Samarium 153 and Bortezomib in Treating Patients With Relapsed or Refractory Multiple Myeloma

Completed · Phase 1

Conditions studied: Multiple Myeloma and Plasma Cell Neoplasm

In brief

RATIONALE: Radioactive substances, such as samarium 153, may release radiation as it breaks down and kill cancer cells. Bortezomib may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Bortezomib may also make tumor cells more sensitive to radiation. Giving samarium 153 together with bortezomib may kill more cancer cells. PURPOSE: This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of samarium 153 when given together with bortezomib in treating patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma.
