Spots Global Cancer Trial Database for Repeated HBO Therapy in Myeloma Patients Undergoing High-Dose Therapy and Auto-HCT

Study Description

Brief Summary: Subjects with multiple myeloma (MM) who are considered eligible for high-dose therapy and autologous stem cell transplantation by the transplant team at WCI will be enrolled in the study.

Detailed Description: Subjects with multiple myeloma (MM) who are considered eligible for high-dose therapy and autologous stem cell transplantation by the transplant team at WCI will be enrolled in the study. Subjects will receive HBO therapy on Days 0, +1 and +2 of the transplant. The treatment consists of exposure to hyperbaric oxygen at 2.5 atmospheric absolutes for a total of 90 minutes after compression to 2.5 atmosphere absolutes in a monoplace hyperbaric chamber (Model 3200/3200R, Sechrist Industries, Inc., USA), breathing 100% oxygen. Subjects will be in the chamber for a total of 120 minutes as approximately 10-15 minutes will be spent during the compression and decompression phases and subjects will have 5-10 minute room air breaks every 30 minutes of hyperbaric oxygen treatment. Subjects will be seen daily until neutrophil recovery is documented . After neutrophil recovery is documented, the subjects will be seen in clinic at least weekly through day +100. A final visit will be scheduled day +100. As part of routine care, subjects will be followed daily or as directed by the treating physician until neutrophil recovery, defined as three consecutive days of achieving a neutrophil count of \>500/mm3. Laboratory testing will occur per institutional guidelines. Follow-up will continue until Day +100. Donor chimerism and disease status will be determined by bone marrow biopsy on Day +30 and day +100 post-transplant.
