    • Epidemiology and outcome of myeloma are mainly reported from large university centers and collaborative groups, and do not represent 'real-world' patients. The Swedish Myeloma Registry is a prospective population-based registry documenting characteristics, treatment and outcome in newly diagnosed myeloma, including asymptomatic and localized forms, with the purpose of improving disease management and outcome. This report presents information on patients diagnosed between 2008 and 2015, including data on first-line treatment in patients diagnosed up to 2014, with a follow up until December 2016. We present age-adjusted incidence, patients' characteristics at baseline, treatment, response, and survival. Baseline data were available with a 97% coverage in 4904 patients (median age 71 years, males 70 years, females 73 years; 72% were 65 years or older), and at 1-year follow up in 3558 patients with symptomatic disease (92% of patients initially reported). The age-adjusted incidence was 6.8 myeloma cases per 100,000 inhabi-ants per year. Among initially symptomatic patients (n= 3988), 77% had osteolytic lesions or compression fractures, 49% had anemia, 18% impaired kidney function, and 13% hypercalcemia. High-dose therapy with autologous stem cell transplantation was given to 77% of patients aged up to 66 years, and to 22% of patients aged 66-70 years. In the study period, 68% received bortezomib, thalidomide, and/or lenalidomide as part of the first-line treatment, rising from 31% in 2008 to 81% in 2014. In active myeloma, the median relative survival of patients aged 65 years or under was 7.7 years, and 3.4 years in patients aged 66 years and over. Patients diagnosed with myeloma in more recent years were associated with significantly higher rates of complete or very good partial remission (P<0.05), and with a significantly higher survival, with a Hazard Ratio (HR) of 0.84 (95% CI: 0.77-0.92; P<0.05). There was a small, but significant survival benefit in patients treated at university hospitals (HR 0.93; 95% CI: 0.87-0.99; P<0.05). We report here on a near complete 'real-world' population of myeloma patients during an 8-year period; a period in which newer drugs were implemented into standard practice. The overall incidence and median age were both higher than in most previous studies, indicating a more complete coverage of older patients. Myeloma survival in Sweden is comparable to other large registry studies, and responses and survival improved during the study period.

  • The Use of Novel Drugs Can Effectively Improve Response, Delay Relapse and Enhance Overall Survival in Multiple Myeloma Patients with Renal Impairment
  • 2014

  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • Background: Renal impairment is a common feature in multiple myeloma and is considered a poor prognostic factor. Aim: To determine the impact of novel drugs (i.e. bortezomib, lenalidomide and thalidomide) in the treatment of myeloma patients with renal impairment. The primary endpoint was overall survival and secondary endpoints were time to next treatment and response. Methods: The study population included all patients diagnosed with treatment-demanding multiple myeloma January 2000 to June 2011 at 15 Swedish hospitals. Renal impairment was defined as an estimated glomerular filtration rate under 60 mL/min/1.73 m(2). Result: The study population consisted of 1538 patients, of which 680 had renal impairment at diagnosis. The median overall survival in patients with renal impairment was 33 months, which was significantly shorter than 52 months in patients with normal renal function (P<0.001). Novel agents in first line improved overall survival (median 60 months) in non-high-dose treated patients with renal impairment (n = 143) as compared to those treated with conventional cytotoxic drugs (n = 411) (median 27 months) (P<0.001). In the multivariate analysis up front treatment with bortezomib was an independent factor for better overall survival in non-high-dose treated renally impaired patients. High-dose treated renally impaired patients had significantly better median overall survival than non-high-dose ones (74 versus 26 months) and novel drugs did not significantly improve survival further in these patients. Patients with renal impairment had both a shorter median time to next treatment and a lower response rate than those with normal renal function. However, novel drugs and high dose treatment lead to a significantly longer time to next treatment and the use of novel agents significantly improved the response rate of these patients. Conclusion: High dose treatment and novel drugs, especially bortezomib, can effectively overcome the negative impact of renal impairment in patients with multiple myeloma.
