extended treatment-free intervals as well or options for retreating in people who don't achieve MRD with a manageable toxicity profile at experienced centers. Certainly there's still work that's going to be done to better delineate the extent of CRS and how to appropriately treat that along with the neurotoxicity, but along with several other abstracts presented at this meeting and meetings prior, builds on the CAR T experience, knowledge rapidly coming to the forefront in myeloma therapy. ASCO Daily News: Great. So, some good developments for previously treated patients. Well, now I'd like to focus on newly diagnosed multiple myeloma. Let's look at the CARDAMON trial, Abstract 8000, and the FORTE trial, Abstract 8002. These studies explored novel therapies that are emerging for newly diagnosed multiple myeloma. So in their presentations, these trial investigators seem to question the value of standard of care autologous stem cell transplant (ASCT). So do you think these new data call into question the advantages of the up front ASCT approach in newly diagnosed multiple myeloma? Dr. Mitul Gandhi: That's a great question. And as providers in the myeloma community know, there's still an ongoing debate whether or not to ubiquitously apply a high dose melphalan conditioning and stem cell rescue across the spectrum of all patients with myeloma who are transplant eligible or reserving it for certain patients or not. Some of this is borne out of saving unnecessarily aggressive therapy, who would otherwise achieve an excellent response of induction. Along with some concern for secondary genotoxic effects imparted by the melphalan itself and perhaps propagating more biologically aggressive subclones. And to that end, these two abstracts explored whether or not transplant-free approaches would be feasible. So, the CARDAMON study enrolled 281 patients where all patients received kyprolis, cyclophosphamide, and dexamethasone for four cycles, and of those patients achieving at least a partial response (PR), they were subsequently randomly assigned to continuous KCd or autologous stem cell transplant. And what the authors concluded, KCd induction followed by KCd maintenance was not inferior to autologous stem cell transplant with PFS at 2 years measured at 70% versus 76%, and that difference meeting the criteria that was prespecified in terms of their confidence interval for noninferiority. So, on the surface you could argue based on the results that were presented that there was equivalence. But a few caveats that are important to bring up, the first was that follow-up was short. It was only two years, and so it's very plausible that with longer follow up, the noninferiority that was seen may not be borne out with extended follow up. The other point the author's note was that MRD negativity was higher in the autologous stem cell group at 53% compared to 35.8% of the non-transplant group. And various studies have reported this to be a reasonable surrogate for long-term PFS, not always. And so again highlights the fact that with longer follow up, we may see a separation of the curves. Their subset analyses did not demonstrate any obvious areas, rather a subset of patients that would have derived preferential benefit, although the numbers were quite small. So, while an initial conclusion may be that there was a relative equivalence for a transplant-free approach, I'd argue that it's probably still a bit premature to make that conclusion and noninferiority may not be identical with longer follow up. And additionally, this probably is an induction regimen that is not as commonly employed in the U.S. But it does again help to the body of literature regarding this question of transplant for all versus not, although there may be hopefully more discriminatory power to see where it would be beneficial. The FORTE study presented by Dr. Gay and her colleagues was a bit larger at 464 patients and slightly different. Patients were randomly assigned to one of three arms, carfilzomib plus cyclophosphamide plus dexamethasone for four cycles induction followed by autologous stem cell rescue, carfilzomib, lenalidomide, dexamethasone induction for four cell cycles followed by autologous stem cell rescue, or carfilzomib, lenalidomide, dexamethasone without autologous stem cell for 12 cycles. So, those were the three arms, and then there was a second randomization to lenalidomide versus lenalidomide plus carfilzomib maintenance. Patients were prespecified in terms of their cohorts of high-risk, standard risk, or the so-called double hit which was people, patients rather, harboring two high-risk cytogenetic features. And so what the authors concluded that across the board, the arm containing carfilzomib, lenalidomide, dexamethasone with autologous stem cell rescue demonstrated superior PFS compared to all of the other, rather, the other two arms. And similarly intensification of maintenance incorporating kyprolis plus revlimid resulted in superior 3 year PFS compared to revlimid alone in 90% versus 73%. So what do we take away from this? Well, it's not a conventional induction approach in the U.S., with RVd still predominantly being used, particularly after the endurance data was presented at last year's ASCO showing equivalence of a bortezomib induction strategy versus carfilzomib strategy. It does support and lend credence to the use of high dose melphalan autologous stem cell