Blood clues: simple tests may forecast myeloma survival
NCT ID NCT06095752
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study examined whether three blood measurements—blood thickness (viscosity), the balance of two proteins (albumin/fibrinogen ratio), and red blood cell size variation (RDW)—can help predict how newly diagnosed multiple myeloma patients will fare over the next year. Researchers followed 48 newly diagnosed patients for one year to see if these initial blood test results were linked to survival. The goal was to find simple, non-invasive ways to estimate prognosis early.

Who is studied
based on study methodology , the studied population (who are the newly diagnosed cases ) will be followed up to one year after diagnosis to report outcomes . the researcher will recruit the newly diagnosed cases who seek care at internal medicine department, assiut university hospital in completed one year duration and then follow up the case for one year. After reviewing medical record , average flow rate of MM at internal medicine department is 2 cases per month , nearly 25 cases will be included in this study
