About this trial

No effective specific treatment is currently available for the management of Multiple Myeloma (MM) and Monoclonal Gammopathy of Undetermined Significance (MGUS). A better understanding of the pathophysiological mechanisms would make it possible to propose treatments specifically targeting the deregulated pathways.

Eligibility criteria

This trial accepts healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Major patients with multiple myeloma (MM) (defined by clonal proliferation of tumour plasma cells (>10%), presence of a monoclonal peak in serum or urine (excluding non-secretory myeloma) and organ involvement secondary to bone marrow invasion) or with MGUS (defined as bone marrow plasmacytosis of less than 10%, associated with a monoclonal protein of less than 30g/L and no clinical involvement).

Membership of a social security scheme

Adult having read and understood the information letter and signed the consent form

Disqualifiers

Person deprived of liberty by an administrative or judicial decision or person placed under court protection / sub-guardianship or guardianship

Trial population

100 patients with multiple myeloma (MM), 100 patients with monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS), 100 controls with plasma samples available

Time perspective

Prospective

Treatments tested in this trial

  • Evaluation of the presence and number of mutated alleles of the GBA/PSAP genes in patients with MM or MGUS

    Biological/Vaccine

    Estimation of the frequency of variants in the PSAP/GBA genes in patients with MM or MGUS, then comparison with a reference frequency from databases such as the Exome Aggregation Consortium, the Exome Sequencing Project, the 1000 Genomes Project and the dbSNP.

Treatment groups

300 Participants
are divided into 3 treatment groups
Group A: Multiple myeloma (MM) patient group1 intervention
Group B: Monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS) patient group1 intervention
Group C: Control group1 intervention

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Frequency of variants in the GBA/PSAP genes in patients with MM or MGUS

The main aim of the research is to determine the frequency of variants in the GBA/PSAP genes in patients with MM or MGUS.

Time frame
inclusion (one day)

Secondary outcomes

1

Plasma concentrations of LGL1 in patients with MM or MGUS

Compare the plasma concentration of LGL1 in MM and MGUS patients versus control individuals

Time frame
inclusion (one day)
2

Reactivity of monoclonal antibodies in MM and MGUS patients

Assess the % (proportion of patients with reactivity (% reactivity greater than 0) and those without (% reactivity equal to 0)) of reactivity of monoclonal antibodies from MM and MGUS patients to LGL1

Time frame
inclusion (one day)
