Study Summary

The PROMISE Study aims to establish a prospective cohort of individuals with precursor conditions to multiple myeloma, such as monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS) and smoldering multiple myeloma (SMM). We will study these patients as a means to identify risk factors for progression to symptomatic multiple myeloma.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Age ≥ 30 years

  • AA race (self-identified) and/or first-degree relative of a patient with a plasmacell dyscrasia such as MGUS, SMM, MM, and Waldenström's Macroglobulinemia, oranother blood cancer.

  • Those over 18 are also eligible if they have 2 or more family members with a bloodcancer

Exclusion

Exclusion Criteria:

  • • Persons diagnosed with cancer at any site (including hematologic cancers) with symptomatic disease requiring active therapy.

• Persons with an already diagnosed plasma cell dyscrasia such as MGUS, SMM, MM, and Waldenström's Macroglobulinemia

First-degree relatives would not need to be identified by the participant.

This study includes all special populations who fall within the eligible high-risk age range, ≥ 30 years of age, including adults unable to consent, pregnant women, and prisoners. These populations will not be excluded as this is a non-therapeutic study.

Study Description

The goal of the PROMISE research study is to determine clinical/genomic alterations present in individuals with MGUS and SMM, who are diagnosed through screening of a high-risk population. We also seek to determine clinical/genomic/epigenetic and immune environmental predictors of progression to multiple myeloma in patients with MGUS and SMM.
