Shain, MD, PhD Assistant Member H. Lee Moffitt Cancer Center Assistant Professor University of South Florida College of Medicine Tampa, Florida Patient Case and Question A 65-year-old violinist is diagnosed with myeloma and receives Revlimid, Velcade, and dexamethasone (RVD) followed by high-dose melphalan and stem cell transplantation and Revlimid maintenance. 2½ years later, her myeloma markers are increased and, in light of persistent left leg pain, a PET-CT is performed and reveals a new lesion there and in a few other areas. Which of the following factors is NOT a consideration for her treatment at this point? A. The amount of neuropathy she has or could develop B. Her travel schedule C. The genetics of her myeloma at the time of her diagnosis D. The presence of bone disease E.

Academic Editor: Jennifer Carew Received: 29 July 2014 / Accepted: 4 December 2014 / Published: 24 December 2014 Abstract: Multiple myeloma (MM) is an incurable hematological malignancy characterized by the clonal proliferation of neoplastic plasma cells. The use of proteasome inhibitors in the treatment of MM has led to significant improvements in outcomes. This article reviews data on the use of the two approved proteasome inhibitors (bortezomib and carlfilzomib), as well as newer agents under development. Emphasis is placed on the clinical use of proteasome inhibitors, including management of side effects and combination with other agents. Keywords: multiple myeloma; proteasome inhibitors; toxicity 1. Introduction Multiple myeloma (MM) is a malignant neoplasm characterized by clonal proliferation of plasma cells in the bone marrow that produce monoclonal protein (M-protein) that may be detected in the serum or urine. It is the second most common hematologic cancer in the United States (after Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma); an estimated 24,050 new cases and 11,090 deaths will occur due to MM in the USA in 2014 [1].

ABSTRACT Background: Chemotherapy with gemcitabine and nab-paclitaxel (gemcitabine/ nab-paclitaxel) is recommended for unresectable pancreatic cancer. However, the therapeutic efficacy is attenuated by the antitumor agent-induced activation of nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB). Thalidomide inhibits NF-κB activation, therefore, we hypothesized that pomalidomide, a third-generation IMiD, would also inhibit NF-κB activation and enhance the antitumor effects of gemcitabine/nab-paclitaxel. Methods: In vitro, we assessed NF-κB activity and apoptosis in response to pomalidomide alone, gemcitabine/nab-paclitaxel, or combination of pomalidomide and gemcitabine/nab-paclitaxel in human pancreatic cancer cell lines (PANC-1 and MIA PaCa-2).

Rush, BS7; Duncan H. Walker, PhD7; Mieke Ptaszynski, MD7; and Jonathan L. Kaufman, MD8 BACKGROUND: Filanesib is a kinesin spindle protein inhibitor that has demonstrated encouraging activity in patients with recurrent/ refractory multiple myeloma. Preclinical synergy with bortezomib was the rationale for the current phase 1 study. METHODS: The cur- rent study was a multicenter study with an initial dose-escalation phase to determine the maximum tolerated dose of 2 schedules of filanesib plus bortezomib with and without dexamethasone, followed by a dose-expansion phase. RESULTS: With the addition of pro- phylactic filgastrim, the maximum planned dose was attained: 1.3 mg/m2/day of bortezomib plus 40 mg of dexamethasone on days 1, 8, and 15 of a 28-day cycle, with filanesib given intravenously either at a dose of 1.5 mg/m2/day (schedule 1: days 1, 2, 15, and 16) or 3 mg/m2/day (schedule 2: days 1 and 15). The most common adverse events (assessed for severity using version 4.0 of the National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events) were transient, noncumulative neutropenia and thrombocytopenia with grade 3/4 events reported in 44% (16% in cycle 1 with filgastrim) and 29% of patients, respectively.
