AUTOLOGOUS MARROW TRANSPLANTATION FOR MULTIPLE MYELEMAL

本项目将评估自体骨髓移植， 多发性骨髓瘤患者。 初步研究将使用 白消安和环磷酰胺方案与未净化的骨髓， 确定该方案的毒性，以及 骨髓。 体外研究将评估几种药物的疗效。 用于骨髓净化的不同技术包括泼尼松， 单克隆抗体与补体和阳性选择 造血前体细胞 随后的临床研究将 使用最有希望的骨髓净化来评估移植 法 未来的研究将探索不同的治疗方法 方案和移植在疾病过程中的早期， 制定治疗策略的最终目标。

This project will evaluate autologous marrow transplantation for patients with multiple myeloma. Initial studies will utilize a regimen of busulfan and cyclophosphamide with unpurged marrow to determine toxicity of the regimen, and repopulating ability of the marrow. In vitro studies will evaluate the efficacy of several different techniques for marrow purging including prednisone, monoclonal antibodies with complement and positive selection of hematopoietic precursor cells. Subsequent, clinical studies will evaluate engraftment using the most promising marrow purging technique. Future studies will explore different treatment regimens and transplantation earlier in the disease course with the ultimate goal of developing curative strategies.
