Abstract

The clinical outcome of non-transplant eligible patients with newly diagnosed Multiple Myeloma (NDMM) is heterogeneous, largely depending on frailty level. Clinical scores such as the International Myeloma Working Group frailty index (IMWG-FI) classify patients in categories ‘fit’, ‘intermediate-fit’ or ‘frail’. As disease and treatment burden can change over time, frailty can improve but also deteriorate during treatment. However, data are scarce and the effects on clinical outcome are largely unknown. To address this, we prospectively investigated the dynamics of frailty scores and impact on clinical outcome of non-transplant eligible patients with NDMM (NTE-NDMM) included in the HOVON 143 study.
