NCT ID NCT04370483

Summary

This small, early-stage study is testing whether leflunomide, an anti-inflammatory drug used for rheumatoid arthritis, can delay the progression of high-risk smoldering multiple myeloma to active, symptomatic cancer. Researchers are giving the drug daily to a small group of eligible patients to see if it can control the disease and improve quality of life. The main goal is to see if patients remain progression-free after six months of treatment.
