Patients with myeloma that has either not responded to previous treatment or has returned after previous treatment will be given a combination of the drugs bendamustine and bortezomib. The bortezomib and bendamustine will be given using an intravenous line (IV) on days 1 and 4 of each cycle, with bortezomib being given first, before each dose of bendamustine. Each cycle will be 28 days long, so patients will be treated the first week of each cycle and then have 3 weeks 'off' (without any treatment). Disease assessments will be performed on day 22 of each cycle. Patients will receive the study drugs until their disease progresses or they are withdrawn from the study. In other studies, bendamustine seems to work well with other drugs. Thus, this study hopes to show that the combination of bortezomib and bendamustine will have activity in relapsed/refractory myeloma.

Patient has \>Grade 2 peripheral neuropathy within 14 days before enrollment 12. Patient has hypersensitivity to bortezomib, boron or mannitol and bendamustine 13. Positive pregnancy test in women of childbearing potential or subject is pregnant or breast-feeding. Confirmation that the subject is not pregnant must be established by a negative serum betaa human chorionic gonadotropin test result obtained during screening. Pregnancy testing is not required for post-menopausal or surgically sterilized women. 14. Patient has received other investigational drugs with 14 days before enrollment 15. Serious medical or psychiatric illness likely to interfere with participation in this clinical study. 16. Diagnosed or treated for another malignancy within 3 years of enrollment, with the exception of complete resection of basal cell carcinoma or squamous cell carcinoma of the skin, an in situ malignancy, or low-risk prostate cancer after curative therapy.

The bortezomib and bendamustine will be given using an intravenous line (IV) on days 1 and 4 of each cycle, with bortezomib being given first, before each dose of bendamustine.

Disease assessments will be performed on day 22 of each cycle. Patients will receive the study drugs until their disease progresses or they are withdrawn from the study. In other studies, bendamustine seems to work well with other drugs. Thus, this study hopes to show that the combination of bortezomib and bendamustine will have activity in relapsed/refractory myeloma.
detailed Description
Patients with relapsed and refractory myeloma who have a measurable paraprotein in the serum or urine or measurable protein by Freelite or measurable disease by plasmacytoma will be given a combination of bendamustine and bortezomib each cycle. Response rate (PR or better after 2 cycles) and duration of response will be assessed. Therapy will be continued until disease progression. The bendamustine would be used in a day 1, day 4 dosing schedule after each dose of bortezomib to take advantage of the chemosensitizing properties of bortezomib. This minimizes the days of treatment to just the first week and allows rebound of blood counts. This will be a phase II trial with dose reduction as necessary. Bendamustine is a drug which appears to be non-cross-resistant with other alkylating agents in vitro and in vivo. Thus, we hypothesize that the combination of bortezomib and bendamustine will have activity in relapsed/refractory myeloma.
