Vertebral Fat Quantitative MRI as a Marker of Bone Fragility in Multiple Myeloma (MYELOMEFRAGIQUANTI)

Conditions
Multiple Myeloma
Vertebral Fracture
Interventions
Other: Bone marrow fat quantification by MRI
Registration Number
NCT04609150
Lead Sponsor
Assistance Publique - Hôpitaux de Paris
Brief Summary

Multiple myeloma is a disease that causes increased bone fragility which is often revealed or complicated by vertebral fractures. Invasion of bone marrow by tumor plasma cells leads to bone destruction and reduced fat fraction. The main objective is to assess the correlation between vertebral bone marrow fat fraction and bone fragility represented by a severity score of vertebral fractures. The secondary objective is to assess the correlation with clinical and biological prognostic factors and scores..

Detailed Description

Patients treated with vertebroplasty will be included during the period of the study, retrospectively or prospectively.

Mains collected data are represented by :

* Bone marrow fat fraction determined by MRI

* Severity score for vertebral fractures

* Clinical prognostic factors

* Biological prognostic factors

* Clinico-biological scores Descriptive statistics and correlation analyses will be performed between the measured parameters.

Multiple myeloma patients with vertebral fracturesBone marrow fat quantification by MRIPatients followed for multiple myeloma in the Lariboisière/Saint-Louis/Fernand-Widal hospital group, with vertebral fractures treated by vertebroplasty from January 2017 to December 2021, with recent clinical and biological data available at the time of imaging and fracture events
Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Vertebral fracture severity scoreAt the moment of the diagnosis of the vertebral fracture before treatment by vertebroplasty

Score established according to morphological criteria determined by MRI/computerized tomography scan, based on the Genant classification. Calculation of sum of the points awarded as follows: vertebral fracture on osteolytic lesion = 3; osteolytic lesion with high fracture risk = 0; other fracture related to increased bone fragility, scale 1-3 according to Genant's criteria, 3 representing the worst situation; normal vertebra = 0.

Percentage of bone marrow fat in vertebral bone marrowAt the moment of the diagnosis of the vertebral fracture before treatment by vertebroplasty

Measured from Dixon sequences on MRI exams performed in routine care, for the assessment of the relationship between bone marrow vertebral fat content and the severity of the vertebral fractures

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Salmon-Durie Plus classificationAt the moment of the diagnosis of the vertebral fracture before treatment by vertebroplasty

Based of the MRI pattern of multiple myeloma that determine three stages : stage I (0-4 focal lesions), stage II (5-20 focal lesions), stage III (\>20 focal lesions). The subclassification depends on the absence (A) or the absence of extramedullary disease (B) (anemia, hypercalcemia, renal failure, amyloidosis)

Weight/body mass index (BMI)At the moment of the diagnosis of the vertebral fracture before treatment by vertebroplasty

The Body Mass Index is calculated as the ratio between the weight measured in kilograms and the square of the height measured in meters

SexAt the moment of the diagnosis of the vertebral fracture before treatment by vertebroplasty

Male or female

Age at the diagnosis of multiple myelomaAt the moment of the diagnosis of the vertebral fracture before treatment by vertebroplasty

Age in years at the diagnosis of multiple myeloma

Serum rate of the monoclonal componentAt the moment of the diagnosis of the vertebral fracture before treatment by vertebroplasty

Serum rate of the monoclonal immunoglobulin protein in g/L

Presence of hypercalcemiaAt the moment of the diagnosis of the vertebral fracture before treatment by vertebroplasty

Defined by serum calcium \> 2.75mmol/L

Presence of amyloidosisAt the moment of the diagnosis of the vertebral fracture before treatment by vertebroplasty

Presence of amyloid deposits revealed by tissue biopsy

Multiple myeloma stage according to the International Staging System (ISS)At the moment of the diagnosis of the vertebral fracture before treatment by vertebroplasty

To determine the International Staging System score (ISS) in three stages with stage I corresponding to serum beta-2-microglobulin \< 3.5 mg/L and serum albumin ≥ 35 g/L, stage III corresponding to beta-2-microglobulin ≥ 5.5 mg/L, and stage II when not stage I or III

Type of bone damage on CT scanAt the moment of the diagnosis of the vertebral fracture before treatment by vertebroplasty

Classified as normal, focal lesion, diffuse osteopenia, focal lesion with diffuse osteopenia

Age at the moment of the vertebral fractureAt the moment of the diagnosis of the vertebral fracture before treatment by vertebroplasty

Age in years at the moment of the vertebral fracture

Presence of anaemiaAt the moment of the diagnosis of the vertebral fracture before treatment by vertebroplasty

Defined by hemoglobin value \< 100g/L

Type of the monoclonal componentAt the moment of the diagnosis of the vertebral fracture before treatment by vertebroplasty

Corresponding the type of the heavy (IgG, IgA, IgD, IgE or IgM) and/or the light chain (κ or λ) of the monoclonal immunoglobulin protein

Medullary plasmacytosisAt the moment of the diagnosis of the vertebral fracture before treatment by vertebroplasty

Percentage of plasma cells assessed by bone marrow aspiration

Presence of renal failure related to myelomaAt the moment of the diagnosis of the vertebral fracture before treatment by vertebroplasty

Defined by a creatinine clearance \< 40mL/min or serum creatinine \> 177µmol/L

Multiple myeloma stage according to the Salmon-Durie staging SystemAt the moment of the diagnosis of the vertebral fracture before treatment by vertebroplasty

The Salmon-Durie classification in three stages according to the absence (I) or the presence (III) of the following criteria: anemia (hemoglobin value \< 100g/L); hypercalcemia (serum calcium \> 2.75mmol/L); amyloidosis (amyloid deposits revealed by biopsy); bone lesion at imaging. Concerning the serum rate of the monoclonal component, IgA \< 30g/L and IgG \< 50 g/L are considered stage I, and IgA \> 50g/L and IgG \> 70 g/L are considered stage III. The intermediate stage II is based on the rate of the blood monoclonal component (from 30 to 50 g/L for IgA and from 50 to 70 g/L for IgG) . The subclassification depends on the absence (A) or the presence of renal failure related to myeloma (B) (defined by creatinine clearance \< 40mL/min or serum creatinine \> 177µmol/L).

Serum rate of Lactate dehydrogenaseAt the moment of the diagnosis of the vertebral fracture before treatment by vertebroplasty

Measured in U/L; serum lactate dehydrogenase is a poor prognosis factor when elevated (\> 300U/L)

Vertebral radiodensityAt the moment of the diagnosis of the vertebral fracture before treatment by vertebroplasty

Measured by a CT scan in Hounsfield Units
