Cancers (Basel) 2023; 15:cancers15020430. [PMID: 36672379 PMCID: PMC9856560 DOI: 10.3390/cancers15020430] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/07/2022] [Revised: 12/27/2022] [Accepted: 12/28/2022] [Indexed: 01/12/2023] Open
Abstract
(1) Background: High-dose chemotherapy (HDCT) followed by autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) is the standard consolidation strategy for patients with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma (MM) and for a subset of patients with relapsed/refractory disease. For stem cell mobilization, G-CSF alone or in combination with chemotherapy mobilizing agents and/or plerixafor are commonly used. Ixazomib is an oral proteasome inhibitor with less neurotoxic potential, which previously showed the ability to mobilize stem cells in preclinical studies. (2) Methods: Prospective single-center phase 1 study assessing the efficacy and safety of stem cell mobilization with ixazomib and G-CSF in patients with newly diagnosed or relapsed/refractory MM undergoing HDCT and ASCT. Primary endpoint was percentage of patients achieving a yield of at least 6.0 × 106/kg CD34+ cells within the first apheresis. G-CSF (filgrastim) 10 μg/kg/day was administered subcutaneously (s.c.) from day 1 to day 5 (planned apheresis) and ixazomib 4 mg orally at day 4. Plerixafor 24 mg s.c. was administered if the stem cell mobilization with ixazomib and G-CSF was not sufficient. (3) Results: 19 patients were treated within the study between 06/2020 and 02/2021. The primary endpoint was reached in 17 (89%) patients, with a median of 7.1 × 106/kg CD34+ cells collected within the first apheresis, comparable to previously published results, and only 2 (11%) patients required a second apheresis. Median number of circulating CD34+ cells was 14.0 × 106/L (2.0-95.2) before the administration of ixazomib, and 33.0 × 106/L (4.2-177.0) pre-apheresis. However, 9 (47%) patients required the addition of plerixafor to ensure optimal stem cell collection. (4) Conclusions: The combination of ixazomib and G-CSF showed promising stem cell mobilizing activity in patients with MM prior to HDCT and ASCT. Future larger studies might further investigate the role of ixazomib in stem cell mobilization regimens for MM.

Efficacy of hematopoietic stem cell mobilization regimens in patients with hematological malignancies: a systematic review and network meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials. Stem Cell Res Ther 2022; 13:123. [PMID: 35317856 PMCID: PMC8939102 DOI: 10.1186/s13287-022-02802-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/20/2021] [Accepted: 03/07/2022] [Indexed: 12/18/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Efficient mobilization of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) from bone marrow niche into circulation is the key to successful collection and transplantation in patients with hematological malignancies. The efficacy of various HSCs mobilization regimens has been widely investigated, but the results are inconsistent. Methods We performed comprehensive databases searching for eligible randomized controlled trials (RCTs) that comparing the efficacy of HSCs mobilization regimens in patients with hematological malignancies. Bayesian network meta-analyses were performed with WinBUGS. Standard dose of granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF SD) was chosen as the common comparator. Estimates of relative treatment effects for other regimens were reported as mean differences (MD) or odds ratio (OR) with associated 95% credibility interval (95% CrI). The surface under the cumulative ranking curve (SUCRA) were obtained to present rank probabilities of all included regimens. Results Databases searching and study selection identified 44 eligible RCTs, of which the mobilization results are summarized. Then we compared the efficacy of mobilization regimens separately for patients with multiple myeloma (MM) and non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) by including 13 eligible trials for network meta-analysis, involving 638 patients with MM and 592 patients with NHL. For patients with MM, data are pooled from 8 trials for 6 regimens, including G-CSF in standard dose (SD) or reduced dose (RD) combined with cyclophosphamide (CY), intermediate-dose cytarabine (ID-AraC) or plerixafor. The results show that compared with G-CSF SD alone, 3 regimens including ID-AraC + G-CSF SD (MD 14.29, 95% CrI 9.99–18.53; SUCRA 1.00), G-CSF SD + Plerixafor SD (MD 4.15, 95% CrI 2.92–5.39; SUCRA 0.80), and CY + G-CSF RD (MD 1.18, 95% CrI 0.29–2.07; SUCRA 0.60) are associated with significantly increased total number of collected CD34+ cells (× 106/kg), among which ID-AraC + G-CSF SD ranked first with a probability of being best regimen of 100%. Moreover, ID-AraC + G-CSF SD and G-CSF SD + Plerixafor SD are associated with significantly higher successful rate of achieving optimal target (collecting ≥ 4–6 × 106 CD34+ cells/kg). For patients with NHL, data are pooled from 5 trials for 4 regimens, the results show that compared with G-CSF SD alone, G-CSF SD + Plerixafor SD (MD 3.62, 95% CrI 2.86–4.38; SUCRA 0.81) and G-CSF SD plus the new CXC chemokine receptor-4 (CXCR-4) antagonist YF-H-2015005 (MD 3.43, 95% CrI 2.51–4.35; SUCRA 0.69) are associated with significantly higher number of total CD34+ cells collected. These 2 regimens are also associated with significantly higher successful rate of achieving optimal target. There are no significant differences in rate of achieving optimal target between G-CSF SD + Plerixafor SD and G-CSF + YF-H-2015005. Conclusions In conclusion, ID-AraC plus G-CSF is associated with the highest probability of being best mobilization regimen in patients with MM. For patients with NHL, G-CSF in combination with plerixafor or YF-H-2015005 showed similar improvements in HSCs mobilization efficacy. The relative effects of other chemotherapy-based mobilization regimens still require to be determined with further investigations.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Consolidation with autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) is recommended for patients with recurrent or refractory lymphoma after salvage chemotherapy. Stem cells which will be used in ASCT are provided by mobilization using granulocyte colony stimulation factor (G-CSF) or chemotherapy plus G-CSF. The aim of this study was to compare the effect of various mobilization regimens on the clinical parameters of lymphoma patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS Mobilization interventions of lymphoma patients were analysed retrospectively. The patients were divided into 3 groups according to the mobilization method implemented to collect stem cells before ASCT, (Group 1: Salvage chemotherapy plus G-CSF, Group 2: Cyclophosphamide plus G-CSF, Group 3: G-CSF alone). RESULTS Analysis of CD34+ cell counts of the 3 groups revealed a significant difference (p < 0.001). Although the number of CD34+ cells collected were different, the neutrophil and platelet engraftment of the 3 groups were similar (p > 0.05). Furthermore, the results were similar in the separate analysis of NHL and HL patients. While the mobilization success rate in group 1 was 97.8 %, it was 90.2 % in group 3. This difference showed a certain trend towards statistical significance (p = 0.074). Patients who received DHAP plus G-CSF had a higher CD34+ count, while neutrophil engraftment was shorter than with ESHAP plus G-CSF (p < 0.05). CONCLUSION Although the success rate of mobilization and number of CD34+ cell collected were higher in the salvage chemotherapy plus G-CSF than G-CSF alone, G-CSF alone group provided similar neutrophil and thrombocyte engraftment in most lymphoma patients.

