N2 - Background: Real-world multiple myeloma (MM) data are scarce, with most data originating from clinical trials. The Myeloma and Related Diseases Registry (MRDR) is a prospective clinical-quality registry of newly diagnosed cases of plasma cell disorders established in 2012 and operating at 44 sites in Australia and New Zealand as of April 2020. Methods: We reviewed all patients enrolled onto the MRDR between June 2012 and April 2020. Baseline characteristics, treatment, and outcome data were reviewed for MM patients with comparisons made by chi-square tests (categorical variables) and rank sum tests (continuous variables). Kaplan-Meier analysis was used to estimate progression-free survival and overall survival (OS). Results: As of April 2020, a total of 2405 MM patients were enrolled (median age, 67 years, with 40% aged > 70 years). High-risk features were present in 13% to 31% of patients: fluorescence in-situ hybridization (FISH) ≥ 1 of t(4;14), t(14;16), or del(17p) 18%, International Staging System (ISS)-3 31%, and Revised ISS (R-ISS)-3 13%. Cytogenetic/FISH analyses were performed in 50% and 68% of patients, respectively, with an abnormal karyotype result in 34%. Bortezomib-containing therapy was the most common first-line therapy (79.3%, n = 1706). Patients not receiving bortezomib were older (median age, 76 vs 65 years, P < .001) with inferior performance status (Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status ≥ 2, 41% vs 18%, P < .001). Median progression-free survival and OS were 30.8 and 65.8 months, respectively. Younger patients had superior OS (76.3 vs 46.7 months, P < .001, < 70 and ≥ 70 years, respectively). R-ISS score was available in 50.7% (n = 1220) of patients, and higher R-ISS was associated with inferior OS (R-ISS-1 vs R-ISS-2 vs R-ISS-3: not reached vs 68.1 months vs 33.2 months, respectively, P < .001). Conclusion: Clinical registries provide a more complete picture of MM diagnosis and treatment, and highlight the challenges of adhering to best practices in a real-world context.
