About this study

Official title: A Cross-sectional Study on the Positive Rate of Monoclonal Immunoglobulin (M Protein) in the Serum of Patients Seeking Medical Treatment in Tertiary Hospitals Based on a Highly Sensitive Serum M Protein Detection Method.

By using a highly sensitive serum M protein detection method based on the MALDI-TOF MS platform, serum monoclonal immunoglobul (M protein) in detection was performed on the visiting patients to explore the positive rate of serum M protein and its distribution in different departments. And exploring the correlation analysis between the relative concentration of serum M protein based on the above highly sensitive methods and clinical indicators.

Read the detailed description

Monoclonal gammopathy (MG) is an asymptomatic pre-cancerous clonal proliferation of plasma cells. The onset of this disease is concealed, usually discovered by chance by patients who undergo protein electrophoresis to detect monoclonal gamma globulin (M protein) due to various clinical symptoms and disease evaluations. Due to the insidious onset of monoclonal immunoglobulin, involving multiple organs, and the non-specific clinical symptoms, it is more prone to misdiagnosis. This study hypothesized that among patients who first came to the hospital for treatment, some patients had elevated serum monoclonal immunoglobulin levels but were not initially diagnosed with hematology department, but instead sought medical attention from other departments due to other symptoms. In this study,by using a highly sensitive serum M protein detection method based on the MALDI-TOF MS platform, serum monoclonal immunoglobul (M protein) in detection was performed on the visiting patients to explore the positive rate of serum M protein and its distribution in different departments,and to explore the correlation analysis between the relative concentration of serum M protein based on the above highly sensitive methods and clinical indicators.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Multiple Myeloma and M Protein, run by Zhujiang Hospital at 1 site in China.

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 2 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 20 Dec 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in China. 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.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact Nianyi Zeng (13928801657 ext. +86, zengny1@i.smu.edu.cn), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Positive rate of M protein (time frame: one year). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 20 Dec 2024.
