Conditions

Multiple Myeloma, Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma

Brief summary

The trial is an open label Simon optimal two-stage Phase II trial of fixed doses of oral meloxicam and subcutaneous filgrastim to assess the safety and efficacy in mobilizing autologous peripheral blood stem cells (PBSC) from multiple myeloma (MM) and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) patients planning to undergo high-dose chemotherapy with stem cell support. Clinical data regarding the cellular composition and function of the graft mobilized by this combination will be obtained.

Interventions

DRUGMeloxicam

15 mg tablets of Meloxicam will be taken orally in the morning, with or without food.

DRUGFilgrastim

Filgrastim will be subcutaneously injected in one or two sites at home.

Urine M-protein ≤1 g/24 hours (MM patients only) 6. No prior attempt at mobilizing PBSC. 7. Patients must be at least 4 weeks from last cytotoxic chemotherapy (including alkylating, anthracyclines, epipodophylatoxins, and platinum drugs), or immunomodulatory drugs (including lenalidomide or pomalidomide, or related derivatives) at time of treatment on this protocol. 8.

Women of childbearing potential must have a negative pregnancy test (urine or serum) and must not be lactating at the time of informed consent. 1. Women and men must use adequate birth control while taking part in this study (such as a condom or diaphragm with contraceptive cream/jelly, birth control pills, Norplant, abstinence (no sexual intercourse) or surgical sterilization.

Exclusion criteria

Exclude a patient if any of the following conditions are observed: 1. Patients must not have received radiation therapy within the past 4 weeks, and not to more than 20% of hematopoiesis forming bones (spine, pelvis and proximal long bones). 2. Patients must not have active central nervous system involvement. 3. Patients must not have a prior autologous, syngeneic or allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant. 4. Patients must not have received prior bone seeking radionuclides. 5. Patients must not have received myeloid growth factors within 2 weeks before mobilization attempt on this study. 6.

Patients with a history of asthma will be excluded because of the potential for NSAID to precipitate asthma in these patients.

Time to Neutrophil Engraftment

Time to neutrophil engraftment will be analyzed by the Kaplan-Meier method. The time to engraftment of neutrophils is defined as the time from day 0 to the date of the first of three consecutive days after transplantation during which the absolute neutrophils count (ANC) is at least 0.5 x109/l. The median and 95% confidence intervals will be provided. Only patients with neutrophil engraftment will be included.

Time frame: within 100 days of transplant

Population: All patients who had a transplant and engrafted. All patients were analyzed together since the definition for neutrophil engraftment is the same regardless of disease and only the time until overall neutrophil engraftment was the outcome of interest.
