A Pilot Study to Determine the Safety and Efficacy of Repeated Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy in Multiple Myeloma Patients Undergoing High-Dose Therapy and Autologous Stem/Progenitor Transplantation


Description

Subjects with multiple myeloma (MM) who are considered eligible for high-dose therapy and autologous stem cell transplantation by the transplant team at WCI will be enrolled in the study.Subjects with multiple myeloma (MM) who are considered eligible for high-dose therapy and autologous stem cell transplantation by the transplant team at WCI will be enrolled in the study. Subjects will receive HBO therapy on Days 0, +1 and +2 of the transplant. The treatment consists of exposure to hyperbaric oxygen at 2.5 atmospheric absolutes for a total of 90 minutes after compression to 2.5 atmosphere absolutes in a monoplace hyperbaric chamber (Model 3200/3200R, Sechrist Industries, Inc., USA), breathing 100% oxygen. Subjects will be in the chamber for a total of 120 minutes as approximately 10-15 minutes will be spent during the compression and decompression phases and subjects will have 5-10 minute room air breaks every 30 minutes of hyperbaric oxygen treatment. Subjects will be seen daily until
