Groups2

Neither group, or both, names a comparator, so the groups keep ClinicalTrials.gov's order.

GroupTitleDescriptionWith the outcomeAnalysedClinicalTrials.gov code
Group 1Low-Dose Melphalan
Patients receive low-dose melphalan 20 mg/m\^2 IV over 15-30 minutes on day 1 or 0.12 mg/kg tablet orally once daily on days 1-7 and dexamethasone 40 mg orally on days 1-4 and 22-25. Treatment repeats every 6 weeks for 10 courses. (Study treatment beyond one year is not allowed.)
634EG000
Group 2High-Dose Melphalan + Autologous HSC
Patients receive filgrastim (G-CSF) 10 mg/kg/day on days -7 to -3 and undergo autologous hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) collection. Patients receive high-dose melphalan 140 mg/m\^2 IV for low risk or 200 mg/m\^2 IV for high risk patients over 1 hour on days -2 and -1 and undergo autologous HSC transplantation on day 0.
