Abstract
7096 Background: The combination of dexamethasone and lenalidomide is currently considered one of the standards of care for induction therapy of patients with multiple myeloma (MM) before autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT). Increasing evidence suggests that lenalidomide impairs the ability to collect peripheral blood stem cells (PBSC). Methods: We retrospectively analyzed the outcomes of PBSC collections of MM patients who received induction therapy with dexamethasone and lenalidomide, and who were collected with either granulocyte-colony stimulating factor (G-CSF) alone, 10–16 mcg/Kg/day (group A, n= 12), or G-CSF 5 mcg/kg/day + mobilization chemotherapy, consisting of cyclophosphamide 5,000 mg/m2 and etoposide 1,000 mg/m2 (group B, n=27). In all patients, lenalidomide was stopped 2 weeks before the predicted day of PBSC collection. Results: The median number of PBSC collected was 3.2 million CD34+ cells/Kg in group A (range, 0.3–6.3) and 28.1 million CD34+ cells/Kg in group B (range, 4.8–134) (p<0.01). The median number of days to collect PBSC was 1 in group A (range, 1–4) and 2 in group B (range, 1–5) (p=0.015). Three patients in group A failed to collect an adequate number of PBSC, either for a single ASCT (n=1) or tandem ASCT (n=2). No PBSC collection failures were observed in group B. No difference in the rapidity of PBSC engraftment was seen between the two groups. Conclusions: Chemotherapy with cyclophophamide and etoposide can overcome the inhibitory effect of lenalidomide in the collection of PBSC for ASCT in MM patients. No significant financial relationships to disclose.

Abstract
Relapse after high-dose chemotherapy is the main cause of therapeutic failure in patients with metastatic breast cancer. Adoptive immunotherapy with interleukin-2 (IL-2) plus activated natural killer cells may eliminate residual disease without excessive toxicity. The authors sought to determine if immunotherapy immediately after transplantation would affect engraftment and the toxicity associated with transplantation. Fifteen consecutive patients with metastatic breast cancer were allocated to three cohorts. Cohort 1 (five patients) received high-dose cyclophosphamide, thiotepa, and carboplatin (CTCb) followed by peripheral blood stem cell infusion and granulocyte colony-stimulating factor at 10 micrograms/kg. Cohort 2 (five patients) received in addition rhIL-2 (2 x 10(6) IU/m2/day) for 4 days intravenously via continuous infusion after peripheral blood stem cell infusion. In cohort 3 (five patients), peripheral blood stem cell transplant was followed by infusion of autologous activated NK cells and rhIL-2 (2 x 10(6) IU/m2/day) for 4 days (via continuous intravenous infusion). Generation of activated NK cells was possible in all patients in cohort 3. All patients has successful engraftment. Median time to absolute neutrophil count more than 0.5 x 10(9)/L was 8 days (range, 8 to 11 days) in cohort 1, 9 days (range, 7 to 11 days) in cohort 2, and 9 days (range, 8 to 9 days) in cohort 3. Median time until the platelet count was more than 20 x 10(9)/L was 14 days (range, 9 to 22 days) in cohort 1, 11 days (range, 6 to 14 days) in cohort 2, and 12 days (range, 11 to 21 days) in cohort 3. All patients developed neutropenic fevers, but the overall toxicity associated with the infusion of IL-2 (cohort 2) or IL-2 plus activated NK cells (cohort 3) did not differ from that observed in cohort 1. Complete responses were achieved in one patient in cohort 1, in two patients in cohort 2, and in one patient in cohort 3. In conclusion, post-transplant adoptive immunotherapy with activated NK cells plus IL-2 is feasible, well tolerated, and does not adversely affect engraftment.

