Description
Summary:ABSTRACT Aims/Background Recent agents have profoundly reshaped the multiple myeloma (MM) landscape. Their real‐world impacts need to be assessed over the long term. Methods EMMY is a non‐interventional, prospective dynamic cohort, conducted in France, since 2017, with 900 patients enrolled each year. Newly diagnosed MM (NDMM) who initiated a treatment from 2017 to 2020 are here described. Results A total of 1036 non‐transplant eligible (NTE) patients (median age: 74.9 years) and 561 patients who received autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) (median age: 60.6 years) were enrolled. For ASCT patients, a shift in induction treatment from bortezomib‐thalidomide‐dexamethasone (VTd) (29.1%) to bortezomib‐lenalidomide‐dexamethasone (VRd) (55.1%) marked the period. Maintenance treatment with R after ASCT became a standard (75% of patients). In NTE patients, R‐based regimens were increasingly used from 29.4% in 2017 (of whom Rd.: 17.0%, VRd: 10.6%) to 73.3% in 2020 (of whom Rd.: 21.8%, VRd: 48.5%). Median progression‐free survival (mPFS) was 46.5 months (95% CI: 37.8–50.6) and 18.7 months (95% CI: 16.3–20.8) in ASCT and NTE patients, respectively. In the ASCT group, patients treated with and without R maintenance had a mPFS of 51.8 (95% CI: 44.1–NA) and 29.6 months (95% CI: 21.8–40.9), respectively. In the NTE group, the mPFS was 26.3 (95% CI: 21.9–30.9) and 14.6 months (95% CI: 11.9–17.7) in patients who received an R‐based and non‐R‐based regimen, respectively. The estimated 48‐month overall survival rates were 89% (95% CI: 84.5–92.2) and 63% (95% CI: 58.5–67.1) for ASCT and NTE patients, respectively. Conclusions The 2017–2020 period was marked by the expansion of R use in both NDMM ASCT and NTE patients.
