Fifteen patients with relapsed multiple myeloma (MM) were treated with menogaril 160 mg/m2 intravenously (IV) every 28 days. No responses were seen: 8 patients had stable disease, 4 progressed after one course of therapy, and 3 patients were removed from study after 1 course for other reasons. Four of the 8 patients with stable disease had an improved performance status, and 3 had a decrease in analgesic use. The major toxicity was myelosuppression. The median progression-free interval was 3.0 months with a range of 0.7 to 22 months and median survival was 11.3 months with a range of 0.7 to 39+ months. Menogaril displays little activity in patients with previously treated MM.
