About this trial

This study examines the quality of life in patients with monoclonal gammopathy of unknown significance and smoldering multiple myeloma. Collecting quality of life information from patients may help doctors learn more about the most common symptoms and concerns patients with monoclonal gammopathy of unknown significance and smoldering multiple myeloma may have.

Eligibility criteria

Qualifiers

Serum monoclonal protein < 3 g/dL or urinary monoclonal protein < 500 mg per 24 hours and clonal bone marrow plasma cells < 10%

Absence of myeloma defining events or amyloidosis

OR Patients with smoldering multiple myeloma age >= 18 years old.

Disqualifiers

Evidence of myeloma defining events or biomarkers of malignancy due to underlying plasma cell proliferative disorder meeting at least one of the following

Hypercalcemia: serum calcium > 0.25 mmol/L (> 1 mg/dL) higher than the upper limit of normal or > 2.75 mmol/L (> 11 mg/dL)

Renal Insufficiency: creatinine clearance < 40 ml/min or serum creatinine > 2 mg/dL

Anemia: hemoglobin value < 10 g/dL or 2 g/dL < normal reference
