The present study provides real-world evidence on the treatment of multiple myeloma (MM) bone disease with various bisphosphonates combined for different myeloma-specific treatments as no validated data regarding the best combination treatment for bone disease associated with MM are available. We examined retrospectively 345 MM patients treated with autologous stem cell transplantation in Finland during 1996-2020. The median age of the patients was 60 years with a median follow-up time of 50 months (1-339). At diagnosis, 72.1% of the patients had myeloma-associated bone disease and 45.8% had fractures. Most patients (58.8%) received proteasome inhibitor (PI)-containing treatment at first line. MM bone disease was treated in 91.6% of the patients; 49.9% received zoledronic acid (ZA) and 29.9% pamidronate. Inferior overall survival was associated with MM bone disease at diagnosis ( = 0.005) or a fracture at diagnosis ( = 0.003). A later fracture was identified in 29% of the patients, and in those patients without MM bone disease at diagnosis later fractures were less common after ZA treatment ( = 0.049). PI-based treatment plus ZA ( = 0.019) seemed to be the best combination to prevent later fractures, even though the same patient subgroup was more likely to experience relapse ( = 0.018), and also when excluding patients with previous induction therapy without novel agents ( = 0.008). To conclude, this study suggests that the best therapy to prevent later fractures in MM might be PI-based treatment combined with ZA.
本研究提供了关于多种双膦酸盐联合用于不同骨髓瘤特异性治疗以治疗多发性骨髓瘤(MM)骨病的真实世界证据,因为目前尚无关于MM相关骨病最佳联合治疗的有效数据。我们回顾性研究了1996年至2020年期间在芬兰接受自体干细胞移植的345例MM患者。患者的中位年龄为60岁,中位随访时间为50个月(1 - 339个月)。诊断时,72.1%的患者患有骨髓瘤相关骨病,45.8%的患者发生过骨折。大多数患者(58.8%)一线接受含蛋白酶体抑制剂(PI)的治疗。91.6%的患者接受了MM骨病治疗;49.9%的患者接受了唑来膦酸(ZA)治疗,29.9%的患者接受了帕米膦酸治疗。诊断时患有MM骨病(P = 0.005)或诊断时发生骨折(P = 0.003)与总体生存率较低相关。29%的患者出现了后期骨折,在那些诊断时无MM骨病的患者中,ZA治疗后后期骨折较少见(P = 0.049)。基于PI的治疗加ZA(P = 0.019)似乎是预防后期骨折的最佳联合方案,尽管同一患者亚组更有可能复发(P = 0.018),排除既往诱导治疗未使用新型药物的患者后也是如此(P = 0.008)。总之,本研究表明,预防MM患者后期骨折的最佳治疗方法可能是基于PI的治疗联合ZA。
