Key inclusion & exclusion criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

- Patient must be less than 70 years old

- Patients with advanced Multiple Myeloma that meet the eligibility requirements for
mobilization/debulking with Cytoxan/VP-16/G-CSF, Cytoxan/Taxol/G-CSF, or
Cytoxan/G-CSF (according to protocol 506.03); if clinically indicated a lower dose of
cytoxan than 4g/m2 may be used for mobilization based on the attending's discretion;
also, if the patients had previously collected PBSC of sufficient number in the past
and meet the other eligibility requirements, they may be entered on this study after
approval by the PI

- Patients with advanced Multiple Myeloma that have an identical syngeneic twin for
donation of PBSCs

- Patients have advanced Multiple Myeloma if they were diagnosed initially with stage
II or III disease or had stage I disease that progressed after initial therapy or
failed to respond to therapy

- Syngeneic Donor Inclusion:

- Donor and patient have adequate documentation that donor and recipient are
syngeneic; including ABO typing, HLA typing and VNTR studies

- Donor > 20 kg

- Donor meets eligibility to donate according to Standard Practice Guidelines

Exclusion Criteria:

- Patient's age >= 70

- Karnofsky score less than 80

- A left ventricular ejection fraction less than 50%; Patients with congestive heart
disease, history of myocardial infarction (MI), coronary artery disease or any
arrhythmia history

- Total bilirubin > 1.5 mg/ml (unless history of Gilbert's disease)

- Serum glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase (SGOT) or serum glutamic pyruvic transaminase
(SGPT) > 2 x upper limit of normal

- Estimated creatinine clearance < 60 ml/min or creatinine serum > 2.0 mg/dl

- Pregnancy

- Seropositivity for human immunodeficiency virus

60%, and/or forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1) < 65% of predicted
