PURPOSE Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of combining O6-benzylguanine with carmustine in treating patients who have previously untreated refractory or relapsing multiple myeloma
Detailed Description: OBJECTIVES
Evaluate the efficacy of O6-benzylguanine combined with carmustine in patients with previously untreated or refractory multiple myeloma Assess the effects of O6-benzylguanine on bone marrow myeloma cells in this patient population
OUTLINE Patients receive O6-benzylguanine IV over 60 minutes followed 1 hour later by carmustine IV over 60 minutes Courses repeat every 6 weeks in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity Patients receive 2 additional courses beyond attainment of best response partial or complete response or stable or plateau disease
