Precision MRD Blood Test for Multiple Myeloma.

EasyM™ is an ultrasensitive mass spectrometry-based blood test for Multiple Myeloma (MM) minimal residual disease (MRD) monitoring.

Precision MRD Blood Test for Multiple Myeloma

Advances in multiple myeloma treatments have led to improved survival in patients with multiple myeloma. Achieving minimal residual disease negativity is strongly linked to longer Progression-Free Survival (PFS) and Overall Survival (OS).1,2

The 2016 update to the IMWG response criteria added new definitions for MRD negativity, and in 2024, the FDA recognized MRD as a surrogate endpoint in clinical trials. These changes have increased MRD’s importance in clinical practice and underscored the need for better MRD monitoring tools.

Highly sensitive bone marrow tests for multiple myeloma like next generation sequencing (NGS) and next generation flow cytometry (NGF) are commonly used to assess MRD after autologous stem cell transplant (ASCT) or during maintenance therapy. However, because they require bone marrow aspirations, frequent use in practice is limited.3

EasyM™: A Simpler Way to Monitor MRD in MM

learn more about EasyM™

EasyM is a groundbreaking blood test for MRD monitoring in multiple myeloma.

M-Protein in multiple myeloma is a well established biomarker.  EasyM uses ultrasensitive clonotypic peptides mass spectrometry to measure M-protein levels in the blood. 

Powered by Rapid Novor’s REmAb platform and proprietary proteomics workflow, it quickly and accurately sequences M-proteins from a simple serum sample.

Unmatched Sensitivity

EasyM detects M-proteins with 1000 times greater sensitivity than SPEP.

In studies, EasyM detected M-protein in 79% of samples that were MRD negative by NGS at the 10-5 threshold.4

100% Specificity

The clonotypic peptide approach is 100% patient-specific, allowing precise M-protein monitoring free from interference from the polyclonal background and from modern therapeutic antibodies.

Non-Invasive Sampling

Testing in peripheral blood overcomes challenges with bone marrow sampling bias and allows for convenient and frequent monitoring of the patient’s M-protein.
