Background: CTCs may be responsible for MM spreading and accordingly, their numbers in peripheral blood (PB) could be a potential surrogate marker for the rate of dissemination and overall tumor burden in bone marrow (BM). In such case, CTCs may be a powerful biomarker of malignant transformation and disease aggressiveness. Aim: To investigate the clinical significance of CTCs in patients with smoldering (SMM), newly diagnosed (NDMM) and relapsed/refractory MM (RRMM), and to compare the transcriptional profile of CTCs across the disease spectrum. Methods: Next-generation flow (NGF) cytometry was used to assess the percentage of CTCs in PB of 1,157 patients: 316 with SMM, 650 with NDMM and 191 with RRMM. In each disease setting, patients were sub-classified into three groups with undetectable, low and high percentage of CTCs. Cutoffs were defined using maximally selected rank statistics adjusted for time to progression (TTP) in SMM and progression free survival (PFS) in NDMM/RRMM. A subset of SMM patients (n=86) was enrolled in GEM-CESAR. Transplant eligible (n=374) and ineligible (n=276) NDMM, as well as RRMM patients, were homogenously treated according to the GEM2012MENOS65, GEM-CLARIDEX and GEM-KYCYDEX clinical trials, respectively. In 40 patients (2 SMM, 33 NDMM and 5 RRMM) paired CTCs and BM tumor cells were FACSorted and their transcriptional profile was analyzed using RNAseq. Differentially expressed genes were investigated using DESeq2. Results: CTCs were detected in 248/316 (78%), 597/650 (92%) and 170/192 (89%) of SMM, NDMM and RRMM patients. Median CTC frequencies were: 0.001% (0.05 CTCs/µL), 0.01% (0.64 CTCs/µL) and 0.005% (0.22 CTCs/µL), respectively. There were 79 genes differentially expressed between patient-matched CTCs and BM tumor cells (e.g., FLNA, EMP3, LGALS9, MUC1). These were functionally related with TNFα signaling and inflammatory response (enriched in CTCs), as well as to cell cycle and MYC targets (enriched in BM tumor cells). Interestingly, the enrichment of these signatures in CTCs and BM tumor cells was progressively more pronounced from SMM to NDMM and RRMM. Altogether, these data suggest that the CTC-based dissemination potential peaks at the stage of NDMM, which could be related to greater inflammation in BM and cell cycle arrest driving tumor cell egression into PB. There were significant associations between the percentage of CTCs and the 2/20/20 IMWG risk model in SMM, the ISS in NDMM, and high-risk cytogenetics in all three-disease settings. Untreated SMM patients (n=230) with high CTC levels (≥0.02%) showed ultra-high risk of transformation vs those with low and undetectable CTCs (median TTP of 11 months vs not reached [NR] in both; P < .0001). Notably, SMM patients with ≥0.02% CTCs enrolled in GEM-CESAR have not reached a median TTP; thus, early intervention abrogated the poor prognosis of high CTC levels. Transplant-eligible NDMM patients stratified by undetectable, low and high (≥0.2%) CTC levels showed median PFS of NR, 78 and 47 months, respectively (P < .0001). Significant risk stratification was further observed in transplant ineligible NDMM (median PFS: NR, 31 and 14 months, respectively, P = .002) and RRMM (median PFS: NR, 24 and 7 months, respectively, P = .004). In untreated SMM, multivariate analysis of TTP including CTCs, serum M-component (>2 g/dL), sFLC ratio (>20) and BM plasma cells (>20%) selected CTCs as an independent prognostic factor (hazard ratio [HR]: 1.61, P = .015) together with the M-component and sFLC ratio. In NDMM, multivariate analysis of PFS including CTCs, BM plasma cells counts by morphology and flow cytometry, ISS, LDH, cytogenetics and transplant eligibility showed that high CTC levels had independent prognostic value (HR: 1.43, P = .003). Only the achievement of undetectable measurable residual disease (MRD) abrogated the poor prognosis of high CTC levels. Conclusions: This is the largest study investigating the role of CTCs in smoldering and active MM. Our results show that tumor cells are continuously trafficking in PB, possibly through a dynamic mechanism of egression that peaks in NDMM. Evaluation of CTCs in PB outperformed quantification of BM tumor burden in SMM and NDMM, and showed prognostic value in all three-disease stages. Thus, CTC assessment should be part of the diagnostic workup of MM. Early intervention in high risk SMM and undetectable MRD in NDMM may abrogate dismal outcomes associated with high CTC levels.

