简要总结

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as melphalan, arsenic trioxide, and ascorbic acid, work in different ways to stop cancer cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Arsenic trioxide and ascorbic acid may also help melphalan kill more cancer cells by making them more sensitive to the drugs.

PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well giving melphalan together with arsenic trioxide and ascorbic acid works in treating patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma.

详细描述

OBJECTIVES:

Primary

  • Determine the time to progression in patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma (MM) treated with melphalan, arsenic trioxide, and ascorbic acid.
  • Determine the response rate (combined complete response, partial response, and minimal response) in patients treated with this regimen.
  • Determine the safety and tolerability of this regimen in these patients.

Secondary

  • Determine the time to response and overall survival of patients treated with this regimen.
  • Determine the effects of this regimen on renal failure associated with MM in these patients.
