Background: Following autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplant (auto HCT), maintenance therapies improve survival, reduce relapse risk in multiple myeloma (MM), and are the de facto standard-of-care. However, clinical trials have shown an increased risk of second primary malignancies (SPM) with maintenance therapy, including second hematological malignancies (SHM). We examined data from the Center for International Blood and Marrow Transplant Research (CIBMTR) registry to evaluate the impact of SPM on progression-free (PFS) and overall survival (OS) and the utilization of allogeneic HCT in patients with therapy-related myeloid neoplasms (t-MN). Methods: Adult patients (pts) with MM who underwent first auto HCT in the United States with a melphalan conditioning regimen from 2011-2018 and subsequently received maintenance therapy were included (N=3948). The primary endpoint of interest was the impact of SPM and SHM on OS. Multivariate analytic (MVA) modelling was applied, accounting for competing risks while integrating significant covariates to determine the impact of SPM on PFS and OS. Finally, we studied the utilization and survival following allogeneic HCT for SHM. Results: Baseline characteristics were similar between the two groups. Maintenance regimens used were lenalidomide (2836, 72%), bortezomib (370,9 %) or lenalidomide + bortezomib (372, 9%) based combinations. At a median follow up of 37 months, 175 (5%) pts developed SPM, including 112 (64%) solid 36 (21%) myeloid, and 27 (15%) lymphoid cancers. In MVA, the development of SPM and SHM was associated with an inferior PFS (HR 2.62, P<0.001 and HR 5.01, P<0.001, respectively) and OS (HR 3.85, P<0.001 and 8.13, P<0.001, respectively). The two commonest causes of death were MM (42%) and SPM (30%) for those developing SPM. Similarly, MM (53%) and SHM (18%) were the two commonest causes of death for those developing SHM. Nine (14%,5 t-MDS and 4 t-AML) of 63 patients with SHM underwent an allogeneic HCT. Patients undergoing allogeneic HCT were more likely to have Karnofsky score ≥90 (100% vs. 50%, P=0.02) compared to those who did not. One year survival from allo SCT was 66.7% (CI 34.6-92%). Conclusions: The three-year cumulative incidence of SPM was 3.3 (2.6-4)% in this large contemporaneous CIBMTR cohort. Disease relapse remains the primary cause of death in MM patients who develop SPM or SHM. Given the median OS for MM is now > 10 years, longer follow-up is needed to assess the SPM and SHM risks with maintenance therapy post-auto HCT.
