Key inclusion & exclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria:

DISEASE CHARACTERISTICS:

- Histologically confirmed AL amyloidosis

- Persistent or recurrent disease after 1 course of prior high-dose chemotherapy

- Previously treated with autologous stem cell transplantation

- Significant initial improvement in organ function after prior high-dose melphalan,
defined by at least 1 of the following:

- Complete hematologic remission (e.g., absence of monoclonal spike by
immunofixation in serum and urine AND less then 5% plasma cells in bone marrow
with no clonal predominance) OR partial hematologic response (e.g., any decrease
in serum or urine monoclonal protein OR decrease in bone marrow plasmacytosis)

- Greater than 50% reduction in proteinuria with preservation of creatinine
clearance

- Greater than 50% reduction in alkaline phosphatase OR at least 2 cm decrease in
liver size by physical exam

- Subjective neurologic improvement, as confirmed by neurologist

- Cardiac stabilization of disease confirmed by echocardiography defined as less
than 2 mm increase in mean wall thickness and/or less than 20 g increase in left
ventricular mass

- Improvement in performance status* NOTE: *This criteria alone does not constitute
significant improvement in organ function

- Prior stem cell yield must have been = 2 x 10^6 CD34+ cells/kg
