Abstract

Early in the COVID‐19 pandemic, the UK National Health Service (NHS) identified multiple myeloma (MM) patients as a “clinically extremely vulnerable” population1. In contrast, the clinical significance of COVID‐19 to MM precursors, monoclonal gammopathy of undermined significance (MGUS)2 and smouldering multiple myeloma (SMM)3, remains unknown.

Here for the first time we summarise the impact of the COVID‐19 pandemic on 274 MM spectrum individuals (66 MGUS, 33 SMM, 175 MM) who participated in the IMPaCCT (Investigating the impact of COVID‐19 on caregivers and patients) study. The first wave of this online international longitudinal study took place between 24 April‐14 July 2020.
