A Phase II Study of Maintenance Treatment With Sequential Bortezomib, Thalidomide and Dexamethasone Following Autologous Peripheral Blood Stem Cell Transplant in Patients With Multiple Myeloma
In Brief
A Phase 2 clinical trial evaluating bortezomib, dexamethasone, and 8 other interventions for Multiple Myeloma and Plasma Cell Neoplasm and Neurotoxicity. Completed, enrolled 45 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
RATIONALE: Bortezomib and thalidomide may stop the growth of multiple myeloma by blocking blood flow to the cancer. Bortezomib may also stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Giving bortezomib together with thalidomide and dexamethasone may kill any cancer cells that remain after high-dose melphalan and stem cell transplant in patients with multiple myeloma. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying the side effects of giving bortezomib together with thalidomide and dexamethasone after melphalan and stem cell transplant and to see how well it works in treating patients with stage I-III multiple myeloma.

Performed on baseline and post transplant bone marrow specimens
Baseline, post transplant and prior to start of bortezomib, every 3 months post transplant for the first year, after 6 cycles of bortezomib, every year after transplant for 2-4 years.
Completed at baseline (within 6 weeks prior to enrollment) and at 2 months post transplant and once a month after that for the first year. For the second year the questionnaire will be completed every 3 months as long as on thalidomide for the duration of the study.
Minimum dose of 2 X 10(6) CD34 + cells/kg day 0 after two days of treatment with Melphalan
