Objective: In this study, we aimed to obtain real-life data on the use of antimyeloma agents, which significantly increase overall survival (OS) in multiple myeloma (MM) patients, in primary plasma cell leukemia (pPCL) patients with a poor prognosis.
Materials and Methods: Data from 53 patients who were diagnosed with pPCL between 2011–2020 and who used at least one proteasome inhibitor (PI) and/or immunomodulatory (IMID) agent were analyzed retrospectively. Depending on the year of pPCL diagnosis, 20% leukocytes or ≥2×109/L plasma cells in the peripheral blood were used.
Results: The median age of the patients was 58 years, and 23 (43.4%) patients were over 65 years of age. For first-line treatment, PI or IMID alone was used in 31 (58.5%) patients, and PI and IMID were used simultaneously in 15 (28.3%) patients. Additionally, 21 (39.6%) patients received transplantation, and 13 (24.5%) patients received maintenance treatment. The median progression-free survival was 4 (1–42) months. When patients whose primary disease was refractory to first-line therapy were excluded, the duration of treatment was 6.5 months. The median OS was 15 months, with a median follow-up of 15 months. Only 7 (13.2%) of the patients were alive at the last follow-up visit. Those with higher beta-2 microglobulin levels and ISS stage 3 and nontransplant patients receiving first-line treatment had shorter OS (p=0.005, p=0.02 and p=0.008, respectively). Otherwise, the concomitant use of PIs and IMIDs, the addition of chemotherapy to induction therapy, and the response to induction therapy or maintenance therapy did not affect OS.
Conclusion: In our study, as in previous similar studies, we could not see the increased survival trend in pPCL which is observed in MM. New studies are needed for pPCL patients, which is likely to increase with the new diagnostic criteria, based on current agents and information in MM.

Amaç: Bu çalışma ile multipl miyelom (MM) hastalarında genel sağkalımda (OS) anlamlı bir artış sağlayan antimiyeloma ajanlarının, prognozu daha kötü olan primer plazma hücreli lösemi (pPHL) hastalarında kullanımına ilişkin gerçek hayat verilerini ortaya koymak istedik.
Gereç ve Yöntem: 2011–2020 yılları arasında pPHL tanısı alan ve en az bir proteazom inhibitörü (PI) ve/veya immünomodülatör (IMID) ajan kullanan 53 hastanın verileri retrospektif olarak analiz edildi. Hastaların tanı yıllarından kaynaklı olarak, periferik kanda plazma hücresinin lökositlerin %20’sinden fazla veya ≥2×109/L olması pPHL tanı kriteri kabul edildi.
Bulgular: Hastaların ortanca yaşı 58 olup, 23 (%43,4) hasta 65 yaş üzerindeydi. İlk sıra tedavide 31 (%58,5) hastada PI veya IMID tek başına kullanılırken, 15 (%28,3) hastada PI ve IMID eş zamanlı kullanıldı. Ayrıca 21 (%39,6) hastaya nakil, 13 (%24,5) hastaya ise idame tedavisi uygulandı. Hastaların ortanca progresyonsuz sağkalım süresi 4 (1–42) aydı. İlk sıra tedaviye primer refrakter hastalar dışlandığında ise 6,5 aydı. Ortanca takip süresi 15 ay olan hastaların, ortanca OS süresi de 15 aydı. Son kontrolde hastaların sadece 7'si (%13,2) hayattaydı. Beta-2 mikroglobulin düzeyi yüksek, ISS skoru 3 olan ve birinci basamak tedavide nakil yapılmayan hastalarda OS daha kısaydı (sırasıyla, p=0.005, p=0.02 and p=0.008). Öte yandan indüksiyon tedavisinde PI ve IMID ajanlarının birlikte kullanılmasının, kemoterapi eklenmesinin, indüksiyon tedavisine yanıtın ve idame tedavisinin OS üzerine etkisi olmadığı görüldü.
Sonuç: Önceki benzer çalışmalarda olduğu gibi, çalışmamızda pPHL’de MM'de gözlenen artan sağkalım eğilimini göremedik. Yeni tanı kriteri ile birlikte artması olası pPHL hastaları için, MM’daki güncel ajanlar ve bilgiler dahilinde, yapılacak yeni çalışmalara ihtiyaç vardır.
