Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: MM patients enrolled in clinical trials that have been conducted over the past 5 years.

Who may be able to join

  • The bio-banked MM patient samples and clinical data will be obtained from previous European clinical trials that have been conducted over the past 5 years within the participating clinical centres and other clinical centers. The samples were not collected for the purposes of this project. The subjects from which the data was initially taken cannot be identified from the data/records. However, the patients from the above mentioned trial have explicitly consented for the use of their samples for other (future) clinical research purposes.

About this study

The consortium aims to commercialise the MMpredictor as a personalised medicine tool that predicts the most effective treatment strategy for individual Multiple Myeloma (MM) patients. MM is the second most common form of blood cancer contributing to 15% of all blood cancers and ~1,5% and 2% of all cancer deaths annually in the EU and US, respectively.

Patients show a large variability in treatment response and side effects due to tumour heterogeneity and the patient's intrinsic characteristics. Therefore, not every treatment will be suitable for each patient, and treatment strategies are often based on trial-and-error. The availability of multiple (>20) treatment options complicates treatment decision-making even more. With the current development of many more promising treatments, there is an urgent unmet clinical need for a diagnostic assay that supports personalised cancer treatment in order to improve patient health outcomes, prevent side effects and reduce healthcare costs.

SkylineDx has previously developed the MMprofiler, a microarray-based diagnostic test that can subtype MM patients and reliably predict MM patient survival (prognosis). In this project, the test's clinical value will be expanded to include the prediction of treatment effectiveness in individual patients based on Gene Expression Profiling. An addendum for new intended use will be filed to the current in vitro diagnostic (IVD) registration, while renaming the test to MMpredictor. The project will also focus on positioning the test as a cost-effective IVD test for personalised medicine, that will increase health outcome and quality of life of patients and reduce healthcare costs.

The consortium consists of a life science SME specialised in molecular diagnostics, clinical centres with world renowned KOLs, a leading health economic institute, and a European MM patient advocacy organisation combining all the required complementary expertise to successfully bring the MMpredictor to market.

What is being measured

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

  1. MMpredictor as a personalised medicine tool

    The main objective of the MMpredict project is to commercialise the MMpredictor as a personalised medicine tool that predicts the most effective treatment strategy for individual Multiple Myeloma (MM) patients.

    Measured: 1 year

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. - Genetic subtyping with the MMprofiler of 800 bio-banked MM patient samples

    Measured: 2 years

  2. - Clinical validation of genetic subtypes correlating with specific treatment effect

    Measured: 2 years

  3. - Establish a treatment decision matrix that will guide physicians in treatment decision-making

    Measured: 2 years

  4. - Perform a Medical Technology Assessment (MTA) to evaluate health economic benefits

    Measured: 2 years

  5. - File addendum to current CE-IVD registration, while also renaming the test to "MMpredictor"

    Measured: 2 years

  6. - Develop and execute commercialisation and marketing plan for the MMpredictor

    Measured: 2 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Multiple Myeloma, run by Mario Boccadoro at 1 site in Italy.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 29 Jun 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Italy. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

MMpredictor as a personalised medicine tool (time frame: 1 year). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 29 Jun 2023.
