Summary

This trial is testing how well leflunomide works for treating patients with high-risk smoldering plasma cell myeloma, to delay disease progression.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with high-risk smoldering multiple myeloma who haven't been treated with leflunomide before. Participants must not be pregnant, have a life expectancy over 3 months, and an ECOG performance status of 0-2 (which means they are fully active or at least capable of self-care). They should not have serious liver disease, HIV, recent acute infections, or other cancers within the last 3 years.
What is being tested?
The study tests how well leflunomide works in delaying disease progression in patients with high-risk smoldering multiple myeloma. Leflunomide is an anti-inflammatory drug that may lower immune response to help treat cancer. The trial also assesses the quality-of-life impact on participants.
What are the potential side effects?
Leflunomide can cause side effects like diarrhea, hair loss, rash, high blood pressure and liver problems. It might also weaken your immune system making you more prone to infections.
