The "Thalidomide tragedy" is a landmark in the history of the pharmaceutical industry. Despite limited clinical trials, there is a continuous effort to investigate thalidomide as a drug for cancer and inflammatory diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, lepromatous leprosy, and COVID-19. This review focuses on the possibilities of targeting inflammation by repurposing thalidomide for the treatment of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). Articles were searched from the Scopus database, sorted, and selected articles were reviewed...

Monoclonal Gammopathy of Undetermined Significance (MGUS) is an asymptomatic premalignant plasma cell dyscrasia with a predominate rise of the IgG immunoglobulin fraction without end-organ damage, often diagnosed incidentally. Despite its progression into various subsequent forms of hematological malignancies, MGUS remains underdiagnosed. A literature search was conducted using the Medline, Cochrane, Embase, and Google Scholar databases, including articles published until December 2022. Keywords used encompassed "Monoclonal Gammopathy of Undetermined Significance," "Plasma Cell dyscrasia," "Monoclonal gammopathy of renal significance," and "IgM Monoclonal gammopathy of Undetermined Significance," This study aimed to conduct a critical review to update knowledge regarding the pathophysiology, risk factors, clinical features, diagnostic protocols, complications, and current and novel treatments for MGUS...

Immune dysregulation is a hallmark of clinically active multiple myeloma (MM). Interactions between malignant clonal cells and immune cells within the bone marrow microenvironment are associated with the formation of a milieu favorable to tumor progression. IL-10, TGF-β and other immunoregulatory pathways are upregulated, promoting angiogenesis, tumor cell survival and inhibition of the native immune response. Transcriptomic evaluation of the bone marrow microenvironment reveals polarization of the T cell repertoire towards exhaustion and predominance of accessory cells with immunosuppressive qualities...

Bortezomib, lenalidomide, and dexamethasone induction chemotherapy (VRd), followed by autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT), are the standard of care for patients with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma (NDMM). Pomalidomide is currently approved for relapsed-refractory multiple myeloma. This single-arm, open-label, phase 2 study was the prospective evaluation of the efficacy and safety of bortezomib, pomalidomide, and dexamethasone (VPd) induction for NDMM. We used Fleming's two-stage design for sample size calculation...

PURPOSE: The aim of this study was to determine the power of the SUVmax value obtained from 18 F-FDG PET/CT in multiple myeloma (MM) patients to be able to predict immunophenotype characteristics (CD20, CD44, CD56, CD117, CD138 antigen expressions), bone marrow fibrosis, cyclin D1 oncogene, and M-protein subtypes which play a role in diagnosis-treatment and prognosis of the disease. MATERIAL AND METHOD: The study included 54 patients with multiple myeloma who underwent PET/CT for initial staging and bone marrow biopsy...

Chimeric Antigen Receptor (CAR)-modified T lymphocytes represent one of the most innovative and promising approaches to treating hematologic malignancies. CAR-T cell therapy is currently being used for the treatment of relapsed/refractory (r/r) B-cell malignancies including Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia, Large B-Cell Lymphoma, Follicular Lymphoma, Multiple Myeloma and Mantle Cell Lymphoma. Despite the unprecedented clinical success, one of the major issues of the approved CAR-T cell therapy - tisagenlecleucel, axicabtagene, lisocabtagene, idecabtagene, ciltacabtagene and brexucabtagene - is the uncertainty about its persistence which in turn could lead to weak or no response to therapy with malignancy recurrence...

INTRODUCTION: Patients with triple-class-exposed relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma (TCE-RRMM) have a poor prognosis and limited treatment options. Teclistamab, a B-cell maturation antigen × CD3 bispecific antibody, was studied in patients with TCE-RRMM in the single-arm MajesTEC-1 study. To assess the relative effectiveness of teclistamab versus real-world physician's choice of therapy (RWPC), adjusted comparisons were performed using individual patient data from MajesTEC-1 and LocoMMotion, a prospective study of patients with TCE-RRMM...

Natural Killer (NK) cells yield promise in therapy of hematologic malignancies. The clinical experience with adoptively transferred allogeneic NK cells over past two decades has revealed safety and minimal risk of CRS or ICANS. Unlike T cells which have to be genetically altered to avoid graft vs host disease (GVHD), HLA mismatched NK cells can be infused without GVHD risk. This makes them ideal for the development of off-the-shelf products. In this review we focus on NK biology relevant to the cancer therapy, the trajectory of NK therapeutics for leukemia, lymphoma, and myeloma; and advantages of the NK cell platform...

High-dose chemotherapy followed by autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) is the standard treatment for symptomatic multiple myeloma (MM) in patients under 65 years of age. However, the performing of ASCT in older patients > 65 years without comorbidities or complications is controversial. Introduction of novel drugs, such as daratumumab, has improved the long-term survival of patients with MM who are ineligible for ASCT. This retrospective study aimed to evaluate the clinical significance of ASCT in older patients, even in the era of novel drugs...

BACKGROUND: Current guidelines recommend using filgrastim or tbo-filgrastim to mobilize hematopoietic progenitor cells in an autologous setting. However, previous studies have suggested other forms of granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) are equally efficacious, possibly with fewer leukaphereses required. Thus, we prospectively studied the efficacy of lenograstim, a glycosylated recombinant form of G-CSF, in multiple myeloma (MM) patients. METHODS: From November 2011 to January 2020, 98 MM patients undergoing autologous stem cell transplant (ASCT) from five academic centers in Korea were enrolled...

IgA plasma cell myeloma (PCM) has been linked to molecular abnormalities that confer a higher risk for adverse patient outcomes. However, since IgA PCM only accounts for approximately 20% of all PCM, there are very few reports on high-risk IgA PCM. Moreover, no such reports are found on the more infrequent biclonal IgA PCM. Hence, we present a 65-year-old Puerto Rican female with acute abdominal pain, concomitant hypercalcemia, and acute renal failure. Protein electrophoresis with immunofixation found high IgA levels and detected a biclonal IgA gammopathy with kappa specificity...

Among hematological malignancies, multiple myeloma (MM) represents the leading indication of autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (auto-HCT). Auto-HCT is predominantly performed with peripheral blood stem cells (PBSCs), and the mobilization and collection of PBSCs are essential steps for auto-HCT. Despite the improved success of conventional methods with the incorporation of novel agents for PBSC mobilization in MM, mobilization failure is still a concern. The current review comprehensively summarizes various mobilization strategies for mobilizing PBSCs in MM patients and the evolution of these strategies over time...