Background: Previous studies showed that MRD- pts after transplant may have detectable monoclonal protein through IFx, creating confusion regarding their prognostication. That said, MRD assessment in these pts was not performed with next generation techniques nor or in later time points. Additional discordances have been identified between multiparameter flow cytometry (MFC) and NGS, which were confirmed in recent analyses comparing NGF vs NGS. Aim: To characterize discordances between flow cytometry vs NGS and IFx through the investigation of immature B cells sharing the same B-cell receptor immunoglobulin (BcR IG) with MM cells. Methods: Progression-free survival (PFS) according to negative vs positive IFx was analyzed in 219 MRD- pts by MFC after transplant, enrolled in the GEM2000 and GEM2005MENOS65 trials. The same comparison was performed in 205 MRD- pts by NGF after consolidation in the GEM2012MENOS65 trial. MRD detection by NGS was compared to MFC or NGF in 140 and 104 cases, respectively. We performed NGS of BcR IG gene rearrangements (mean: 69,975 sequences) and WES (mean depth: 145x) in a total of 68 B cell samples isolated from the bone marrow (BM) of 7 MM MRD- pts by NGF after treatment (GEM2012MENOS65). These were intentionally selected to avoid contamination from MM plasma cells (PCs) during sorting of CD34 progenitors, B cell precursors, mature B cells and normal PCs. We investigated these populations for the presence of clonotypic BcR IG and somatic mutations detected in MM PCs sorted at diagnosis, using T cells as germline control. In another 10 untreated MM pts, we performed scRNA/BcRseq of total BM B cells and PCs (n=52,735), to investigate if the clonotypic BcR IG of MM PCs was detectable in other B cell stages defined by their molecular phenotype. Results: Among 219 MRD- pts by 4 color MFC after transplant, 76 (35%) showed positive IFx and identical PFS to those with negative IFx (medians of 63 vs 66 months, p=0.96). Similarly, 23/205 (11%) MRD- pts by NGF after consolidation showed positive IFx and identical PFS to those with negative IFx (4y rates of 87% vs 78.5%, p=0.35). Thus, albeit the higher sensitivity of NGF and the later time point (consolidation), approximately 1/10 MRD- pts by NGF continued showing positive IFx, and their outcome was as favorable as that of MRD- cases in CR. We then investigated discordances between flow cytometry and NGS. Among 35 MRD- pts by 4 color MFC, 21 (60%) were MRD+ by NGS, whereas 8/44 (18%) MRD- cases by NGF were MRD+ by NGS; only one of the latter 8 pts relapsed so far. Noteworthy, 9/29 MRD- pts by MFC or NGF showed MRD levels ≥10-4 by NGS, suggesting that other factors beyond sensitivity were accounting for the discordances between MRD assessed by MFC/NGF (in the PC compartment) vs NGS (in whole BM samples). NGS of BcR IG gene rearrangements in sorted BM cells from MRD- pts by NGF, uncovered the presence of MM clonotypes in normal PCs (4/7 pts) and in B cells (5/7 pts) at low frequencies (mean of 0.31% in both, range: 0.003% - 9.4%). These findings were confirmed by scRNA/BCRseq, which unveiled in 10/10 pts that clonotypic cells were confined mostly but not entirely within PC clusters. We next performed WES to investigate if genetic abnormalities present in MM PCs at diagnosis were detectable in the same BM cells sorted after treatment in MRD- pts. Surprisingly, 41/201 (20%) somatic mutations present in diagnostic MM PCs were detectable in CD34 progenitors (n=6/7), B-cell precursors (n=4/7), mature B cells (n=5/7) and phenotypically normal PCs (n=4/7). All somatic mutations shared by MM PCs and sorted BM normal cells were non-recurrent, and genes recurrently mutated in MM (ATM, DIS3, KRAS, LTB, MAX,) as well as copy number alterations (CNA) found in MM PCs, were undetectable in normal cells. Conclusions: Albeit more-sensitive NGF, 11% of MRD- pts continue showing positive IFx. This should not be regarded as a false-negative result, since these pts have similar outcome to those in CR and MRD-. Our findings also suggest that, at least in some pts, discordances between NGF and NGS could be attributed to immature clonotypic cells. However, these lack most somatic mutations and CNA found in MM PCs, and therefore cannot drive disease relapse. This would explain the favorable outcome of MRD- pts by NGF despite positive NGS. From a pathogenic standpoint, our study proposes that a mutated and clonally expanded lymphopoiesis precedes secondary driver mutations or CNA leading to the expansion of MM PCs.

