Summary

The PROMISE study is enrolling 30,000 people at high risk for multiple myeloma, including African Americans and those with a family history of blood cancers. Participants provide blood samples so researchers can track changes over time and identify who progresses to myeloma. The goal is to better understand risk factors and potentially catch the disease earlier.
