Using MRI to find bone lesions in multiple myeloma
Part of Blood & lymphatic, Cancer, Heart & circulation, Immune system & allergy clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have multiple myeloma that has just been found, or your disease came back after strong treatments like high-dose chemo or a stem cell transplant.
- Your doctor thinks you need an imaging test of your bones (like a PET/CT) to check the stage of your disease.
- You do not have any metal implants (like a pacemaker or certain metal clips) that are unsafe for MRI.
- You are not severely claustrophobic (afraid of tight spaces).
- You are not pregnant.

This study tests whether MRI scans can replace CT scans to map bone tumors and plan surgery. If successful, it may allow some patients to avoid CT radiation.
This study is testing a new MRI technique called BoneMRI that may show bones more clearly than standard MRI. If you already need both a CT and an MRI of your spine, your scans could be used to compare this new method with the regular ones.
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.
This study tests a new type of CT scan to see if it can give clearer pictures of myeloma bone disease than the usual scans. The goal is to improve how doctors check the extent of the disease at diagnosis.
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 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.
