Canadian Myeloma Research Group

Canadian Myeloma Research Group CMRG is home to Canada's foremost myeloma researchers, including clinicians, other healthcare practitioners, research coordinators and scientists.

Canadian Myeloma Research Group (CMRG) is a Canada-wide network of researchers working to develop better treatments for extending life and enhancing the quality of life for those living with myeloma and other related disorders. In addition to doctors highly experienced in the specific problems faced by myeloma patients, our team includes individuals who have expertise across a number of key areas, such as:

-Genomics (study of genes and their functions)

-Immunotherapy (using the immune system to fight myeloma)

-Drug Target Evaluation (evaluating specificity of a drug for myeloma)

-Mechanism of Drug Resistance (studying resistance of myeloma to drugs)

-Cellular Therapy (using immune cells to fight myeloma)


National Biobank
The creation of an CMRG National Biobank of frozen bio-specimens (blood and bone marrow) for myeloma research is a long-term goal of our organization. Our member researchers currently have active research laboratories in many provinces working on myeloma biomarkers and potential drug targets. Our vision is to develop a streamlined platform for sample acquisition, transport and storage. This optimized access and coordination will increase the collaborative potential and productivity of these laboratories and result in more rapid advancement of sophisticated myeloma research.

The board at CMRG recognizes our patients and our families during myeloma month.

We recently met in Ottawa and had the chance to reflect on our successes. As well as some much needed comradery.

500 Canadians have received myeloma treatment not available in Canada as a result of the ongoing research at CMRG.

We look forward to many more exciting clinical trials in the future

We at CMRG recognize our patients and families during Myeloma month.

The Board of Directors recently met in Ottawa and we had the chance to reflect on our successes so far.
- 500 Canadians with myeloma have received treatment that would otherwise not be available in Canada.
- That is a total of 6,500 doses of potentially life extending or even lifesaving medicine.

At the Canadian Myeloma Research group, we will continue moving forward in doing the research needed in order to eradicate this disease..

Like any successful board meeting it was followed by dinner and comradery.

We celebrate Clinical Trials Day on May 20, marking the start of the first randomized clinical trial by James Lind in 1747. Since then, clinical trials have evolved significantly. Today, they are essential in developing treatments for conditions like myeloma. We thank everyone involved in myeloma clinical trials, from researchers to participants, for their crucial role in advancing safe and effective treatments.
