Multiple Myeloma
Conditions
Brief summary
The purpose of this study is to measure the incidence of hyperpigmentation in Black participants with multiple myeloma (MM) treated with immunomodulatory drugs (IMiDs) compared with Black participants with MM not treated with IMiDs. The study will use de-identified data from electronic medical records in the Flatiron Health database.
Interventions
Participants with MM treated with IMiDs
Participants with MM not treated with IMiDs
Participants with MM treated with systemic therapy

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Incidence of hyperpigmentation in Black participants exposed to IMiDs to non-IMiDs for MM | 12 months | Each qualified patient must have at least 6 months of medical data recorded in the Flatiron database before the index date (pre-index period) and 6 months of available data on and after the index date (follow-up period). |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Incidence of skin hyperpigmentation in Black, non-Black and all participants who received systemic treatment for MM | 12 months | Each qualified patient must have at least 6 months of medical data recorded in the Flatiron database before the index date (pre-index period) and 6 months of available data on and after the index date (follow-up period). |
| Risk of skin hyperpigmentation in Black and non-Black participants diagnosed with MM and exposed to IMiDs | 12 months | Each qualified patient must have at least 6 months of medical data recorded in the Flatiron database before the index date (pre-index period) and 6 months of available data on and after the index date (follow-up period). |
| Risk of skin hyperpigmentation in non-Black participants exposed to IMiDs versus non-IMiDs for MM | 12 months | Each qualified patient must have at least 6 months of medical data recorded in the Flatiron database before the index date (pre-index period) and 6 months of available data on and after the index date (follow-up period). |
