Abstract
Background
Gain and amplification of 1q21 (1q21+) are adverse chromosomal aberrations of multiple myeloma (MM) that lead to refractoriness to a variety of therapies. While it is known that daratumumab, an anti-cancer monoclonal antibody, cannot overcome the disadvantage of 1q21+in relapsed/refractory MM patients, its benefit in newly diagnosed MM (NDMM) patients with 1q21+has not been clarified.
Patients
We retrospectively evaluated 11 (55%) 1q21+patients (3 copies: 6, > 4 copies: 5) among 20 NDMM patients (median age, 74 years) who received daratumumab-containing regimens at Shibukawa Medical Center from October 2019 to October 2022.
Results
The overall response rate was 82% for patients with 1q21+and 78% for patients without 1q21+. Median progression-free survival (PFS) and median overall survival (OS) were not reached in either group. Neither 1q21 copy number nor co-existence of other high-risk cytogenetic abnormalities significantly affected PFS or OS.
Conclusion
Our preliminary data suggests that outcomes of daratumumab treatment in NDMM 1q21+patients might be non-inferior to those in non-1q21+patients.