rescue as patients who are in this arm seem to enjoy a more longer and durable progression-free survival across all subsets, including standard risk, high-risk, and the double hit strategy. So there wasn't any particular subset that could be identified that would have performed equally well with KRd alone without autologous stem cell rescue. Putting these two abstracts together, I would still argue that there remains a very important role for our high dose melphalan and autologous stem cell rescue currently an induction, rather following induction, in appropriately selected patients. And while we may not have identified patients on preselected criteria based on their cytogenetic risk, it's conceivable that we might identify response based criteria, whether it's MRD or otherwise, to perhaps see who may be able to abstain from transplantation. And there are several protocols that are actively accruing, some that have been preliminarily presented, and some that will be presented in subsequent meetings that might lend evidence to this. But for now based on the data sets that were presented at this year's meeting at ASCO, there still seems to be support for use of high dose melphalan and autologous stem cell rescue. ASCO Daily News: Right. Well staying with the issue of transplantation, for over a decade investigators have been exploring the curative ability of alloHCT in select patients with high-risk multiple myeloma. Fast forward to 2021 and the phase II double blind, placebo controlled, blood and marrow transplant clinical trials network 1302 trial. That's Abstract 7003. This study found that when performed with a reduced intensity conditioning regimen of bortezomib, fludarabine, and melphalan, alloHCT was safe in patients with high-risk multiple myeloma. What are your thoughts on this, and do you anticipate further research on the role of alloHCT in patients with multiple myeloma and high-risk features? Dr. Mitul Gandhi: So, this is an interesting abstract presented by Dr. Nishihori and her colleagues specifically looking at the role of ixazomib maintenance following a reduced intensity conditioning regimen of fludarabine, melphalan, and bortezomib in patients with high-risk myeloma. So this study was a phase II study enrolling patients under the age of 70 with high-risk myeloma defined by cytogenetics, or presence of plasma cell leukemia, or relapse within 24 months of an autologous stem cell transplant, which has been identified as a prognostic factor independent of baseline risk of poor outcomes, with the goal of administering the reduced intensity conditioning followed by HLA matched donor unmanipulated graft with methotrexate and tacrolimus GVHD prophylaxis, and starting at day 60, randomization ixazomib versus placebo maintenance. It should be noted that the goal initially was to enroll 110 patients, but ultimately only 57 patients were accrued over the course of 4 years from 2015 to 2018, 52 ultimately receiving an allogeneic HCT and 43 proceeding to maintenance. And so this in and of itself highlights the challenges of running an alginate transplant trial in myeloma mainly because sick patients may be by the point where allogeneic transplant is being entertained or inability to achieve sufficient disease control in order to pursue the transplant. But with respect to the study itself, they reported a PFS and overall survival (OS) outcome at 24 months, of 52% and 85% respectively, with transplant-related mortality at a respectable 11%. So in context of the small studies that had previously been reported in this space of allo SCT and myeloma, this was improved treatment-related mortality related to the procedure itself. With respect to the question at hand regarding the role of ixazomib maintenance, interestingly they showed no difference in PFS, with ixazomib versus placebo at 55% and 59% and OS at 95% and 87%. In terms of the toxicity, it was not trivial. Grade 3 to 4 acute GVHD at day 100 was 9.5% in the ixazomib arm, 0% in the placebo arm. And chronic GVHD was 69% versus 64%. So, where do we take all of this data in context? I think there is a signal of lower transplant-related mortality compared to historical controls, and so it probably speaks to the improved ability to identify patients and also get them through transplant with this modified conditioning. The follow up, however, was abbreviated, and so there may be increased relapse over time as well. In terms of where does this fit in the armamentarium of therapy with refractory myeloma, I think that's still to be determined. And perhaps it's going to be occupying more of a niche role given the blossoming repertoire of highly efficacious immune-based agents, whether it's modified cellular therapy with CAR T a upcoming NK cell products that are being explored, and of course by specifically antibodies that have been robustly presented at this meeting demonstrating impressive responses. So, it's very conceivable that patients who were previously would be entertained for allogeneic SCT will now be in are treated with this kind of repertoire of novel immune agents. And so it may become a more of a niche role in patients who have exhausted all conventional or investigational approaches, but it does suggest that with this modified reduced intensity conditioning, treatment-related mortality can be lowered. With respect to the question at hand, it does not appear as though maintenance ixazomib