Multiple Myeloma Clinical Trial
Predicting Progression of Developing Myeloma in a High-Risk Screened Population (PROMISE)
Summary
The PROMISE Study aims to establish a prospective cohort of individuals with precursor conditions to multiple myeloma, such as monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS) and smoldering multiple myeloma (SMM). We will study these patients as a means to identify risk factors for progression to symptomatic multiple myeloma.
Full Description
The goal of the PROMISE research study is to determine clinical/genomic alterations present in individuals with MGUS and SMM, who are diagnosed though screening of a high-risk population. We also seek to determine clinical/genomic/epigenetic and immune environmental predictors of progression to multiple myeloma in patients with MGUS and SMM.
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
Age ≥ 30 years
AA race (self-identified) and/or first-degree relative of a patient with a plasma cell dyscrasia such as MGUS, SMM, MM, and Waldenström's Macroglobulinemia, or another blood cancer.
Those over 18 are also eligible if they have 2 or more family members with a blood cancer
Exclusion Criteria:
* • Persons diagnosed with cancer at any site (including hematologic cancers) with symptomatic disease requiring active therapy.
• Persons with an already diagnosed plasma cell dyscrasia such as MGUS, SMM, MM, and Waldenström's Macroglobulinemia
First-degree relatives would not need to be identified by the participant.
We will include all special populations who fall within the eligible high-risk age range, ≥ 30 years of age, including adults unable to consent, pregnant women, and prisoners. These populations will not be excluded as this is a non-therapeutic study.
