Brief Summary: Iododoxorubicin may dissolve protein deposits and be an effective treatment for primary systemic amyloidosis Phase I trial to determine the effectiveness of iododoxorubicin in treating patients who have primary systemic amyloidosis
Detailed Description: PRIMARY OBJECTIVES
I Determine the maximum tolerated dose of iododoxorubicin in patients with primary systemic amyloidosis
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES
I Determine the safety especially cardiac safety of this drug in these patients
II Determine the survival rate of patients treated with this drug III Determine preliminarily the clinical efficacy of this drug in these patients
IV Determine the pharmacokinetics of this drug in these patients
OUTLINE This is a dose-escalation study
Patients receive iododoxorubicin IV over 15 minutes on days 1 8 15 and 22 Treatment repeats every 12 weeks for a total of 4 courses or a cumulative dose of 400 mgm2 in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity
Cohorts of 3-6 patients receive escalating doses of iododoxorubicin until the maximum tolerated dose MTD is determined The MTD is defined as the dose preceding that at which 2 of 3 or 2 of 6 patients experience dose-limiting toxicity
