Adoptive Immunotherapy Utilizing Activated Marrow Infiltrating Lymphocytes in the Autologous Transplant Setting in Multiple Myeloma

J0770

RATIONALE: Activating white blood cells in the laboratory may help them kill more cancer cells when they are put back in the body. This may be an effective treatment for patients undergoing a stem cell transplant for multiple myeloma. PURPOSE: This phase I/II trial is studying the side effects of activated white blood cells and to see how well they work in treating patients who are undergoing a stem cell transplant for newly diagnosed stage II or stage III multiple myeloma.
