New study asks: can we stop myeloma meds if no cancer is found?
NCT ID NCT04108624
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether people with multiple myeloma who have no signs of cancer after a stem cell transplant and at least one year of maintenance therapy can safely stop taking their medication. Researchers will use advanced imaging and lab tests to detect even tiny amounts of cancer cells. The goal is to see if stopping treatment is safe and effective for those who are cancer-free by these sensitive tests.
