Clinical and Genomic Predictors of Progression to Myeloma in Patients With Asymptomatic Monoclonal Gammopathies

          The goal of this study is to find markers that may help to predict why some patients who have monoclonal gammopathy of unknown significance (MGUS) or smoldering multiple myeloma (SMM) that have no signs or symptoms of disease (asymptomatic) develop multiple myeloma, while others do not. Studying markers such as age, level of proteins in blood, percent of abnormal blood cells in the bone marrow, genes in the abnormal blood cells, and bone abnormalities may help researchers to validate clinical and genomic predictors for future use in clinical practice.
        

Est. Enrollment: 200 participants

info
The number of participants in a clinical study. The "estimated" enrollment is the target number of participants the researchers need for the study.

Study Start Date: Dec 14, 2015

info
These are the dates the researchers think the study will start and end.

Study Completion Date: Dec 15, 2022

info
The "estimated" study completion date is the date the researchers think the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention/treatment. This is also the expected date that the study will be completed

Age: 18+ years

Gender: All

  • Radiotherapy is not permitted
  • Prior treatment with chemotherapy or investigational agents for asymptomatic gammopathies is not permitted
  • Plasma cell leukemia
  • Uncontrolled intercurrent illness including but not limited to active infection or psychiatric illness/social situations that would compromise compliance with study requirements
