RATIONALE: Radioactive drugs, such as samarium Sm 153 lexidronam pentasodium, may carry radiation directly to cancer cells and not harm normal cells. Zoledronic acid and pamidronate may help relieve bone pain caused by multiple myeloma. Giving samarium Sm 153 lexidronam pentasodium together with zoledronic acid or pamidronate may be an effective treatment for multiple myeloma.
PURPOSE: This phase I/II trial is studying the side effects and best dose of samarium Sm 153 lexidronam pentasodium when given together with zoledronic acid or pamidronate and to see how well it works in treating patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma and bone pain.
Full description
OBJECTIVES:
Primary
Secondary
OUTLINE: This is a multicenter, open-label, pilot, phase I, dose-escalation study of samarium Sm 153 lexidronam pentasodium followed by a phase II study.
Cohorts of 3-6 patients receive escalating doses of samarium Sm 153 lexidronam pentasodium until the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) is determined. The MTD is defined as the dose preceding that at which 2 of 3 or 2 of 6 patients experience dose-limiting toxicity.
Bone pain is assessed periodically.
After completion of study treatment, patients are followed every 3-6 months for up to 3 years.
