Brief Title: The China M-protein Screening Project in First-degree Relatives of Myeloma Patient - The CHAPERONE Study
Official Title: The China Monoclonal Gammopathy Screening Project in First-degree Relatives of Patients With Multiple Myeloma (CHAPERONE) --A Multicenter Observational Study
Study ID: NCT05965115
Brief Summary: The goal of the China Monoclonal Gammopathy Screening Project in First-degree Relatives of Patients With Multiple Myeloma (CHAPERONE) study is to assess the clinical significance of screening for monoclonal gammopathy (M-protein) in first-degree relatives of patients with multiple myeloma in China population, and establish a prospective cohort of individuals with monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS), a precursor conditions to multiple myeloma. We will study these patients as a means to identify risk factors for progression to symptomatic multiple myeloma.
Detailed Description: The CHAPERONE study aims to assess the clinical significance of screening for monoclonal gammopathy in first-degree relatives of patients with multiple myeloma in China. The main objectives it aims to answer are: * Main research objectives: To study the prevalence of MGUS, the time of disease progression, and its influencing factors in first-degree relatives of multiple myeloma patients in China. * Secondary study objective: To explore the clinical/genomic/epigenetic features, survival, and quality of life of MGUS patients in first-degree relatives of multiple myeloma patients in China. All participants will receive M-protein screening by serum electrophoresis. Individuals with detected M-protein will undergo further diagnostic tests, and patients with MGUS will be carefully assessed and followed up.
