About this trial

The association between multiple myeloma (MM) and venous thromboembolism (VTE) is well known. Indeed, the incidence of VTE is increased in patients with newly diagnosed MM and in patients treated by immunomodulatory drugs in combination with glucocorticoids. Moreover, the clinical outcome of MM is supposed to be correlated to the risk of thrombosis. At the biological level, a number of hemostasis abnormalities participate in increasing VTE incidence. Yet, data on predictive biomarkers linked to VTE are limited.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Patient affiliated to a social security regimen or beneficiary of the same

Signed written informed consent form

Confirmed diagnosis of de novo multiple myeloma, non-previously treated and requiring treatment.

Disqualifiers

Pregnant women

Patient under guardianship or deprived of his liberty or any condition that may affect the patient's ability to understand and sign the informed consent

Refusing participation

Patient whose follow-up or life expectancy is less than 6 months.

Trial design

Design model

Single group

Treatments tested in this trial

  • Blood samples

    Other intervention

    Peripheral blood sampling will be performed at different time points of the study, for a total volume of 20-40 mL: * Sampling before MM treatment, * Sampling during MM treatment (at 3 months post-initiation if no autograft or before autograft), * Only for Patients treated with Apixaban or Eliquis®, 2 additional samplings during MM treatment for pharmacokinetics analysis.