The effect of the dexamethasone, cytarabine, and cisplatin (DHAP) regimen on stem cell mobilization and transplant outcomes of patients with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma who are candidates for up-front autologous stem cell transplantation. Korean J Intern Med 2018; 33:1169-1181.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIMS Data on dexamethasone, cytarabine, and cisplatin (DHAP) as a mobilization regimen, compared to high-dose cyclophosphamide (HDC), for up-front autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) in non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) is limited. METHODS Consecutive patients with aggressive NHL treated with cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisone (CHOP) or rituximab-CHOP who underwent chemomobilization using HDC or DHAP plus granulocyte-colony stimulating factor (G-CSF) for up-front ASCT were enrolled from three institutions between 2004 and 2014. RESULTS Ninety-six patients (57 men) were included. Sixty-five patients (67.7%) received HDC; and 31 (32.3%), DHAP. The total CD34+ cells mobilized were significantly higher in patients receiving DHAP (16.1 vs. 6.1 × 106/kg, p = 0.001). More patients achieved successful mobilization with DHAP (CD34+ cells ≥ 5.0 × 106/kg) compared to HDC (87.1% vs. 61.5%, respectively; p = 0.011), particularly within the first two sessions of apheresis (64.5% vs. 32.3%, respectively; p = 0.003). Mobilization failure rate (CD34+ cells < 2.0 × 106/kg) was significantly higher in patients receiving HDC (20.0% vs. 3.2%, p = 0.032). On multivariate analysis, the DHAP regimen (odds ratio, 4.12; 95% confidence interval, 1.12 to 15.17) was an independent predictor of successful mobilization. During chemomobilization, patients receiving HDC experienced more episodes of febrile neutropenia compared to patients receiving DHAP (32.3% vs. 12.9%, p = 0.043). CONCLUSION The DHAP regimen was associated with a significantly higher efficacy for stem cell mobilization and lower frequency of febrile neutropenia. Therefore, DHAP plus G-CSF is an effective for mobilization in patients with aggressive NHL who were candidates for up-front ASCT.

