Summary

RATIONALE: Antibodies, such as human immune globulin, can block the growth of abnormal cells in different ways. Some block the ability of abnormal cells to grow and spread. Others find abnormal cells and help kill them or carry cell-killing substances to them. Giving human immune globulin may be effective in treating patients with primary amyloidosis that is causing heart dysfunction. PURPOSE: This phase I/II trial is studying the side effects and best dose of human immune globulin and to see how well it works in treating patients with primary amyloidosis that is causing heart dysfunction.
