Treatment Summary: | We will use matched BM plasma and purified clonal marrow PCs from the BM samples of SMM patients collected at the time of their diagnosis and stored within the Mayo Clinic Predolin Foundation Biobank. We will select BM samples from patients with SMM who progressed to MM within 2 years of their samples being collected and stored; this will constitute the high risk SMM group. We will also select BM samples from SMM patients who have not progressed to MM within at least 2 years of follow up of their samples being collected and stored; this will constitute the standard risk SMM group. The strength of this approach is that we will utilize stored SMM samples from one of the most comprehensively characterized monoclonal gammopathy biobanks available. Secondly, all samples will be obtained from collection dates at least 2 years prior in order to ensure adequate follow-up time to assess their current clinical status. This would avoid the need to prospectively collect samples from SMM patients and clinically follow them for a number of years before we are able to gauge who were clinically high or standard risk for progression. There are over 700 SMM patients who have had their BM samples collected and stored in the biobank from 1996 to 2013; more than half these patients have progressed to MM. |
