The role of maintenance therapy following autologous stem cell transplantation in newly diagnosed multiple myeloma : Considerations on behalf of the Chronic Malignancies Working Party of the EBMT

Recent treatment advancements in multiple myeloma have led to significant improvements in patient outcomes. Maintenance therapy following autologous haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (AHCT) is now standard of care and has been demonstrated to prolong and deepen treatment responses. Currently, lenalidomide remains the single agent that has been approved for maintenance post-AHCT in Europe and the USA which, if tolerated, is continued until disease progression. The treatment landscape is rapidly expanding however, and the optimal personalised maintenance approach for a patient is becoming more complex. Treatment outcomes for patients with high-risk disease remain poor and choice of maintenance in this population also remains unclear. This review article evaluates up-to-date literature regarding established maintenance approaches. It further analyses ongoing studies exploring maintenance regimens using combination and novel agents, approaches to maintenance in patients with cytogenetic high-risk disease and minimal residual disease response-adapted strategies that reflect the current evolving treatment paradigm.
