Non-invasive MRD Assessment in Multiple Myeloma

Description

The purpose of this study is to investigate the sensitivity and accuracy of non-invasive MRD assessment using liquid biopsy (blood draw) and functional imaging (whole body MRI) in participants with new diagnosed and previously treated multiple myeloma. The long-term goal of this study is to investigate whether non-invasive methods for MRD assessment can replace bone marrow aspiration and biopsy in a substantial percentage of participants with multiple myeloma.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

For general information about clinical research, read Learn About Studies.

Eligibility Criteria

  • * Adults age ≥18 years
  • * Patients with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma
  • * Patients with previously treated multiple myeloma with a maximum of two prior lines of therapy
  • * Expected life expectancy of greater than one year and intention to start a new line of treatment
  • * Patients without cognitive capacity to give informed consent for participation
  • * Patients with contraindications to MRI, which include the following:
  • * Claustrophobia, which, at investigator's discretion, would prohibit patient from undergoing whole body diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (WB-DWI)
  • * Pacemaker
  • * Metallic implants, which would prohibit patient from undergoing MRI All subjects will be screened for any contraindication to MRI as per their guidelines at the time of patient enrollment.
  • * Patients must not receive granulocyte colony stimulating factor (G-CSF) or granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) injection within 1 week prior to WB-DWI.
  • * Patients must not have been initiated on treatment prior to baseline disease assessment by bone marrow aspiration/biopsy and/or WB-DWI Up to 160 mg of dexamethasone (or equivalent) and/or 1 dose of bortezomib (+/- Cyclophosphamide-Dexamethasone) is allowed prior to disease assessment by bone marrow aspiration and WB-DWI.