Abstract
Background Due to laboratory logistic issues, our center has traditionally scheduled peripheral blood stem cell harvests based on timing from the start of mobilization. This has proved to be useful in some cases, but also resulted in many fruitless harvests due to poor mobilization. In order to improve the efficiency of collections and compare the effectiveness of peripheral blood CD34+ cells as a predictor with data from other reports, this study analyzed the implementation of this routine. Methods Peripheral blood and leukapheresis samples were quantified by flow cytometry and the association between these parameters was assessed. Results Sixty-six consecutive leukapheresis samples were collected from 34 patients after the collection of peripheral blood samples for CD34+ quantification. A moderate positive correlation was observed between peripheral blood CD34+ cell count and total CD34+ cell count/kg (r = 0.596; p-value < 0.001). A multivariable regression model also confirmed this association and allowed the estimation that for every increase in five CD34+ cells/μL in the peripheral blood, a mean increase of 0.38 × 106 CD34+ cells/kg could be predicted. Demographic characteristics, baseline comorbidities and mobilization regimen did not influence final CD34+ cell count in this sample. Conclusions As observed in other centers, quantification of peripheral blood CD34+ progenitor cells is a strong predictor of effectiveness to guide stem cell harvesting. Due to the results of this study, a modification in the peripheral blood stem cell harvesting logistics was implemented at our center in order to incorporate this routine.

Abstract
Homeostasis of short-lived blood cells is dependent on rapid proliferation of immature precursors. Using a conditional histone 2B-mCherry-labeling mouse model, we characterize hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) and progenitor proliferation dynamics in steady state and following several types of induced stress. HSC proliferation following HSC transplantation into lethally irradiated mice is fundamentally different not only from native hematopoiesis but also from other stress contexts. Whereas transplantation promoted sustained, long-term proliferation of HSCs, both cytokine-induced mobilization and acute depletion of selected blood cell lineages elicited very limited recruitment of HSCs to the proliferative pool. By coupling mCherry-based analysis of proliferation history with multiplex gene expression analyses on single cells, we have found that HSCs can be stratified into four distinct subtypes. These subtypes have distinct molecular signatures and differ significantly in their reconstitution potentials, showcasing the power of tracking proliferation history when resolving functional heterogeneity of HSCs.

Abstract
Background Previous studies have shown that the numbers of both circulating hematopoietic progenitor cell (HPC) and CD34+ cell are positively correlated with CD34+ cell harvest yield. However, the minimal numbers of both circulating HPCs and CD34+ cells required for performing an efficient hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) harvest in lymphoma and myeloma patients have not been defined in our institution. Patients and methods Medical records of 50 lymphoma and myeloma patients undergoing peripheral blood HSC harvest in our institution were retrospectively reviewed. The minimal and optimal HSC harvest yield required for the treatment was considered to be ≥2×106 CD34+ cells/kg and ≥5×106 CD34+ cells/kg, respectively. Results The minimally required or optimal HSC yield obtained was not influenced by age (≥60 years), sex, underlying malignancies, disease status, multiple rounds of chemotherapy, or history of radiotherapy. The numbers of both circulating HPC and CD34+ cell were higher in patients with minimally required HSC yields (P=0.000 for HPC and P=0.000 for CD34+ cell) and also in patients with optimal HSC yields (P=0.011 for HPC and P=0.006 for CD34+ cell). The cell count cutoff for obtaining minimally required HSC harvest was determined to be 20/mm3 for HPCs and 10/mm3 for CD34+ cells. Furthermore, the cell count cutoff for obtaining optimal HSC harvest was determined to be 60/mm3 for HPCs and 35/mm3 for CD34+ cells. Conclusion A total of 60/mm3 of HPCs and 35/mm3 of CD34+ cells in peripheral blood predicted optimal HSC harvest in lymphoma and myeloma patients.

Abstract
Hemotopoietic stem cell mobilization with cytokines alone, has still been widely accepted as the initial attempt for stem cell mobilization. Chemotherapy based mobilization can be preferred as first choice in high risk patients or for remobilization. But mobilization failure still remains to be a problem in one third of patients. Salvage mobilization strategies have been composed to give one more chance to 'poor mobilizers'. Synergistic effect of a reversible inhibitor of CXCR4, plerixafor, with G-CSF has opened a new era for these patients. Preemptive approach in predicted poor mobilizers, immediate salvage approach for patients with suboptimal mobilization or remobilization approach of plerixafor in failed mobilizers have all been demonstrated convincing results in various studies. Alternative CXCR4 inhibitors, VLA4 inhibitors, bortezomib, parathormone have also been emerged as novel agents for mobilization failure.

