    Abstract Introduction: As we have just stepped into a new decade of hopes, the mountain of knowledge learned from multiple myeloma (MM) remains unmatched among cancers. In the last decade alone, this rapid-sequence learning curve has led to regulatory approvals of eight drugs with mechanisms of actions representing five different areas of cell biology some of which made to the frontline setting, sparking debates about how to best sequence them in the treatment continuum of induction, consolidation, and maintenance and gained momentum with the realization of the implications of an effective upfront therapeutic approach with potential impact on survival.
    Areas covered: This review was written with an intent to introduce the reader to the current treatment approach of a newly diagnosed myeloma patient and acquaint with promising targets and mechanistic strategies. Medline and clinicaltrials.gov databases (2000-2020) and relevant meetings (ASH, ASCO, EHA, ESMO, IMW) reports were queried and guidelines (IMWG) were reviewed to distill to expert opinion in an inundating field.
    Expert opinion: Future holds promise with new targets on the horizon. It is likely that the new age of myeloma will belong to quadruplets with the addition of acellular or cellular biologics to first-generation novel agents, leading to new paradigms.

    Abstract There are significant disparities with regards to incidence, timely diagnosis, access to treatment, clinical trial participation and health care utilization that negatively impact outcomes for African American patients with multiple myeloma. Health care providers have a role in ameliorating these disparities with thoughtful consideration of historical, sociocultural, individual and disease characteristics that influence the care provided to African American patient population. This review by a group of experts committed to health disparity in multiple myeloma provides a snapshot of disparities at both biologic and non-biologic levels, barriers to clinical care, and best practices to ensure that African American patients receive the best care available.

    Abstract Introduction: Induction therapy for multiple myeloma is traditionally capped at 6 cycles of lenalidomide due to concerns that longer treatment compromises the ability to collect sufficient stem cells for autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT). However, during the COVID-19 pandemic, many of our patients received prolonged lenalidomide induction due to concerns about proceeding to ASCT. We investigated whether prolonged induction with lenalidomide affects the efficacy of stem cell collection among patients mobilized with cyclophosphamide and/or plerixafor.
    Patients and methods: This single center, retrospective study included patients who were treated with lenalidomide induction regimens, received mobilization with cyclophosphamide or plerixafor, and underwent apheresis in preparation for ASCT. 94 patients were included, 40 of whom received prolonged induction with >6 cycles of lenalidomide containing regimen.
    Results: Patients who received prolonged induction were more likely to require >1 day of apheresis (38% vs. 15%; OR 3.45; P = .0154), and there was a significant correlation between the duration of lenalidomide treatment and the apheresis time required to collect sufficient cells for transplant (R
    Conclusion: Among patients treated with >6 cycles of lenalidomide, mobilization augmented with cyclophosphamide and/or plerixafor will likely facilitate sufficient stem cell harvest to permit ASCT.

    Abstract Immune checkpoints and agonists modulate ongoing, antigen-specific immune responses. Therapeutic blockade of CTLA-4, PD-1, and PD-L1 has proven to be an effective treatment approach for a subset of patients with a variety of cancers of epithelial, mesenchymal, or hematologic origin. In multiple myeloma, a B-cell lymphoid malignancy of terminally differentiated plasma cells, PD-1 pathway blockade is ineffective as a single agent. The initial promise in combination approaches utilizing anti-PD-1 with the immunomodulatory drugs, lenalidomide or pomalidomide, was not confirmed in randomized trials. Here, we explore available data for and against manipulation of the PD-1 pathway and other immune checkpoints in myeloma and highlight several promising concepts and challenges that face ongoing development of immunotherapeutics for this disease.

    Abstract Multiple myeloma is the second most common hematologic malignancy. The treatment of this disease has changed considerably over the last two decades with the introduction to the clinical practice of novel agents such as proteasome inhibitors and immunomodulatory drugs. Basic research efforts towards better understanding of normal and missing immune surveillence in myeloma have led to development of new strategies and therapies that require the engagement of the immune system. Many of these treatments are under clinical development and have already started providing encouraging results. We, for the second time in the last two decades, are about to witness another shift of the paradigm in the management of this ailment. This review will summarize the major approaches in myeloma immunotherapies.

    Abstract Multiple myeloma is characterized by clinical and biologic heterogenicity. Recently, genetic analysis has provided predictable prognosis across different types of treatment. These advances have allowed patients to be categorized into different risk groups and have been particularly useful in defining a high-risk group with short survival after standard- and high-dose chemotherapies. Preliminary studies have shown promising outcomes after the use of novel agents, such as bortezomib, thalidomide, and lenalidomide in high-risk patients, including those eligible for autologous stem cell transplantation and those who cannot or will not undergo transplantation. The application of risk-based therapy and the potential of the new agents to abrogate the influence of adverse prognostic features may improve outcomes in these patients.

    Abstract Maintenance therapy in multiple myeloma has been under investigation for more than 3 decades, without evidence of clear benefit until recently. Chemotherapy maintenance offers no benefit after conventional or high-dose treatment. Interferon-based maintenance is associated with minimal improvements in clinical outcomes, but is poorly tolerated. Results of corticosteroid maintenance studies have been conflicting; at least one randomized trial showed improved survival with prednisone maintenance after conventional chemotherapy. The role of the novel agents thalidomide, lenalidomide, and bortezomib as maintenance is emerging. Most reported maintenance studies have evaluated thalidomide, alone or in combination with a corticosteroid. Several of these studies suggest that thalidomide-based maintenance prolongs overall survival after autologous stem cell transplantation. Important questions that have not yet been resolved include the optimal dose and duration of thalidomide, whether clinical benefit depends on response to induction therapy and risk for relapse, and whether reported benefits are caused by cytoreduction or eradication of minimal residual disease, especially with bortezomib maintenance. Ongoing randomized trials are evaluating lenalidomide and bortezomib maintenance therapies to better define the role of these drugs as maintenance in multiple myeloma.
