Brief summary

In this study donor bone marrow transplantation is divided into a two step process to try to significantly reduce the side effects of the procedure yet still provide patients with multiple myeloma the benefits of this procedure

Detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES: I. To evaluate engraftment of human leukocyte antigen (HLA) identical peripheral blood stem cell (PBSC) allografts given after conditioning with total-body irradiation (TBI) (200 cGy) and post-grafting immunosuppression with cyclosporine (CSP)/mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) in myeloma patients initially cytoreduced with high-dose melphalan. II. To evaluate non-relapse mortality at day 100 post allografting. III. To evaluate the efficacy of this allografting strategy in terms of long-term progression free survival (PFS). OUTLINE: CONDITIONING REGIMEN: Patients receive high-dose melphalan intravenously (IV) over 15-20 minutes on day -2. TRANSPLANTATION: Patients undergo autologous bone marrow or PBSC transplantation (PBSCT) on day 0. NON-MYELOABLATIVE CONDITIONING REGIMEN: Beginning 40-120 days after autologous transplant, patients undergo TBI on day 0. TRANSPLANTATION: Patients undergo donor PBSCT on day 0. IMMUNOSUPPRESSION: Patients receive cyclosporine IV twice daily (BID) on days -1 and 0 and orally (PO) BID on days 1-80 with taper based on evaluation of disease response and graft-versus-host disease (GVHD). Patients also receive mycophenolate mofetil PO BID on days 0-27. POST-TRANSPLANTATION DONOR LYMPHOCYTE INFUSION (DLI): Beginning 4 weeks after immunosuppression, patients achieving persistent or progressive disease may undergo DLI over 30 minutes every 4 weeks for up to 3 treatments. After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up for 3 years.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
PFSFrom the date of transplant until the time of progression, relapse, death, or the date the patient was last known to be in remission, up to 3 yearsThe current study will be regarded as potentially efficacious if the observed 3-year PFS rate among all patients treated exceeds 30%. The Kaplan-Meier (KM) estimate of PFS will be used.
Decrease in the short-term transplant-related mortalityDay 100 after allograft
Establish stable allogeneic engraftment (mixed or full donor chimerism)At day 56 after allografting

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Overall survivalUp to 3 yearsEstimated by the method of Kaplan and Meier. Confidence intervals will be estimated.
Ability to convert mixed to full donor chimerism with DLIUp to 3 yearsConfidence intervals will be estimated.
Relapse rateUp to 3 yearsSummarized using cumulative incidence estimates. Confidence intervals will be estimated.
Response rateUp to 3 yearsConfidence intervals will be estimated.
