    Thirteen patients with multiple myeloma (MM) who either failed to respond to or who were relapsing from standard agents and who received four or more courses of methyl-CCNU + prednisone (adequate drug trial) are reported in this paper. Methyl-CCNU was given orally before breakfast at 6-week intervals at a starting dose of 50 mg/m2 with the intention of increasing the dose to 100, 150, and 200 mg/m2 with each subsequent course. The dose of prednisone was 75 mg/day x 7 with each course. The response rate was 46% (six of 13 patients). No patient had better than a fair response. Drug toxicity, severe enough to prevent further dose escalation, was observed in every case. Prior BCNU therapy or the lack of response to previous alkylating agents did not prevent a response to methyl-CCNU + prednisone. The response rate of methyl-CCNU + prednisone in MM is comparable to the results achieved with other agents in similar groups of patients.
