The purpose of this study is to define the natural history of high-risk smoldering myeloma in a modern cohort of patients undergoing close standard of care follow-up with diffusion weighted whole body magnetic resonance imaging.
Study Type
OBSERVATIONAL
Enrollment
100
Patients with high-risk smoldering myeloma will be prospectively followed and chart review will be performed to determine if progression events happen, and how they happen. All patients on the study are recommended to undergo the following standard of care surveillance protocol: * Complete Blood Count (CBC), Complete Metabolic Panel (CMP), myeloma blood tests (serum kappa/lambda light chains, monoclonal protein evaluation, immunoglobulin levels), to be done monthly for first year, and then every two months for the second year. * WB DW-MRIs every 6 months during the study period. * 24-hour urine Immunofixation/electrophoresis is expected to be completed approximately every 6 months. * Bone marrow biopsy will be performed annually during the study time-period.

Time frame: 2 years
Change in the quality of life as measured by physical function domain on the PROMIS-29 (Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System), from baseline to the end of study at 24 months of follow-up.
Determine longitudinal Quality of Life as assessed by the PROMIS-29 instrument. The PROMIS-29 scales will be scored using a T-score metric method. A score of 50 points represents the population average for each scale, and 10 points represent one standard deviation. Higher scores means a higher level of physical function.

Change in the quality of life as measured by pain interference domain on the PROMIS-29 (Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System), from baseline to the end of study at 24 months of follow-up.
Determine longitudinal Quality of Life as assessed by the PROMIS-29 instrument. The PROMIS-29 scales will be scored using a T-score metric method. A score of 50 points represents the population average for each scale, and 10 points represent one standard deviation. Higher scores means a higher level of pain interference.

Change in the quality of life as measured by anxiety domain on the PROMIS-29 (Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System), from baseline to the end of study at 24 months of follow-up.
Determine longitudinal Quality of Life as assessed by the PROMIS-29 instrument. The PROMIS-29 scales will be scored using a T-score metric method. A score of 50 points represents the population average for each scale, and 10 points represent one standard deviation. Higher scores means a higher level of anxiety.
