Summary

This trial is comparing two treatments for patients undergoing stem cell transplants. One treatment uses melphalan alone, while the other combines melphalan with bortezomib. Melphalan damages cancer cell DNA, and bortezomib disrupts protein breakdown in cancer cells, aiming to improve treatment outcomes. Bortezomib and melphalan have been used together in various studies to treat multiple myeloma, showing improved results.

Trial Design

2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Group I: Treatment Arm BExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Bortezomib: Bortezomib is administered by rapid I.V. push (over 3-5 seconds) via a central or peripheral vein into a flowing saline line. Bortezomib will be administered any time on day -4 and at least 20 hrs after the start of the melphalan infusion on day -1.
Group II: Treatment AActive Control1 Intervention
Melphalan is administered at a dose of 200mg/m2 by rapid intravenous infusion via a central or peripheral vein over 30 minutes to one hour. Melphalan will be given as a single dose (not split over 2 or more days) and given on day-1. Dosing will be based on body surface area calculated using actual body weight Stem cell infusion: Stem cell infusion will occur on day 0 and will be at least 20 hours after the infusion of melphalan. The infusion of peripheral blood stem cells will be done in accordance with the Blood and Marrow Transplant program standard operating procedures. Filgrastim will be administered at a dose of 5 mcg/kg (rounded to vial size) every other day starting on day+3 then daily starting on day 9 until engraftment (at least).