Abstract
To date, no prospective study on Plerixafor 'on-demand' in combination with chemotherapy and granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) has been reported. We present an interim analysis of the first prospective study in which Plerixafor was administered on-demand in patients affected by multiple myeloma and lymphoma who received high dose cyclophosphamide or DHAP (dexamethasone, cytarabine, cisplatin) plus G-CSF to mobilize peripheral blood stem cells (PBSC). One hundred and two patients were evaluable for response. A cohort of 240 patients receiving the same mobilizing chemotherapy was retrospectively studied. Failure to mobilize CD34(+) cells in peripheral blood was reduced by 'on-demand' strategy compared to conventional mobilization; from 13·0 to 3·0% (P = 0·004). Failure to harvest CD34(+) cells 2 × 10(6) /kg decreased from 20·9 to 4·0% (P = 0·0001). The on-demand Plerixafor strategy also resulted in a lower rate of mobilization failure (P = 0·03) and harvest failure (P = 0·0008) when compared to a 'bias-adjusted set of controls'. Evaluation of economic costs of the two strategies showed that the overall cost of the two treatments were comparable when salvage mobilizations were taken into account. When in combination with cyclophosphamide or DHAP plus G-CSF, the 'on-demand' use of Plerixafor showed, in comparison to conventionally treated patients, a significant improvement in mobilization of PBSC with no increase in overall cost.

Abstract
Although chemotherapy combined with G-CSF is an effective method for hematopoietic stem cell mobilization, standard chemotherapy protocol leading to best stem cell yield is not defined. In our study, we aimed to assess the impact of chemotherapy choice on mobilization outcome in lymphoma patients. Patients were mobilized with cyclophosphamide (n:15), ASHAP (n:11) or VGEPP (n:12) protocols. Groups were similar according to collected CD34+ cell count, total nucleated cell count and median apheresis days. Five out of fifteen (33%) patients could not be mobilized in Cy group but there was only one failed mobilization attempt in both salvage groups (9% with ASHAP vs 8% with VGEPP). In conclusion, we showed that VGEPP and ASHAP are safe protocols in terms of stem cell mobilization and have similar mobilization capacity as cyclophosphamide alone.

Plerixafor Salvage Is Safe and Effective in Hard-to-Mobilize Patients Undergoing Chemotherapy and Filgrastim-Based Peripheral Blood Progenitor Cell Mobilization. JOURNAL OF ONCOLOGY 2012; 2012:931071.

Abstract
The combination of filgrastim (G-CSF) and plerixafor is currently approved for mobilizing peripheral blood progenitor cells in patients with non-Hodgkin lymphoma and multiple myeloma undergoing autologous peripheral blood hematopoietic cell transplantation. However, chemotherapy and G-CSF-based mobilization remains a widely used strategy for peripheral blood progenitor cell collection. In this paper we describe our experience from two North American transplant centers in a series of patients who received salvage plerixafor while failing chemotherapy and G-CSF mobilization. Patients received a median of two doses of plerixafor salvage upon failure to mobilize adequate number of peripheral blood progenitor cells at neutrophil recovery. The use of plerixafor was associated with a 2.4-fold increase in peripheral blood CD34+ cell count and 3.9-fold increase in total CD34+ cell yield. All patients were able to collect ≥2 × 10(6) CD34+ cells/kg with this approach. These results were more pronounced in patients with a higher CD34+ cell count at the time of the first plerixafor dose. Interestingly, peripheral blood white blood cell count was not shown to correlate with a response to plerixafor. Our results provide safety and efficacy data for the use of plerixafor in patients who are destined to fail chemomobilization.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Etoposide (VP16) is a drug used not only for the treatment of lymphoma but also for the collection of peripheral blood stem cells (PBSCs). We analysed the efficacy and adverse effects of collecting PBSCs and the relation between the infused cell dose and the clinical outcome in lymphoid malignancies. METHOD Investigating 30 patients with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, one patient with Hodgkin's lymphoma, and five patients with multiple myeloma, we compared the effects of several doses of etoposide with those of CHOP or CHOP-like treatments or salvage treatments. We also analysed the relation between the amount of CD34(+) cells collected (above or below 5.0 × 10(6) /kg/day) and prognosis of these patients. RESULTS We found the collected cell count to be highest in patients treated with 500 mg/m(2) of VP16 and lowest in those not treated with VP16 (P = 0.0073). A CD34(+) cell count above 100/μL on the collection day indicates that the target amount of CD34(+) cells (4.0 × 10(6) /kg) can be readily obtained and was reached most rapidly by the patients who had received 500 mg/m(2) of VP16 (P = 0.01). The longer duration of neutropenia in those patients (P = 0.000006) resulted in longer antibiotic treatment (P = 0.0052). Both progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) were better for the patients who yielded more than 5.0 × 10(6) CD34(+) cells/kg/day (P = 0.087 for PFS and P < 0.033 for OS). CONCLUSION We show here that 3 days of VP16 at 500 mg/m(2) was useful for the collection of PBSCs and that patients who yielded more than 5.0 × 10(6) CD34(+) cells/kg/day survived longer than those who yielded less.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate factors affecting peripheral blood hematopoietic stem cell yield in patients undergoing large-volume leukapheresis for autologous peripheral blood stem cell collection. METHODS Data from 304 consecutive autologous peripheral blood stem cell donors mobilized with hematopoietic growth factor (usually G-CSF), associated or not with chemotherapy, at Hospital Israelita Albert Einstein between February 1999 and June 2010 were retrospectively analyzed. The objective was to obtain at least 2 × 106 CD34+ cells/kg of body weight. Pre-mobilization factors analyzed included patient's age, gender and diagnosis. Post mobilization parameters evaluated were pre-apheresis peripheral white blood cell count, immature circulating cell count, mononuclear cell count, peripheral blood CD34+ cell count, platelet count, and hemoglobin level. The effect of pre and post-mobilization factors on hematopoietic stem cell collection yield was investigated using logistic regression analysis (univariate and multivariate approaches). RESULTS Pre-mobilization factors correlating to poor CD34 + cell yield in univariate analysis were acute myeloid leukemia (p = 0.017) and other hematological diseases (p = 0.023). Significant post-mobilization factors included peripheral blood immature circulating cells (p = 0.001), granulocytes (p = 0.002), hemoglobin level (p = 0.016), and CD34+ cell concentration (p < 0.001) in the first harvesting day. However, according to multivariate analysis, peripheral blood CD34+ cell content (p < 0.001) was the only independent factor that significantly correlated to poor hematopoietic stem cell yield. CONCLUSION In this study, peripheral blood CD34+ cell concentration was the only factor significantly correlated to yield in patients submitted to for autologous collection.

