Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

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.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

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.

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

* Age ≥ 30 years
* AA race (self-identified) and/or first-degree relative of a patient with a plasma cell dyscrasia such as MGUS, SMM, MM, and Waldenström's Macroglobulinemia, or another blood cancer.
* Those over 18 are also eligible if they have 2 or more family members with a blood cancer

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.
