Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
The study involves the use of a targeted form of radiation, in addition to standard high dose chemotherapy and stem cell transplant for multiple myeloma. The use of targeted radiation is designed to kill more multiple myeloma cells while avoiding the side effects of standard radiation. This type of targeted radiation (also known as radioimmunotherapy) has been approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of a related disease, lymphoma under the trade name, Zevalin©. Zevalin© has been added to high dose chemotherapy and stem cell transplants for patients with lymphoma and is now being studied in this clinical trial for patients with multiple myeloma. This trial is only available at Tufts Medical Center. The proposed clinical trial will test whether CD20-targeted radio-immunotherapy can be safe and effective when integrated into a standard regimen of myeloablative chemotherapy and autologous stem cell rescue in patients with measurable disease prior to high dose chemotherapy and autologous stem cell transplant for multiple myeloma.

- 1.5mg of 111In Zevalin (containing 5 mCi of 111In) will be used for radioimaging on study day +1. 90Y Zevalin will be administered seven to nine days after 111In Zevalin administration. The dose of 90Y Zevalin will be 0.4 mCi/kg, capped at a maximum dose of 32 mCi.

- Safety and Efficacy
- timeFrame
- Through day +104 following immunotherapy
- description
- Efficacy: objective response rate (CR + PR) at 12 and 104 days following radioimmunotherapy. Safety: the rate of occurrence of defined toxic events including non-engraftment and unacceptable biodistribution of 90Y Zevalin occurring by day +42 following transplant. Response determined according to Blade' Criteria (Bladé J, Br J Haematol.1998 Sep;102(5):1115-23) for multiple myeloma; Response based on reduction of monoclonal protein (M-protein) from initial presentation.
