Blood tests to predict multiple myeloma outcomes
Part of Blood & lymphatic, Cancer, Heart & circulation, Immune system & allergy clinical trials.
This study looks at simple blood test results from people newly diagnosed with multiple myeloma to see if those results can help predict how the disease may progress. It aims to find patterns in the blood that might guide future treatment decisions without any extra procedures or drugs.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must have been recently diagnosed with multiple myeloma and not yet started treatment for it.
- You can be any age, male or female.
- You must not have had any prior treatment for multiple myeloma.
- You must not have another active cancer or a different blood disorder.
- You must not have an active infection or chronic inflammatory condition that could affect blood test results.
- You must not be taking medications that significantly change blood counts or inflammation markers.

This study looks at whether a simple blood test can help track multiple myeloma. It will measure a protein called soluble BCMA that may indicate how active the disease is, potentially helping doctors monitor patients without frequent bone marrow tests.
This trial is studying a new blood test that measures circulating plasma cells (CPCs) to help predict how multiple myeloma may progress. It is for people newly diagnosed with multiple myeloma who have not yet started treatment.
This study is testing whether a blood test that measures a protein called BCMA can help doctors know if your multiple myeloma is getting worse. You may be able to join if your myeloma has come back or not responded to at least two prior treatments, and you have not taken the drug Ruxolitinib before.
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 studies myeloma (and closely related blood disorders) by using extra blood or bone marrow samples for lab research. It aims to help discover new ways to understand or treat myeloma.
This study uses a blood test to find early signs of myeloma in people at higher risk, such as those with a family history or African ancestry. It aims to predict who might develop myeloma before symptoms appear.
