Novel proteasome inhibitors in the management of MM Discussion Point

Cellular Impact of Proteasome Inhibition in Nonclinical Studies Proteasomes are enzyme complexes that degrade intracellular proteins in a regulated manner in all cells, both healthy and cancerous 2. Cancer cells depend upon proteins regulated by the proteasome for proliferation, metastasis and survival 3. Inhibition of the proteasome by bortezomib prevents the degradation of intracellular proteins, affecting multiple signaling cascades within cells 4. The disruption of signaling cascades in cancer cells can lead to cancer cell death and inhibit tumor growth 1 Invest New Drugs 2000;18: Physiol Rev 2002;82: Sci Am 2001;284: Cell 1998;92:

Management of MM bone disease: Role of kyphoplasty, radiation therapy and/or bisphosphonates Discussion Point

Case 5 (from the practice of Ms Richards) A 64-year-old engineer and active runner developed chronic foot pain that led to an MRI, which demonstrated a lytic lesion in the foot. Bone survey revealed multiple lytic lesions, and bone marrow biopsy confirmed the diagnosis of MM The patient received CyBorD (with subcutaneous bortezomib) followed by ASCT but preferred not to receive maintenance therapy Eighteen months later he developed sternal pain, and a PET-CT showed uptake in the sternum, which was proven to be nonsecretory MM He was restarted on CyBorD and is responding again He has become hyperactive and unable to sleep due to corticosteroids and sends multiple s at night to the clinical staff
