First seen Mar 07, 2026 · Last updated May 16, 2026 · Updated 9 times

Summary

This study looks at whether multiple myeloma patients who have no signs of cancer after a stem cell transplant can safely stop their maintenance therapy. About 68 adults who have been on maintenance drugs for at least a year will be tested using advanced imaging and lab methods to see if the cancer is truly gone. If it is, they may stop treatment and be monitored to see if the cancer stays away.