In MM patients relapsing after MRD-negativity, the disease could reemerge from immature cells or from undetectable MRD. However, it remains unknown if immature cells have the same genetic background as MM plasma cells (PCs), as well as the amount of MRD that persists below the limit of detection (LOD) of next-generation techniques. To obtain further insight, we compared the biological landscape of MM PCs at diagnosis to that of CD34 progenitors, B cells and normal PCs isolated from patients with negative MRD by next-generation flow (NGF) after treatment. We performed whole-exome sequencing (WES, mean depth: 90x) with the 10XGenomics Exome Solution for low DNA-input as well as deep NGS of B-cell receptor immunoglobulin (BcR IG) gene rearrangements (mean, 69,975 sequences), in a total of 68 cell-samples isolated from the bone marrow (BM) of 7 MM patients with MRD-negativity by EuroFlow NGF after induction with VRD and auto-transplant (GEM2012MENOS65 trial). Patients with negative MRD were intentionally selected to avoid contamination with MM PCs during sorting of CD34 progenitors, B-cell precursors, mature B cells and normal PCs after induction and transplant. We investigated in these populations the presence of somatic mutations and clonotypic BcR Ig rearrangements detectable in MM PCs sorted at diagnosis, using peripheral blood T cells as germline control. We also performed WES in matched diagnostic MM PCs and MRD cells persisting after VRD induction in 14 cases as control. In another 6 patients with untreated MM, we performed single-cell RNA and BcR IG sequencing (scRNA/BcRIGseq) of total BM B cells and PCs (n=16,380) to investigate before treatment, if the clonotypic BcR IG sequence of MM PCs was detectable in other B cell stages defined by their molecular phenotype. We used multidimensional flow cytometry (MFC) to investigate the frequency of B cell clonality in BM samples from a larger series of 195 newly-diagnosed MM patients, prospectively enrolled in the GEM-CLARIDEX trial. Somatic mutations present in diagnostic MM PCs were detectable in the lymphopoiesis of 5/7 patients achieving MRD-negativity after treatment. In one case, out of 55 mutations present in diagnostic MM PCs, a single mutation in PCSK1N (VAF: 0.30) was detectable in normal PCs. In the other four patients, a total of 85 mutations were present in MM PCs and up to 10 (median VAF, 0.16) were found all the way from CD34 progenitors into B-cell precursors, mature B cells and normal PCs, but not in T cells. Of note, most mutations were reproducibly detected in each cell type after induction and after transplant. All somatic mutations shared by MM PCs and normal cells were non-recurrent, and genes recurrently mutated in MM (eg. ACTG1, ATM, DIS3, FAM46C, KRAS, LTB, MAX, TRAF3) were found in MM PCs but never in normal cells. Copy number alterations (CNA) were found only in MM PCs. By contrast, up to 513/827 (62%) mutations and 48/67 (72%) CNA were detectable in matched diagnostic MM PCs and persistent MRD cells, indicating that the few somatic variants present in normal cells were unlikely related to contaminating MRD below NGF's LOD. Accordingly, MM clonotypic BcR IG rearrangements were detectable in normal PCs (4/7patients) and in immature B cells (5/7 patients) but at much lower frequencies (mean of 0.02% in both). Of note, 9 additional clonotypes (mean 8.4%) were found in MM PCs of 5/7 patients (range, 1-3). scRNR/BcRIGseq unveiled that clonotypic cells were confined mostly but not entirely within PC clusters, and that in 1 patient another clonotype was detectable in mature B cells. Accordingly, using MFC we found in a larger series that 25/195 (13%) of newly-diagnosed MM patients display B-cell clonality (median of 0.7% BM clonal B cells, range 0.02%-6.3%). In conclusion, we show for the first time that MM patients bear somatic mutations in CD34 progenitors that specifically differentiate into the B cell lineage, likely before the disease onset. Because diagnostic, MRD (and relapse) MM PCs display great genetic similarity, these results suggest that undetectable MRD Disclosures Puig: Celgene: Consultancy, Honoraria, Membership on an entity's Board of Directors or advisory committees, Research Funding, Speakers Bureau; Takeda, Amgen: Consultancy, Honoraria; The Binding Site: Honoraria; Janssen: Consultancy, Honoraria, Research Funding.
