Multiple Myeloma Treatment Regimens

Multiple Myeloma Treatment Regimens

Clinical Trials: The NCCN recommends cancer patient participation in clinical trials as the gold standard for treatment.

Cancer therapy selection, dosing, administration, and the management of related adverse events can be a complex process that should be handled by an experienced health care team. Clinicians must choose and verify treatment options based on the individual patient; drug dose modifications and supportive care interventions should be administered accordingly. The cancer treatment regimens below may include both U.S. Food and Drug Administration-approved and unapproved indications/regimens. These regimens are provided only to supplement the latest treatment strategies.

These Guidelines are a work in progress that may be refined as often as new significant data become available. The NCCN Guidelines® are a consensus statement of its authors regarding their views of currently accepted approaches to treatment. Any clinician seeking to apply or consult any NCCN Guidelines® is expected to use independent medical judgment in the context of individual clinical circumstances to determine any patient’s care or treatment. The NCCN makes no warranties of any kind whatsoever regarding their content, use, or application and disclaims any responsibility for their application or use in any way.

  a Preferred primarily as initial treatment in patients with acute renal insufficiency or those who have no access to bortezomib/lenalidomide/dexamethasone. Consider switching to bortezomib/lenalidomide/dexamethasone after renal function improved.

  b Hydration is recommended pre-and post-administration of carfilzomib.

  c Carfilzomib can potentially cause cardiac and pulmonary toxicity, especially in elderly patients.

  d Includes both daratumumab for intravenous infusion and daratumuab and hyaluronidase-fihj for subcutaneous injection. Daratumumab and hyaluronidase-fihj for subcutaneous injection have different dosing and administration instructions compared to daratumumab for intravenous infusion.

  e Treatment option for patients with renal insufficiency and/or peripheral neuropathy.

  f Hydration is required with supplemental electrolytes pre- and post-administration of Cisplatin.

  g Generally reserved for the treatment of aggressive multiple myeloma.

  h There appears to be an increased risk for secondary cancers, especially with lenalidomide maintenance following transplant. The risks and benefits of maintenance therapy vs. secondary cancers should be discussed with patients.

  i Continuously until progression. Benboubker L, Dimopoulos MA, Dispenzieri A, et al. Lendalidomide and dexamethasone in transplant-ineligible patients with myeloma. N Engl J Med. 2014;371:906-917.

  j Consideration for appropriate regimen is based on the context of clinical relapse.

  k If a regimen in this section was used as a primary induction therapy and relapse is >6 mo, the same regimen may be repeated.

  l Clinical trials with these regimens primarily included patients who were lenalidomide-naïve or with lenalidomide-sensitive multiple myeloma.

  m Indicated for patients who have received at least two prior therapies, including lenalidomide and a proteasome inhibitor.

  n Indicated for the treatment of patients who have received at least two prior therapies including an immunomodulatory agent and a proteasome inhibitor and who have demonstrated disease progression within 60 days of completion of the last therapy.

  o Indicated for patients who have received at least four prior therapies, including an anti-CD38 monoclonal antibody, a proteasome inhibitor, and an immunomodulatory agent.

  p Indicated for the treatment of patients who have received at least two prior therapies including an immunomodulatory agent and a proteasome inhibitor.

  q Indicated for those who have received at least four prior lines of therapy and whose disease is refractory to at least one proteasome inhibitor, one immunomodulatory agent, and one CD38-directed monoclonal antibody.

  r Consider single-agent lenalidomide or pomalidomide for patients with steroid intolerance.

  s Indicated for the treatment of patients who have received at least two prior therapies, including bortezomib and an immunomodulatory agent.

  t Indicated for the treatment of patients who have received at least three prior therapies, including a proteasome inhibitor and an immunomodulatory agent or who are double refractory to a proteasome inhibitor and an immunomodulatory agent.
