Brief summary

To evaluate the toxicity and tolerability of this tandem autologous/allogeneic transplant approach for patients with advanced stage multiple myeloma.

Detailed description

Development of cell-based immunotherapy from allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) is dependent upon stable T-cell engraftment and the success of this therapeutic approach is likely to be greatest when directed against a minimal rather than gross tumor burden. To this end, tandem transplants with high dose therapy and autologous hematopoietic cell transplantation (AHCT) for tumor cytoreduction followed by non-myeloablative allotransplant have been conducted. In myeloma, this tandem approach results in greater efficacy compared to conventional AHCT.

Interventions

PROCEDUREAutologous peripheral blood stem cells (auto-PBSC) transplantation

Auto-PBSC ≥ 2 to 3 x 10e6 CD34+ cells/kg are intravenously (IV) infused as part of the combination stem cell therapy. and allogeneic stem cells are administered intravenous (IV) infusion to reestablish hematopoietic function in patients whose bone marrow or immune system is damaged or defective

PROCEDUREAllogeneic peripheral blood stem cells (allo-PBSC) transplantation

Allo-PBSC (target collection ≥ 5 x 10e6 CD34+ cells/kg) are intravenously (IV) infused as part of the combination stem cell therapy.

DRUGFilgrastim

Filgrastim is administered subcutaneously (SC) at 10 µg/kg/day for auto-PBSC mobilization starting day 2 of mobilization until the last day of apheresis. Filgrastim is administered SC at 5 µg/kg/day from Day 6 after auto-PBSC infusion to hematologic recovery. Filgrastim is administered SC at 16 µg/kg/day for donor allo-PBSC mobilization at from Day - 4 to Day 0, prior to allo-PBSC collection.

DRUGCyclophosphamide

Cyclophosphamide is administered intravenously (IV) at 4 g/m2 on Day 1 of the auto-PBSC mobilization regimen.

DRUGMelphalan

Melphalan is administered after CSP at 200 mg/m2 intravenously (IV) on Day -2 before auto-PBSC infusion.

DRUGCyclosporine

Cyclosporine is administered by mouth (PO) for allo-PBSC graft vs host disease (GvHD) prophylaxis at 5 mg/kg from Day -3 through Bay +56. Tacrolimus may substituted.

Total lymphoid irradiation is administered at 80 centigrey (cGy) on Day -11 to -7; and Day -4 to -2 before alllo-PBSC infusion. TLI is also administered at 80 centigrey (cGy) x 2 on Day -1 before alllo-PBSC infusion.

ATG 1.5 mg/kg is administered intravenously (IV) on Day -11 to -7 before allo-PBSC infusion.

MMF is administered at 15 mg/kg 3x/day by mouth (PO) after allo-PBSC through Day 40, followed by 10% dose reduction weekly (dose taper) through day 96, and adjusted if there is evidence of MMF-related GI toxicity or excessive myelosuppression

Solumedrol 1 mg/kg is administered intravenously (IV) on Day -11 to -7 as a premedication for ATG and allo-PBSC infusion

DRUGDiphenhydramine

Diphenhydramine 25 to 50 mg is administered as a premedication for the ATG; allo-PBSC; and DLI infusions.

DRUGAcetaminophen

Acetaminophen 650 mg is administered as a premedication for the ATG and allo-PBSC infusions.

DRUGHydrocortisone

Hydrocortisone 100 mg is administered intravenously (IV) is a premedication for the allo-PBSC and DLI infusions.

Time frame: 1 month

Population: Due to the less intensive conditioning before allo-PBSC, only 2 participants experienced cytopenia, and thus only 2 participants could be evaluated for engraftment after allo-PBSC.