Abstract
Factors influencing mobilization and engraftment of PBSC were analyzed in 38 patients with metastatic breast cancer who were undergoing PBSC transplantation. None of these patients had had previous chemotherapy for metastatic disease. PBSC were mobilized with cyclophosphamide (CY) and G-CSF (n = 21) or CY and etoposide (CY-etoposide) and G-CSF (n = 17). All received cyclophosphamide 6000 mg/m2, thiotepa 500 mg/m2, and carboplatin 800 mg/m2 (CTCb) as preparative regimen. PBSC infusion was followed by G-CSF at 5 microg/kg in 30 patients or 10 microg/kg in 8 patients. A median number of 27 x 10(6) CD34+ cells/kg was obtained with a median of four aphereses. Previous chemotherapy, radiation therapy, marrow disease, time from previous chemotherapy to mobilization, and type of mobilization regimen did not have a statistically significant effect on collection efficiency (CE). CE was defined as the total number of CD34+ collected/number of collections. Engraftment was rapid, with patients reaching a neutrophil count of 0.5 x 10(9)/L a median of 9 days (range 7-23) and a platelet count of 20 x 10(9)/L a median of 12 days (range 8-28) after transplantation. Shorter times to platelet recovery were associated with a higher number of CD34+ cells infused (p = 0.012), CY mobilization (p = 0.033), and a lower number of prior chemotherapy cycles (p = 0.022). When the number of CD34+ cells was included in the proportional hazard model, no other variables were found to be significant predictors of platelet engraftment. Time to neutrophil recovery was negatively associated with the dose of G-CSF used after transplantation (p = 0.036) CD34 cell dose is an important predictor of engraftment kinetics. A posttransplant dose of G-CSF improves neutrophil recovery. For patients with metastatic breast cancer and no previous chemotherapy for metastatic disease, we have no evidence for a difference between CY and CY-Etoposide as the mobilization regimen.

Abstract
A multistep HDC regimen was designed as first-line chemotherapy for MBC. Twenty-four patients with MBC and no previous chemotherapy for metastatic disease were treated with high-dose cyclophosphamide (5000 mg/m2), and etoposide (1000 mg/m2) (CyVP16), followed by granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF). Peripheral blood stem cells (PBSCs) were collected. Subsequently patients received cyclophosphamide (6000 mg/m2), thiotepa (500 mg/m2) and carboplatin (800 mg/m2) (CTCb) with hematopoietic rescue. Upon recovery from hematopoietic and gastrointestinal toxicity three cycles of doxorubicin (50 mg/m2) and taxol (150 mg/m2) were delivered. After CyVP16 42% of patients developed neutropenic fevers. There was one documented episode of bacteremia. Patients received CTCb 32 days after starting CyVP16. After CTCb the median number of days to ANC >5 x 10(9)/l was 10 and to a platelet count >20 x 10(9)/l was 14. Neutropenic fevers developed in 16 patients. There were no hemorrhagic episodes. A total of 69 cycles of doxorubicin and taxol were delivered (87% of planned). The median time from PBSC infusion to the first cycle was 38 days. The median time to the second cycle was 27 days and to the last cycle was 24 days. One patient developed congestive heart failure. Two episodes of neutropenic fevers were observed. No toxicity-related deaths were observed. Grafts are stable at 6 months post transplantation. This multistep regimen is feasible with acceptable toxicity.

Abstract
Transplantation of marrow from unrelated donors is associated with an increased incidence and severity of graft-versus-host disease (GVHD). In an attempt to minimize GVHD without compromising engraftment, unrelated donor marrow was depleted of lymphocytes by counterflow centrifugal elutriation (CCE), and a fixed dose of 0.5 x 10(6) CD3+ T cells/kg, as measured in real time by flow cytometry, was added back to the graft. Patients received cyclosporine (CYA) and corticosteroids for GVHD prophylaxis and to facilitate engraftment. In the first cohort (study I), 7 patients received busulfan (16 mg/kg) and cyclophosphamide (120 mg/kg) (CY) and one patient received CY (200 mg/kg) + 1260 cGy fractionated TBI. Of 6 who were evaluable for both engraftment and rejection, 4 rejected their graft. The study was terminated, and the protocol was modified (study II) by the addition of antithymocyte globulin (ATG) to the pre-BMT and post-BMT therapy. Twelve patients received CY + TBI as above plus ATG given pre-BMT and post-BMT. Ten of twelve who received ATG engrafted. Twelve patients from studies I and II were evaluable for acute GVHD. Two developed grade I acute GVHD. Two patients developed grade II acute GVHD, 2 patients developed grade III GVHD, and 1 patient developed grade IV acute GVHD. Two of three cases of acute GVHD (> grade II) occurred later than day 100 after BMT concomitant with reduction of immunosuppressive therapy. The rate of engraftment was significantly higher in study II (p = .054). In numbers of CD34+ cells infused, numbers of CFU-GM infused, and numbers of nucleated cells did not correlate with engraftment. We conclude that (a) in contrast to the results seen in recipients of marrow from HLA-matched sibling donors, the depletion of unrelated donor marrow of all but 0.5 x 10(6) CD34+ cells/kg together with CYA + corticosteroids was not sufficient to facilitate engraftment. The use of a more immunosuppressive regimen containing TBI and ATG appeared to improve engraftment. (b) The reduction of the graft T cell dose to 0.5 x 10(6) CD34+ cells/kg resulted in a higher incidence of acute GVHD than that seen in recipients of marrow from genotypically identical donors whose marrow was similarly processed.

