No data are available on salvage HDCT/ASCT following re-induction treatment with state-of-the-art triplet regimens. We retrospectively report on 44 patients receiving salvage HDCT/ASCT following re-induction with carfilzomib/lenalidomide/dexamethasone (KRd). All patients received frontline HDCT/ASCT with median time to progression (TTP1) of 2.9 (1.2-13.5) years, enabling paired comparison of frontline and salvage HDCT/ASCT. After re-induction and before salvage transplant, 25/44 patients $(57\%)$ attained ≥ very good partial response (VGPR), which increased to 34/44 $(77\%)$ at best response after salvage HDCT/ASCT. Median progression-free survival (PFS) was 23.3 months from salvage HDCT/ASCT. Patients with ≥ VGPR at the time of salvage HDCT/ASCT and those receiving maintenance treatment post salvage HDCT/ASCT had significantly superior PFS (hazard ratio (HR) 0.19, p = 0.001 and HR 0.20, p = 0.009). In patients achieving at least an equal depth of response before salvage HDCT/ASCT as before frontline HDCT/ASCT, PFS after salvage HDCT/ASCT was comparable to the frontline situation (p = 0.3). This is the first report of state-of-the-art triplet re-induction and salvage HDCT/ASCT for RRMM after frontline transplantation. Deep remissions achieved with KRd translate into prolonged PFS following salvage HDCT/ASCT and are enhanced by maintenance treatment.}, keywords = {lenalidomide maintenance (Other) / multiple myeloma (Other) / salvage autologous stem cell transplantation (Other) / salvage high-dose chemotherapy (Other)}, cin = {C060 / A360}, ddc = {610}, cid = {I:(DE-He78)C060-20160331 / I:(DE-He78)A360-20160331}, pnm = {311 - Zellbiologie und Tumorbiologie (POF4-311)}, pid = {G:(DE-HGF)POF4-311}, typ = {PUB:(DE-HGF)16}, pubmed = {pmid:34572934}, pmc = {pmc:PMC8472377}, doi = {10.3390/cancers13184706}, url = {https://inrepo02.dkfz.de/record/176949}, }
