NCT00602147

Brief Summary

RATIONALE: Studying blood or mouthwash samples in the laboratory from patients receiving melphalan for cancer may help doctors learn more about changes that occur in DNA, identify biomarkers related to cancer, and help predict how patients will respond to treatment. PURPOSE: This clinical trial is studying common genetic mutations related to mucositis in patients with multiple myeloma receiving high-dose melphalan.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • Association between single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in genes that encode the melphalan transporters and development and/or severity of mucositis

    4 weeks

  • Association between SNPs in genes that influence melphalan metabolism and development and/or severity of mucositis

    4 weeks
