UARK 98-026 with relapsed or progressive disease after at least one autologous
transplant.

M-protein level > or =1.0 gm/dl (10.0 g/L) measured by serum protein electrophoresis
or immunoglobulin electrophoresis b. Urinary M-protein excretion > or =200 mg/24 hrs
c. Bone marrow plasmacytosis of > or =30% by bone marrow aspirate and/or biopsy d.

mg/dl.
- Patients must have adequate hepatic function defined as serum transaminases and
direct bilirubin < or =2 x the upper limit of normal.
