Abstract
Autologous hematopoietic cell transplantation (AHCT) in multiple myeloma (MM) patients with renal insufficiency (RI) is controversial. Patients who underwent AHCT for MM between 2008 and 2013 were identified (N=1492) and grouped as normal/mild (⩾60 mL/min), N=1240, moderate (30-59), N=185 and severe RI (<30), N=67 based on Modification of Diet in Renal Disease. Multivariate analyses of non-relapse mortality (NRM), relapse, PFS and overall survival (OS) were performed. Of the 67 patients with severe RI, 35 were on dialysis prior to AHCT. Patients received melphalan 200 mg/m2 (Mel 200) in 92% (normal/mild), 75% (moderate) and 33% (severe) RI; remainder received 140 mg/m2 (Mel 140). Thirty four of 35 patients with severe RI achieved post-AHCT dialysis independence. The 5-year PFS for normal, moderate and severe RI was 35 (95% CI, 31-38)%, 40 (31-49)% and 27 (15-40)%, respectively, (P=0.42); 5-year OS for normal, moderate and severe RI was 68 (65-71)%, 68 (60-76)% and 60 (46-74)%, respectively, (P=0.69). With moderate RI, 5-year PFS for high-dose melphalan 140 mg/m2 was 18 (6-35)% and for Mel 200 was 46 (36-57)% (P=0.009). With severe RI, 5-year PFS Mel 140 was 25 (11-41) % and for Mel 200 was 32 (11-58)% (P=0.37). We conclude that AHCT is safe and effective in patients with MM with RI.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the pharmacokinetics of morinidazole in individuals with severe renal impairment (RI). METHODS This open-label Phase I study enrolled healthy volunteers and patients with severe RI aged 18 - 65 years. All subjects received a single infusion of sodium chloride injection with 500 mg morinidazole. Plasma and urine concentration of morinidazole and one of its metabolites (M4-1) were evaluated by using HPLC-UV and HPLC-MS/MS respectively. Pharmacokinetic parameters were calculated by Phoenix WinNonlin 6.0 software. RESULTS 22 individuals (healthy: n = 11, severe RI: n = 11) received morinidazole. In both groups, maximum plasma concentration of morinidazole was reached within 1 hour, while the tmax of M4-1 differed greatly. Both AUC0-t and AUC0-∞ of morinidazole were 1.4 times higher in patients with severe RI, while M4-1 were over 7 times higher than healthy groups. Renal excretion of unchanged morinidazole was decreased by 65% in patients with RI, and M4-1 was decreased by 72%. Apparent correlation between CLcr and CL, AUC, t1/2 and CLr were seen in two groups. CONCLUSIONS A single dose of 500 mg morinidazole is well tolerated. Changes in pharmacokinetic parameters of morinidazole and M4-1 are seen in patients with RI and may be clinically important.
