- Brief Summary
Background:
The mainstay of therapy for newly diagnosed multiple myeloma patients remains systemic chemotherapy. Although partial remissions of up to 60% are obtained with conventional regimens, multiple myeloma is essentially an incurable disease with a median survival of approximately 30 months.
Allogeneic stem cell transplantation (SCT) results in a high percentage of complete remissions, but it can be associated with significant treatment-related mortality, which has been primarily attributed to conventional myeloablative transplant regimens.
Recent clinical studies have shown that highly immunosuppressive yet non-myeloablative doses of fludarabine-based chemotherapy can result in alloengraftment. Even with a reduction in treatment related mortality, success with allogeneic SCT is limited by a significant risk of relapse.
Donor immunization with myeloma Id in the setting of a non-myeloablative allogeneic SCT may represent a novel strategy for the treatment of multiple myeloma.
Objectives:
Primary Objectives:
To induce cellular and humoral immunity in allogeneic stem cell donors and recipients against the unique idiotype expressed by the recipient's myeloma.
To determine whether antigen-specific immunity, induced in the stem cell donor, can be passively transferred to the allogeneic SCT recipient in the setting of a non-myeloablative conditioning regimen.
Secondary Objectives:
To evaluate the effect of the Fludarabine-(etoposide, doxorubicin, vincristine, prednisone, cyclophosphamide) EPOCH regimen on host T cell depletion and myeloid depletion prior to allogeneic SCT.
To determine the efficacy of a novel conventional chemotherapy regimen (Fludarabine-EPOCH) in the setting multiple myeloma.
To determine the treatment-related morbidity and mortality of allogeneic stem cell transplantation using a non-myeloablative conditioning regimen in multiple myeloma.
To determine if the re-vaccination of allogeneic stem cell donors with the unique idiotype expressed by the recipient's myeloma will enhance cellular and humoral immunity to patient specific-idiotype prior to lymphocyte donation for the treatment of patients with recurrent or progressive disease after transplantation.
Eligibility:
Patients 18-75 years of age with Immunoglobulin G (IgG) or Immunoglobulin A (IgA) multiple myeloma.
Patients must have achieved at least a partial remission following initial conventional chemotherapy regimen or after autologous stem cell transplantation.
Consenting first degree relative matched at 6/6 or 5/6 human leukocyte antigen (HLA) antigens.
Design:
Phase 2 trial using a non-myeloablative conditioning regimen to reduce treatment-related toxicity.
Recipient will undergo a plasmapheresis to obtain starting material for the isolation of idiotype
protein. Donors would be immunized with an Id vaccine prepared from the patient.
Prior to transplantation patients would receive a conventional chemotherapy regimen which contains agents active in myeloma and is T cell depleting. The allogeneic SCT would be performed with a conditioning regimen consisting of cyclophosphamide and fludarabine. The stem cell source would be blood mobilized with filgrastim. Recipients will be immunized with the Id vaccine following transplantation.

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Immune Response 105 days Immune cell depletion is defined as immunosuppression of participants T cells prior to transplant measured by cluster of differentiation 4 (CD4) counts (i.e. cells) \> 50 cells per ul.Immune T-cell depletion helps to reduce the ability to reject allogeneic cells in participants and is required for engraftment. Engraftment is the body's ability to accept donor cells.
