The China M-protein Screening Project in First-degree Relatives of Myeloma Patient - The CHAPERONE Study
The China Monoclonal Gammopathy Screening Project in First-degree Relatives of Patients With Multiple Myeloma (CHAPERONE) --A Multicenter Observational Study
About This Trial
The goal of the China Monoclonal Gammopathy Screening Project in First-degree Relatives of Patients With Multiple Myeloma (CHAPERONE) study is to assess the clinical significance of screening for monoclonal gammopathy (M-protein) in first-degree relatives of patients with multiple myeloma in China population, and establish a prospective cohort of individuals with monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS), a precursor conditions to multiple myeloma. We will study these patients as a means to identify risk factors for progression to symptomatic multiple myeloma.
