About this study

Official title: The MMRF CureCloud Multiple Myeloma Research Initiative

The MMRF CureCloud Research Initiative, a Direct-to-Patient Research effort aimed at enrolling 5,000 individuals from whom comprehensive molecular and immune analyses will be generated from blood specimens and the resulting data aggregated with the correlating clinical information. Blood will be collected from all participants after electronic online consenting via a mailed blood kit designed for a mobile phlebotomy appointment. Through the consenting process, participants will also be authorizing collection of their electronic medical records information.

Read the detailed description

More than ever, there is an urgent need for a deeper understanding of the clinical, molecular and immune parameters involved in multiple myeloma disease initiation, progression and response to treatment. Such rich information, collected at the population level, is crucial to generate the evidence needed to ultimately make Precision Medicine a reality for all multiple myeloma patients. To this end the Multiple Myeloma Research Foundation (MMRF) is launching the MMRF CureCloud Research Initiative, a Direct-to-Patient Research effort aimed at enrolling 5,000 individuals from whom comprehensive molecular and immune analyses will be generated from blood specimens and the resulting data aggregated with the correlating clinical information. Blood will be collected from all participants after electronic online consenting via a mailed blood kit designed for a mobile phlebotomy appointment. Through the consenting process, participants will also allow the MMRF to collect their electronic medical records information. An important deliverable of the MMRF CureCloud Research Initiative is a curated dataset of integrated genomic, immune and correlating clinical data that will be made available to support scientific investigations through the MMRF CureCloud, a cloud-based platform with tools and capabilities for the seamless aggregation, integration and analysis of large collections of myeloma datasets.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • liquid biopsyGenetic

    Participants will be asked to provide up to a maximum total 40 mL of blood for all of the required sample collection. Peripheral blood will be collected from patients who consent to the protocol. These samples will be obtained at a time scheduled by the participant with the phlebotomy service provider, and will be collected at the participant's home. Patient peripheral blood samples can be obtained at diagnosis or at any time in follow up.

What is being measured

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

  1. Collection and Analyses of Clinical Information and Peripheral Blood Samples

    Patients that have been diagnosed with active Multiple Myeloma will be asked to share their clinical information and blood samples to help scientists and researchers understand these conditions better. The study will use submitted blood samples to perform comprehensive research that will include, among others, genomic and immune characterization, as well as collect past and present medical records to combine and compare with the blood sample analysis.

    Measured: 5 years

Timeline

From the start of the study to its completion; the mark is today. Estimated dates are the sponsor’s plan.

  1. First posted5 Sep 2018
  2. Study start14 Jul 2020
  3. Primary completion29 Dec 2023
  4. Study completion31 Dec 2023

Why it stopped: The MMRF has learned of the limitations of using a blood sample to collect genomic data, compared to a bone marrow aspirate. We decided that our resources are best served in other areas at this time.

Individual data sharing
Undecided: Some data collected may be deposited into databases such as dbGAP and GDC. All identifiable information will be removed prior to submission so that the data cannot be linked to the participant in any way. The database of Genotypes and Phenotypes (dbGaP) and the he Genomic Data Commons (GDC) are databases developed by the National Cancer Institute (NCI) to archive and distribute the results of studies that have investigated the interaction of genotype and phenotype. Data submitted from this study to dbGAP and GDC will only be available through controlled access and restricted to cancer research studies. Any researcher requesting access to the data must formally apply and present a research study rationale for why they need access to the data. The data may also be submitted to other future database systems which will have similar access controls as dbGAP and GDC.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Multiple Myeloma, run by Multiple Myeloma Research Foundation at 4 sites in United States.

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 2 inclusion and 2 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 5 Jan 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 4 sites in United States. 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: The MMRF has learned of the limitations of using a blood sample to collect genomic data, compared to a bone marrow aspirate. We decided that our resources are best served in other areas at this time.). 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?

Collection and Analyses of Clinical Information and Peripheral Blood Samples (time frame: 5 years). 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 5 Jan 2024.
