Meloxicam and Filgrastim in Collecting Peripheral Blood Stem Cells for Transplant in Patients with Multiple Myeloma, Hodgkin Lymphoma, or Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma

Trial Status: administratively complete

This phase II trial studies how well meloxicam and filgrastim work in collecting peripheral blood stem cells for transplant in patients with multiple myeloma, Hodgkin lymphoma, or non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Colony-stimulating factors, such as filgrastim, help stem cells move from the patient’ s bone marrow to the blood so they can be collected and stored. Meloxicam is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug that may act together with filgrastim to increase the number of cells collected for transplant.
