All of these novel substances differ at least in part in their mode of action from similar drugs of the same drug class, or are representatives of new drug classes, and as such present with very specific side effect profiles. In this review, we summarize these adverse events, provide information on their prevention, and give practical guidance for monitoring of patients and for management of adverse events.

Here we addressed the hypothesis that the protein junctional adhesion molecule-A (JAM-A) may represent a novel target and a clinical biomarker in MM. We evaluated JAM-A expression in MM cell lines and in 147 MM patient bone marrow aspirates and biopsies at different disease stages. Elevated JAM-A levels in patient-derived plasma cells were correlated with poor prognosis. Moreover, circulating soluble JAM-A (sJAM-A) levels were significantly increased in MM patients as compared with controls. Notably, in vitro JAM-A inhibition impaired MM migration, colony formation, chemotaxis, proliferation and viability. In vivo treatment with an anti-JAM-A monoclonal antibody (αJAM-A moAb) impaired tumor progression in a murine xenograft MM model. These results demonstrate that therapeutic targeting of JAM-A has the potential to prevent MM progression, and lead us to propose JAM-A as a biomarker in MM, and sJAM-A as a serum-based marker for clinical stratification.

T1 - Genetic correlation between multiple myeloma and chronic lymphocytic leukaemia provides evidence for shared aetiology JF - Blood Cancer Journal N2 - The clustering of different types of B-cell malignancies in families raises the possibility of shared aetiology. To examine this, we performed cross-trait linkage disequilibrium (LD)-score regression of multiple myeloma (MM) and chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL) genome-wide association study (GWAS) data sets, totalling 11,734 cases and 29,468 controls. A significant genetic correlation between these two B-cell malignancies was shown (Rg = 0.4, P = 0.0046). Furthermore, four of the 45 known CLL risk loci were shown to associate with MM risk and five of the 23 known MM risk loci associate with CLL risk. By integrating eQTL, Hi-C and ChIP-seq data, we show that these pleiotropic risk loci are enriched for B-cell regulatory elements and implicate B-cell developmental genes. These data identify shared biological pathways influencing the development of CLL and, MM and further our understanding of the aetiological basis of these B-cell malignancies.

However, treatment options in practice are limited by availability, approval, and patient comorbidity. The aim of this article is to provide a practical approach toward the choice of treatment for r/r myeloma patients. Summary: Regarding market authorization and current guidelines, at least in Germany, most patients nowadays will have received a doublet or triplet combination as first-line therapy containing a proteasome inhibitor and an immunomodulatory drug, mostly lenalidomide. We focus on the treatment options for patients that are ineligible for (another) stem cell transplantation. We will review treatment options for relapse after first- or second-line therapy and beyond third-line. Key Messages: There is promising data supporting the efficacy and safety of triplet combinations containing anti-CD38-monoclonal antibodies (anti-CD38 mAbs) at first or second relapse in combination with next-generation compounds. For the treatment beyond third-line, comparative studies are scarce but some promising compounds are available via conditional authorization, and there is more to come in the future. We will present some early phase trials featuring promising results.
