CT scan method to better assess multiple myeloma
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
This study tests a special CT scan approach (using different X-ray energies) to improve how doctors measure and assess multiple myeloma. It may help ensure imaging results are clearer and more accurate for people with suspected or newly diagnosed myeloma.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are an adult with suspected or newly diagnosed multiple myeloma.
- You have not started any treatment for multiple myeloma yet.
- You do not have another cancer elsewhere at the same time (no other concurrent cancer).
- You can safely have CT scans and MRI scans (no scan-related contraindications).
- Your kidney function is good enough: eGFR is over 40 (needed to use IV contrast dye for certain imaging).

This trial compares two whole-body imaging scans (full-body MRI using DWI and a PET/CT scan) to see which does a better job detecting and staging active multiple myeloma. If you have been newly diagnosed or are being evaluated for suspected symptomatic myeloma, joining could help doctors learn which test is best for planning your care.
This study tests a new way to make MRI scans look like CT scans to find bone damage from multiple myeloma. You may join if you have just been diagnosed or if your disease came back after strong treatments, and you need bone imaging for staging.
This study uses MRI scans to check the body for signs of multiple myeloma after a stem cell transplant and before maintenance therapy. It aims to see if MRI can help predict how well the treatment works.
This study uses advanced imaging (PET-CT scans) to help doctors better see multiple myeloma in patients who are about to receive CAR T-cell therapy. The goal is to improve how doctors detect and monitor the cancer using a newer type of scan.
This trial compares two types of PET/CT scans to see which one better finds lesions (areas of disease) in people with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma. If you qualify, you may help doctors choose the most useful scan to guide care.
This study uses a special imaging test called a PET scan to learn more about multiple myeloma and how it responds to treatment. The results may help doctors better predict outcomes and tailor care for people with newly diagnosed disease.
