Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

  • Previous diagnosis of multiple myeloma (MM) based on standard criteria. Tests need not be performed within 30 days of registration.
  • Failure of at least one, but no more than four, prior systemic therapies for MM prior to registration and may not have relapsed or progressed within 1 year following autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. Repeat courses of the same therapeutic regimen separated in time by 6 or more months are considered separate therapies. Induction therapy followed by high dose chemotherapy and autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation counts as one therapy.
  • Measurable serum and/or urine M-protein
  • Disease progression or relapse, since most recent therapy for multiple myeloma
  • Age \> 18 years old and \< 75 years old
  • ECOG performance status of 0 or 1
  • Females of child-bearing potential must have a negative serum bHCG test and be willing to use effective contraception (i.e., a hormonal contraceptive, intra-uterine device, diaphragm with spermicide, condom with spermicide, or abstinence) for the duration of the trial
  • Negative test results for current/active infection with HIV-1, HIV-2, HTLV-1, HTLV-2, hepatitis B, and hepatitis C within 30 days of registration (Antibody, antigen, and nucleic acid tests acceptable, depending on institutional standards)

  • White blood count (WBC) \>= 3,000/mm3 and absolute neutrophil count (ANC) \> 1000/mm3
  • Platelet count \> 75,000/mm3
  • Corrected serum calcium \< 11 mg/dL, and no evidence of symptomatic hypercalcemia. (Corrected serum calcium is calculated by adding 0.8 mg/dL to the measured serum calcium for every 1 g/dL that the serum albumin falls below 4.0 g/dL)
  • Serum total bilirubin and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) \< 2.0 times the upper limit of normal
  • Serum creatinine \< 2.5 mg/dL
  • Serum human anti-mouse antibody (HAMA) titer undetectable or within the normal range, and no history of allergies to mice or murine (mouse) proteins
