We evaluated incidence, timing, and clinical risk factors in 4287 patients with newly diagnosed MM from the Myeloma-XI-trial; all received IMiD-based induction and 1412 were randomised to Lenalidomide (Len) maintenance. Associations with tumour and inherited genetics, the latter through a genome-wide association study (GWAS), were interrogated in subsets of 1800 patients each. ATE occurred in 92 patients (2.1%), predominantly as ischaemic stroke (>80%). At MM diagnosis, higher leucocyte count, lower serum albumin, and Len-based-induction in elderly were independent risk factors. Older age was the predominant determinant for maintenance-related ATE. Among tumour genetics, del(17p) (HR 3.5, P = 0.001) was strongly associated with ATE risk. Finally, GWAS identified a germline locus at 6q15 independently linked to ATE risk (OR 4.8, P = 3.9 × 10 −8 ). Functional annotation implicates vascular enhancer activity and regulation of MAP3K7 and BACH2 . Together, these findings demonstrate distinct temporal patterns of IMiD-associated ATE risk across treatment phases. In addition to clinical risk factors, inherited variation at 6q15 may contribute to individual susceptibility. These results are hypothesis-generating and require validation in independent cohorts but may ultimately inform individualised prevention strategies.","PeriodicalId":8989,"journal":{"name":"Blood Cancer Journal","volume":"10 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":12.8,"publicationDate":"2026-09-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149049077","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Although diagnostic delays in MM are well recognized, the healthcare utilization patterns that precede MM diagnosis are not well defined. This retrospective, 1:1 matched case-control study used US administrative claims data from 9466 patients to identify early signals of MM and evaluate whether such data could be used to predict individuals at risk of MM prior to their formal diagnosis. All diagnostic, procedural, prescription, and physician-visit claims were evaluated at 12, 9, and 6 months within the two years before diagnosis. Interpretable predictive models (LASSO and Random Forest) identified distinct encounter patterns associated with MM as early as 12-months before diagnosis. Predictive performance across all models increased as diagnosis approached, with the machine learning model reaching a peak area under the curve (AUC) of 0.826 at 6 months. Claims consistent with typical MM manifestations, including anemia-, musculoskeletal-, and M-protein–related testing, were more common prior to MM diagnosis. These findings suggest that routinely collected claims data could support earlier identification and evaluation of individuals at risk of MM, enabling more timely diagnosis and improved outcomes.","PeriodicalId":8989,"journal":{"name":"Blood Cancer Journal","volume":"13 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":12.8,"publicationDate":"2026-09-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149010460","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
