Brief Summary

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Combining more than one drug may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of combination chemotherapy consisting of liposomal doxorubicin, vincristine, and dexamethasone in treating patients with newly diagnosed or previously treated multiple myeloma.

Conditions

Multiple Myeloma and Plasma Cell Neoplasm

Keywords

refractory multiple myeloma; stage I multiple myeloma; stage II multiple myeloma; stage III multiple myeloma

Interventions

dexamethasone DRUG

pegylated liposomal doxorubicin hydrochloride DRUG

vincristine sulfate DRUG

Eligibility Criteria

• Sex: all
