Myelosuppression Associated With Novel Therapies in Patients With Multiple Myeloma: Consensus Statement of the IMF Nurse Leadership Board

Abstract: Novel therapies for multiple myeloma include the immunomodulatory drugs lenalidomide and thalidomide and the proteasome inhibitor bortezomib, which have increased response rates and survival times. However, the agents can cause myelosuppression, which, if not managed effectively, can be life threatening and interfere with optimal therapy and quality of life. The International Myeloma Foundation's Nurse Leadership Board developed a consensus statement that includes toxicity grading, strategies for monitoring an… Show more

“…When combined with other therapeutic anticancer agents, BTZ could achieve even better clinical efficacy, thus leading to a full US FDA approval in 2005 as a second-line MM therapy [187,188], and as a first-line therapy for patients with newly diagnosed MM after only three years [189].Unfortunately, the therapeutic window of BTZ is relatively narrow and toxic side effects gradually started to appear, ranging from peripheral neuropathy, myelosuppression and cardiotoxicity. This is probably due to the accumulation of misfolded proteins in normal tissues [190][191][192]. Additionally, there is a relatively high incidence of developing an acquired resistance during treatment with BTZ.…”

“…Given the nature of MM and the agents used in its treatment, haematological toxicities are common complications (Zuckerman, 1998;Armoiry et al, 2008;Lonial et al, 2008;Miceli et al, 2008;Chen et al, 2009); melphalan is associated with myelosuppression http://emc.medicines.org.uk/medicine/4429/SPC/ Alkeran+Injection+50+mg., accessed December 2010), and bortezomib has been associated with transient, cyclical thrombocytopenia and neutropenia (Lonial et al, 2005(Lonial et al, , 2008. Therefore, haematological toxicities, including thrombocytopenia, neutropenia, anaemia, leucopenia and lymphopenia were frequent in the VISTA trial.…”

“…Although prophylaxis against Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia and fungal infections is accepted practice, antiviral prophylaxis is controversial (Zitella et al, 2006). Recommendations in the context of neutropenia are discussed in the Nurse Leadership Board's consensus statement on myelosuppression (Miceli et al, 2008).…”
