Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy such as melphalan work in different ways to stop cancer cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Combining chemotherapy with donor peripheral stem cell transplantation may allow the doctor to give higher doses of chemotherapy drugs and kill more cancer cells. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well giving melphalan together with autologous stem cell transplantation works in treating patients with multiple myeloma or primary systemic amyloidosis.

- MM Induction: dexamethasone 20mg/d PO Days 1-4, 9-12 and 17-20 every 35 days for 2 cycles and thalidomide 200 mg/d PO Days 1-70. Mobilization and SC Collection: MM, MM+AL, MM+LCD: cyclophosphamide 2.5 gm/m2 IV Day 1; mesna 800 mg/m2 IV Day 1 x 3 doses; G-CSF 10 mcg/kg/d SQ Day 2 through day prior to last leukapheresis. Amyloid or LCDD-Only: G-CSF 16 mcg/kg/d SQ Days 1-3 (continued daily until the day prior to the last day of stem cell collection). Conditioning/Transplant - Modified HighDose Melphalan (given for both transplants): melphalan 100 mg/m2/d IV over 20 mins Day -2; PBSC infusion \>/= 3.5 x 10\^6 CD34+ cells/kg IV Day 0. Maintenance (MM only): dexamethasone 40 mg/d PO Days 1-4 every 28 days and thalidomide 100 mg/d PO daily - given for one year, followed by dexamethasone 40 mg/d PO Days 1-4 every 28 days and thalidomide 100 mg/d PO daily - given for one year.
