Abstract

Patients with multiple myeloma (MM) who experience deep remissions, including minimal residual disease (MRD) negativity, have better clinical outcomes compared to those do not. We aimed to describe the effect of testing for MRD negativity in a cohort of MM patients outside of a clinical trial. For most patients, MRD negativity supports improved clinical outcomes. However, in our cohort of patients with high-risk MM, MRD negativity does not seem to affect the overall poor prognosis.
