Gut bacteria and immunity in people with an abnormal blood protein
Part of Blood & lymphatic, Cancer, Heart & circulation, Immune system & allergy, Infections clinical trials.
This study looks at how your gut bacteria (intestinal flora) and immune system relate to a condition called monoclonal gammopathy, where an abnormal protein is found in the blood. The trial will check samples from your blood, plasma, and stool to understand these connections.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 45 years or older.
- Your blood test showed no abnormal monoclonal protein (monoclonal gammaglobulin).
- You have no signs of infection (normal blood tests for infection).
- You have not taken antibiotics in the past month.
- You have no history of bowel tumors, irritable bowel syndrome, or inflammatory bowel disease.

This study compares the gut bacteria of healthy adults (age 45+) with those who have a blood condition called monoclonal gammopathy. The goal is to see if gut bacteria patterns differ between the two groups.
This study looks at stored blood (serum) samples to see whether a lab test called MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry can help analyze multiple myeloma proteins. If you have multiple myeloma (or are a healthy matched control), your existing lab samples may be used for testing.
This trial is screening people over 30 to find a protein in the blood called M protein, which can be a sign of certain blood conditions. If you have it, the study will follow you over time to learn more.
This trial tests if a medicine called IgPro20 can help prevent infections in people with multiple myeloma who have low antibody levels and are being treated with a bispecific antibody. If you have relapsed or refractory myeloma and have recently started a bispecific antibody, this study might help protect you from getting serious infections.
This study is collecting blood samples from people with plasma cell disorders to help researchers learn more about these conditions. It may be a good fit if you haven't started treatment yet and are willing to donate samples.
This study looks at genetic and other traits of tumor/blood cells in adults with specific blood conditions who have fevers with unclear cause plus symptoms like rash or joint pain. The goal is to better understand what drives these “hyperinflammatory” reactions and how to tell them apart from other illnesses.
