Eligible patients will receive up to 3 Melphalan/HDS treatments. Each treatment cycle consists of 6 weeks with an acceptable delay for another 2 weeks before next planned treatment. The Melphalan/HDS treatment will be terminated in patients with progressive disease (PD), complete response (CR), and \> 8 weeks delay of recovery from toxicity after last PHP treatment.
