Chemotherapy Plus Bone Marrow Transplantation in Treating Patients With Refractory Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma, Hodgkin's Disease, or Multiple Myeloma Clinical Trials Information presented on Clinical Trials Search is not intended to be a substitute for qualified health advice, trips or treatment by using a genuine doctor. We aren't doctors. Always consult your mD on Chemotherapy Plus Bone Marrow Transplantation in Treating Patients With Refractory Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma, Hodgkin's Disease, or Multiple Myeloma conditions. Clinical Trials Search.org is a site committed to listing clinical research studies in human subjects. Chemotherapy Plus Bone Marrow Transplantation in Treating Patients With Refractory Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma, Hodgkin's Disease, or Multiple Myeloma Clinical research trials and Chemotherapy Plus Bone Marrow Transplantation in Treating Patients With Refractory Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma, Hodgkin's Disease, or Multiple Myeloma health trials take place in a lot of of cities across the US. A clinical trial or clinical study is a research project with human volunteer subjects. Clinical drug trials and pharmaceutical clinical trials generally measure the potency of new drugs. The aim of the studies / projects is to answer specific human medical questions. Clinical trials are a popular manner for physicians, government agencies, and private sector corporations to discover remedies for all kinds of circumstances, like Chemotherapy Plus Bone Marrow Transplantation in Treating Patients With Refractory Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma, Hodgkin's Disease, or Multiple Myeloma. Chemotherapy Plus Bone Marrow Transplantation in Treating Patients With Refractory Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma, Hodgkin's Disease, or Multiple Myeloma Clinical Trials and other clinical trials allow for volunteers to have health treatment alternatives before they are available to the general public. Many times the test subjects obtain treatment for without cost, and occasionally they are paid for their time. Sometimes there is a cost for a Chemotherapy Plus Bone Marrow Transplantation in Treating Patients With Refractory Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma, Hodgkin's Disease, or Multiple Myeloma clinical trial. Subjects oftentimes recieve the most effective healthcare possible for their Chemotherapy Plus Bone Marrow Transplantation in Treating Patients With Refractory Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma, Hodgkin's Disease, or Multiple Myeloma condition. Hazards are a reality, however, and could include additional or frequent doctor visits, healthcare dangers (perhaps life-threatening), and/or the treatment being ineffective. Trials are federally governed with exacting guidelines to protect clinical trials subjects.

Synopsis: RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Combining bone marrow transplantation with chemotherapy may allow doctors to give higher doses of chemotherapy and kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of bone marrow transplantation plus chemotherapy in treating patients who have refractory non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, Hodgkin's lymphoma, or multiple myeloma.
Details: OBJECTIVES: I. Assess the toxicities, response rate, and duration of response associated with high-dose cyclophosphamide, etoposide, carmustine or high-dose cyclophosphamide and total-body irradiation followed by autologous, allogeneic, or syngeneic bone marrow transplant in patients with refractory or high-risk non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, Hodgkin's disease, or multiple myeloma. II. Evaluate any prognostic factors. PROTOCOL OUTLINE: Patients with prior radiotherapy (greater than 2,000 cGy) receive cyclophosphamide IV over 2 hours and etoposide IV over at least 30 minutes on days -7 through -4 followed by carmustine IV over 2 hours on day -3. Patients receive allogeneic or autologous bone marrow transplantation on day 0. Patients with or without prior radiotherapy (less than 2,000 cGy) receive cyclophosphamide IV over 2 hours on days -8 through -5 followed by total body irradiation on days -4 through -1. Patients receive allogeneic or autologous bone marrow transplantation on day 0. Prior to autologous bone marrow transplantation and following myeloablative chemotherapy, patients undergo mobilization consisting of cytarabine subcutaneously every 12 hours for 6 doses. Approximately 24 hours later, patients receive sargramostim (GM-CSF) subcutaneously. Peripheral blood stem cells are collected every 1-3 days beginning when blood counts recover and continuing until sufficient number of cells are reached. PROJECTED ACCRUAL: Approximately 40 patients will be accrued for this study.
