Brief summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if high-dose Melphalan HCl for Injection works to treat multiple myeloma. It will also learn about the safety of high dose Melphalan HCl for Injection. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does high-dose Melphalan HCl for Injection deplete bone marrow activity which results in a better outcome of patients'own stem cell (blood-forming cell) transplantation? What medical problems do participants have when taking high-dose Melphalan HCl for Injection? How fast is the high-dose Melphalan HCl for Injection cleared out from blood? Participants will: * Take high-dose Melphalan HCl for Injection for 2 days * Have stem cell transplantation one day after treatment * Stay in the hospital for at least 10days and visit the clinic once every week for the first month after transplantation and every month after for checkups and tests.

Detailed description

Autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) is a standard of care in transplant-eligible MM patients which has been demonstrated with a better complete remission rate (CR) and with longer survival. High-dose melphalan (200 mg/m2) has been the most commonly used conditioning regimen for ASCT in MM. EVOMELA (melphalan HCl for Injection) stabilized with Captisol, a specially modified cyclodextrin, has been believed to have better solubility and stability upon reconstitution which result in decreased toxicity, increased convenience and flexibility of administration without comprising efficacious data. Melphalan HCl for Injection has been approved by NMPA as a standard conditioning drug for ASCT in MM patients. The current study evaluated the efficacy, safety, and PK profile for high-dose Melphalan HCl for Injection as a myeloablative conditioning regimen in Chinese symptomatic transplant-eligible MM patients.

Interventions

During the Study Period, patients will receive Melphalan HCl for Injection dosed at 100 mg/m2 on Day -3 and Day -2.

Diagnosed as symptomatic multiple myeloma, according to the International Myeloma Working Group's IMWG Guidelines for the Diagnosis and Treatment of Multiple Myeloma, treatment is necessary and suitable for autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation; 2. When signing the informed consent form, males and females aged ≥ 18 years and ≤ 65 years old; 3. Adequate autologous hematopoietic stem cells were collected, defined as peripheral blood stem cells containing at least 2 x 106 CD34+cells/kg that have not been manipulated or refrigerated; 4. Important organ functions meet the following conditions: i. Echocardiography indicates left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) ≥ 40%; ii. Serum total bilirubin\<2 times the upper limit of normal value, alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST)\<3 times the upper limit of normal value; Iii. creatinine clearance rate\>60 mL/min ; Iv. Blood oxygen saturation\>92% in non oxygenated state, without significant ventilation or ventilation dysfunction; 5. The Eastern Oncology Collaborative Group (ECOG) physical fitness status of the subjects is 0, 1, or 2; 6. The subject or their legal guardian voluntarily signs an informed consent form approved by the ethics committee before participating in the study, and agrees to complete the entire study treatment according to the clinical trial protocol.

Exclusion criteria

1. Multiple myeloma subjects without treatment indications; 2. Suffering from plasma cell leukemia; 3. Suffering from systemic amyloidosis; 4. Subjects with extramedullary plasma cell tumors did not reach PR after induction therapy; 5. Suffering from POEMS syndrome (multiple peripheral neuropathy, organ enlargement, endocrine disorders, M-proteinemia, skin changes); 6. Suffering from Fahrenheit macroglobulinemia; 7. Subjects with non secretory multiple myeloma; 8. Subjects with active bacterial, viral, or fungal infections who require oral or intravenous antibiotic treatment according to the researcher's judgment; 9. The expected survival period of the subjects is less than 6 months; 10. Previously suffering from other malignant tumors, except for cured basal cell carcinoma or cervical carcinoma in situ. Malignant tumors that have undergone curative treatment and achieved complete remission (CR) for more than 5 years can be enrolled. If malignant tumors receive curative treatment but have achieved complete remission (CR) for ≤ 5 years, they cannot be enrolled unless approved by the sponsor; 11. Pregnant or lactating women; 12. Subjects who have fertility and are unwilling to take appropriate contraceptive measures within 3 months after signing the informed consent form until the end of treatment in this study; 13. Positive for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) antibodies; 14. Subjects with positive hepatitis B virus DNA; 15. The subject receives other concurrent anti-tumor treatments (including chemotherapy, radiation therapy, hormone therapy, or immunotherapy) within 30 days prior to autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, or plans to receive any such treatments before the last study visit on day 95 ± 5; 16. The side effects of chemotherapy drugs received before administration have not yet recovered, defined as not regressing to level 0/1 of the National Cancer Institute's Common Terminology Standard for Adverse Events (NCI-CTCAE v5.0), or at the level specified in the inclusion/
