Background: Several studies demonstrate that LEN MNTC post ASCT reduces the risk of disease progression or death in patients (pts) with MM by ≈ 50% (Attal NEJM 2012; McCarthy NEJM 2012; Palumbo NEJM 2014). However, these studies were not powered for OS. To assess the effect of LEN MNTC post ASCT on OS, an MA was conducted. Methods: A prospectively planned MA assessed the OS of LEN vs placebo/no MNTC (control; CTL) after ASCT. A search identified 17 randomized controlled trials (RCTs) using LEN post ASCT. 3 RCTs (IFM 2005-02, CALGB 100104 [Alliance], GIMEMA RV-209) met prespecified inclusion criteria (had pt-level data, a CTL arm, and achieved database lock for primary efficacy analysis of NDMM pts receiving LEN post ASCT). A March 2015 cutoff of the 3 RCTs enabled sufficient OS events to test treatment effect (HR = 0.78). Results: In the 3 RCTs, 1209 pts were randomized from 2005 to 2009 to receive LEN (n = 605) 10 mg/day on days 1-21/28 (GIMEMA) or 1-28/28 (IFM and CALGB) or CTL (n = 604). With a median follow-up of 6.6 yrs, 491 pts (41%) had died. Baseline characteristics were generally balanced in the pooled data. After induction and single (82%) or tandem (18%) ASCT, 55% of pts achieved a complete response (CR) or very good partial response (VGPR). Median OS for LEN vs CTL was not reached vs 86 mos (HR = 0.74; 95% CI, 0.62-0.89; log-rank P = .001), and 5-, 6-, and 7-yr OS were longer in LEN vs CTL group (71% vs 66%, 65% vs 58%, and 62% vs 50%, respectively). Fisher’s combination test confirmed the significant OS benefit of the MA (P = .001). Pts who achieved ≤ PR post ASCT benefited from LEN (HR = 0.86; 95% CI, 0.65-1.15) as well as pts with CR/VGPR (HR = 0.70; 95% CI, 0.54-0.90). OS benefit was generally consistent across subgroups. Heterogeneity test showed significant difference across trials (P = .047). The potential impact of baseline/disease characteristics, as well as 2nd-line therapy (IFM and CALGB), on OS will be explored and presented. Second primary malignancy data will be presented. Conclusions: This large MA demonstrates that LEN MNTC significantly prolonged OS vs CTL post ASCT, including in pts who achieved CR, demonstrating benefit in pts in all response categories.