Abstract
Objective: To report on the use of plerixafor in a patient with multiple myeloma and dialysis-dependent renal failure. Case Summary: A 38-year-old man with multiple myeloma and dialysis-dependent renal failure was evaluated for stem cell transplantation. Stem cell mobilization with 6 doses of granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) 10 μg/kg/day yielded an inadequate maximum pre-apheresis CD34+ count of 5.6 cells/μL. The patient was treated with a postdialysis subcutaneous dose of plerixafor 160 μg/kg after 4 days of G-CSF therapy. After a single dose of plerixafor, the patient's pre-apheresis CD34+ count was 125.6 cells/μL. After 1 apheresis session, the stem cell collection yield was 5.33 × 105 CD34+ cells/kg. There were no observed plerixafor toxicities. The patient underwent successful autologous stem cell transplantation. Times to neutrophil and platelet engraftment were 12 and 15 days, respectively. At 100-day follow-up, the patient's myeloma was in remission and he met all criteria for durable engraftment. Discussion: Renal impairment is a common comorbidity in patients with multiple myeloma. Plerixafor is a chemokine receptor 4 antagonist approved for use to mobilize stem cells for collection and subsequent autologous transplantation in patients with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma and multiple myeloma. To date, there is limited information on safe and effective dosing and administration of plerixafor in patients who are dialysis-dependent. This report describes the use of plerixafor in a patient with multiple myeloma and dialysis-dependent renal failure. Conclusions: Based on our experience, we are instituting a policy to administer plerixafor at Food and Drug Administration–approved renal adjustment doses in patients on hemodialysis, with dialysis sessions scheduled prior to plerixafor administration and repeated as necessary after apheresis and prior to subsequent plerixafor doses. If clinically feasible, dialysis should be held during the days required to collect stem cells.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the methods and collection techniques currently used in stem cell mobilization for patients undergoing autologous transplantation. DATA SOURCES Literature search was performed through PubMed (1948-August 2009) and MEDLINE (1977-August 2009). Reference citations from publications identified were also reviewed. STUDY SELECTION AND DATA EXTRACTION All literature identified was reviewed for inclusion. Original research and retrospective cohorts, along with previously published systematic reviews of stem cell mobilization and growth factors, were evaluated. Abstract data on plerixafor were also reviewed. DATA SYNTHESIS Successful mobilization of an adequate number of progenitor cells can help ensure and improve time to neutrophil and platelet engraftment. A variety of methods have been studied to find the safest and most predictable mobilization of CD34+ progenitor cells, including use of single agents or the combinations of hematopoietic growth factors, chemotherapy, and a novel chemokine receptor 4 antagonist. Currently, granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) 10 Mg/kg daily started 4 days prior to apheresis remains the standard of care for initial mobilization therapy. In patients who fail to mobilize or who are at high risk for mobilization failure, cyclophosphamide in conjunction with G-CSF may be used. Plerixafor, a novel chemokine receptor antagonist, in combination with G-CSF has demonstrated superiority for achieving collection goals compared to G-CSF alone in 2 Phase 3 trials. CONCLUSIONS The optimal mobilization strategy is still unknown; however, colony-stimulating factors remain the most commonly used mobilization agents. Currently, chemotherapy or plerixafor in combination with G-CSF is a reasonable option in heavily pretreated and hard-to-mobilize patients with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma and multiple myeloma.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to observe the efficacy and toxicity of etoposide at two dose levels for peripheral blood stem cell (PBSC) mobilization and disease debulking in patients with malignancy. Simultaneously, factors affecting the yield of CD34+ cells were explored. METHODS Thirty-eight patients received etoposide 1.0 g/m2 (group A) or 1.5 g/m2 (group B) followed by granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) 300 microg/day for PBSC mobilization in a non-randomized manner. Each group had 19 patients. RESULTS The median number of CD34+ cells collected was 17.33 x 10(6)/kg (range 4.85-89.00 x 10(6)/kg) in group A and 26.54 x 10(6)/kg (range 1.85-108.00 x 10(6)/kg) in group B. Altogether, 34/38 (89.5%) patients obtained the target total collection of at least 4 x 10(6) CD34+ cells/kg by a single leukapheresis. Vomiting was the most common grade 3/4 non-hematologic toxicity. For 19 evaluable patients, partial response was achieved in four (21.1%), stable disease in 11 (57.8%) and progressive disease in four (21.1%) patients. All parameters between the two groups did not reach a significant level. With multivariate analysis, the most predictive factor for CD34+ yield of the first leukapheresis was the percentage of CD34+ CD38(-) cells in peripheral blood. CONCLUSION These results indicate that etoposide combined with G-CSF is an effective and tolerable regimen for PBSC mobilization, given at a dose of either 1.0 g/m2 or 1.5 g/m2.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Adverse events (AE) represent a significant clinical problem after infusion of cryopreserved HPC. However, the factors playing a role in the pathogenesis have not yet been fully established. METHODS We prospectively collected data on AE that occurred with 179 HPC infusions performed on patients affected with hematologic neoplasm after high-dose chemotherapy. The stem cell source was hemopoietic progenitor cells aphaeresis (HPC-A) in 157 cases and hemopoietic progenitor cell BM (HPC-BM) in 22 cases. In all cases, an endotoxin-free DMSO was used. RESULTS One or more AE were registered in 51/179 infusions (28.6%). The frequency of AE was higher after HPC-A than after HPC-BM (31.3% vs. 4.5%; chi(2) test, P =0.008). With univariate logistic regression, other factors found important for AE were age (P =0.028), number of total nucleated cells infused per kilogram (P =0.002), volume per kilogram infused (P =0.057), volume of packed RBC (P =0.019), a content of non-mononuclear cells >0.5 x 10(8)/kg (<P =0.0001) and actual time of infusion (P =0.058). When all aforementioned factors were evaluated with a multivariate logistic regression, only age of patient (P =0.024) and a content of non-mononuclear cells >0.5 x 10(8)/kg (P =0.0003) remained significant. A significant correlation existed between reduction of cardiac frequency both with volume per kilogram infused (r =0.221, P =0.02) and actual time of infusion (r =0.269, P =0.005). DISCUSSION Cardiovascular changes are influenced by volume per kilogram infused and by actual time of infusion, while non-cardiovascular AE are dependent on patient age and contamination by non-mononuclear cells in apheretic harvests.

