Myeloma Novel Drug Discovery Ver 1.2 (DISCO)

Investigation of the Activity of Novel Compounds for the Treatment of Myeloma and Mechanisms of Drug Resistance to Current Therapies

Myeloma is a bone marrow cancer with over 5000 patients diagnosed in the UK each year. Researchers are committed to improving understanding of myeloma and developing more effective treatments with fewer side effects in order to improve patient outcomes. In order to do this, researchers are collecting samples of blood and bone marrow to test the activity of potential new treatments in the laboratory and to understand what may be the cause of some treatments not working.

Study Population

Participants who have a diagnosis, or suspected diagnosis, of myeloma or related plasma cell disorder

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  1. Participants who have a diagnosis, or suspected diagnosis, of myeloma or related plasma cell disorder
  2. Participants who are undergoing a peripheral blood or bone marrow aspirate sampling for diagnostic, staging or follow-up purposes, before, whilst or after receiving anti-myeloma treatment
  3. Participants aged 18 years of age or above
  4. Participants willing to consent to an additional sample being taken at the time of their peripheral blood or bone marrow aspirate sampling

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Participants unable to provide consent
  2. Participants with known active infectious diseases (e.g. HIV, Hepatitis B/C, COVID) that pose a risk to the use of the sample in the laboratory
