Tandem Auto-/Nonmyeloablative Allo-HCT and Maintenance Therapy for Multiple Myeloma
Summary
This phase II trial studies the side-effects and anti-cancer effects of giving an autologous or syngeneic stem cell transplant followed by an allogeneic donor stem cell transplant and bortezomib. Patients treated on this trial have newly diagnosed high-risk, relapsed, or refractory multiple myeloma (MM). Giving chemotherapy before an autologous stem cell transplant slows or stops the growth of cancer cells by preventing them from dividing or killing them. Stem cells that were harvested earlier from the patient's blood and frozen are then returned to the patient to replace the blood-forming cells that were destroyed by chemotherapy. Giving chemotherapy and total-body irradiation before an allogeneic donor stem cell transplant also prevents the patient's immune system from rejecting the donor's stem cells. Undergoing an autologous or syngeneic stem cell transplantation followed by an allogeneic donor stem cell transplant and bortezomib may be overall more effective in killing cancer cells.
