An observational study of Myeloma, run by Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de Nīmes at 2 sites in France.

Terminated

Stopped early. The study ended before it was planned to and will not resume.

Trial summary

The investigators wish to determine which anatomic regions need to be explored in order to correctly diagnose myeloma: whether axial skeletal MRI alone is sufficient or whether it is necessary to perform a total skeletal MRI. Read more about this study

Study population: Patients with myeloma as diagnosed according to the International Myeloma Working Group criteria recruited in the service of clinical hematology in either the CHUs of Nîmes or Montpellier

Who may be able to join

  • The patient must have given their free and informed consent and signed the consent form
  • The patient must be a member or beneficiary of a health insurance plan
  • The patient is at least 18 years old
  • Patient has been diagnosed with multiple myeloma (> 10% medullary plasma cells + monoclonal protein) or symptomatic myeloma (myeloma + CRAB symptoms (hypercalcemia, renal failure, anemia, bone lesions), or indolent myeloma (myeloma with symptomatic criteria).

Who cannot join

  • The subject refuses to sign the consent
  • It is impossible to give the subject informed information
  • The patient is under safeguard of justice or state guardianship
  • The patient is pregnant or breast feeding
  • The patient has an absolute contra-indication for MRI (pace-maker, claustrophobic patient, metal heart valve)

What is being measured

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

  1. Identification of focal lesions ≥ 5mm by axial skeletal MRI of spine and pelvis versus whole-body MRI using diffusion sequences

    Fatty tissue replacement by tumoral tissue observed by hyposignal T1 and hypersignal T2 FS or short-TI Inversion Recovery ≥ 5mm

    Measured: Day 0

Secondary outcomes (7)
  1. Number of "punched out" lesions ≥ 5mm identified by whole-body MRI with diffusion sequences versus skeletal X-ray

    Measured: Day 0

  2. Agreement between identification of normal lesions ≥ 5mm by axial skeletal MRI of spine and pelvis versus whole-body MRI using diffusion sequences

    Measured: Day 0

  3. Agreement between identification of diffuse lesions ≥ 5mm by axial skeletal MRI of spine and pelvis versus whole-body MRI using diffusion sequences

    Measured: Day 0

  4. Agreement between identification of mixed lesions ≥ 5mm by axial skeletal MRI of spine and pelvis versus whole-body MRI using diffusion sequences

    Measured: Day 0

  5. Agreement between identification of salt and pepper lesions ≥ 5mm by axial skeletal MRI of spine and pelvis versus whole-body MRI using diffusion sequences

    Measured: Day 0

  6. Link between type of infiltration and spinal cord karyotype

    Yes/no presence of anomaly, and if yes, type of karyotype anomaly

    Measured: Day 0

  7. Inter-observer reproducibility for the first 20 patients for the detection of focal lesions ≥ 5mm by axial skeletal MRI of spine and pelvis

    Measured: Day 0

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Myeloma, run by Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de Nīmes at 2 sites in France.

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 4 inclusion and 5 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 9 Aug 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in France. 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 was stopped early (reason given: Departure of the project leader). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Identification of focal lesions ≥ 5mm by axial skeletal MRI of spine and pelvis versus whole-body MRI using diffusion sequences (time frame: Day 0). 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 9 Aug 2021.
