This report describes the clinical characteristics, treatment associated toxicity, and follow-up of fifty-eight patients with plasma cell--dyscrasias treated with high dose chemotherapy and total body irradiation (TBI) at a single institution. Following TBI, 36 patients received anti-B cell monoclonal antibody (MoAb)-treated autologous bone marrow, 21 patients received anti-CD6 cell MoAb-treated allogeneic bone marrow to deplete T cells, and one patient received unpurged bone marrow from a syngeneic donor. Evaluation after high dose chemotherapy and bone marrow transplantation (BMT) demonstrated 26 complete responses (CR), 26 partial responses (PR), 2 non-responders, 1 not yet evaluated, and three toxic deaths. Fourteen of 36 patients who underwent autologous BMT are alive free from progression at 18 (range 5 to 68) months post transplant (post-BMT); of these, 11 remain in continuous complete response at 16 (range 5 to 68) months post-BMT. Seven of 21 patients who underwent allogeneic BMT are alive free from progression at 30 (range 4 to 44) months post-BMT; of these, three patients remain in continuous complete response at 43 (range 33 to 45) months post-BMT. These data suggest that high dose chemotherapy with TBI followed by MoAb purged BM can be performed with acceptable toxicity and high tumor response rates.

D009101 Multiple Myeloma A malignancy of mature PLASMA CELLS engaging in monoclonal immunoglobulin production. It is characterized by hyperglobulinemia, excess Bence-Jones proteins (free monoclonal IMMUNOGLOBULIN LIGHT CHAINS) in the urine, skeletal destruction, bone pain, and fractures. Other features include ANEMIA; HYPERCALCEMIA; and RENAL INSUFFICIENCY.

D003131 Combined Modality Therapy The treatment of a disease or condition by several different means simultaneously or sequentially. Chemoimmunotherapy, RADIOIMMUNOTHERAPY, chemoradiotherapy, cryochemotherapy, and SALVAGE THERAPY are seen most frequently, but their combinations with each other and surgery are also used.

D003520 Cyclophosphamide Precursor of an alkylating nitrogen mustard antineoplastic and immunosuppressive agent that must be activated in the LIVER to form the active aldophosphamide. It has been used in the treatment of LYMPHOMA and LEUKEMIA. Its side effect, ALOPECIA, has been used for defleecing sheep. Cyclophosphamide may also cause sterility, birth defects, mutations, and cancer.
