Why stopped (as posted): Insufficient pace of enrollment due to changes in MM SOC practices
Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
This study will collect bone marrow (BM) aspirate samples from patients with relapsed refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM) prior to the start of a new treatment regimen for the purposes of prospectively measuring single-cell mass accumulation rate (MAR) as a biomarker of patient response to that regimen. The primary study objective is to explore whether the single-cell MAR biomarker can predict patient response in RRMM patients. In order to enable this primary objective, two patient cohorts will be required. First, a small vanguard cohort of patients with treatment naïve disease to define drug concentrations used for testing, and second, the main RRMM patient cohort. Data will be collected to estimate the biomarker's predictive properties (accuracy, sensitivity, specificity), and to support improvement of the MAR biomarker through additional research and discovery within the study dataset.

- label
- Vanguard
- description
- (CLOSED TO ENROLLMENT) Bone marrow (BM) from this cohort of up to 30 treatment naïve subjects with a diagnosis of multiple myeloma (MM) will first be used to define sample processing pipeline performance and optimal drug dosages before sites on the study proceed to mass accumulation rate (MAR) testing of BM from the relapsed/refractory MM (RRMM) subject cohort.
- label
- Relapsed/Refractory MM
- description
- BM from this cohort of 100 relapsed subjects with a diagnosis of MM will be used to test the MAR assay's accuracy of condition by matching conditions tested in vitro to the patient's planned course of therapy. This is the main study cohort described in the Eligibility section.
