Brief Summary: RATIONALE Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop cancer cells from dividing so they stop growing or die Vitamin C may increase the effectiveness of arsenic trioxide by making cancer cells more sensitive to the drug

PURPOSE Phase III trial to determine the effectiveness of arsenic trioxide plus vitamin C in treating patients who have recurrent or refractory multiple myeloma
Detailed Description: OBJECTIVES

Determine the maximum tolerated dose of arsenic trioxide when administered with ascorbic acid in patients with recurrent or refractory multiple myeloma
Determine the therapeutic efficacy of this treatment combination in these patients
Determine the expression of MDR and Bcl-xL genes and the intracellular levels of GSH in these patients before and after this treatment regimen and assess whether these measures have prognostic value

OUTLINE This is a multicenter dose-escalation study of arsenic trioxide

Phase I Patients receive arsenic trioxide IV over 1-4 hours and ascorbic acid IV over 5-10 minutes on days 1-5 weekly for 5 weeks Treatment continues every 7 weeks for up to 6 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity

Cohorts of 3-6 patients receive escalating doses of arsenic trioxide until the maximum tolerated dose MTD is reached The MTD is defined as the dose preceding that at which 2 of 3 or 2 of 6 patients experience dose-limiting toxicity

Phase II Patients receive the MTD of arsenic trioxide with ascorbic acid as outlined above

Patients are followed monthly for up to 5 years

PROJECTED ACCRUAL A total of 31-43 patients 6-18 for phase I and 16-25 for phase II will be accrued for this study within 25 years