Abstract
We conducted a prospective randomized clinical trial to assess the mobilizing efficacy of filgrastim, lenograstim and molgramostim following a disease-specific chemotherapy regimen. Mobilization consisted of high-dose cyclophosphamide in 45 cases (44%), and cisplatin/ifosfamide/etoposide or vinblastine in 22 (21%), followed by randomization to either filgrastim or lenograstim or molgramostim at 5 microg/kg/day. One hundred and three patients were randomized, and 82 (79%) performed apheresis. Forty-four (43%) patients were chemonaive, whereas 59 (57%) were pretreated. A median number of one apheresis per patient (range, 1-3) was performed. The median number of CD34+ cells obtained after mobilization was 8.4 x 10(6)/kg in the filgrastim arm versus 5.8 x 10(6)/kg in the lenograstim arm versus 4.0 x 10(6)/kg in the molgramostim arm (P=0.1). A statistically significant difference was observed for the median number of days of growth factor administration in favor of lenograstim (12 days) versus filgrastim (13 days) and molgramostim (14 days) (P<0.0001) and for the subgroup of chemonaive patients (12 days) versus pretreated patients (14 days) (P<0.001). In conclusion, all three growth factors were efficacious in mobilizing peripheral blood progenitor cells with no statistically significant difference between CD34+ cell yield and the different regimens, and the time to apheresis is likely confounded by the different mobilization regimens.

