We prospectively compared 2 groups of multiple myeloma patients who had undergone autologous stem cell transplantation. The first group (group 1, n=30) received amifostine (740 mg/m2) whereas the second group (group 2, n= 36) did not receive this treatment, before melphalan infusion, as cytoprotectant for mucosal damage. Our results demonstrated that amifostine did not reduce the incidence or grading of mucositis, but it influenced the use of total parenteral nutrition and of opioid analgesic therapy.

Abstract

We prospectively compared 2 groups of multiple myeloma patients who had undergone autologous stem cell transplantation. The first group (group 1, n=30) received amifostine (740 mg/m2) whereas the second group (group 2, n= 36) did not receive this treatment, before melphalan infusion, as cytoprotectant for mucosal damage. Our results demonstrated that amifostine did not reduce the incidence or grading of mucositis, but it influenced the use of total parenteral nutrition and of opioid analgesic therapy.
