Patients with multiple myeloma (MM) seem to be at increased risk for more severe
COVID-19 infection and associated complications due to their immunocompromised
state, the older age and comorbidities. The European Myeloma Network has provided
an expert consensus statement in order to guide therapeutic decisions in the era
of the COVID-19 pandemic. Patient education for personal hygiene and social
distancing measures, along with treatment individualization, telemedicine and
continuous surveillance for early diagnosis of COVID-19 are essential. In
countries or local communities where COVID-19 infection is widely spread, MM
patients should have a PCR test of nasopharyngeal swab for SARS-CoV-2 before
hospital admission, starting a new treatment line, cell apheresis or ASCT in
order to avoid ward or community spread and infections. Oral agent-based regimens
should be considered, especially for the elderly and frail patients with standard
risk disease, whereas de-intensified regimens for dexamethasone, bortezomib,
carfilzomib and daratumumab should be used based on patient risk and response.
Treatment initiation should not be postponed for patients with end organ damage,
myeloma emergencies and aggressive relapses. Autologous (and especially
allogeneic) transplantation should be delayed and extended induction should be
administered, especially in standard risk patients and those with adequate MM
response to induction. Watchful waiting should be considered for standard risk
relapsed patients with low tumor burden, and slow biochemical relapses. The
conduction of clinical trials should continue with appropriate adaptations to the
current circumstances. Patients with MM and symptomatic COVID-19 disease should
interrupt anti-myeloma treatment until recovery. For patients with positive PCR
test for SARS-CoV-2, but with no symptoms for COVID-19, a 14-day quarantine
should be considered if myeloma-related events allow the delay of treatment. The
need for surveillance for drug interactions due to polypharmacy is highlighted.
The participation in international COVID-19 cancer registries is greatly
encouraged.
