Massive biobank launches to unlock myeloma mysteries
NCT ID NCT06237803
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study collects and stores blood and tissue samples from 6,000 people with multiple myeloma and related conditions like smoldering myeloma and MGUS. The goal is to create a shared resource for researchers worldwide to study these diseases and improve patient care. Participants provide samples and basic health information, but no experimental treatments are given.
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 biobank could provide a valuable resource for future research into better treatments and understanding of myeloma and related diseases.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. It does not test any new therapy, so there is no direct benefit to participants. The samples are for future research, which may or may not lead to medical advances.
This is an AI summary of the original study and may miss details. Read our disclaimer.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * Subjects with MGUS, smouldering Multiple Myeloma (SMM) , MM (Multiple Myeloma) (+/- EMD), plasma cell leukemia (PCL) (+/- EMD) * Subjects are ≥ 18 years old. * Subjects have provided written informed consent in accordance with federal, local, and institutional guidelines prior to initiation of any project-specific activities or procedures. 1. Subjects do not have kind of condition that, in the opinion of the Investigators, may compromise the ability of the subjects to give written informed consent and 2. subjects are, in the investigator's opinion, willing and able to comply with the protocol requirements. Exclusion Criteria: * Previous treatment with anti-myeloma therapy (excluding one course of therapy in patients in which urgent therapy is deemed necessary according to physician's discretion, e.g. myeloma-related complications resistant to supportive care). * Subjects have had prior unforeseen (serious) adverse reactions to blood donation including, but not limited to fainting, angina, severe bruising, allergic reactions, or any other adverse events. * Any psychological, familial, sociological and geographical condition potentially hampering compliance with the protocol and follow-up schedule.