helps these patients. And so observation alone following transplant versus an alternative maintenance strategy would be indicated. ASCO Daily News: OK. Well I'd like to ask you about the Apollo trial. That's Abstract 8046. This study looked at health-related quality of life of previously treated patients with multiple myeloma on a regimen of pomalidomide and dexamethasone plus subcutaneous daratumumab. Any surprises here, Dr. Gandhi? Dr. Mitul Gandhi: So, the Apollo study is a phase III trial primarily evaluating the efficacy of pomalidomide plus dexamethasone versus pomalidomide dexamethasone plus the incorporation of subcutaneous daratumumab in patients with myeloma who had received one prior line of therapy. And primary outcomes data had already been presented with improved rates of disease control with incorporation of daratumumab. With respect to this abstract, Dr. Terpos presented quality of life and patient-reported outcomes that was collected in parallel with the intervention arm of this study, and so they utilized the EORTC 30 item questionnaire to assess quality of life and subjective data from patients. And what they found was in the patients who had been on the DPD arm, or the daratumumab arm, there was a greater reduction in pain and no real augmentation or introduction of increased adverse events related to the additional agent. Moreover, there was no decline in physical or emotional functioning with DPD, but there was worsening decline in those elements compared to baseline for patients receiving pomalidomide and dexamethasone alone. There were higher rates of improvement with respect to control of disease symptoms, physical functioning, emotional functioning on the DPD arm. So, what does this tell us? Well in general, I think we've seen a plethora of agents that have improved outcomes with our patients with myeloma who are now living for years on therapy, increasingly and often even into a second decade. And so gaging the impact of therapy on quality of life, subjective sense of well-being is critical as these patients are going to be on therapy for quite a while. And so independent of serologic and laboratory response, we certainly want the interventions to improve functional capacity. And this data would suggest that you can achieve that in parallel with achieving better and deeper responses, which intuitively makes some sense, and they are often congruous. Involving the incorporation of an additional agent didn't worsen the sense of adverse events, but in fact improved the general sense of well-being. So this adds to the body of work of daratumumab on a MM dexamethasone backbone parting benefit without toxicity and also lending credence to the notion that by improving myeloma parameters, we're going to be in parallel improving quality of life. And so with the advent of all the other agents and novel compounds that are being developed after the acute toxicity period, we'd also expect to see improvement in quality of life as well. And so I think this was an important contributor to telling us this. ASCO Daily News: Excellent. Well thank you so much, Dr. Gandhi. I really appreciate your time today. Before we wrap up, any final thoughts from you on advances in multiple myeloma? There's certainly some really impactful work being done in the field. Dr. Mitul Gandhi: Yeah. I think I would encourage all the listeners to review the abstracts presented, particularly the oral abstracts as they get into some of the granularity on detail regarding the individual CAR T and bispecific antibody products, and very nicely demonstrate the durable responses that are being achieved in heavily pre-treated patients. Obviously kind of the next sort of hurdle in the field is to democratize these agents and make sure they're readily available for all patients. And there's a lot of work being done to ensure that management of the acute toxicity can be managed more broadly. So I think I'd pay particular attention to the oral abstract sessions which really demonstrate the novel agents that are being investigated.

Dr. Mitul Gandhi, a medical oncologist specializing in hematologic malignancies at Virginia Cancer Specialists, which is part of the US Oncology Network, highlights key abstracts from the #ASCO20 Virtual Scientific Program that aim to improve outcomes for patients with multiple myeloma. Transcript ASCO Daily News: Welcome to the ASCO Daily News Podcast. I'm Geraldine Carroll, a reporter for the ASCO Daily News. I'm delighted to welcome Dr. Mitul Gandhi, a medical oncologist with Virginia Cancer Specialists, which is part of the US Oncology Network. Dr. Gandhi's clinical and research focus is in malignant hematology.   Today he will highlight key abstracts featured at the ASCO20 Virtual Scientific Program and discuss the potential of new agents and treatment approaches to improve outcomes for patients with multiple myeloma. Dr. Gandhi reports no financial conflicts of interest relating to the issues discussed in this podcast. Full disclosure is relating to all daily news podcasts can be found on our episode pages.   Dr. Gandhi, welcome to the ASCO Daily News Podcast.   Dr. Mitul Gandhi: Thank you for having me. I really appreciate the opportunity to review the abstracts from this year's meeting.   ASCO Daily News: Can you tell us about the abstracts that will likely support new standards of care?   