Abstract
e19513 Background: The purpose of this retrospective cohort study was to describe the treatment regimens received by adult multiple myeloma (MM) patients who were exposed to carfilzomib (K) in the US Oncology Network (USON). Methods: Eligible patients received K-based regimens for MM at least once between 11/01/2013 and 02/29/2016, were ≥18 years old, were not in a clinical trial, and had at least 2 visits at a USON clinic. Data on systemic therapies, lines of therapy (LOT), clinic visits and treatment administration dates were abstracted from the electronic health records (EHR). Treatment sequencing logic was used to identify progression by LOT. Sequencing rules were based on regimens, duration, and administration dates. Treatment regimens utilized at any time during the study period were analyzed by LOT. Results: 718 MM patients received a K-containing regimen at least once over the course of treatment. The frequency distribution of regimens for K-exposed patients by LOT (2 to 5) are provided (see Table). Among these patients, K-based regimens comprised 66.6% of LOT2 regimens, 55.3% of LOT3 regimens, and 45.9% of regimens used beyond LOT3. K+ lenalidomide + dex (KRd) was the most common K-containing regimen used in LOT2 (24.7%). K-triplets containing an immunomodulatory agent were most frequent in LOT 2 and K-doublets (Kd) were most frequent in LOT 3. Conclusions: In our study, K-based regimens were used across LOTs 2 to 5 with highest frequency observed in LOT2. K-triplets with immunomodulatory drugs were more common in earlier LOTs.
