Protocol therapy consists of a remission induction phase with mutually non-cross resistant combinations of vincristine, adriamycin, dexamethasone (VAD), high-dose cyclophosphamide with stem cell procurement and etoposide, dexamethasone, cytarabine, cisplatin (EDAP) followed by two courses of melphalan-based high-dose therapy supported by autologous stem cell transplants 4-6 months apart. Maintenance with interferon alpha will be administered until disease progression.

3 Cycles (3rd cycle optional): Vincristine 0.5 mg/d d 1 - 4 CI Adriamycin 10 mg/m2/d d 1 - 4 CI Dexamethasone 40 mg/d d 1-4, 9-12, 17-20

Approximately 5-6 weeks after VAD 2 or 3:

Cytoxan 1.2g/m2/d d 1 - 5 Mesna 3.6 g/m2 d 1

High-Dose cyclophosphamide

Hemopoietic stem cell procurement

Approximately 5-6 weeks after high-dose cyclophosphamide Etoposide 100 mg/m2/d d 1 - 4 CI Cisplatin 25 mg/m2/d d 1 - 4 CI Ara C l g/m2 d 5 Dexamethasone 40 mg d 1-5

EDAP

4-6 weeks after EDAP: Melphalan 100 mg/m2 days -1 and -2

Autologous Hemopoietic Stem Cell Transplant 1

4-6 months after Transplant 1: Melphalan 100 mg/m2 days -1 and -2

Autologous Hemopoietic Stem Cell Transplant 2

3 months after Transplant 2: Intron A 3 X 10\^6 units /m2 M-W-F subcutaneously until relapse

This experimental study evaluates the effects of a series of intensive drug regimens as initial treatment for Multiple Myeloma followed by 2 bone marrow transplantations 4-6 months apart in support of high-dose Melphalan, followed by Interferon treatment indefinitely.

Phase II Study of Intensive "TOTAL THERAPY" for Untreated or Minimally Treated Patients With Multiple Myeloma

Relapse is defined by the unequivocal objective evidence of recurrent disease such as:

myeloma-related cytogenetic abnormalities; bone marrow plasmacytosis \>10% or \>5% light chain restricted, non-diploid, plasma cells on clg/DNA; new skeletal or MRI lesions; hypercalcemia not explained by any other cause; or reappearance of M-protein in blood or urine not related to immune recovery, recent infection, and present for \>2 months.