Dr. Mitul Gandhi: So within the world of multiple myeloma, there were several exciting studies that were conducted with investigational agents that are new, and then repurposing existing agents in different lines of therapy. When reviewing this, while it may not change how we practice tomorrow, it certainly informs what may be in the very near future.   I think a representative abstract is 8500, presented by Dr. Richardson and his colleagues, and involved a novel compound CC-92480 in relapsed refractory myeloma. And this is an interesting compound, which is a Cereblon ligase modulator and a next iteration of agent based on the Revlimid and, rather, lenalidomide and pomalidomide mechanism acting on Cereblon and degrading Ikaros and Aiolos.   And this was a phase I study with a phase II expansion based on the maximally tolerated dose. And what they found were that this agent studied in heavily pretreated myeloma patients, all refractory lenalidomide, pomalidomide in the majority refractory to anti-CD38 antibodies. This drug was still able to achieve a response across several dosing cohorts.   They had a complex study design involving twice daily along with once daily dosing, and a 1.0 milligram-per-day dose was identified as a MTD. And at that dose, they found 48% of patients achieved a response, with correlative studies demonstrating degradation in Ikaros and Aiolos consistent with the mechanism of action.    And so what it tells us is that this mechanism still remains a potent avenue for exploitation in spite of progression on first- and second-rate generation compounds like lenalidomide and pomalidomide. So this informs possible changes in the future, where we would continue to use a compound like CC-92480 in spite of progression on the existing agents.   And we can see itself working in earlier lines of study and complexing with other compounds to the increased response rate. So this is something that we think will be relevant in the future if not relevant tomorrow in terms of standard of care.   ASCO Daily News: There have been substantial improvements in survival for patients with multiple myeloma in recent years, thanks to the introduction and widespread use of multiple novel agents and regimens. Are there new treatment approaches or agents in development that people should be aware of?   Dr. Mitul Gandhi: Absolutely. I think this can be viewed in a few ways. As all the listeners are well aware of and have experience with, the monoclonal antibodies on top of the existing backbone of treatment that has led to significant improvement and outcomes with relapsed refractory patients, both with daratumumab and elotuzumab.   Daratumumab, of course, being in an anti-CD38 antibody and elotuzumab targeting SLAMF7. There are next-generation antibodies on the anti-CD38 backbone, such as isatuximab. And that was studied in abstract 8508 in high-risk multiple myeloma by Dr. Weisel and colleagues from Germany.   So this particular study kind of captures what the goal is, which are moving these monoclonal antibodies higher up in the lines of therapy. So this particular trial looked at higher risk multiple myeloma, defined by chromosomal aberrations, such as deletion 17p, translocation (4;14) or (14;16), or excess copies of 1q21.   These patients received isatuximab on top of the KRd backbone, with an option for pursuing stem cell transplantation. There were 50 patients in the initially presented data -- 46 in the transplant eligible; 4 in the transplant ineligible. And one of the striking things that was identified was a 46% complete response rate in a otherwise high-risk cohort.   So this is emblematic of what the field is moving towards, which is incorporating these novel antibodies on top of an established backbone and seeing better response rate that were initially met. And as an increasing amount of data identifies achieving lower and lower myeloma burden and hopefully MRD negativity, minimal residual disease negativity, earlier on, pretending long-term, better outcomes, incorporation of these novel antibodies is one - exciting, and two - it will hopefully help inform the next generation of therapy.   Notably, these results are still preliminary phase II studies. And longer term follow up will be needed to identify if they are better than the existing outcome. Another study in that same vein is abstract 8507, presented by Dr. Zafar and his colleagues from SWOG, incorporating elotuzumab with the RVd backbone for, again, newly diagnosed, high-risk multiple myeloma.   They define high risk in a similar vein as a German group with translocation (14;16), (14;20), 17 p or gain of 1q21. And they took 103 patients, randomized them to RVd or RVd plus elotuzumab. They found at 53 months median follow up, a relative similarity in the progression-free survival. 31 months for RVd and 34 months for elo RVd with a P value of 0.449.   And there was no overall survival observed, albeit that truncated follow up. Notably, there were higher rates of response with the incorporation of elotuzumab. And so what this study validated is it's certainly using the proteasome inhibitor backbone. But maybe switching the antibody to increase response rates has, at least at this first analysis, there was no improvement in PFS.   Nonetheless, I think it's an important study, as the goal seems to be incorporating novel compounds on top of an existing backbone to improve depth of response. So these are two representative abstracts, which shows where the field is moving. And the patients that are relapsed and refractory, a slew of other studies targeting anti-BCMA are particularly exciting and relevant.   