Bone Health and Skeletal Complications in Multiple Myeloma clinicaloptions.com/oncology 3 Types of Bone Lesions Lesions may be osteolytic, osteoblastic, or mixed in solid tumors –In breast cancer –Most metastases are osteolytic –Approximately 15% to 20% of patients have predominately osteoblastic lesions –In certain other tumors (eg, kidney and thyroid), lesions may be primarily osteolytic –In prostate cancer, most metastases are osteoblastic –Any patient with metastatic solid tumor can have all 3 types of metastases Only in MM are lesions osteolytic Roodman GD.

Bone Health and Skeletal Complications in Multiple Myeloma clinicaloptions.com/oncology Summary: IV Bisphosphonate Trials for Pts With Bone Disease of Malignancy Both pamidronate and zoledronic acid administered every 3-4 weeks reduce development of new SREs for patients with osteolytic disease from breast cancer and MM Only zoledronic acid has shown this benefit for patients with metastatic bone cancer –From all types of other primary solid tumors –With lytic or blastic bone lesions Infusion time is much shorter with the more potent zoledronic acid (15 mins) than with pamidronate (120 mins)
28
Bone Health and Skeletal Complications in Multiple Myeloma clinicaloptions.com/oncology Other Treatment Recommendations Reduce risk of falls Encourage weight-bearing exercise (eg, walking) Physical therapy Oral vitamin D (≥ 800 U) and calcium (≥ 1000 mg/day) –Many cancer patients are deficient –Check vitamin D levels on all patients! –If deficient, replace with higher amounts daily or weekly

Bone Health and Skeletal Complications in Multiple Myeloma clinicaloptions.com/oncology Monoclonal Gammopathy of Undetermined Significance (MGUS) Definition –Serum monoclonal protein ≤ 3 g/dL –< 10% plasma cells in the bone marrow –Absence of lytic bone lesions, anemia, hypercalcemia, and renal insufficiency related to the plasma cell proliferative process Incidence –3% of individuals older than 50 years of age –5% older than 70 years of age Risk of bone-related problems –Elevated rate of bone resorption –Increased prevalence of osteopenia/osteoporosis –Heightened risk of fractures especially vertebral compression fractures Kyle RA, et al.

Bone Health and Skeletal Complications in Multiple Myeloma clinicaloptions.com/oncology Zoledronic Acid for MGUS Patients With Osteopenia/Osteoporosis: Summary Zoledronic acid administered at 4 mg every 6 months (at 0, 6, and 12 months) –Significantly improves BMD for MGUS patients with bone loss (osteopenia or osteoporosis) –Is safe and well tolerated –Is likely to be an effective treatment to prevent the development of new fractures in this high-risk population Berenson J, et al. Clin Cancer Res. 2008;14:6289-6295.
33
Bone Health and Skeletal Complications in Multiple Myeloma clinicaloptions.com/oncology Bisphosphonates: Adverse Effects Oral: GI intolerance (in up to 1/3 of patients) especially esophagitis and esophageal ulcers Intravenous (pamidronate or zoledronic acid) –Flu-like symptoms (fever, myalgias, arthralgias) –Occurs usually 12-48 hrs following the infusion –Lasts 6-24 hrs –Occurs in a minority of patients (10% to 20%) –Not observed with continued dosing –Similar frequency with different drugs –Steroids may help reduce risk and intensity –Ocular effects –Anemia –Renal dysfunction –Osteonecrosis of the jaw
34
Bone Health and Skeletal Complications in Multiple Myeloma clinicaloptions.com/oncology Bisphosphonates: Antibone Resorption Potency vs Renal Dysfunction Bisphosphonates infrequently associated with renal dysfunction –Occurs with all bisphosphonates –Related to backbone of bisphosphonates, not the R 2 side chain that produces the antibone resorptive potency O- O=P O- C P=O O- Bisphosphonate R1R1 R2R2
35
Bone Health and Skeletal Complications in Multiple Myeloma clinicaloptions.com/oncology Renal Function: The Use of Bisphosphonates Changes in kidney function are related to C max –ie, the highest level of BP is in the blood –As a result, rate of infusion is the key factor in prevention of kidney problems –Rates faster than 0.3-0.7 mg/min are associated with problems Importantly, rate of infusion has no impact prevention of skeletal complications –Efficacy related to AUC (how much remains in patient) Zoledronic acid and pamidronate affect different parts of the kidney –Zoledronic acid: tubular –Pamidronate: glomerular Reduce the risk of renal dysfunction –Monitor serum creatinine prior to each infusion –Make sure patient is hydrated at time of treatment
36
Bone Health and Skeletal Complications in Multiple Myeloma clinicaloptions.com/oncology Kidney Function and the Use of Bisphosphonates Since kidney deleterious effects occur at similar rates of infusion (mg/min) among different BPs, more potent BPs such as zoledronic acid (4 mg) can be given safely much more rapidly (over 15 mins) than weaker BPs such as pamidronate (90 mg) (≥ 2 hrs) Small changes in dose (as recommended for zoledronic acid based on creatinine clearance) make little sense when infusion time is the factor that determines renal risk

38
Bone Health and Skeletal Complications in Multiple Myeloma clinicaloptions.com/oncology Use of BPs for Pts With Renal Dysfunction If serum creatinine < 3 mg/dL, no change to dose, infusion time, or schedule is required Use among patients with worse function minimally assessed –Pamidronate [1] –Zoledronic acid (ongoing studies) However, if on dialysis (irreversibly), may use either zoledronic acid or pamidronate at same dose, infusion time, and interval If renal dysfunction reverses with anticancer therapy, IV BPs may be initiated If myeloma patients have poor renal function at diagnosis, do not have hypercalcemia or severe bone disease, wait until renal function improves with antimyeloma therapy, then initiate monthly IV BPs If hypercalcemia, use zoledronic acid even with renal dysfunction 1.

43
Bone Health and Skeletal Complications in Multiple Myeloma clinicaloptions.com/oncology Minimizing the Risk of ONJ Excellent oral hygiene is the best prophylaxis Limit EtOH and tobacco use Patients who are starting IV BPs should have a dental assessment first –Dental procedures (extensive) should be done before starting IV BPs if possible Avoid dental procedures once start IV BPs
44
Bone Health and Skeletal Complications in Multiple Myeloma clinicaloptions.com/oncology Managing ONJ Make a diagnosis –Get someone to evaluate who knows the entity Assess its severity –It takes on a wide spectrum! Maintain excellent dental hygiene and regular exams Keep surgical intervention to a minimum There is no standard treatment –Antibacterial and antifungal rinses (chlorhexidine gluconate and nystatin) –Systemic oral antibacterial, antiviral, and antifungal treatments Hyperbaric oxygen has not proven useful No evidence that discontinuing IV BPs is necessary or changes the course of ONJ
45
Bone Health and Skeletal Complications in Multiple Myeloma clinicaloptions.com/oncology IV BPs for MM Patients: Effects of Changes in Schedule on ONJ and Skeletal Risk No evidence that discontinuing IV BPs changes the risk of ONJ –In fact, risk of ONJ may be not related to number of doses but to time from first dose –Whether pt receives 5 or 50 doses, pt may be at the same risk after 50 mos Less frequent dosing (every 3 mos) schedules not yet evaluated for –Safety or efficacy –Only every 3- to 4-wk dosing shown to be effective in reducing skeletal complications –Bone resorption marker data show enhanced bone loss occurs 4 wks after dose of IV BP –Changing the risk of ONJ
