Deeper response predicts better outcomes in high-risk-smoldering-myeloma: results of the I-PRISM phase II clinical trial

Summary: | Abstract Early therapeutic intervention in high-risk smoldering multiple myeloma (HR-SMM) has shown benefits, however, no studies have assessed whether biochemical progression or response depth predicts long-term outcomes. The single-arm I-PRISM phase II trial (NCT02916771) evaluated ixazomib, lenalidomide, and dexamethasone in 55 patients with HR-SMM. The primary endpoint, median progression-free survival (PFS), was not reached (NR) (95% CI: 57.7–NR, median follow-up 50 months). The secondary endpoint, biochemical PFS, was 48.6 months (95% CI: 39.9–NR) and coincided with or preceded SLiM-CRAB in eight patients. For additional secondary objectives, the overall response rate was 93% with 31% achieving complete response (CR) and 45% very good partial response (VGPR) or better. CR correlated strongly with the absence of SLiM-CRAB and biochemical progression. MRD-negativity (10-5 sensitivity) predicted a 5-year biochemical PFS of 100% versus 40% in MRD-positive patients (p = 0.051), demonstrating that deep responses significantly improve time to progression. Exploratory single-cell RNA sequencing linked tumor MHC class I expression to proteasome inhibitor response, and a lower proportion of GZMB+ T cells within clonally expanded CD8+ T cells associated with suboptimal outcomes. |