The DREAMM-6 study, abstract 8502, presented by Dr. Nooka,  used belantamab, which is an antibody drug conjugate targeting the BCMA B-cell maturation antigen conjugated to a cytotoxic payload. And in heavily pre-treated penta-refractory patients, they achieved an impressive response rate, with a clinical benefit rate of almost 80%, which is exciting, as these are patients with limited treatment options.   This is a novel mechanism of action with evidence of excellent responses, many that seem to be durable. It did have a unique toxicity profile, which is increasingly being recognized with cutaneous toxicity. So incorporation of opthalmology and identification of mitigation strategies are going to be important as more familiarity is gained.   But there are a number of further studies that are being pursued with belantamab. In context of this, there were three cellular therapy protocols also presented -- abstract 8503 by Dr. Munshi and colleagues, and abstract 8504 by Dr. Mailankody and colleagues, and abstract 8505 by Dr. Berdeja and colleagues. All three were abstracts around cellular therapy using a CAR T construct targeting BCMA with three different compounds.   And all three looked at similar patient populations with heavily pretreated patients. Abstract 8503 by Dr. Munshi looked at 140 patients penta-refractory and triple-class refractory that were treated with this compound in escalating doses. They found at the highest dose cohort at 450 times 10 to the 6 cells, an overall response rate of almost 82%, many of them durable with durability at median of 11 months.   This was associated with cytokine release storm along with some neurotoxicity, both at night, rather, at 96% and 20%, respectively-- but well managed. Similar findings were found on the other cellular products. Orvacabtagene presented by Dr. Mailankody on abstract 8504 and a Juno product in abstract 8505 by Dr. Berdeja. There was evidence of cytokine release and neurotoxicity in both. But again, with significant response rates in heavily treated patients, many of them durable. So altogether, it shows that an  extension beyond what we discussed initially, where there is next generation of compounds on existing mechanism of actions, these series of abstracts are looking at incorporation of monoclonal antibodies, improving on outcomes in first-line therapy, along with targeting BCMA through either an antibody drug conjugate or through cellular therapy, eliciting responses in very heavily pre-treated patients. Many of them are durable. But with a unique set of toxicities ranging from cutaneous to cytokine release storm.   ASCO Daily News: Dr. Gandhi, are there any other clinical trials that really stood out for you this year?   Dr. Mitul Gandhi: So a few other abstracts I think that are worth noting, with respect to the clinical trials question, I think with the data that's been presented in the abstracts we've talked about, they inform the next generation of studies as we build upon the outcomes that were presented for more mature data, longer term data, and novel combinations.   A few other studies that I think were informative -- abstract 8509, presented by Dr. Kumar and colleagues, involving venetoclax plus bortezomib and dexamethasone in relapsed refractory myeloma. This was interesting because we know that venetoclax seems to have preferential sensitivity and rearranged (11;14) patients for BCL-2 high.   And what the study found in a randomized fashion of 291 patients-- 194 to the venetoclax arm and 97 of the placebo-- in the patients that had a rearranged (11;14) translocation were felt to have BCL-2 high, median duration of PFS was not reached compared to 9.9 months in the placebo arm.   So this is an impressive targeted therapy in a subset of patients. It seems to enjoy very long-term responses in spite of being heavily pretreated with venetoclax, which is a drug that's increasingly gaining experience across a wide swath of hematologic malignancies. And so it speaks to the heterogeneity of this disease and perhaps targeting on a more genomically stratified approach with these targeted compounds.   There are a few other studies I think might be relevant for practical matters on a day-to-day basis in the clinic. One of them was 8518, presented by Dr. Ailawadhi and colleagues, regarding the use of RVd in newly diagnosed myeloma with renal impairment. As we know, many of our patients can present with myeloma-associated kidney dysfunction, whether through light-chain deposition disease or a cast nephropathy with high light-chain levels.   And there sometimes is a bit of a trepidation in administering Revlimid in this setting out of concern for toxicity in the setting of depressed GFR. They performed a retrospective analysis and found that even in patients with baseline depressed GFR ranging from less than 30 or between 30 and 60, the incorporation of lenalidomide helped achieve almost equivalent outcomes in patients compared to patients who had a preserved GFR greater than 60.   