A Study of Outcomes and Toxicity of Busulfex as Part of a High Dose Chemotherapy Preparative Regimen in Autologous Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation for Patients With Plasma Cell Myeloma


OBJECTIVES:

Primary

- To compare relapse-free survival and overall survival of patients with multiple myeloma
treated with IV busulfan vs historical control patients treated with oral busulfan when
administered with cyclophosphamide as a conditioning regimen prior to autologous
hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.

Secondary

- To compare pulmonary toxicity rates of IV busulfan vs oral busulfan when administered
with cyclophosphamide as a conditioning regimen prior to autologous hematopoietic stem
cell transplantation.

OUTLINE: Patients receive high-dose busulfan IV every 6 hours on days -8 to -4 and high-dose
cyclophosphamide IV over 4 hours on days -3 and -2. Patients undergo autologous
hematopoietic stem cell transplantation on day 0.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up periodically.
