About this study

Official title: A Prospective, Longitudinal, Observational Study in Newly Diagnosed Multiple Myeloma (MM) Patients to Assess the Relationship Between Patient Outcomes, Treatment Regimens and Molecular Profiles

The primary objective of this observational study is to identify the molecular profiles and clinical characteristics that define subsets of myeloma patients during the course of the disease.

Read the detailed description

Understanding the molecular basis of cancer is a critical step toward devising the most effective treatment of the patient as an individual. The promise of molecular targeted therapeutics and personalized cancer care has been demonstrated in breast and lung cancer and chronic myeloid leukemia. However, similar examples of success in multiple myeloma have not been achieved despite extensive basic research as well as clinical advances. What is well understood is that myeloma is a heterogeneous disease with great genetic and epigenetic complexity.22, 23 Therefore, there remains a critical need to understand myeloma patient biology in the context of current patient care.24 The objective of this longitudinal study is to identify patient subgroups and phenotypes defined by molecular profiling and clinical features. These profiles will enable a better understanding of mechanisms of disease, drug response and patient relapse. Ultimately the study is intended to drive successful drug development and patient care in multiple myeloma.

Newly diagnosed Multiple MyelomaThis is a prospective observational study in patients with symptomatic multiple myeloma who have not yet initiated therapy for their disease.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Molecular profiles and clinical characteristics that define subsets of myeloma patients at initial diagnosis and at relapse of disease.

    Standard clinical and laboratory assessments. Genomic tests (DNA and RNA sequencing, etc.) on bone marrow aspirates obtained at baseline, suspected complete response, and relapse/progression.

    Measured: Baseline to 8 years.

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Response rates

    IMWG criteria: stringent complete response, complete response, very good partial response, partial response, no response.

    Measured: Up to one year after baseline.

  2. Survival rates

    Progression-free survival and overall survival

    Measured: Five to eight years after baseline

  3. Bone disease assessed radiographically

    Measured: Baseline and during five to eight years of follow-up

  4. Health-related quality of life

    EORTC QLQ-C30 and QLQ-MY20

    Measured: Baseline and during five to eight years of follow-up

  5. Resource utilization

    Hospitalizations and ER visits

    Measured: Baseline and during five to eight years of follow-up

  6. Severe adverse events

    Severe/CTCAE grade 3-4 adverse events (checklist)

    Measured: Five to eight years
