Pre Screening
Our expert nurses check clinical trials and contact you
If you are a patient that have been diagnosed with multiple myeloma and have not yet been treated or has unfortunately relapsed or not had success with one or more different treatments, clinical trials may be your preferred option!
Massive Bio has onboarded over 160,000 cancer patients to find their clinical trial
If you’ve battled Multiple Myeloma without success through multiple different treatments, we understand your journey. Our advanced AI system will match and suggest a range of potential new myeloma trials selected specifically for you. Our case managers, experts in oncology informatics, will evaluate your submission and reach out to you.
Exploring other choices is important when standard treatments don’t work for multiple myeloma cancer. We have a special opportunity for patients who are seeking for new options for multiple myeloma and have tried standard treatments or are newly diagnosed and have not begun treatment.
Our new system helps find clinical trials for multiple myeloma for free. Sign up for our AI matching system to receive a personalized multiple myeloma cancer options tailored to your needs. Here’s how it works:
Diagnosis: If you have been diagnosed with multiple myeloma, and have not yet received treatment, or if your current treatment has been unsuccessful or the disease has progressed despite treatments including therapies such as proteasome inhibitors, IMiDs, and anti-CD38 monoclonal antibodies. With our AI-based system we may have a clinical trial option for you.
Multiple myeloma (also known as plasma cell myeloma or blood cancer myeloma) is a type of blood cancer that develops in plasma cells, which are a form of white blood cell found in the bone marrow. These cancerous plasma cells proliferate without restrictions, producing abnormal proteins (monoclonal proteins) that can damage bones, kidneys, and other organs. The disease causes bone pain, anemia, kidney dysfunction, and increased risk to develop new infections.
Persistent Bone Pain: Myeloma cells cause osteoclasts to break down bone faster than it can be rebuilt, leading to weakened bones and pain, often in the back, ribs, or hips.
Frequent Infections: The proliferation of abnormal plasma cells impairs the immune system, reducing its ability to fight off infections.
Unexplained Fatigue: Anemia, caused by the replacement of normal bone marrow cells with myeloma cells, results in a reduced number of red blood cells, leading to fatigue.
Bone Fractures: Myeloma cells weaken the bones, making them more fragile and prone to fractures even with minor stress or injury.
Unexplained weight loss can happen when the body is focused on fighting cancer, which can also impact appetite and metabolism.
Frequent Nosebleeds and Bruising: Low platelet counts due to bone marrow infiltration by myeloma cells lead to easier bruising and bleeding, such as frequent nosebleeds.
Kidney Problems: The presence of abnormal proteins (monoclonal proteins) can damage the kidneys, resulting in symptoms like increased thirst, reduced urine output, and swelling in the legs.
For some clinical trials, enrolling requires that participants have symptomatic multiple myeloma to ensure the options’ effectiveness can be accurately evaluated.
Different staging systems exist to determine the Multiple Myeloma prognosis. The R-ISS system uses lab markers and genetic abnormalities to give a more accurate prognosis of Multiple Myeloma. It categorizes the disease into three stages:
Stage I: Indicators suggest a low disease burden (Low risk)
Stage II: Indicators suggest an moderate disease burden (Standard risk)
Stage III: Indicators suggest a high disease burden (High risk)
Accurate staging ensures clinical trials can target specific disease stages, optimizing option efficacy and safety for multiple myeloma patients.
Untreated Multiple Myeloma: Patients with diagnosed but not treated multiple myeloma. Many clinical trials specifically designed for newly diagnosed patients. These trials often explore the effectiveness of novel approaches and combinations to improve initial treatment outcomes and long-term prognosis.
Treated Multiple Myeloma: Patients who have already undergone treatment for multiple myeloma but may have experienced disease progression, relapse, or insufficient response to previous treatments. Multiple myeloma clinical trials for this group focus on new options for relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma.
Clinical trials for multiple myeloma are often focused on specific stages and types of the disease, including newly diagnosed, relapsed, and refractory cases. Understanding these definitions helps to clarify the focus of various clinical studies.
Newly Diagnosed Multiple Myeloma: Refers to patients who have been recently diagnosed with multiple myeloma and have not yet started any treatment. Newly diagnosed multiple myeloma trials often explore initial options and combinations to achieve the best possible outcomes from the outset.
Relapsed Multiple Myeloma: occurs when the disease returns after a period of remission following initial treatment. Relapsed Multiple Myeloma trials aim to find effective therapies to control the disease after it has re-emerged.
Refractory Multiple Myeloma: refers to multiple myeloma that does not respond to initial treatments or that progresses within 60 days after the last therapy. Refractory multiple myeloma trials for refractory myeloma focus on discovering new treatments that can overcome resistance and manage the disease more effectively.
Proteasome Inhibitors: These drugs target and inhibit the proteasomes in cancer cells, leading to the accumulation of damaged proteins and cell death.
Immunomodulatory Drugs (IMiDs): These medications enhance the immune system’s ability to detect and destroy myeloma cells, as well as inhibit their growth.
Monoclonal Antibodies: These are laboratory-made molecules that can bind to specific proteins on the surface of myeloma cells, marking them for destruction by the immune system. Ex. Anti CD38, aimed to a highly expressed protein on myeloma cells and directly induce cell death.
Chemotherapy: These drugs kill rapidly dividing cells, including myeloma cells, and are often used in combination with other treatments to enhance effectiveness.
Corticosteroids: These drugs help reduce inflammation and can directly kill myeloma cells, as well as enhance the effectiveness of other myeloma treatments.
Certain clinical trials specifically seek patients whose multiple myeloma has proven refractory to existing treatments, offering a chance to explore innovative therapies on Plasma Cell Myeloma Trials.
These cases can be a frustrating experience. However, with Massive Bio this could also mean a potential breakthrough in your treatment.
We pay close attention to your individual diagnosis. This includes specific factors like the type of multiple myeloma you have, your multiple myeloma symptoms, and your overall health. We believe that every detail of your condition is crucial in finding the most effective myeloma option for you.
Innovative Approach: Multiple myeloma can be challenging. Our innovative solution uses the latest medical breakthroughs to effectively combat your disease, prioritizing your well-being.
Personalized Match: We tailor plans to each patient’s unique needs, considering symptoms, prognosis, and medical history to ensure the best fit.
Personalized Guidance: Our clinical team supports you throughout your journey, providing guidance, answering questions, and offering information about options and clinical trials.
By enrolling in our matching program, you gain access to potentially life-changing innovative approach and take an active role in exploring new possibilities.
Cancer is an unfortunate reality that touches most of us at some point in our lives. If you or a loved one has cancer, you may have heard or read that clinical trials could offer access to innovative new options. But what exactly is a clinical trial? In this video, Dr. Arturo Loaiza-Bonilla, MD, explains how clinical trials work, what to expect if you enroll in one, and why a clinical trial can be an important option for many cancer patients.
