MGUS screening RCT Screening for monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance: A population-based randomized clinical trial

Coordinator: HASKOLI ISLANDS (IS)

Monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS) is a very common precursor condition to multiple myeloma (MM), and related diseases, and can be found in approximately 4-5% of individuals over the age of 50 years. MM is always preceded by MGUS. Current risk stratification schemes, designed to predict those that will progress, are based on retrospective data and rely almost solely on serum protein markers. While they can differentiate high and low-risk patients, they cannot predict outcome for individual patients, are not integrated with one another, and have limited biological correl…

About Horizon 2020 (2014–2020)

Horizon 2020 was the EU's flagship research and innovation programme for 2014–2020, with a budget of around €77 billion. It bundled FP7's strands with the EIT and the Competitiveness and Innovation Programme, introduced a stronger societal-challenge orientation, and pushed the funding logic toward closer-to-market innovation. New calls closed in 2020 but funded projects continued through 2024.

EU contribution: €1.5M awarded to the consortium. The project runs over approximately 5 years from 2017-02-01 to 2022-01-31.
