A "Physician & Patient-powered" Cohort Registry (MY MYELOMA)

Study Purpose

The aim of this observational study is the creation of a national multiple myeloma registry to monitor the current routine clinical practice in Italy and describe the standard of care adopted for the diagnosis and treatment of patients with multiple myeloma in the different Italian hematology centers.

Recruitment Criteria

Accepts Healthy Volunteers Healthy volunteers are participants who do not have a disease or condition, or related conditions or symptoms	No
Study Type An interventional clinical study is where participants are assigned to receive one or more interventions (or no intervention) so that researchers can evaluate the effects of the interventions on biomedical or health-related outcomes. An observational clinical study is where participants identified as belonging to study groups are assessed for biomedical or health outcomes. Searching Both is inclusive of interventional and observational studies.	Observational [Patient Registry]
Eligible Ages	18 Years and Over
Gender	All

Trial Details

Trial ID: This trial id was obtained from ClinicalTrials.gov, a service of the U.S. National Institutes of Health, providing information on publicly and privately supported clinical studies of human participants with locations in all 50 States and in 196 countries.	NCT05001087
Phase Phase 1: Studies that emphasize safety and how the drug is metabolized and excreted in humans. Phase 2: Studies that gather preliminary data on effectiveness (whether the drug works in people who have a certain disease or condition) and additional safety data. Phase 3: Studies that gather more information about safety and effectiveness by studying different populations and different dosages and by using the drug in combination with other drugs. Phase 4: Studies occurring after FDA has approved a drug for marketing, efficacy, or optimal use.

Additional Details

In Italy, myeloma accounts for 1.3% of all tumour diagnoses in males and for 1.2% of all tumour diagnoses in women. The incidence is 9.5 new cases per 100,000 males and 8.1 cases per 100,000 females. Median age at diagnosis is 68 years and approximately 2% of patients experience onset before the age of 4011. Therefore is to establish a national disease registry to monitor current routine clinical practice in Italy and to describe the standard of care adopted for the diagnosis and treatment of patients with myeloma. National registries have already been established in some countries and a recently-published meta-analysis highlighted certain differences in treatment, survival and the demographic characteristics of patients. An Italian national registry is important for analysing the current situation, in order to deal with the changes that lie ahead. In addition to the standard epidemiological registry

- as described in the statistical methods section - a patientpowered registry (PPR) will also be established to encourage patient participation.

Arms & Interventions

Arms

: Patients registry

Non-interventional, multicentre, retrospective and prospective registry. In order to increase the sample size and the validity of the Registry, patients who were diagnosed with myeloma since 1st January 2019 will also be included retrospectively, once their informed consent has been obtained by the enrolling centre. Being a registry, patients will be enrolled consecutively according to their appointments at the centre, at the discretion of their doctor and only once the patient has signed the informed consent form. Also patients participating in interventional or other observational studies can be enrolled. In case of patients enrolled in interventional trials, only baseline and survival data can be collected for the period in with the patient is in interventional trial. The data will be collected using an electronic data capture (EDC) platform. Hospital visits are planned every 6 months.
