Abstract

Mutations of members of the ras family are among the most common oncogene mutations found in multiple myeloma (MM). We have examined the mutational status of the N- and K-ras genes at codons 12, 13, and 61 in 160 newly diagnosed MM patients enrolled on the Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) phase III clinical trial E9486. The total incidence of ras mutations was found to be 39% of the samples analyzed. Five patients showed evidence of more than one mutation. We obtained 22 marrow samples from patients at the time of disease progression or relapse, for whom a ras mutation was identified at diagnosis. In all cases, the ras mutation of the disease progression sample was identical to that found at diagnosis. In contrast, three of 25 patients who did not show any ras mutation at diagnosis acquired a ras mutation at the time of disease progression. No significant association was observed between any ras mutation and stage of disease, beta 2-microglobulin levels, labelling index, or protein type. The mean tumor burden and median survival for patients with mutations of N-ras was indistinguishable from patients with no ras mutations. However, patients with K-ras mutations had a significantly higher mean bone marrow tumor burden at diagnosis than patients with no ras mutations (57% v 36%, P ‼ .02); and the median survival of patients with a K-ras mutation was significantly shorter (2.0 v 3.7 years, P ‼ .02). To determine if the status of ras mutations could affect treatment response, we examined patient survival on the three treatment arms of E9486. Although the presence of a ras mutation in the multidrug treatment, VBMCP alone, showed a marginal significance, neither the VBMCP, nor the addition of interferon-alpha showed statistically significant survival differences between mutant and wildtype ras status. Interestingly, there appeared to be a statistically significant difference in survival of patients treated with VBMCP and alternating high doses of cyclophosphamide + prednisone. Patients with ras mutations had a median survival of 2.1 years; patients with wild-type ras had a median survival of 4.0 years (P ‼ .01).

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
