A Phase IIA Open-Label, Randomized, Pharmacokinetic Comparative, Cross-Over Study of Melphalan HCL for Injection (Propylene Glycol-Free) and Alkeran for Injection for Myeloablative Conditioning in Multiple Myeloma Patients Undergoing Autologous Transplantation
This study will be a multicenter, open-label, randomized, comparative, cross-over study of
high-dose Melphalan HCl for Injection (Propylene Glycol-Free) and Alkeran for Injection
conducted in 24 patients who have symptomatic MM and qualify for ASCT.
During the Study Period, patients will be randomized to receive 100mg/m2 of either Melphalan
HCl for Injection (Propylene Glycol-Free) or Alkeran for Injection on Day -3 and the
alternate drug product on Day -2. Blood samples for pharmacokinetic (PK) evaluation will be
withdrawn through an indwelling i.v. cannula each day of melphalan dosing (Day -3 and Day
-2).
Following one day of rest after the myeloablative conditioning (Day -1), patients will
receive an autologous graft.
