What have we learn Velcade especially benefit t(4;14) patients Inclusion of Velcade (and hence prolonged use) in different phases of treatment is important in high-risk disease The use of double autologous transplant seem to also be an important factor. Revlimid seem to have a more moderate and less consistent effect on high-risk disease Thalidomide maintenance contra-indicated in 17p13 deletion Newer Imids and PI may be more effective
Conclusion No current routine role for NGS in clinic yet We should adopt standardized risk categories Revised ISS should be current gold standard GEP and post-treatment MRD/Imaging await further studies No evidence for the routine application of risk-adapted therapy Best evidence is use of Velcade for patients with t(4;14) Should incorporate risk stratification into design of clinical trials Test hypothesis in high-risk patients e.g. Velcade maintenance, double transplant, allo-SCT, Use of novel PI and Imids upfront
