Study Summary

This trial will look at how long it takes for white blood cell counts to go back to normal in MM patients who get plinabulin & pegfilgrastim after having an AHCT.

Who is the study for?
Adults aged 18-75 with multiple myeloma undergoing autologous stem cell transplant can join this trial. They must have a good performance status, adequate organ function, and not be pregnant or planning pregnancy. Exclusions include uncontrolled conditions that affect compliance, certain heart diseases, other recent malignancies (with exceptions), recent major surgery or infection, and known allergies to specific substances.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study is testing how Plinabulin combined with Pegfilgrastim affects the recovery of white blood cells after an autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplant in multiple myeloma patients. The goal is to see if these drugs can help patients recover their immune systems faster post-transplant.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include allergic reactions due to ingredients like polysorbate 80 or Solutol HS 15/Kolliphor HS 15. Patients might also experience issues related to bone marrow suppression such as fatigue or increased risk of infections.

1Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Group I: PlinabulinExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
In this pilot study, 15 patients age 18-75 with multiple myeloma will be admitted to the hospital and treated with a single dose of high dose melphalan. Stem cell infusion will occur per institutional standard of care. Patients will then receive plinabulin 40mg flat dose IV infusion, infused over approximately 30 minutes starting between 1-3 hours after stem cell infusion on day 0. Pegfilgrastim 6mg will be administered as per standard of care on day +1.
