Martin Kaiser: Co-occurrence of more than 2 HRCAs is associated with highest unmet need in NDMM and RRMM

Martin Kaiser, Reader in Molecular Haematology at The Institute of Cancer Research, shared an article on X:

“Very happy to see our global collaborative effort published in Journal of Clinical Oncology: co-occurrence of ≥2 HRCAs is consistently associated with highest unmet need in NDMM and RRMM, across time and treatment modalities.

This work took a federated analysis approach, letting all participating collaborators investigate themselves trial-by-trial how consistent co-occurrence of 2+ HRCAs is for predicting high-risk myeloma , using a centrally pre-defined free algorithm that was shared with everyone.

The results were highly consistent, which is striking, given the vastly heterogeneous treatments and patient populations.

Without a need for complex data transfers, scientists around the globe were empowered to interrogate their own data and explore new aspects across trials.

Prognostic association of 2+ HRCAs with poorer outcome was stronger for trials performed after 2015, suggesting marked progress for standard risk, less so for high-risk patients.

Fortunately, very recent GMMG-CONCEPT and OPTIMUM/MUKnine trials have informed better approaches.

A fantastic collaborative effort, very grateful to all, (Marc S. Raab, Marivi mateos, Bruno Paiva, Heidelberg Myeloma on this platform) and many other co-authors, their study groups and teams and, most of all, patients!
