Mapping individual multiple myeloma biology to understand relapse and treatment resistance
Official title: MMAPPIN' Study: Multiple Myeloma Analysis For Patient-specific Insights to Dissect Disease Heterogeneity
Run by IRCCS Azienda Ospedaliero-Universitaria di Bologna · NCT07582354 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This project will test whether combining clinical records with whole-genome and RNA sequencing plus blood tumor markers in people with multiple myeloma can reveal features that explain relapse and treatment resistance.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Adults (18+) with a diagnosis of monoclonal gammopathy or active multiple myeloma (newly diagnosed, relapsed, or refractory) who can give informed consent and provide required samples are the ideal candidates.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients seeking an immediate change in their therapy or those unable to travel to the Bologna site or provide samples should not expect direct therapeutic benefit from participation.

What this trial studies
This is a single-center, observational effort enrolling adults with monoclonal gammopathy or active multiple myeloma, conducted retrospectively and prospectively. The study links detailed clinical data with advanced molecular analyses, including whole-genome sequencing, RNA sequencing, and circulating tumor markers. Samples and data will be securely stored and analyzed to identify biological and clinical factors tied to disease progression and therapy response. The aim is to build a comprehensive map of disease heterogeneity to inform more personalized treatment approaches in the future.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, the findings could help doctors tailor treatments and detect likely relapse or resistance earlier for future patients.
How similar studies have gone: Prior genomic and molecular profiling studies in multiple myeloma have identified meaningful subgroups and predictors of outcome, but comprehensive integrated whole-genome plus longitudinal circulating marker mapping remains an emerging approach.
