What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • PET scanProcedure or surgery

    Performed at diagnosis, after 3 cycles of induction therapy, and at completion of therapy

  • MRIProcedure or surgery

    Performed at diagnosis, after 3 cycles of induction therapy, and at completion of therapy

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Number of patients with at least one lesion not detected on the MRI lesions

    Measured: At diagnosis

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Negativity of the exam after 3 cycles of chemotherapy and just before the maintenance treatment

    Measured: 3 months and 7 months

  2. Number of lesions at diagnosis

    Measured: Inclusion (diagnosis)

  3. diffuse disease at diagnosis

    Measured: Diagnosis time (inclusion)

  4. Direct costs of PET and MRI at diagnosis, after the first cycles of chemotherapy and before the maintenance treatment

    Measured: Inclusion, 3 months and 7 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing PET scan and MRI in people with Multiple Myeloma, run by Nantes University Hospital at 17 sites in France.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 3 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 14 Sep 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 17 sites in France. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Number of patients with at least one lesion not detected on the MRI lesions (time frame: At diagnosis). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01309334, which also lists 3 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 14 Sep 2026.
