Who could take part
eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria: * Patients with previously treated multiple myeloma with measurable serum or urine monoclonal protein. Exclusion Criteria: * Patients with previous doxorubicin treatment totaling 220 mg/m2 or more * LVEF less than 45% * Patients with \>grade II sensory neuropathy at baseline as assessed by the PI will be excluded * No history of seizures as ALCAR may lower the seizure threshold * Known HIV infection * Current pregnancy.

primary Outcomes
  1. description
    Anti-tumor responses were analyzed descriptively and summarized in tabular format. Ninety percent confidence intervals for the percentage of subjects with a confirmed anti-tumor response were constructed using the method proposed by Duffy-Santner. Complete response defined as: no evidence of M-protein on immunofixation of serum and/or urine AND less than 5% plasma cells in the bone marrow biopsy. Partial response defined as: 50 to 99% decrease in M-protein on serum and/or urine protein electrophoresis.
    measure
    Confirmed Anti-tumor Response Rate (Complete Response and Partial Response) to the Combination of Bortezomib, Dexamethasone, Doxorubicin, and ALCAR
    time Frame
    Every 21 days, up to 24 weeks
secondary Outcomes
  1. measure
    Overall Survival
    time Frame
    From date of randomization until the date of death from any cause, assessed up to 7 years
  2. description
    Progression is defined as any of the following: 1) 25% or greater increase in M-protein as measured by serum or urine protein electrophoresis. There must be an absolute minimum increase of 0.5 g/dl in serum M spike or 0.2 gram of specific urinary light chains to constitute progression, 2) 25% or greater increase in the percentage or plasma cells in the bone marrow biopsy, or 3) new bone lesions or an increase in the size of old lesions on x-ray.
    measure
    Progression-free Survival
    time Frame
    From date of randomization until the date of first documented progression or date of death from any cause, whichever came first, assessed up to 7 years.
Full study description
brief Summary
Patients will receive Bortezomib, Dexamethasone, and Doxorubicin in 21 day cycles a total of 4 to 8 times (based on response to the treatment). Patients will also receive acetyl-L-carnitine (ALCAR) daily.
detailed Description
The primary objective of this study is to assess overall response rate to the treatment. Secondary objectives include: evaluating and describing the incidence of chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy using the FACT/GOG-Ntx assessment tool; evaluating the utility of adding ALCAR to the chemotherapy to reduce the incidence of peripheral neuropathy; and evaluating the utility of the Grooved Pegboard Completion Time as a longitudinal measure of peripheral neuropathy.
