Trial Information

A Phase II Study of Clofarabine in Patients With Relapsed or Refractory Multiple Myeloma


To determine the time to response, duration of response, and time to progression of patients
treated with clofarabine.

To determine the safety and tolerability of clofarabine in these patients.


Inclusion Criteria:

2. Measurable levels of monoclonal protein in serum (>= 0.5 g/dL) or urine (>= 0.2 g/24
hr).

3. At least 1 prior therapies for multiple myeloma with documented evidence of
progression on the most recent treatment.

4. Age 18 years or older.

5. ECOG performance status <= 2.

6. Acceptable organ and marrow function as defined below:

- Hemoglobin >= 8 gm/dL

- Absolute neutrophil count >= 1,000/mm3

- Platelets >= 50,000/mm3

- Total bilirubin <= 2.5 X institutional upper limit of normal

- AST, ALT <= 2.5 X institutional upper limit of normal

- Creatinine 1.5 x institutional upper limit of normal

- Normal cardiac function as determined by standard institutional methods

7. Women of child bearing potential must agree to use adequate contraception prior to
study entry and for the duration of study.

8. Ability to understand and the willingness to sign a written informed consent
document.

Exclusion Criteria:

significant at the time of treatment.

would limit compliance with study requirements.