So in their transplant-ineligible patients, for example, they found a median PFS of 36 months compared to 30 months in people with and without creatinine clearance less than 60. In their transplant-eligible patients, interestingly, they found a PFS of 48 months versus 43 months in the same cohort. So this speaks to the ability to safely administer this drug in achieving nearly equivalent outcomes compared to the people who have baseline intact kidney function.   So with appropriate monitoring, modification of dosing, and attention to myelosuppression, it seems as though we should be using lenalidomide-based induction therapy, which we would otherwise would if the patient's GFR was preserved and still able to achieve long-term durable responses.   A couple of other smaller studies that I think are worth mentioning include abstract 8515, presented by Dr. Cornell and colleagues, regarding bortezomib induction in light-chain amyloidosis prior to autologous stem cell transplant. There has been some question regarding what the best induction strategy is in patients who presented with light-chain amyloid.   And so this was a retrospective analysis of the CIBMTR database. We're looking at patients who had received a bortezomib-based induction versus no induction prior to proceeding with a stem cell transplant using high-dose melphalan. And it was fairly clear in their followup that a bortezomib-based induction was associated with decreased risk of relapse within two years -- 13% in the bortezomib arm versus 22% in the patients that presented directly to transplant -- and translated into overall longer PFS as well.   So this validates the use of bortezomib in patients prior to stem cell transplantation in a niche population with amyloid. Similarly, abstract 8516, presented by Dr. Zhang and colleagues, questioned whether the incorporation of an alkyqlating agent on top of this proteasome inhibitor backbone would help in these patients with light-chain amyloid.   There has been an increased use of cyclophosphamide, bortezomib, dexamethasone induction based on smaller phase II studies. So this group looked at retrospectively a bortezomib plus an alkylating backbone versus one with bortezomib alone. And found that the overall hematologic response rate was fairly similar -- 73% in the patients that received bortezomib plus an alkylator versus 85% that did not, which was not statistically significant.   So it seems as though while there is a temptation to use the alkylator, it may not be necessary. And bortezomib alone may be sufficient. But of course, it would be on a case-by-case basis. But it adds to the body of literature regarding how to treat these patients with amyloid. So I thought those were helpful analyses in a smaller population but which may be relevant tomorrow in clinic.   ASCO Daily News: Well, thank you, Dr. Gandhi, for sharing your valuable insights on these promising developments in this field.   Dr. Mitul Gandhi: Thank you for the opportunity. I appreciate it.   ASCO Daily News: And thank you to our listeners for joining us today.

During the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Annual Meeting, the Multiple Myeloma Hub was delighted to speak to Shaji Kumar, Mayo Clinic, Rochester, US. We asked: Should we use carfilzomib, lenalidomide, and dexamethasone (KRd) or bortezomib, lenalidomide, and dexamethasone (VRd) for patients with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma (NDMM)? In this podcast he describes the results of the ENDURANCE (E1A11) phase III trial.Shaji Kumar discusses the results of the primary endpoints: progression-free survival, and duration of therapy, as well as the secondary endpoints: MRD-negativity, overall survival, and toxicity. He also discusses quality of life metrics, including renal and neurotoxicity-related symptoms. As this study excluded high-risk patients, Shaji Kumar briefly describes the results of another trial (S1221) that enrolled a high-risk patient population to fully answer the question.

Howie introduces the new morning host for KRD and says goodbye was a positive message.

If our interview with Mike Rutherford helped us understand one thing very clearly, it's not to ever underestimate Louisville. That word of advice also applies to Rutherford as he proved he's still got 'it' as you'll find out in the podcast. We're not giving that part away so you'll have to listen. You'll find out about a resurging Cardinals men's basketball team under the guidance of Chris Mack. Then, the impact Scott Satterfield will have on the football program. Break out your dictionaries as Will Ojanen, Xayveon and Jim Quist talk with special guest Mike Rutherford (SB Nation, Card Chronicle, 790 KRD) on episode #153 of ACC Nation Podcast. The nice thing about today's media is that you're not limited in your selection. There's more sources for sports fans than ever. If you're a fan of Louisville you can certainly keep in touch with what's happening via Card Chronicle. And, if you don't live in the metro Louisville area you can still listen to Mike Rutherford (Ramsey and Rutherford) weekday afternoons beginning at 3:00pm ET via the streaming link at 790 KRD. Your familiarity with Rutherford should extend into social media as well. We thought you might be interested in taking a closer look at what's going on at Louisville as we hit mid February. The thought is that the Cardinals will be headed to the NCAA's this year. However, there's still plenty of question marks hovering around the program. And, football is easing back into the conversation as well. With a new coach at the helm you'll get Rutherford's take on the program.
