Brief Summary: RATIONALE Chemoprotective agents may protect normal cells from the side effects of chemotherapy Ice chips or saline mouth rinse may lessen the severity or help prevent symptoms of mucositis or mouth sores in patients receiving melphalan and autologous stem cell transplant for multiple myeloma It is not yet known whether ice chips are more effective than saline mouth rinse in reducing or preventing mucositis

PURPOSE This randomized phase III trial is studying ice chips to see how well they work compared to saline mouth rinse in reducing or preventing mucositis in patients receiving melphalan and autologous stem cell transplant for multiple myeloma
Detailed Description: OBJECTIVES

Compare the efficacy of administering ice chips vs room temperature normal saline oral rinse before during and after melphalan administration in terms of reducing or eliminating grade 3 or 4 oral mucositis in patients undergoing autologous peripheral blood stem cell transplantation PBSCT for multiple myeloma
Compare the number of days that IV narcotic therapy is required for oral mucositis pain in patients treated with these regimens
Compare the use of IV hydration andor total parenteral nutrition after autologous PBSCT in patients treated with these regimens
Compare overall quality of life in terms of ability to eat food and drink liquids in patients treated with these regimens

OUTLINE This is a randomized pilot study Patients are stratified according to age less than 60 years vs 60 years and over Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 treatment arms

Arm I Patients receive oral ice chips 15 minutes before during and for 8 hours after melphalan infusion on day -2
Arm II Patients receive room temperature normal saline oral rinses over 30 seconds 15 minutes before during and for 8 hours after melphalan infusion on day -2

All patients undergo autologous peripheral blood stem cell transplantation PBSCT on day 0

NOTE Patients receive melphalan infusion and undergo autologous PBSCT on protocol FHCRC-113700

Quality of life is assessed 3 days a week for 4 weeks

After completion of study treatment patients are followed for 28 days and then periodically thereafter

PROJECTED ACCRUAL A total of 40 patients 20 per treatment arm will be accrued for this study within 18 months
