Achilles tendon rupture is a well‐documented adverse effect of Fluoroquinolones; however, herein we present a case of complete iliopsoas and Achilles, and partial semimembranosus tendon rupture secondary to Levofloxacin.
e20039 Background: Two drug regimens comprising proteasome inhibitors, immunomodulatory agents, or a monoclonal antibody are the standard of care for multiple myeloma. However, due to the increased relapse incidence, multiple different combination therapies are under study to treat relapsed and refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM). Methods: A comprehensive data search was done across various data sets, including PubMed, Cochrane, and Embase, using MeSH terms and keywords to include all phase III clinical trials involving three-drug regimens in the last five years. Results: We report eleven clinical trials evaluating three-drug combination regimens vs. two-drug regimens for RRMM. In 2015 Stewart et al. reported ORR of 87.1% vs. 66.7% in 396 patients treated with Carflizomib (K), Lenalidomide (R), and dexamethasone (d) compared to 396 patients treated with Rd alone. Lonial et al. reported ORR of 79% vs 66% for Eltozumab + Rd (n321) vs Rd (n=325). In 2016 San-Miguel et al. treated 387 patients with bortezomib, panobinostat + d, and 381 patients with bortezomib + d, with ORR of 40.3% vs. 35.8%. Shah J et al. compared Pembrolizumab, pomalidomide + d (n=125) to pomalidomide + d (n=124) with ORR of 34% vs 40% respectively. In 2018, Elotuzumab, pomalidomide (P) + d (n=60) vs. Pd (n=57) combination studied by Dimopoulos et al. resulted in an ORR of 53% vs. 26%. In 2019 Schjesvold et al. compared isatuximab, Pd (n=154), with Pd (n=153) with an ORR of 60% and 35%, respectively. Most recently, in 2020, Kumar et al. reported ORR of 82% with venetoclax, bortezomib (V) +d (n=194) compared to ORR of 68% with Vd (n=97). Mateos et al. reported ORR of 85% with VDd (n=251), vs 63% with Vd (n=247). Bahlis et al. reported ORR of 92.9% in 268, and Suzuki et al. reported ORR of 90.2% in 52 patients treated with DRd vs. ORR of 76.4% in 283 and ORR of 72.1% in 44 patients treated with Rd alone. In another trial, Dimopoulos et al. resulted in an ORR of 53% with KDd (n=312) compared to 75% with Kd (n=154). A summary of adverse effects is listed in table. Conclusions: Three drug regimen showed better results compared to two-drug regimens with a similar safety profile. A longer follow-up of these trials is needed to confirm this.[Table: see text]
Cisplatin is a well-known chemotherapeutic agent that can be associated with hyponatremia. It is known to be associated with a multitude of renal disorders including acute kidney injury with reduced glomerular filtration, Fanconi syndrome, and renal tubular acidosis, nephrogenic diabetes insipidus and renal salt wasting syndrome. We report a case of an elderly male presenting with significant recurrent hyponatremia, and prerenal azotemia. With recent exposure to cisplatin along with significant hypovolemia and urinary loss of sodium, he was diagnosed to have cisplatin induced renal salt wasting syndrome.
