Study Summary

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy work in different ways to stop the growth of plasma cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Having a peripheral stem cell transplant to replace the blood-forming cells destroyed by chemotherapy, allows higher dose of chemotherapy to be given so that more plasma cells are killed. Giving a chemoprotective drug such as amifostine may protect kidney cells from the side effects of chemotherapy. PURPOSE: This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of melphalan given together with amifostine in treating patients who are undergoing peripheral stem cell transplant for primary systemic amyloidosis.

Primary Outcome

The maximum tolerated dose is the highest dose level at which fewer than 1 of 3 or 2 of 6 patients experience dose-limiting toxicity, defined as any grade 3 or higher toxicity of any of the following: renal failure, alkaline phosphatase elevation, GI bleeding, and cardiac rhythm disturbances, assessed using NCI Common Toxicity Criteria, version 2.0.

Interventions

  • DRUG melphalan
  • PROCEDURE peripheral blood stem cell transplantation
  • BIOLOGICAL filgrastim
  • DRUG amifostine trihydrate
  • PROCEDURE bone marrow ablation with stem cell support
