Myeloblative Therapy With Autologous Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation in Patients With Multiple Myeloma and B-Cell Malignancies


OBJECTIVES:

- Determine the safety and efficacy of myeloablative therapy with autologous
hematopoietic stem cell transplantation in patients with multiple myeloma and other
B-cell malignancies.

- Determine the efficacy and pretransplantation prognostic factors associated with
myeloablative therapy in these patients.

- Determine engraftment kinetics of granulocytes and platelets, as well as blood product
transfusion requirements following hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.

OUTLINE: Patients must have hematopoietic stem cell procurement completed prior to
myeloablative therapy. Patients receive high dose chemotherapy with autologous hematopoietic
stem cell transplantation and supportive care. Melphalan is administered in one dose on day
-1 at least 12 hours before stem cell infusion. Peripheral blood stem cells and/or bone
marrow is reinfused on day 0. Filgrastim (G-CSF) or sargramostim (GM-CSF) is administered
beginning on day 1 posttransplantation and continuing until blood counts recover.

Patients who are not candidates for tandem transplant may receive melphalan plus total body
irradiation (TBI). Melphalan is administered IV on day -4. Total body irradiation is
administered three times a day on days -3 and -2 and twice on day -1. At least 4 hours must
elapse between each treatment. Hematopoietic stem cells are reinfused on day -1 upon
completion of TBI or on day 0.

If patient is ineligible for melphalan plus TBI, the alternative single high dose regimen of
melphalan plus cyclophosphamide is administered. Melphalan, for these patients, is given in
two equal doses on day -4 followed by two consecutive days of cyclophosphamide on days -3
and -2. Hematopoietic stem cells are reinfused on day 0.

A second transplant may be considered, preferably between 3 and 6 months after the first
transplant. The preferred regimen for the second transplant is melphalan alone or melphalan
plus TBI as described above. The alternative regimens for the second dose therapy are
melphalan alone or melphalan plus cyclophosphamide. For patients receiving melphalan alone,
melphalan is administered in one dose on day -1 at least 12 hours before stem cell infusion.
Hematopoietic stem cells are reinfused on day 0 for both alternative regimens.

Patients are followed for response from treatment for a minimum of 4 weeks and then
periodically for survival.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A minimum of 10 patients will be accrued for this study.
