2 Trends in Overall Survival of MM
1.0 Diagnosis period Median OS 1996– months 1971– months (P<0.001) 0.8 2001–2006 OS, overall survival. 0.6 Survival 0.4 Trends in Overall Survival of MM Kumar et al studied survival in 387 patients who were treated at the Mayo Clinic from 1971–2006 and experienced a first relapse after ASCT Patients were divided into 2 cohorts, those with a relapse date on or before December 31, 2000 and those with a later relapse date Median overall survival (OS) was longer for patients who relapsed after 2000 compared with those who relapsed prior to this date (23.9 vs 11.8 months) Improved outcome of patients with MM has been observed in recent years, both in the relapsed setting as well as at diagnosis Reference Kumar SK, Rajkumar SV, Dispenzieri A, et al.

3 CR and MM Is CR an adequate surrogate for OS? Are all CRs as durable?
Should we strive for CR pre-transplant? What is the role of HDCT for patients in CR pre-transplant?

4 CR associated with OS prolongation in post-induction and post-transplant settings1-3
Chemotherapy Alone Chemotherapy and ASCT CR associated with OS prolongation in post-induction and post-transplant settings Assessing the prognostic impact of achieving CR has been difficult because of the use of different definitions of CR.1 [Harousseau/p3139/c2/para3/lines1-3] Although not all studies show a correlation between CR and OS in MM, CR generally indicates patients who are likely to live longer.2 [Wang/p500/fig1] Many studies have demonstrated that CR is usually associated with longer overall survival.1[Harousseau/p3140/c2/para1/lines1-9] These findings have been demonstrated in both the postinduction and posttransplant settings.3[Lahuerta/p5778/table3] 1.

Clearly not a transplant candidate based on age, performance status and comorbidity Conventional Therapy Potential transplant candidate Non-alkylator based induction x 4 cycles Stem cell harvest

16 Conclusions Three drug induction regimen are associated with higher CR rates compared to two drug regimen. In the transplant eligible population prospective trials have shown a higher CR rate and PFS for two drug regimen. Follow-up is too short for analyses of OS. In the transplant ineligible population three drug regimes of thalidomide and bortezomib have a OS advantage compared with MP. Whether non-melphalan containing two drug regime may be equivalent is the subject of ongoing trials. We have entered an era of risk stratification for deciding therapy. However no consensus has emerged on treatment paradigms.
