Brief Summary
This is a phase 2 study of perifosine in patients with multiple myeloma. Patients will receive perifosine 150 mg at bedtime (qhs) daily. Patients will be assessed by serum and/or urine-electrophoresis at least every 3 weeks.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Response rate (the combined CR + PR + MR) with treatment perifosine
To determine the response rate (the combined Complete Response (CR) + Partial Response (PR) + Minor Response (MR) following treatment with perifosine in patients with multiple myeloma who have relapsed following Initial front-line therapy and are refractory to their most recent therapy.
Every 3 weeks
Secondary Outcomes (3)
Response rate (CR + PR + MR) with combination therapy
Every 3 weeks
Assess the safety and tolerability of perifosine alone and in combination
Every 3 weeks
Obtain correlative data in patients with multiple myeloma treated with perifosine and in combination
Every 3 weeks
Study Arms (2)
Perifosine daily
EXPERIMENTALPatients will take three 50 mg tablets of perifosine daily at bedtime with food. Patients will be examined every three weeks. If patients have no progression it is allowed to receive 8 cycles of perifosine
Perifosine daily + Dexa twice per week
EXPERIMENTALPatients will take three 50 mg tablets of perifosine daily at bedtime with food until progression. If progressive disease is confirmed by a second measurement at least one week later the patient will receive a combination of 20 mg twice per week dexamethasone (dexa) and 150 mg perifosine daily at bedtime.
Interventions
100 - 150 mg daily
Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Major criteria:
- Plasmacytomas on tissue biopsy.
- Bone marrow plasmacytosis (\> 30% plasma cells).
- Monoclonal immunoglobulin spike on serum electrophoresis immunoglobulin G (IgG) \> 3.5 g/dL or immunoglobulin A (IgA) \> 2.0 g/dL; kappa or lambda light chain excretion \> 1 g/day on 24 hour urine protein electrophoresis.
- Minor criteria:
- Bone marrow plasmacytosis (10 to 30% plasma cells)
- Monoclonal immunoglobulin present but of lesser magnitude than given under major criteria
- Lytic bone lesions
- Normal immunoglobulin M (IgM) \< 50 mg/dL, IgA \< 100 mg/dL or IgG \< 600 mg/dL.
- Any of the following sets of criteria will confirm the diagnosis of multiple myeloma:
- Any two of the major criteria.
- Major criterion 1 plus minor criterion b, c or d.
- Major criterion 3 plus minor criterion a or c.
- Minor criteria a, b and c or a, b and d.
You may not qualify if:
- Renal insufficiency (serum creatinine levels \> 3 mg/dL).
- Patients who present with either ALT or AST ≥ 2.5 X upper limit of normal.
- History of allergic reactions attributed to compounds of similar chemical or biologic composition to perifosine (miltefosine or edelfosine).
- Concomitant therapy medications that include corticosteroids (except as indicated for other medical conditions, or up to 100 mgs of hydrocortisone as premedication for administration of certain medications or blood products) or other chemotherapy that is or may be active against myeloma, or therapy with chemotherapy within 3 weeks prior to Day 1. Nitrosoureas must be discontinued 6 weeks prior to Day 1.
- Subjects with a hemoglobin \< 8.0 g/dL.
- Any condition, including laboratory abnormalities, that in the opinion of the Investigator, places the subject at unacceptable risk if he/she were to participate in the study.
- Women of childbearing potential (WCBP) who are pregnant, or breast-feeding or men and women who are not using adequate contraception are excluded.
- Plasma cell leukemia.
