Predicting progression of myeloma in high-risk individuals

Official title: Predicting Progression of Developing Myeloma in a High-Risk Screened Population and General Population

Run by Tel-Aviv Sourasky Medical Center · NCT05837884 · Data updated 2026-11-12

This study is testing ways to spot early signs of myeloma in people at high risk, like those with a family history, to see if starting treatment sooner can help them live longer.

Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Ideal candidates for this study are individuals aged 30 and older with a family history of plasma cell dyscrasias or those aged 18 and older with multiple relatives affected by these conditions.

Probably not a fit

Patients who have already been diagnosed with any form of cancer or plasma cell dyscrasia will not benefit from this study.

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This study aims to collect data and biospecimens from participants to investigate the early detection of monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS) and smoldering multiple myeloma (SMM) in a high-risk population. By characterizing genomic, epigenomic, and immune factors associated with disease progression, the research seeks to develop strategies that can intercept the progression of these conditions. The study will involve blood sampling and will focus on individuals with a family history of plasma cell dyscrasias. The overarching goal is to improve survival rates by initiating treatment before the onset of symptomatic disease.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to earlier interventions that significantly improve survival rates for individuals at high risk of developing multiple myeloma.

How similar studies have gone: While the approach of early detection and intervention in high-risk populations is gaining traction, this specific study's methodology is novel and has not been extensively tested in prior research.
