A Diagnostic Screening Trial Seeking AL Amyloidosis Very Early
Screening smoldering multiple myeloma (SMM) patients to determine their risk of progressing to other diseases is an important next step in SMM management. In this video, Dr. Comenzo explains the importance of screening SMM patients for their risk of developing AL amyloidosis, which is often misdiagnosed or overlooked. Tufts Medical Center is addressing this issue with our open clinical trial, “A Diagnostic Screening Trial Seeking AL Amyloidosis Very Early.” This trial is open to SMM patients with lambda light chain involvement in the United States. More information on this trial can be found at https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT02741999. This video was recorded on 4/19/2016 at Tufts Medical Center.
