We conducted this trial with curative intention using a treatment approach employed for newly diagnosed patients with MM.Patients with high-risk smoldering myeloma (>50% progression risk at 2 years) and transplant candidates were included and received induction therapy with carfilzomib, lenalidomide, and dexamethasone (KRd), six cycles, followed by high-dose melphalan (200 mg/m2) autologous stem-cell transplantation (HDM-ASCT), two KRd consolidation cycles, and Rd maintenance for 2 years. The primary end point was undetectable measurable residual disease (uMRD) rate by next-generation flow after ASCT. Sustained uMRD 4 years after ASCT was the secondary end point.Between June 2015 and June 2017, 90 patients were included, and 31% met at least one SixtyLightchain MRI (SLiM)-hypercalcemia, renal impairment, anemia, bone disease (CRAB) criterion. After a median follow-up of 70.1 months, 3 months after ASCT, in the intention-to-treat population, 56 (62%) of 90 patients had uMRD, and 4 years later, it was sustained in 29 patients (31%). Five patients progressed to MM, and the 70-month progression rate was 94% (95% CI, 84 to 89). The presence of any SLiM CRAB criteria predicted progression to MM (four of the five patients; hazard ratio, 0.12; 95% CI, 0.14 to 1.13; P = .03). Thirty-six patients showed biochemical progression, and failure to achieve uMRD at the end of treatment predicted it. The 70-month overall survival was 92% (95% CI, 82 to 89). Neutropenia and infections were the most frequent adverse events during treatment, resulting in one treatment-related death. Three second primary malignancies have been reported.Although a longer follow-up is needed, this curative approach is encouraging and more effective than active MM, with 31% of the patients maintaining the uMRD 4 years after HDM-ASCT.
