About this trial

The purpose of this study is to define the natural history of high-risk smoldering myeloma in a modern cohort of patients undergoing close standard of care follow-up with diffusion weighted whole body magnetic resonance imaging.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Adult subject aged ≥ 18 years.

Serum monoclonal protein (IgG or IgA) of 30g/L or greater per 24 hours or urinary monoclonal protein of 500mg or greater per 24 hours and/or

Clonal bone marrow plasma cells 10-59% with the absence of myeloma-defining events or amyloidosis

M-spike greater than 2 g/dL

Disqualifiers

Presence of any features that would meet diagnostic criteria for myeloma as per the IMWG Criteria

Presence of extramedullary plasmacytomas

Presence of any focal bone marrow lesions, or lytic bone lesions on imaging done prior to screening or on screening. However, presence of diffuse or patchy infiltration of the marrow (without any clear lesions) on MRI, will not be an exclusion criteria. Patients with 1 focal marrow lesion on MRI that is attributable to plasma cell dyscrasia, will be excluded from study, even if they do not meet criteria for myeloma. Patients with 1 focal marrow lesion can only be enrolled if the lesion does not appear to be related to myeloma, based on the judgement of the investigator. Use of restricted diffusion and ADC values can assist in ascertainment.

Creatinine clearance of less than 40ml/min.

Time perspective

Prospective

Treatments tested in this trial

  • Patients with smoldering myeloma undergoing active surveillance with diffusion weighted whole body MRI.

    Other intervention

    Patients with high-risk smoldering myeloma will be prospectively followed and chart review will be performed to determine if progression events happen, and how they happen. All patients on the study are recommended to undergo the following standard of care surveillance protocol: * Complete Blood Count (CBC), Complete Metabolic Panel (CMP), myeloma blood tests (serum kappa/lambda light chains, monoclonal protein evaluation, immunoglobulin levels), to be done monthly for first year, and then every two months for the second year. * WB DW-MRIs every 6 months during the study period. * 24-hour urine Immunofixation/electrophoresis is expected to be completed approximately every 6 months. * Bone marrow biopsy will be performed annually during the study time-period.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Incidence of morbid progression events attributable to a plasma cell dyscrasia at two years, with morbid events defined as: death, renal injury that does not reverse, fracture, lytic bone lesion, AL Amyloidosis or plasma cell leukemia.

Frequency and nature of progression events in a prospective cohort of patients with smoldering myeloma undergoing active surveillance with diffusion weighted whole body MRI

Time frame
2 years

Secondary outcomes

1

Change in the quality of life as measured by physical function domain on the PROMIS-29 (Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System), from baseline to the end of study at 24 months of follow-up.

Determine longitudinal Quality of Life as assessed by the PROMIS-29 instrument. The PROMIS-29 scales will be scored using a T-score metric method. A score of 50 points represents the population average for each scale, and 10 points represent one standard deviation. Higher scores means a higher level of physical function.

2 years
2

Change in the quality of life as measured by pain interference domain on the PROMIS-29 (Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System), from baseline to the end of study at 24 months of follow-up.

Determine longitudinal Quality of Life as assessed by the PROMIS-29 instrument. The PROMIS-29 scales will be scored using a T-score metric method. A score of 50 points represents the population average for each scale, and 10 points represent one standard deviation. Higher scores means a higher level of pain interference.

Time frame
2 years
3

Change in the quality of life as measured by anxiety domain on the PROMIS-29 (Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System), from baseline to the end of study at 24 months of follow-up.

Determine longitudinal Quality of Life as assessed by the PROMIS-29 instrument. The PROMIS-29 scales will be scored using a T-score metric method. A score of 50 points represents the population average for each scale, and 10 points represent one standard deviation. Higher scores means a higher level of anxiety.
