Scientists decode myeloma DNA to personalize future treatments
NCT ID NCT06338150
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Aug 18, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study will analyze the genetic makeup of tumors from 100 people with relapsed multiple myeloma. Researchers will use advanced DNA and RNA sequencing to find genetic changes and understand how the cancer works. The goal is to gather information that could guide more personalized treatment choices in the future. Participants will provide blood, cheek swab, and tumor samples during routine care.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could help doctors better understand the genetic makeup of multiple myeloma and point toward more personalized treatment options.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early-stage observational study, not a treatment trial. It is not designed to test whether any specific therapy works, so results may not directly benefit participants.

Who can take part
This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.
Who is studied
This study is open to interested patients with Multiple Myeloma (MM) of all genders and races from inside or outside Mount Sinai that will be undergoing tumor sampling (bone marrow or tissue) as part of their evaluation for salvage therapy. The research team will accept participants with a diagnosis of MM who self-refer, or are referred by their treating physician, who will be undergoing tumor biopsy (bone marrow or tissue) with the intention of receiving salvage systemic therapy for their MM. Interested individuals can contact the research team and learn more about the study. Potential participants would speak to one of the study staff over the phone, will be provided with further details about the study, pre-screened for eligibility, and set up to undergo informed consent.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * Patients must be 18 years of age at the time of registration. * Participant must have an established diagnosis of relapsed Multiple Myeloma based on IMWG criteria, be willing to participate, and able to consent * Participant must have a treating physician who agrees to participate in the study * Participant will be undergoing a bone marrow biopsy or tumor biopsy as part of their standard of care. * Patients must be willing to participate in this study and able to sign informed consent. * Participants are not participating in any interventional clinical trial using systemic therapy directed towards control of MM. Exclusion Criteria * Known diagnosis of AL amyloidosis, Waldenstrom Macroglobulinemia, POEMS, or Castleman´s disease. * Diagnosis of cancer other than myeloma or skin cancer (squamous cell or basal cell) that is ongoing or treated within the last 2 years. * Tumor sample inadequate or unavailable for analysis (e.g., due to insufficient number of tumor cells). * Patient will not be receiving systemic MM-directed chemotherapy/immunotherapy in the following 2 months from the time tumor biopsy is performed.
