About this study
The purpose of this study is to identify multiple myeloma in the precancerous MGUS stage in order to reduce the risk of delayed diagnosis of multiple myeloma, decrease morbidity related to multiple myeloma at progression, and improve long term outcomes.
Read the detailed description
The CHAAMP Internal Pilot is a pilot and feasibility study conducted to evaluate the feasibility of the trial methods before a full-scale screening effort is launched. High risk individuals 30 years of age or older residing in Charlotte or surrounding area will be screened for MGUS over one-year period with a target enrollment of 1665 participants. Individuals screening positive for monoclonal gammopathy will be provided a clinic referral for further diagnostic evaluation to confirm MGUS, SMM, or other PCD-related disorder, and will be given the opportunity to consent for the Longitudinal portion of the study. Participants diagnosed with MGUS and smoldering multiple myeloma will be prospectively followed for 10 years per protocol. Participants diagnosed with other plasma cell disorders will have their diagnosis and baseline data captured in the registry and followed for overall survival only.

Screening blood sample collection to test for MGUS
| Study group | Role | What they receive |

| Other Plasma Cell Disorders | Participants diagnosed with other plasma cell disorders Receives: Other: Blood draw for the laboratory assessment |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Number of Participants who were Enrolled
Determined for each potential participant approached to participate in this study (pre-screened), indicating whether or not the participant was enrolled (underwent blood draw to test for monoclonal gammopathy).
Measured: Baseline, for an accrual period of one year
Secondary outcomes (12)
Monoclonal Gammopathy at Screening
A categorical variable will be determined for each enrolled participant indicating whether or not the participant had monoclonal gammopathy identified on screening blood draw, or if the test results were indeterminate (options: monoclonal gammopathy, no monoclonal gammopathy, unknown/indeterminant test results).
Measured: From enrollment to availability of lab results, approximately 30 days
PCD Diagnosis at Screening
PCD diagnosis at screening will be determined as a nominal categorical variable indicating the participant's PCD diagnosis at screening. The categorical variable will include the following factor levels: monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS), smoldering multiple myeloma (SMM), multiple myeloma (MM), AL amyloidosis, other PCD/ lymphoproliferative disorder, monoclonal gammopathy with unknown diagnosis, or no monoclonal gammopathy. Reason for unknown diagnosis may be due to non-definitive results, no results due to lab error, sampling issues, or participant did not get complete diagnostic work up.
Measured: From enrollment to completion of diagnostic work up, approximately 90 days
PCD Diagnosis During Follow-Up
PCD diagnosis during follow-up will be determined as a categorical variable for each new PCD diagnosis indicating whether the participant had the type of PCD diagnosed over the course of the follow up period on the study. The types of new PCD diagnosis will include SMM, MM, AL amyloidosis, and other PCD diagnosis, per diagnostic criteria as defined in Appendix A. Date of each new PCD diagnosis will also be captured.
Measured: From enrollment to completion of follow up (10 years)
CRAB Criteria at MM Diagnosis
CRAB criteria at MM diagnosis are defined as a binary variable indicating whether the participant had CRAB criteria at the time of MM diagnosis. CRAB criteria include hypercalcemia, renal insufficiency, anemia, or bone lesions as defined per IMWG. This will be evaluated only in the subjects diagnosed with MM during longitudinal follow-up
Measured: From enrollment to completion of follow up (10 years)
Time to MM Diagnosis
Time to MM diagnosis is defined as the duration of time from MGUS diagnosis (or SMM diagnosis for participants diagnosed with SMM at screening) to diagnosis of MM per IMWG criteria. The date of MM diagnosis is the date of the first assessment that identified MM. If the participant died without a diagnosis of MM, time to MM diagnosis will be calculated at the date of death, with death as a competing risk event. For surviving subjects who do not have documented MM diagnosis, time to MM diagnosis will be censored at the date of the last documented disease evaluation that confirmed no MM diagnosis.
Measured: From enrollment to completion of follow up (10 years)
Number of Participants who Interacted with a Community Champion
Interaction with a community champion will be captured for each potential participant as a binary variable indicating whether or not the potential participant interacted with a study-associated community champion prior to enrollment or prior to declining participation. This will be captured via the "Interaction with Community Champion Survey".
Measured: Baseline
Impact of Interaction with a Community Champion
Community champion impact will be reported by each enrolled participant that interacted with a community champion. It will be captured as an ordered categorical variable (5-point Likert scale) indicating the level of impact that the community champion had on the participant's decision to participate in the study. This will be captured via the "Interaction with Community Champion Survey".
Measured: Baseline
Number of MGUS Participants who Participate in Longitudinal Portion of Study
For each participant that is determined to have MGUS at screening, a binary variable will be captured, indicating whether or not the participant consented to be followed longitudinally in the longitudinal portion of the study.
Measured: From enrollment to presentation of second (longitudinal) consent, approximately 90 days
Barriers to Screening Participation
For participants who are approached but do not verbally agree to participation in the study, verbal reason for declining study participation will be reported and captured via a "Barriers to Participation Survey" that includes multi-select discrete options as well as an "Other" reason with free text option.
Measured: Baseline
Barriers to Longitudinal Participation
For participants with monoclonal gammopathy identified during screening but who do not agree to participate in the longitudinal portion of the study, reason for declining longitudinal participation will be reported and captured via a "Barriers to Participation Survey" that includes multi-select discrete options as well as an "Other" with free text option.
Measured: From enrollment to presentation of second (longitudinal) consent, approximately 90 days
Psychological Counseling Referral
For each participant with monoclonal gammopathy identified during screening, a binary variable indicating whether a psychological counseling referral was accepted after learning of positive results.
Measured: From enrollment to completion of diagnostic work up, approximately 90 days.
Light Chain MGUS Diagnosis at Screening
Determined as a binary variable indicating whether the participant had light chain MGUS diagnosis at screening. Three definitions of light chain MGUS (with applicable reference ranges for FLC ratio, involved FLC) will be utilized to evaluate this endpoint: standard IMWG diagnostic criteria [with FLC ranges from Katzmann et al (2002)], iStop MM criteria incorporating age and renal function [Long et al (2025)], and Dana Farber Cancer Institute criteria incorporating race [Bertamini et al (2025)].
Measured: From enrollment to completion of diagnostic work up, approximately 90 days.
