Melphalan and Palifermin in Treating Patients Undergoing An Autologous Peripheral Stem Cell Transplant for Stage II or III Multiple Myeloma

NCT00482846 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: PHASE1 · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 38

Last updated 2014-04-15

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as melphalan, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Keratinocyte growth factors, such as palifermin, may help prevent symptoms of mucositis, or mouth sores, in patients receiving melphalan before a peripheral stem cell transplant for multiple myeloma.

PURPOSE: This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of melphalan when given together with palifermin in treating patients undergoing an autologous peripheral stem cell transplant for stage II or stage III multiple myeloma.
