Abstract
The incidence of most hematologic malignancies increases with age. Physicians increasingly refer older patients for hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) due to more experience and improved supportive care in HSCT. This article discusses the available data regarding the feasibility, tolerability, toxicity, and effectiveness of autologous and allogeneic HSCT in older adults.

Abstract
Mobilization of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) from the bone marrow to the peripheral blood is a complex mechanism that involves adhesive and chemotactic interactions of HSCs as well as their bone marrow microenvironment. In addition to a number of non-genetic factors, genetic susceptibilities also contribute to the mobilization outcome. Identification of genetic factors associated with HSC yield is important to better understand the mechanism behind HSC mobilization. In the present study, we enrolled 148 Korean participants (56 healthy donors and 92 patients) undergoing HSC mobilization for allogeneic or autologous HSC transplantation. Among a total of 53 polymorphisms in 33 candidate genes, one polymorphism (rs11264422) in relaxin/insulin-like family peptide receptor 4 (RXFP4) gene was significantly associated with a higher HSC yield after mobilization in Koreans. However, in a set of 101 Europeans, no association was found between circulating CD34+ cell counts and rs11264422 genotype. Therefore, we suggest that the ethnic differences in subjects’ genetic background may be related to HSC mobilization. In conclusion, the relaxin—relaxin receptor axis may play an important role in HSC mobilization. We believe that the results of the current study could provide new insights for therapies that use relaxin and HSC populations, as well as a better understanding of HSC regulation and mobilization at the molecular level.

Abstract
The efficacy and safety of plerixafor + G-CSF in enhancing hematopoietic stem cell mobilization and collection has been demonstrated in two phase III studies involving patients with NHL or MM. In these pivotal studies, plerixafor + G-CSF significantly increased the proportion of patients achieving target stem cell yields, compared to placebo + G-CSF. In this analysis, we compare the efficacy and safety of plerixafor + G-CSF versus placebo + G-CSF in patients enrolled in the two phase III studies, stratified by age: ≥60 years of age and <60 years of age. The proportion of older patients who achieved target stem cell yields was significantly higher in the plerixafor group than in placebo group (NHL: 50.9 vs. 25.4%, P < 0.001; MM: 69.6 vs. 23.7%, P < 0.001). In this older cohort, the median times to neutrophil and to platelet engraftment following autologous stem cell transplant were comparable between the plerixafor and placebo groups. Similar efficacy findings were observed in the younger age group. The most common adverse events (all grades) reported among older patients in the plerixafor group included diarrhea (41.3%), nausea (38.9%), fatigue (30.2%), and injection-site reaction (29.4%). The frequency of adverse events was similar between the older and the younger age groups. Taken together, our subanalysis demonstrate that plerixafor + G-CSF can be safely and effectively used in adult patients of all ages, including those ≥60 years, to support optimal stem cell mobilization for autologous stem cell transplantation.

Abstract
Intensive treatments like autologous blood stem cell transplantations are standard consolidation treatments for lymphoma and myeloma in young people. The upper age limit for these procedures is constantly increasing. Instead of studying the impact of aging on harvesting peripheral blood stem cells (PBSC), we performed a retrospective study to explore the feasibility of collecting stem cells from patients older than 65 years and compared the efficacy to harvest in younger patients. During a period of 7 years, we identified 108 patients with myeloma or lymphoma who were older than 65 years who underwent PBSC collection. Only eight patients failed to produce a successful harvest. The majority of patients only needed one apheresis (71%). There was a median number of 5.3 x 10(6) CD34+ cells/kg. Our study demonstrated that older patients can also undergo PBSC harvests similar to younger patients.

Abstract
Current protocols for myeloma patients require more than one autologous transplant. We performed a retrospective study to determine the cost-effectiveness of large volume leukapheresis (LVL) compared with standard volume leukapheresis (SVL) collection when two transplants are required. We evaluated 87 patients who underwent a cumulative total of 260 LVL and SVL collections. The median product volume per collection was 356 ml for LVL, and this was significantly higher than the median product volume per collection for SVL (median 149.5 ml, P < 0.001). The median total CD34+ cell yield/kg was 6.4 x 10(6) for LVL and 5.2 x 10(6) for SVL. This difference was statistically significant (P = 0.005). Because the target CD34+ cell dose for a single transplant was 3 x 10(6)/kg at our institution, overall the LVL yields enough CD34+ cells that could allow for two transplants. Therefore, more patients in the LVL group were able to undergo a potential second transplant. Because of the reserved cells for a second transplant, LVL patients received significantly less CD34+ cell/kg per transplant than the patients in SVL group (P = <0.001). As a result, LVL group had statistically significant but clinically insignificant delay in neutrophil (P = <0.001) and platelet (P = 0.02) engraftments. Additionally, using LVL instead of SVL to collect >or=6 x 10(6)/kg CD34+ cells may potentially save $7,497 per patient. We therefore conclude that LVL is the method of choice for collection of multiple myeloma patients when two transplants are anticipated.

