Stem Cell Transplantation To Treat High Risk Multiple Myeloma With Reduced Toxicity Myeloablative Conditioning Regimen

Allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation For The Treatment Of High Risk Multiple Myeloma With Reduced Toxicity Myeloablative Conditioning Regimen

Standard therapy for multiple myeloma (MM) usually includes an autologous bone marrow stem cell transplant - a procedure where the patient is treated with high dose chemotherapy and then their own (autologous) stem cells are transplanted back into their body. Patients with multiple myeloma and high risk genes, always relapse after an autologous transplant and often die within two years from the time of their transplant. A different type of transplant allogeneic) using donor cells, may work better for high-risk Multiple Myeloma, because the donor cells may help kill the lymphoid cancer cells.

This study will investigate if a matched donor stem cell transplant using a newer, reduced toxicity, chemotherapy (Flu-Bu4) is a feasible option for patients with high risk, Multiple Myeloma.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: Flu-Bu4
Fludarabine Busulfan chemotherapy regimen(Flu-Bu4), followed by allogeneic stem cell transplant from best available, matched donor.
  • Fludarabine: 40 mg/m2/day in NS, administered IV over 30 minutes on days -5, -4, -3, and -2 pre-transplant.
  • Busulfan: 3.2 mg/kg IV daily in NS over 4 hours on days -5, -4, -3, and -2.

The Fludarabine shall be administered prior to the Busulfan each day.

Allogeneic, peripheral blood stem cell transplant

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
The Percentage of Patients Alive 1 Year Post Transplant
Time Frame: 1 Year
The primary objective is overall survival, one year from the time of transplant.
1 Year

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
The Percentage of Patients Free From Progression at 1 Year
Time Frame: 1 Year

One of the secondary outcomes that will be measured is progression free survival at 1 Year.

Progressive Disease (PD) is defined as a >25% increase in serum monoclonal paraprotein, a >25% increase in 24-hour urinary light chain excretion, a >25% increase in plasma cells in bone marrow aspirate, an increase in the size or the development of new bone lesions/soft tissue plasmacytomas, or the development of hypercalcemia.

1 Year
Percentage of Patients With Treatment Related Mortality (TRM)
Time Frame: 100 days, one-year
100 days, one-year
Percentage of Patients With Acute and Chronic Graft Versus Host Disease (GVHD)
Time Frame: 100 days, 2 years

Incidence of acute (Stage II-IV and Stage III-IV) and chronic GVHD (any stage) were analyzed.

Acute GVHD Grading:

Stage II - Skin, 25-50% BSA (Body Surface Area); Liver, 3.1-6mg/dl bilirubin; Gut, 1000-1500ml/day diarrhea Stage III - Skin, generalized erythroderma; Liver, 6.1-15mg/dl bilirubin; Gut, >1500ml/day diarrhea Stage IV - Skin, bullae; Liver, >15mg/dl bilirubin; Gut, pain +/- ileus

100 days, 2 years
Non Relapse Mortality (NRM) at 1 Year and 3 yearsThe Percentage of Deaths Not Attributable to Disease Relapse or Progression
Time Frame: 3 years
Non relapse mortality, defined as the percentage of deaths not attributable to disease relapse or progression at 1 year and at 3 years.
3 years
