Brief Summary

RATIONALE: Bortezomib may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as doxorubicin and dexamethasone, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving more than one drug (combination chemotherapy) together with bortezomib may kill more cancer cells. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well giving bortezomib together with doxorubicin and dexamethasone works in treating patients with multiple myeloma that has relapsed or not responded to treatment. PATIENT POPULATION: Patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma requiring therapy will be invited to participate in this study. Eligible patients will be \>18 years old and able to give fully informed consent. Patients must have a Performance Score (PS) of 0-3 (ECOG), measurable serum and/or urine paraprotein, or serum free light chain, bilirubin value of less than one and a half times the upper limit of normal with ALT/AST values less than two and a half times the upper limit of normal. Patients with non-secretory multiple myeloma are excluded from this study.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Response rate (complete and partial response)

    Patients will be followed in this study for approximately 16 months after recruitment to cover the period of PAD therapy plus one year follow up. The minimum frequency of reviews will be every two months.

Secondary Outcomes (3)

  • Progression-free survival

    Patients will be followed in this study for approximately 16 months after recruitment to cover the period of PAD therapy plus one year follow up. The minimum frequency of reviews will be every two months.

  • Overall survival

    Patients will be followed in this study for approximately 16 months after recruitment to cover the period of PAD therapy plus one year follow up. The minimum frequency of reviews will be every two months.

  • Compare original response to vincristine, doxorubicin, and dexamethasone with response to bortezomib, doxorubicin hydrochloride, and dexamethasone

    Patients will be followed in this study for approximately 16 months after recruitment to cover the period of PAD therapy plus one year follow up. The minimum frequency of reviews will be every two months.

Study Arms (3)

1

EXPERIMENTAL

Relapsed patients, previously treated with VAD or VAD like regimen (VAMP, C-VAMP and Z-Dex are examples of VAD like therapy) and who have had autologous transplants at least 1 year previously.Patients may proceed directly to PAD therapy or have had a maximum of one other line of therapy before PAD.

Drug: BortezomibDrug: DoxorubicinDrug: Dexamethasone

2

EXPERIMENTAL

Relapsed patients, previously treated with VAD or VAD-like regimen who have not had autologous transplantation and achieved at least PR (Appendix A). Patients may proceed directly to PAD therapy or have had a maximum of two other lines of therapy before PAD.

Drug: BortezomibDrug: DoxorubicinDrug: Dexamethasone

3

EXPERIMENTAL

Patients refractory (MR, NC or PD) to VAD or VAD-like therapy. Patients should proceed directly to PAD therapy. Patients with NC or PD may proceed to PAD after a minimum of two cycles of VAD or VAD-like therapy or a minimum of 4 cycles, if MR.

Drug: BortezomibDrug: DoxorubicinDrug: Dexamethasone
