Predicting Progression of Developing Myeloma in a High-Risk Screened Population (PROMISE)

Overview

About this study

The purpose of this study is 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.
