Brief summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of Bortezomib when added to standard chemotherapy medicine(s) for treatment of Multiple Myeloma.

Detailed description

The primary objectives of this study are: * To determine the 2 year-progression free survival in multiple myeloma with an allogeneic transplant using a conditioning regimen of melphalan + fludarabine + Bortezomib in patients \< 60 years of age and available HLA-matched donor and compare it with the 2 year-progression-free-survival after an autologous stem cell transplant with melphalan+Bortezomib conditioning in patients \< 60 years. * To determine the 2 year-progression free survival in multiple myeloma with an autologous stem cell transplant using a conditioning regimen of melphalan + Bortezomib. for patients \> 60 years of age and patients \< 60 years of age who decline allogeneic stem cell transplant. The secondary objectives of this study are: * To determine the overall survival in multiple myeloma with autologous or allogeneic stem cell transplants using the above conditioning regimens * To determine the response rates in multiple myeloma using the above regimens. * To determine minimal residual disease status using allele specific oligonucleotides (ASO-PCR) by PCR and flow-cytometry for multiple myeloma cells. * To correlate minimal residual disease status with 2 year progression free survival and overall survival. * To determine the incidence of acute and chronic graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) in multiple myeloma with allogeneic stem cell transplant using the above conditioning regimen. * To examine quality of life in patients treated with allogeneic and autologous stem cell transplants using the above conditioning regimen.

Interventions

DRUGBortezomib

AUTOLOGOUS ARM: Day -3 bortezomib (1.3 mg/m\^2) as an intravenous push over 3 to 5 seconds (follows Melphalan infusion). ALLOGENEIC ARM: Day -3 bortezomib (1.3 mg/m\^2) as an intravenous push over 3 to 5 seconds (follows fludarabine and melphalan infusion).

DRUGMelphalan

AUTOLOGOUS ARM: Day -4 and Day -3 Melphalan 100 mg/m\^2/day IV over 30 minutes. ALLOGENEIC ARM: Day -4, Day -3 Melphalan 70 mg/m\^2/day IV over 30 minutes.

PROCEDUREAutologous Stem Cell Transplant

Autologous Stem Cell Transplant: Autologous Peripheral Blood Stem Cell Rescue. Stem cell mobilization with granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (GCSF) at a dose of 10 μg/kg/day as per institutional standards. CD34+ peripheral blood stem cells will be collected following the administration of G-CSF as per institutional standards. Day 0 Infusion of autologous stem cells.

DRUGFludarabine

Days -6,-5,-4,-3 Fludarabine 30 mg/m\^2/day IV

PROCEDUREAllogeneic Stem Cell Transplant

Allogeneic Stem Cell Transplant: Allogeneic Peripheral Blood Stem Cell Rescue. Day 0 Infusion of allogeneic peripheral blood stem cells. For the allogeneic matched-related donors peripheral blood stem cells will be harvested with GCSF mobilization and infused fresh to the recipients. Allogeneic donor stem cells may also be cryopreserved if they cannot be infused fresh.
