M-RNA disease treatment is such a cool and rapidly developing science. Moderna has multiple trials ongoing looking at the effectiveness of these treatments on multiple lines of cancer, with the goal of developing effective vaccines against aggressive cancers. The vaccines active the body’s own k-cells to recognize abnormal myeloma cells and tumors and kill them (even drug resistant ones). If this interests you as it does me, Phase 1 (dosing levels) and Phase 2 (testing response) is going on now.

I have been on a clinical trial since 1-2-24 and am MRD Negative. I thank God and Fred Hutchison everyday for this opportunity.

Clinical trials are essential for developing new myeloma treatments, with many showing promising results. Recent trials have demonstrated significant advances in treating relapsed and hard-to-treat multiple myeloma, with some therapies achieving impressive response rates.

Before participating in any clinical trial, here are key benefits to consider:
• Access to cutting-edge treatments not otherwise available
• Enhanced care and monitoring from research teams
• Regular assessments and detailed follow-up
• Costs are typically covered by trial sponsors
• Opportunity to advance crucial myeloma research Recent clinical trials have shown encouraging outcomes. For example, new combination therapies have helped 82% of people with relapsed myeloma see their cancer shrink or disappear for extended periods. These trials are particularly important for those with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma who haven't responded to standard treatments.

Remember to discuss participation with your healthcare team to understand if this specific trial aligns with your treatment journey.

Jamie, thanks for this information. I'm excluded because of my current treatments. I sure hope the trial gets excellent results.
