Brief Title: Melphalan and Autologous Stem Cell Transplant Followed By Bortezomib and Dexamethasone in Treating Patients With Previously Untreated Systemic Amyloidosis
Official Title: Risk-Adapted Intravenous Melphalan With Stem Cell Transplant and Adjuvant Bortezomib and Dexamethasone for Recently Diagnosed Untreated Patients With Systemic Light-Chain (AL) Amyloidosis
Study ID: NCT00458822
Brief Summary: The purpose of this study in patients needing treatment for AL amyloidosis is to see how well treatment with IV melphalan works and then, if some clonal plasma cells are still present about 2 to 3 months after melphalan treatment, to see how well treatment with bortezomib and dexamethasone works to reduce the rest of the clonal plasma cell disease.