Abstract
Increasing demand on the apheresis service makes efficient harvesting of peripheral blood stem cells (PBSCs) essential. A total of 168 adult patients with haematological malignancy were primed using low-moderate dose cyclophosphamide (1.5-3 g/m(2)) with G-CSF 5-10 microg/kg per day. Harvesting was booked and peripheral blood (PB) counts first checked between 6 and 10 days post-priming. One hundred and thirty (77%) patients harvested successfully (total harvest yield > or =2 x 10(6) CD34(+)/kg) and the median PBSC collection per procedure was 2.18 x 10(6)/kg (range 0.1-14.5). Only more lines of prior chemotherapy predicted failure to harvest in multivariate analysis (P=0.003). The PB CD34(+) cell count correlated significantly with harvest yield (r=0.8448, P<0.0001). A PB CD34(+) count > or =10/microl predicted a collection of > or =2 x 10(6)/kg (positive-predictive value of 61%, negative-predictive-value 100%). Patients first attending day 9 required significantly fewer visits to achieve a successful harvest than those first attending days 6-8 without increasing the risk of failure. No significant difference in failure rates, number of days attending and total harvest yield was found between days 9 and 10 attendees. Collection from day 9 may however enable higher target yields to be achieved. PB CD34(+) count monitoring should commence and harvesting booked from day 9 to optimize both the harvest and the efficiency of the PBSC harvesting service.

Abstract
Several studies have reported data on factors influencing mobilization of peripheral blood stem cells (PBSC) in non-myeloid malignancies. On the contrary, data from patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) are very limited, in particular, as the impact of an antecedent diagnosis of refractory anemia with excess blasts (RAEB) on mobilization of PBSCs as well as hematopoietic recovery after autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) is concerned. We retrospectively analyzed a cohort of 150 consecutive AML patients in first complete remission in order to make a comparison between patients with de novo AML and secondary AML (s-AML) in terms of CD34 positive (CD34+) cells mobilization and number of leukapheresis needed to collect at least one single stem cell graft. Data concerning hematopoietic recovery after ASCT were also compared. The successful mobilization rate (>2 x 10(6) CD34+ cells/kg) was comparable between de novo AML patients (87%) and those with s-AML (76%), P:0.21. No statistically significant difference was found in terms of either median number of CD34+ cells collected (P:0.44) or CD34+ cells peak in peripheral blood (P:0.28). Both groups of patients needed a median of two apheresis (P:0.45) and no difference was found on the median number of CD34+ cells collected per single apheresis (P:0.59). Finally, neutrophil and platelet recovery after ASCT were comparable between the two groups. An antecedent diagnosis of RAEB has no impact on mobilization and collection of PBSCs in AML as well as on hematopoietic recovery after ASCT.

Abstract
The upper age limit for autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is increasing and peripheral blood (PB) represents the standard source of stem cell (SC). However, no data are available on the impact of age on SC mobilization in AML. We analyzed a cohort of 150 consecutive AML patients in first complete remission in order to make a comparison between patients up to 60 years and above 60 years, by evaluating CD34+ cells mobilization into PB and the number of leukapheresis needed to collect at least one single SC graft. The successful mobilization rate (>2 x 10(6) CD34+ cells/kg) was comparable between the two groups (87% vs. 80%, p = 0.29). In addition, no statistically significant difference was found in terms of either median number of CD34+ cells collected (p = 0.54) or CD34+ cells peak in PB (p = 0.70). Both groups of patients needed a median of two apheresis and no difference was found in the median number of CD34+ cells collected per single apheresis (p = 0.67). Finally, no correlation was found between age and total number of CD34+ cells collected (r = 0.003, p = 0.58). We conclude that age has no impact on mobilization of PBSCs in AML.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Stem cell collection is a standard procedure for the procurement of autologous grafts to rescue myelosuppression induced by high-dose treatments. Accurate prediction of collection yields may contribute to optimize planning and quality control of collection. MATERIALS AND METHODS Data of 313 autologous haematopoietic stem cell (AHSC) evaluable collections performed in 208 patients with haematologic and non-haematologic neoplasms from seven centres were prospectively analysed to test the accuracy of yield predictions generated by a formula that required the input of peripheral blood (PB) CD34+ cell precount and desired PB volume to be processed. Data were matched in a standard linear regression, in a zero-point regression analysis and tested for prediction accuracy. Further 165 AHSC collections were analysed on a single-centre basis, using yield predictions as reference standards. RESULTS Analysis showed high levels of correlation between measured collection yields (my) and predictions (py) (R = 0.85; P = 0.000000) as well as high degree of prediction accuracy (my vs. py at paired t-test: P = 0.114781; median my/py ratio = 1.23). Analysis of additional 165 AHSC collections on a single-centre basis showed that the analysed centres had 70% or more measured yields comprising the 0.6-1.8 interval of the my/py ratio. The observance of the 'efficiency' my/py interval assured collection quality control in these centres confirming the reliability of the method. CONCLUSIONS This prediction method generates accurate and immediate yield predictions allowing collection planning and rapid efficiency control. As a consequence of our study, four centres out of seven use the described method to plan both leukapheresis number and single-procedure blood processing volume while the remaining three centres plan leukapheresis number on the basis of our predictions, maintaining a fixed single-procedure 200 ml/kg blood volume processing, according to their centre AHSC collection policy.
