As part of your normal medical care, your doctors will take a bone marrow sample. A small piece of this bone marrow sample will be used for the MMprofiler test. 

If you agree to participate in this study no additional examinations, blood tests, or x-rays will be performed above and beyond your regular medical care.

Your doctor will be asked to complete a questionnaire about his/her treatment intention for you before he or she receives the MMprofiler result and after he or she receives the MMprofiler result.

The results of MMprofiler and the questionnaires will be stored in a database with additional medical information about you and your multiple myeloma. This includes, but is not limited to, your age, race/ethnicity, other diagnostic tests, your treatment and the response to your treatment.  No personal information will be stored in the database, but there will be a code that links your identity to your data. Data will be collected at five (5) different time points:

• Before the doctor receives the MMprofiler results
• After the doctor receives the MMprofiler results
• One (1) year after the MMprofiler test was done
• Three (3) years after the MMprofiler test was done
• Five (5) years after the MMprofiler test was done

Taking part in this study may or may not make your health better. However, the knowledge gained from this research may benefit future patients with multiple myeloma.
