Busulfan Plus Melphalan Conditioning Regimen for Lymphoid Malignancies or Multiple Myeloma

Summary

Primary Objectives: 1. To determine the efficacy of administering multiple doses of intravenous (i.v.) busulfan at a dose of 130 mg/m2, to yield a systemic plasma drug exposure represented by a daily area under the plasma concentration versus time curve (AUC) of approximately 5,000 mMol-min for 4 days, followed by i.v. melphalan at a dose of 70 mg/m2 for 2 days in adult patients receiving autologous or allogeneic transplantation for lymphoid malignancies or myeloma. 2. To describe the plasma pharmacokinetic (PK) profiles of busulfan and melphalan in this regimen. 3. To determine the disease-free and overall survival of patients receiving this preparative regimen. 4. To determine the treatment-related morbidity and mortality of this combination of drugs.
