TMI-ASCT Trial Summary

This trial is testing a new way to give radiation to patients with cancer in the bone marrow, to see if it is more effective than the current method with less side effects.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for adults aged 18-60 with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma, who have measurable monoclonal gammopathy. They must have enough cryopreserved stem cells for transplantation and be in good enough health to undergo the procedure. Pregnant women, those with non-secretory myeloma or other plasma cell disorders, previous radiation treatments, severe concurrent illnesses, or a history of non-compliance are excluded.Check my eligibility

What is being tested?

The study tests if Total Marrow Irradiation (TMI) can deliver higher doses to bone marrow malignancies compared to traditional methods without increasing toxicity. It's a dose escalation study aiming to find the maximum tolerated dose of TMI before autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation in patients with multiple myeloma.See study design

What are the potential side effects?

Potential side effects may include increased risk of infection due to immune system suppression, damage to organs near treated areas from radiation exposure, fatigue from high-dose irradiation and possible complications related to stem cell transplantation.
