Real-world toxicity and effectiveness of ixazomib, lenalidomide, and dexamethasone in Korean patients with relapsed and/or refractory multiple myeloma

초록

Background/aim Ixazomib, lenalidomide, and dexamethasone (IRd) have proven efficacy and an excellent safety profile in relapsed and/or refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM). However, there are limited reports on the real-world safety and effectiveness of IRd regimens in Asian patients with RRMM. Patients and methods This was a retrospective study of 60 patients with RRMM who were treated with IRd. Results The median patient age was 68 years. Forty percent of patients did not meet the eligibility criteria for the TOURMALINE-MM1 trial. Patients received a median of one prior line of therapy. Non-hematologic adverse events (AEs) were more common than hematologic AEs. The most common AE was skin rash, followed by gastrointestinal toxicities. Most grade 3 or higher AEs were observed in less than 5% of the patients, except for skin rashes and infections. IRd therapy did not aggravate peripheral neuropathy (PN) in 20 of the 24 patients with pre-existing peripheral neuropathy. The overall response rate was 85%. After a median follow-up of 26.3 months, the median progression-free survival was 25.9 months and overall survival was not reached. Conclusion Ixazomib and Rd combination therapy had a comparable toxicity profile and effectiveness in real-world RRMM patients.