Abstract
We evaluated the efficiency of high doses of cyclophosphamide (6 g/m2) and etoposide (2 g/m2) plus filgrastim (granulocyte colony-stimulating factor; G-CSF) to mobilize autologous hematopoietic progenitor cells in patients with non-Hodgkin lymphoma, multiple myeloma, and Waldenström macroglobulinemia. We also evaluated the safety of this regimen and the engraftment kinetics after myeloablative chemotherapy. Seventy-nine patients with high-risk or relapsed/primary refractory non-Hodgkin lymphoma, multiple myeloma, or Waldenström macroglobulinemia were treated. The mobilizing regimen was as follows: cyclophosphamide 600 mg/m2 twice daily for 10 doses, etoposide 200 mg/m2 twice daily for 10 doses (continuous; n=57) or 2 g/m2 over 10 hours on day 5 of etoposide (bolus; n=22), and G-CSF 5 microg/kg/d beginning day 14. Fifty-nine percent of patients achieved the primary end point (a CD34 cell dose of 5 million per kilogram with a single leukapheresis). More bolus etoposide patients achieved the primary end point (86%) compared with continuous etoposide patients (47%; P<.0001). The CD34 cell dose collected was greater in bolus etoposide patients (44 million per kilogram) than in continuous etoposide patients (10.9 million per kilogram; P<.0001). Patients took 3 weeks to recover >500/microL neutrophils and >20000/microL platelets after cyclophosphamide and etoposide. The overall response rate was 69% for non-Hodgkin lymphoma patients and 71% for multiple myeloma/Waldenström macroglobulinemia patients. The treatment-related mortality was 2.5%. Sixteen percent of surviving patients experienced grade>or=3 nonhematologic toxicity. Patients receiving bolus etoposide had significantly less grade>or=2 oral mucositis, less use of total parenteral nutrition, and less need for red blood cell and platelet transfusions. Sixty-four patients (81%) underwent autologous hematopoietic progenitor cell transplantation, with prompt engraftment. Four patients (5%) did not undergo autologous hematopoietic progenitor cell transplantation because of toxicity from high-dose cyclophosphamide and etoposide. We conclude that high doses of cyclophosphamide and etoposide combined with G-CSF are an efficient and safe mobilizing regimen for the collection of hematopoietic progenitor cells during aggressive cytoreduction of tumor burden in patients with lymphoid malignancies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Peripheral blood progenitor cells (PBPCs) are often collected after mobilization with high-dose cyclophosphamide (HDC) combined with growth factors. HDC may not be needed for PBPC mobilization, and patients with lymphoid malignancies can be harvested with treatment regimens of chemotherapy. STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS A retrospective analysis was performed on 141 patients with lymphoma or multiple myeloma whose PBPCs were harvested after chemotherapy. The PBPC yield and time to mobilization was compared between patients who received HDC (n = 51) and other chemotherapy regimens (n = 90) including high-dose cyclophosphamide and etoposide (HDC plus VP-16; n = 41), CHOP, ESHAP, ABVD, VAD, and others (n = 49). A multiple linear regression model and proportional hazards model determined factors influencing yield and time to mobilization, respectively. RESULTS The difference in mean yield between HDC and all non-HDC regimens was significant, with HDC plus VP-16 resulting in the highest yields. The proportion of patients achieving a CD34 count in excess of 5 x 10(6) per kg did not differ significantly between the regimens. In a multiple linear regression model, HDC plus VP-16 resulted in a higher PBPC yield than HDC but all other regimens did not. In addition, patients exposed to more than one prior chemotherapy regimen had lower yield regardless of the mobilization regimen. The mean number of days to mobilization with HDC was 10.2 days, 17.1 days for HDC plus VP-16, and 14.2 days for all other regimens. The timing of mobilization was influenced by the chemotherapy used and the number of prior regimens in a proportional hazards model. CONCLUSION These results demonstrate a higher mean yield of PBPCs with HDC plus VP-16 but no difference in yield between non-HDC plus VP-16 regimens used for first-line or relapse therapy and HDC, suggesting that HDC may be an unnecessary additional therapy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND High-dose therapy with autologous peripheral blood progenitor cell support is widely utilized but requires successful CD34+ cell mobilization and collection. Chemotherapy plus growth factors appear to mobilize more CD34+ cells than growth factors alone. Because alterations in expression of adhesion molecules are important in the trafficking of hematopoietic progenitors, the possibility was explored that the mechanism of this superior mobilization may be greater down regulation of adhesion molecules. STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS The expression of eight adhesion molecules (CD11a, b, and c; 15s; 49d and e; 54; and 62L) on the collected CD34+ cells from 15 patients undergoing mobilization with chemotherapy plus granulocyte-colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) was compared with those of 14 concomitant patients receiving G-CSF alone. RESULTS Patients receiving chemotherapy plus G-CSF mobilized more CD34+ cells and did not differ in prior chemotherapy or radiation. There were no significant differences in the percentage of CD34+ cells expressing any of the adhesion molecules examined between the two groups. The chemotherapy plus G-CSF-mobilized cells consistently showed higher expression intensity, and this showed significance or a strong trend for CD11a and c, CD15s, and CD54. Despite these higher expression levels, there were no differences in engraftment kinetics. CONCLUSIONS CD34+ cells mobilized by chemotherapy plus growth factors appear to have higher intensities of expression of several adhesion molecules. The significance of this observation will require further study.

