Monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS) is the precursor of multiple myeloma (MM) and related disorders. MGUS is characterized by asymptomatic paraproteinemia. In some cases, multiple paraproteins can be identified but the clinical implications of this phenomenon are poorly understood. In this study, we aim to inform the approach to this challenging MGUS subgroup by utilizing data from iStopMM, a population‐based screening study and randomized trial of follow‐up strategies. In total, 75,422 Icelanders over the age of 40 were screened for MGUS with 3389 (4.4%) having at least one paraprotein of whom 303 (9%) had multiple paraproteins. IgM paraproteins were more common in those with multiple paraproteins (49% vs. 27% of paraproteins, p < 0.001), and IgM and non‐IgM paraproteins frequently co‐occurred (60% of cases). Two‐thirds of these participants were randomized to active follow‐up where only 31% of multiple paraproteins were persistent. Paraprotein concentrations were mostly independent, and although progression events were few, the progression rate was similar between those with multiple paraproteins and a single paraprotein. In a next‐generation flow cytometry (NGF) sub‐study, two phenotypically distinct aberrant plasma cell populations could be identified in some with multiple paraproteins. The findings suggest that multiple paraproteins often reflect independent ongoing disease processes that should be monitored independently but otherwise treated similarly to other MGUS cases. Specifically, the findings highlight the need for independent monitoring of IgM and non‐IgM paraproteins in these individuals. The study provides novel insights into the management of this understudied MGUS subset.
