3 Clinical Trials for Various Conditions
This is a 4-month randomized trial of a prolonged nightly fasting intervention (PROFAST) in 40 overweight and obese individuals with monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS), smoldering multiple myeloma (SMM), and smoldering waldenstrom macroglobulinemia (SWM). The purpose of this study is to understand if fasting for a prolonged period of time during the nighttime hours is a strategy to prevent overweight and obese individuals from developing blood cancer. Participants will be randomized into the following two groups: * Group A: PROFAST intervention for 4 months * Group B: Healthy Lifestyle Control group for 4 months
RATIONALE: Collecting and storing samples of blood and bone marrow from patients with cancer to study in the laboratory may help doctors find better ways to ways to treat the cancer. PURPOSE: The purpose of this study is to collect and store blood and bone marrow samples from patients with multiple myeloma, smoldering myeloma, Waldenstrom's macroglobulinemia, amyloidosis, and monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance to be tested in the laboratory.
The goal of this study is to develop a vaccination registry system for Aurora Health Care patients newly diagnosed with MM and other B-Cell Hematologic Malignancies in order to prospectively characterize vaccination history and outcomes such as infection in these patients at Aurora Health Care. Additionally hospitalization rates, cost analysis, infection (influenza, pneumonia, other) related to vaccination in this patient population will be evaluated.
