MMprofiler for Multiple Myeloma
(PROMMIS Trial)
What You Need to Know Before You Apply
What is the purpose of this trial?
This trial aims to evaluate how a tool called MMprofiler can assist doctors in selecting treatments for multiple myeloma, a type of blood cancer. Researchers will use a specific test on bone marrow samples to collect information that may guide treatment choices. The trial is best suited for individuals who may have multiple myeloma and plan to begin treatment soon. As an unphased trial, it offers patients the chance to contribute to important research that could enhance future treatment decisions.
Do I need to stop my current medications for the trial?
The trial information does not specify whether you need to stop taking your current medications.
What prior data suggests that the MMprofiler is safe for use in Multiple Myeloma patients?
Research has shown that MMprofiler SKY92 helps doctors select optimal treatment plans for individuals with multiple myeloma, a type of blood cancer. As it is not a medicine or therapy, it does not carry the same safety concerns as treatments administered into the body.
The test analyzes a sample from a bone marrow biopsy to examine the genes in cancer cells. This analysis helps determine whether a person is at high or standard risk for disease progression. Since MMprofiler SKY92 only processes data from a biopsy, it poses no direct safety risks beyond the usual risks associated with a bone marrow biopsy.
Overall, MMprofiler SKY92 is well-tolerated because it serves as a diagnostic tool, not a treatment with side effects.12345Why are researchers excited about this trial?
Researchers are excited about MMprofiler for multiple myeloma because it offers a new way to predict the disease's progression using the SKY92 gene signature. Unlike current treatments that focus on direct cancer attack or slowing its growth, MMprofiler analyzes bone marrow samples to provide a personalized prognosis. This innovative approach could help doctors tailor treatments more effectively, potentially leading to better outcomes and more precise care for patients.
What evidence suggests that the MMprofiler is effective for Multiple Myeloma?
Research has shown that the MMprofiler SKY92, studied in this trial, is a valuable tool for understanding multiple myeloma, a type of blood cancer. Studies have found that this test can predict key outcomes such as progression-free survival, which measures how long a patient lives without the cancer worsening, and overall survival, which measures total lifespan. The SKY92 gene signature identifies patients at high risk of cancer recurrence and shorter lifespan, making it a helpful tool for doctors to make informed treatment decisions. The MMprofiler provides a clearer picture of a patient's outlook, aiding doctors in tailoring treatments more effectively.13678

Are You a Good Fit for This Trial?
This trial is for individuals who may have multiple myeloma based on IMWG criteria and are candidates for systemic treatment. Participants must be able to perform daily activities with relative ease (ECOG Performance Status ≤ 3). They cannot join if their tumor samples fail quality assessments for the MMprofiler test.Inclusion Criteria
