Bone Marrow Transplantation in Treating Patients With Multiple Myeloma, Chronic Phase Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia, or Agnogenic Myeloid Metaplasia

June 8, 2012 updated by: Northwestern University

Allogeneic Bone Marrow Transplantation for Patients With Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia in the Chronic Phase or Multiple Myeloma

RATIONALE: Bone marrow transplantation may be able to replace immune cells that were destroyed by the chemotherapy or radiation therapy that was used to kill cancer cells.

PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of allogeneic bone marrow transplantation in treating patients who have multiple myeloma, chronic phase chronic myelogenous leukemia, or agnogenic myeloid metaplasia.

Detailed Description

OBJECTIVES:

  • Determine the efficacy of allogeneic bone marrow transplantation (BMT) following high-dose cyclophosphamide and total body irradiation in patients with multiple myeloma, agnogenic myeloid metaplasia, or chronic myelogenous leukemia in first or second chronic phase.
  • Determine the efficacy of BMT following busulfan and cyclophosphamide in these patients.
  • Determine the toxic effects of these preparative regimens in these patients.

OUTLINE: Patients are stratified by remission (first vs second vs third).

Patients who have not undergone prior radiotherapy receive cyclophosphamide IV on days -6 and -5 and then undergo total body irradiation twice a day on days -4 to -1. Allogeneic bone marrow is infused on day 0.

Patients who have undergone prior radiotherapy receive oral busulfan every 6 hours on days -7 to -4 or -6 to -3 and cyclophosphamide IV over 2 hours on days -3 and -2. Allogeneic bone marrow is infused on day 0.

Patients are followed at days 30 and 90, at 6 months, and then annually thereafter.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 20-30 patients will be accrued for this study within 2 years.
