Studying MGUS and Smoldering Myeloma Genetics and Using Immunotherapies in High-Risk Smoldering Myeloma with Dr. Elisabet Manasanch, MD Anderson Cancer Center

Studying MGUS and Smoldering Myeloma Genetics and Using Immunotherapies in High-Risk Smoldering Myeloma with Dr. Elisabet Manasanch, MD Anderson Cancer Center
Event Description
Elisabet Manasanch, MD MD Anderson Cancer Center Interview Date: April 26, 2017
MGUS and smoldering myeloma are precursor conditions to multiple myeloma. For those with the early markers, who will progress and who will not? Dr. Elisbet Manasanch at MD Anderson Cancer Center is using myeloma genetics testing to help determine answers to this important question. Dr. Manasanch describes a study she has open to test MGUS and smoldering myeloma patients using a test called the GEP-70, a gene expression profile test and observe the way that their disease potentially changes over time. The answers to this study will help myeloma specialists know how to segment patients into different groups and identify who may benefit from early treatment. She also describes a study open at MD Anderson for high-risk smoldering myeloma patients using a monoclonal antibody called Isatuximab.
