Brief Summary: RATIONALE Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop cancer cells from dividing so they stop growing or die Combining chemotherapy with dexamethasone may be an effective treatment for multiple myeloma

PURPOSE Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of combining isotretinoin and dexamethasone in treating patients who have multiple myeloma
Detailed Description: OBJECTIVES I Determine the response rate and duration of response of patients with multiple myeloma treated with dexamethasone and isotretinoin II Determine the toxicity of this regimen in these patients III Correlate the changes in serum interleukin IL-6 IL-6R and C-reactive and IL-6R expression on plasma cells in the bone marrow with response in patients treated with this regimen

OUTLINE Patients receive oral dexamethasone on days 1-4 9-12 and 17-20 and oral isotretinoin daily Treatment repeats every 5 weeks for at least 2 courses in the absence of disease progression insufficient response or unacceptable toxicity Patients achieving adequate response continue treatment for 2 courses after achieving a plateau of monoclonal protein for a minimum of 6 courses total

PROJECTED ACCRUAL A total of 18-36 patients will be accrued for this study within 3 years
