A Pilot Study Using High Dose Busulfan and Bortezomib as Part of Allogeneic Transplant Conditioning Regimen for High Risk Multiple Myeloma Patients.


PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To determine time to engraftment absolute neutrophil count (> 0.5 x 10^9/L for 3
consecutive days), and platelet (> 20X 109^/L for 3 consecutive days).

2. Incidence and severity of acute graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) using fludarabine
(fludarabine phosphate) / busulfan / bortezomib preparative regimen and triple immune
suppression with tacrolimus, sirolimus and Thymoglobulin (anti-thymocyte globulin).

3. To determine the safety related to this combination in the first six months post
transplant, specifically, treatment related mortality and grade III and IV non hematologic
toxicities, based on Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 4 (v4).

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

I. Incidence of myeloma progression in this high risk group of patients.

II. Incidence of transplant related mortality and morbidity.

III. Incidence of thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) and sinusoidal obstructive
syndrome (SOS).

IV. Incidence and severity of chronic GVHD.

V. Incidence of opportunistic infections including cytomegalovirus (CMV), herpes simplex
virus (HSV), and Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) reactivation.

I. Overall and progression free survival (PFS) at Day 100, 6 months, 1 & 2 years post
transplant.

VII. To determine recovery of T-cell, B cell, and natural killer (NK) cell phenotypes post
transplant.

OUTLINE:

CONDITIONING REGIMEN: Patients receive fludarabine phosphate intravenously (IV) on days -7
to -3, busulfan IV on days -6 to -3, and bortezomib IV on day -2.

GVHD PROPHYLAXIS: Patients receive anti-thymocyte globulin IV on days -3 to -1, sirolimus
orally (PO) on day -3, and tacrolimus IV on day -3. Patients undergo allogeneic
hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) on day 0.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up for up to 2 years.


Inclusion Criteria:



- Ability to provide informed consent

- Karnofsky Performance Status (KPS) >= 70

- Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status =< 2

- Availability of a suitable allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell donor; minimum of human
leukocyte antigen (HLA) 7/8 matched related or unrelated donor

- High risk multiple myeloma with poor prognostic features based on having one or more
of the following criteria:

- Progressive disease after autologous transplant. No less than 3 months post auto
transplant

- Progressive or stable disease after induction chemotherapy using the most potent
myeloma agents Lenalidomide and/or Bortezomib

- Patients with high risk cytogenetic abnormalities documented on conventional
cytogenetics or fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) (hypodiploidy, t(4:14),
t(14:16) chromosome translocation, p53 and or complex cytogenetics) additionally,
chromosome 13 deletion by standard cytogenetics

- Negative beta-human chorionic gonadotropin (β-HCG) pregnancy test for women, as well
as implementation of birth control for men and women

Exclusion Criteria:

- Patients with prior allogeneic transplant, or more than one prior autologous
transplant for any medical reason

- Prior treatment with busulfan or gemtuzumab (Mylotarg ®) for any reason

- Patient with history of allergy to boron, mannitol, or bortezomib

- Creatinine clearance (CrCl) =< 50 ml/min

- Ejection Fraction < 50%

- Diffusion capacity of carbon monoxide (DLCO) < 50% predicted

- Forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1) < 50% predicted

- Forced vital capacity (FVC) < 50% predicted

- Patients with uncontrolled arrhythmia or uncontrolled heart disease at the screening
time; patients with coronary heart disease (recent myocardial infarctions, angina,
cardiac stent, or bypass surgery in the last 6 months) need to be cleared with a
stress echo or nuclear myocardial perfusion stress test, and cardiology consult; all
other cardiac history will be at the discretion of the principal investigator

- Liver enzymes > 3 times upper limit normal

- Bilirubin > 2 mg/dl (except Gilbert's disease)

- International normalized ratio (INR) > 2

- Any previous history of liver failure, hepatitis, or cirrhosis

- Systemic Amyloidosis Known history of hepatitis B, C, human immunodeficiency virus
(HIV) or any current uncontrolled infection

- Grade > I neuropathy

- Women who are pregnant or lactating

- Current or history of alcohol or drug abuse

- Use of other investigational agents within 30 days of enrollment to this study

- Any patient with ascites

- Any patient on home oxygen

- Any clinical findings on history or physical exam which would in the opinion of the
treating physician or principal investigator preclude the patient from participating
in the study
