Can tracking a precancerous condition slash myeloma diagnosis delays?
NCT ID NCT05539079
First seen Aug 05, 2026 · Last updated Aug 06, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study follows 2,000 people with monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS), a condition that can precede multiple myeloma, a rare blood cancer. The goal is to measure how often MGUS progresses to myeloma and to understand current monitoring practices. Participants will complete annual questionnaires for up to five years, and some will provide blood samples. The findings could lead to better screening and earlier diagnosis of myeloma.
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 study could improve early detection of myeloma by clarifying how MGUS progresses and how it should be monitored, potentially reducing diagnostic delays.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, so it won't test a treatment. Results depend on long-term follow-up and may not change clinical practice immediately.

Who is studied
Participants will be those with a diagnosis of Monoclonal gammopathy. Patients who are suitable for the study will be identified by the treating haemato-oncology clinician, the clinical nurse specialist, the myeloma service coordinators and at the local multidisciplinary team (MDT) meetings in the participating hospitals.
