Stem Cell Transplantation in Treating Patients With Previously-Treated Multiple Myeloma - Full Text View

ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier:	NCT00054353

Purpose

RATIONALE: Stem cell transplantation may be able to replace immune cells that were destroyed by previous cancer treatment. Sometimes the transplanted cells can make an immune response against the body's normal tissues. Cyclosporine and mycophenolate mofetil may prevent this from happening.

PURPOSE: This phase I/II trial is studying donor stem cell transplantation to see how well it works in treating patients with multiple myeloma that has been previously treated.

Treatment-related mortality at 100 days [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Primary Completion Date:	February 2008 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)

Detailed Description:

OBJECTIVES:

Determine the efficacy of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, in terms of 1-year progression-free survival and overall survival, in patients with previously treated multiple myeloma.
Determine non-relapse mortality at day 100 in patients treated with this regimen.
Determine the incidence of grade II-IV acute graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) and chronic extensive GVHD in patients treated with this regimen.

OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study.

Patients receive fludarabine IV over 30 minutes on days -5 to -3 and melphalan IV over 15-20 minutes on day -2. Patients undergo total body irradiation and allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation on day 0.

Patients also receive graft-versus-host disease prophylaxis according to the type of donor.

Related donor: Patients receive oral cyclosporine every 12 hours on days -3 to 80 followed by a taper until day 180 and oral mycophenolate mofetil every 12 hours on days 0-27.
Unrelated donor: Patients receive oral cyclosporine every 12 hours on days -3 to 100 followed by a taper until day 177 and oral mycophenolate mofetil every 8 hours on days 0-40 followed by a taper until day 96.

Patients are followed at days 28, 56, and 84; at months 6, 12, 18, and 24; and then annually for 5 years.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 30 patients will be accrued for this study within 3 years.
