Is there significant information to be gained by participating or is it more about statistics and funding for the group doing the study?

I am currently in a clinical trial for a new MM drug. IT IS VERY PROMISING, ALMOST AS GOOD AS C-T. the drug company pays the cost of the drug and the cancer center study team pays good for gas and toll money for each study trip. I'm 1 of 20 on pittsburgh in this study, but I can tell you IT IS VERY VERY PROMISING and is being called a life changer for millions of MM patients. The drug is Talquatemab.

We cannot participate because we live in Canada. I think it is a great program

I signed up, but not sure I can be in the study because I'm hoping I'm in remission. I definitely think its a great thing. They will be doing genetics testing on our myeloma and we can get copies of the report. Its supposed to help our doctors decide which treatment is best. My doctor signed the consent and sent it in. But they want you to have active myeloma, so they have enough myeloma cells in yyour blood sample to test. Can't do it if you live in Hawaii, Alaska or New York.
