MRI scans may reveal hidden clues to myeloma relapse risk
NCT ID NCT07746232
First seen Aug 04, 2026 · Last updated Sep 10, 2026 · Updated 3 times
Summary
This study is looking at whether a special type of whole-body MRI can help predict how well people with multiple myeloma will do after a stem cell transplant. The MRI measures changes in bone marrow and fat content in the bones, which might indicate if the cancer is more likely to come back. By following patients over time, researchers hope to see if these imaging markers can identify those who need closer monitoring or different treatment.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Diffusion-weighted whole-body MRI (DW-MRI) and fat fraction measurement
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could establish MRI as a reliable tool to predict which myeloma patients are at higher risk of relapse after transplant, enabling more personalized follow-up and treatment.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, so it won't test a new treatment. The predictive value of the MRI measures is not yet proven, and results may not change current practice without further validation.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion criteria: * Newly diagnosed MM participants eligible for ASCT, treated with anti-CD38-based quadruplet induction therapy and ASCT, with post-ASCT/premaintenance DW-MRI available (in tandem ASCT, DW-MRI after second ASCT will be considered). * Age ≥18 years. * Participant must sign an informed consent form (ICF) that he or she understands the purpose of, and procedures required for the trial and is willing to participate in the trial. Exclusion Criteria: \- Absence of post-ASCT/pre-maintenance DW-MRI.
