Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: 1. Inclusion in the HOVON 87 study; 2. To be included in part II, patients have to participate in part I of the study.
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: 1. Contraindications for MRI (including e.g. pacemaker, ICD, metallic splinter in eye, hemostatic clips in CNS, claustrofobia, or other implants that are contraindicated according to the MRI operator’s discretion); 2. Physical inability to access either MRI or PET-CT facilities; 3. Active, uncontrolled infections; 4. Known or suspected hypersensitivity or intolerance to used contrast agent; 5. Impaired renal function: clearance ≤ 40 ml-min; 6. Uncontrolled diabetes; 7. Contraindications for (horizontal) immobilization during at least one hour [part II only].
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| 1. Progression free survival, defined as time from registration to progression or death from any cause [part I only]; 2. Conversion rate, defined as complete normalization, of FDG-PET [part II only]. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| 1. Clinically symptomatic bone disease defined as fractures and lesions needing radiotherapy and/or surgery; 2. Clinically symptomatic bone disease defined by the EORTC QLQ-MY20 measuring specific aspects of multiple myeloma, i.e. specific pain complaints; 3. Overall survival, measured from time of registration; 4. Conversion rate, defined as complete normalization, of WB-MRI and contrast-enhanced MRI and diffusion-weighted MRI [part II only]; 5. The number and distribution of lesions detected by the different imaging techniques (at different time points [part II only]); 6. Remission status as determined by the IMWG criteria after three induction cycles and after completion of induction therapy [part II only]. | — |
