Brief Summary: RATIONALE 4-Iodo-4-deoxydoxorubicin may improve organ dysfunction and ease symptoms caused by primary systemic amyloidosis
PURPOSE Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of 4-iodo-4-deoxydoxorubicin in treating patients who have primary systemic amyloidosis
Detailed Description: OBJECTIVES I Evaluate the clinical efficacy of 4-iodo-4-deoxydoxorubicin in producing palliation of symptoms andor improvement of organ dysfunction caused by organ infiltration by amyloid in patients with primary systemic amyloidosis II Assess the safety profile with emphasis on cardiac safety of this drug in these patients III Evaluate the time to progression of amyloidosis-associated clinical symptoms andor organ dysfunction duration of response and survival of these patients on this regimen
OUTLINE Patients receive 4-iodo-4-deoxydoxorubicin IV over 1 hour once a week for 4 weeks Courses are repeated every 12 weeks Treatment continues for up to 4 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity Patients are followed every 6 months
PROJECTED ACCRUAL A total of 45 patients will be accrued for this study within 1 year
