Clinical Trial Summary

RATIONALE: Melphalan and colony-stimulating factors such as filgrastim may increase the number of immune cells found in bone marrow or peripheral blood.

PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of melphalan combined with filgrastim in stimulating peripheral stem cells in patients who have multiple myeloma.


Clinical Trial Description

OBJECTIVES:

- Determine the safety and efficacy of melphalan when used with filgrastim (G-CSF) for stem cell mobilization in patients with multiple myeloma.

- Analyze how this mobilization regimen affects parameters of stem cell (CD34+) mobilization and collection in these patients.

- Determine how this mobilization regimen affects disease status and clonotypic (i.e., tumor cell) contamination in stem cell components in these patients.

OUTLINE: Patients undergo peripheral blood stem cell (PBSC) mobilization consisting of melphalan IV on day 1 and filgrastim (G-CSF) subcutaneously beginning on day 2 and continuing until PBSC collection is complete.

Patients are followed at 1 month.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 11-32 patients will be accrued for this study within 2 years. ;