Abstract
The optimal approach to obtain an adequate graft for transplantation in patients with poor peripheral blood stem cell (PBSC) mobilization remains unclear. We retrospectively assessed the impact of different strategies of second-line stem cell harvest on the transplantation outcome of patients who failed PBSC mobilization in our institution. Such patients were distributed into three groups: those who proceeded to steady-state bone marrow (BM) collection (group A, n = 34); those who underwent second PBSC mobilization (group B, n = 41); those in whom no further harvesting was carried out (group C, n = 30). PBSC harvest yielded significantly more CD34+ cells than BM collection. Autologous transplantation was performed in 30, 23 and 11 patients from groups A, B and C, respectively. Engraftment data and transplantation outcome did not differ significantly between groups A and C. By contrast, group B patients had a faster neutrophil recovery, required less platelet transfusions and experienced less transplant-related morbidity, as reflected by lower antibiotics needs and shorter hospital stays. In conclusion, remobilization of PBSC constitutes an effective approach to ensure a rapid hematopoietic engraftment and a safe transplantation procedure for poor mobilizers, whereas unprimed BM harvest does not provide any clinical benefit in this setting.

Abstract
The ability of granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) and granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) administration to increase the content of blood leucocytes and hematopoietic progenitor cells (HPCs) is well established, yet the effect of these cytokines on immune function is less well described. Recent data indicate that plasmacytoid dendritic cells (DC2) may inhibit cellular immune response. We hypothesized that administration of the combination of G-CSF and GM-CSF after chemotherapy would reduce the type 2, or plasmacytoid, DC2 content of the autologous blood HPC grafts compared with treatment with G-CSF alone. To test this hypothesis, 35 patients with lymphoma and myeloma were randomized to receive either G-CSF or the combination of G-CSF plus GM-CSF after chemotherapy, and blood HPC grafts were collected by apheresis. Cytokine-related adverse events between the 2 groups were similar. More than 2 x 10(6)CD34 + cells per kilogram were collected by apheresis in 14 of 18 subjects treated with G-CSF and in 16 of 17 subjects treated with GM-CSF plus G-CSF ( p = not significant). There were minor differences between the 2 groups with respect to the content of T cells and CD34 + cells in the apheresis products. However, grafts collected from recipients of the combination of GM-CSF plus G-CSF had significantly fewer DC2 cells and similar numbers of DC1 cells compared with recipients treated with G-CSF alone. A third cohort of patients received chemotherapy followed by the sequential administration of G-CSF and the addition of GM-CSF 6 days later. Grafts from these patients had a markedly reduced DC2 content compared with those from patients treated either with G-CSF alone or with the concomitant administration of both cytokines. These data, and recent data that cross-presentation of antigen by DC2 cells may induce antigen-specific tolerance among T cells, suggest that GM-CSF during mobilization of blood HPC grafts may be a clinically applicable strategy to enhance innate and acquired immunity after autologous and allogeneic HPC transplantation.

Abstract
Although cryopreservation is the standard for autotransplantation, it has logistic and financial disadvantages in undeveloped countries such as Colombia. In 47 patients, peripheral blood was refrigerated at 4 degrees C up to 144 h before autotransplantation. For mobilization, 27 men and 20 women of median age 37 years affected with hematologic malignancies received G-CSF. The 17 patients in Group 1 showed pre-refrigeration CFU-GM of 2.62 x 10(5)/kg (range 0.36 to 16.6 x 10(5)/kg) and at re-infusion, 1.36 x 10(5)/kg (range 0 to 6.32 x 10(5)/kg) of 83% viability (range, 78% to 96%). These patients showed >0.5 x 10(9)/L granulocytes on day +11 (range, 9 to 15) and >20 x 10(9)/L platelets on day +16 (range, 11 to 44). The 25 patients in Group 2 showed CD34 of 3.9 x 10(6)/kg (range, 0.16 to 9 x 10(6)/kg) and mononuclear cell count (MNC) of 8.7 x 10(8)/kg, reaching >0.5 x 10(9)/L granulocytes at day +13 (range, 10 to 17) and >20 x 10(9)/L on day +15 (range, 14 to 20). Among the 5 patients in Group 3, the average of MNC of 12.7 x 10(8)/kg was reached and >0.5 x 10(9)/L granulocytes on day 11 (range, 10 to 16) and >20 x 10(9)/L on day 14 (range, 10 to 18). No differences were observed between the groups. Refrigeration of stem cells appears to be a simple, effective, and inexpensive method that should be considered for autotransplants within a few days of harvesting when resources are limited for long-term storage.
