Study Summary

Background: Autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation(ASCT) is an important part treatment for patients with multiple myeloma. Retrospective analysis from our center showed that incidence of oral mucositis and gastrointestinal symptoms was higher during ASCT for melphalan as conditioning regimen in patients with multiple myeloma. Objective: Safety and optimization of ASCT-related symptom burden of tocilizumab for melphalan as a conditioning regimen in ASCT for multiple myeloma is explored. Methods: The patient who is enrolled will be randomly divided into two groups in a proportion of 1:1 to respectively receive tocilizumab(8mg/kg) at day -7 before transfusion of stem cells or not. There will be enroll 48 patients according to inclusion and exclusion criteria totally. Adverse events and MDASI score during ASCT between two groups will be recorded and analyzed. Primary endpoint: MDASI, Security; Secondary endpoints: time to neutrophil engraftment; time of platelet implantation; efficacy (ORR) after autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.
