This is a multicenter, open-label, non-interventional controlled study to identify and characterize the epigenetic signatures for a set of hematological malignancies: Multiple myeloma (MM), pre-MM conditions \[smoldering MM (SMM) and monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS)\], Hodgkin lymphoma (HL), diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL), Follicular lymphoma (FL), Marginal Zone lymphomas (MZL), acute myeloid leukemia (AML)\*, myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), subjects at risk and control subjects with no malignant disease.
\*Patients with a diagnosis of acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) are not included

AI-rewrites the medical criteria so a patient or caregiver can understand them. Always confirm with the trial site.
Inclusion criteria
. Male and female subjects ≥18 years of age
. Ability to understand and willingness to sign a written informed consent document.
. First-degree relatives; AND /OR
. Elderly subjects ≥ 65 years of age.
Exclusion criteria
. Patients/subjects with current co-diagnosis of another type of cancer;
. Patients/subjects with a known active or prior cancer (other than defined as study population), occurring within the last 2 years (even if considered to be in complete remission). Patients/subjects with non- melanoma skin cancer or carcinoma in situ of any type are not excluded if they have undergone complete resection;
Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
