Director of Myeloma Research at Sarah Cannon Research Institute in Nashville, Tennessee

During their presentations, MHM speakers will be asking the audience how they would respond to patient cases. Audience members will vote live at the meeting via an audience response system, but we want to know what you would do.

CLINICAL DILEMMA

A 73-year-old man with relapsed multiple myeloma presents for follow-up with new onset bone pain and anemia.

After his diagnosis of ISS stage II, IgA kappa myeloma, he was treated with four cycles of lenalidomide, bortezomib, dexamethasone, and then single autologous hematopoietic cell transplantation. He experienced a very good partial response (VGPR) and then maintenance with lenalidomide for three years. He stopped maintenance due to symptomatic relapse with new del17p.

He then was treated with daratumumab, bortezomib, dexamethasone and achieved a VGPR that lasted 12 months. Now, he has developed symptomatic relapse. The patient has a history of coronary artery disease and hypertension and is using a walker due to new pain and residual grade 2 peripheral neuropathy.

What regimen would you recommend next?

  1. Carfilzomib, dexamethasone
  2. Bortezomib, pomalidomide, dexamethasone
  3. Daratumumab, pomalidomide, dexamethasone
  4. Elotuzumab, pomalidomide, dexamethasone
  5. Other
