Tadalafil and Lenalidomide with or without Activated Marrow Infiltrating Lymphocytes in Treating Patients with High-Risk Multiple Myeloma Undergoing Stem Cell Transplant

Inclusion Criteria

• ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA FOR ENROLLMENT
• Previous diagnosis of multiple myeloma based on standard criteria; tests need not be performed within 30 days of registration
• Active myeloma as defined as the presence of calcium, renal failure, anemia and bone (CRAB) criteria: hypercalcemia, renal insufficiency, anemia and/or bone disease
• Measurable serum and/or urine M-protein from prior to induction therapy documented and available; a positive serum free lite assay is acceptable
• Presence of at least one of the features defining high risk; these include: * High risk chromosomal translocations by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH): t(4;14), t(14;16), t(14;20), deletion (del)(17p), del(1p), amplification 1q * Myeloma Prognostic Risk Signature (MyPRS) gene expression profiling (GEP)-70 high risk signature either from diagnosis or at time of registration for the study * Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) > 300 U/L at diagnosis * Relapse from prior therapy within 12 months
• Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0-2
• Life expectancy >= 6 months
• Corrected serum calcium < 11 mg/dL, and no evidence of symptomatic hypercalcemia; (corrected serum calcium is calculated by adding 0.8 mg/dL to the measured serum calcium for every 1 g/dL that the serum albumin falls below 4.0 g/dL)
• Serum total bilirubin =< 2.0 times the upper limit of normal
• Serum glutamate pyruvate transaminase (SGPT) (alanine aminotransferase [ALT]) =< 2.0 times the upper limit of normal
• Serum creatinine < 2.0 mg/dL
• The patient must be able to comprehend and have signed the informed consent
• ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA FOR BONE MARROW TRANSPLANT
• Myeloma specific therapy with a minimum of 3 cycles
• Achieved at least a partial response (PR) to therapy
• Institutional criteria for and have institutional approval to undergo autologous peripheral blood stem cell transplantation
• Females of child-bearing potential must have a negative serum beta human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) test and be willing to use effective contraception (i.e. a hormonal contraceptive, intra-uterine device, diaphragm with spermicide, or condom with spermicide, or abstinence) up to day 180

Exclusion Criteria

• EXCLUSION CRITERIA FOR ENROLLMENT
• Diagnosis of any of the following cancers: * POEMS syndrome (plasma cell dyscrasia with polyneuropathy, organomegaly, endocrinopathy, monoclonal protein [M-protein] and skin changes) * Non-secretory myeloma (no measurable protein on serum free lite assay) * Plasma cell leukemia * Human T-cell lymphotrophic virus (HTLV)1/HTLV2 positive
• Diagnosis of amyloidosis
• Previous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation; patients can have had prior relapsed disease as long as they have never been previously transplanted
• Known history of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection
• Use of corticosteroids (glucocorticoids) within 21 days of the MILs collection
• Use of any myeloma-specific therapy within 21 days of the MILs collection
• Systemic infection requiring treatment with antibiotics, antifungal, or antiviral agents within seven days of registration
• Patients should be excluded if they are known to be positive test for hepatitis B virus surface antigen (HBV sAg) or hepatitis C virus ribonucleic acid (hepatitis C virus [HCV] antibody) indicating acute or chronic infection
• Participation in any clinical trial, within four weeks prior to registration on this trial, which involved an investigational drug or device
• History of malignancy other than multiple myeloma within five years of registration, except adequately treated basal or squamous cell skin cancer
• Active autoimmune disease (e.g., rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis, systemic lupus erythematosus) requiring active systemic treatment; hypothyroidism without evidence of Graves' disease or Hashimoto’s thyroiditis is permitted
• Known contraindication to phosphodiesterase-5 inhibitors (e.g. currently on nitrates)
• EXCLUSION CRITERIA FOR BONE MARROW TRANSPLANT
• Evidence of spinal cord compression
• Major organ system dysfunction including (but not limited to): New York Heart Association class III or IV, pulmonary disease requiring the use of inhaled steroids or bronchodilators, renal, hepatic, gastrointestinal, neurologic, or psychiatric dysfunction which would impair patient’s ability to participate in the trial
• HIV infection