Abstract
The combination of busulfan and cyclophosphamide has seldom been employed as a conditioning regimen for patients with lymphoma. Twenty patients with relapsed or refractory lymphoma were treated with busulfan (16 mg/kg) and cyclophosphamide (120 mg/kg) (BU/CY) followed by peripheral blood stem cell rescue in 19 patients or autologous bone marrow in one patient. There were 12 females and eight males, with a median age of 48 years (range 30-65). Four patients had Hodgkin's disease, and 16 patients had non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. Disease status at the time of BU/CY was: first relapse in 10 patients (four patients with chemosensitive disease and six patients with chemoresistant disease), primary refractory disease in six patients, and more advanced disease in four patients. Excessive treatment-related toxicity was not noted. There were no cases of interstitial pneumonitis, but three cases of veno-occlusive disease occurred. At 2 years, the estimated overall survival and event-free survival are 50% and 33%. We concluded that BU/CY seems to have sufficient antilymphoma activity, is devoid of excessive toxicity and warrants further investigation in this patient population.

Abstract
High-dose chemotherapy is associated with a high complete response rate and possibly some survival advantage in patients with metastatic breast cancer. We designed a clinical trial consisting of a two-step high-dose chemotherapy regimen followed by posttransplantation doxorubicin as the first chemotherapy treatment for metastatic disease. Twenty-one patients with metastatic breast cancer and no previous chemotherapy for metastatic disease were treated with high-dose cyclophosphamide (Cy; 5000 mg/m2), followed by granulocyte colony-stimulating factor. Peripheral blood stem cells were collected. Subsequently, patients received Cy (6000 mg/m2), thiotepa (500 mg/m2), and carboplatin (800 mg/m2) (CTCb) with hematopoietic rescue. Upon recovery of hematopoietic and gastrointestinal toxicity, three cycles of doxorubicin (Dox; 60 mg/m2) were delivered. After Cy, nine patients (45%) developed neutropenic fevers. There were no episodes of bacteremia. Patients received CTCb 37 days after starting Cy and had a hospital stay of 19 days. After CTCb, the median number of days to an absolute neutrophil count >5 x 10(9)/liter was 8, and the median number of days to a platelet count >20 x 10(9)/liter was 9. Neutropenic fevers occurred in 12 patients. There were no hemorrhagic complications. Fifty-five of the 63 planned courses of Dox were delivered. The median time from peripheral blood stem cell infusion to the first Dox cycle was 38 days. The median time to the second Dox cycle was 28 days, and to the last cycle was 30 days. Three episodes of neutropenic fevers were observed. Two patients developed herpes zoster. This regimen is feasible, with acceptable toxicity.

Abstract
We have previously postulated that donor cell chimerism in organ transplantation is needed to attain a tolerant state. Here we show that donor cell chimerism can be augmented in organ recipients if they are infused perioperatively with 3 x 10(8) per kg of unmodified donor bone marrow cells and are kept on a conventional immunosuppressive regimen of tacrolimus (FK506) and prednisolone. 36 patients took part, of whom the first 18 patients have good transplanted kidney (n = 10), liver (n = 7), and heart (n = 7) function when followed up between 4 and 16 months. All patients are well. We found persistent multilineage leucocyte chimerism in blood of 17 recipients by flow cytometry and PCR techniques to detect donor alleles or Y chromosomes in female recipients of male organs. The use of the 5-antigben HLA matched same sex donor precluded detection of chimerism in one patient.

Abstract
Allogeneic bone marrow transplants with major ABO incompatibility may be associated with delayed erythroid engraftment. A case of a male patient with erythroleukemia (blood group O) who received a bone marrow transplant from an HLA-identical sibling (blood group AB) is reported. The bone marrow transplantation was followed by normal myeloid and megakaryocytic engraftment, but pure red cell aplasia was present for more than 230 days after bone marrow transplant. Despite documentation of an elevated endogenous erythropoietin level (360 mU/mL; normal value, < 19 mU/mL) during the period of absent erythropoiesis, erythroid engraftment was observed soon after the initiation of human recombinant erythropoietin at a dose of 50 U per kg daily. This experience suggests that high-dose erythropoietin may stimulate sufficient production of erythroid precursors to overcome circulating inhibitors resulting in the correction of pure red cell aplasia.

Abstract
Persistent thrombocytopenia after allogeneic marrow transplantation is associated with poor patient survival. To identify the mechanisms of the thrombocytopenia, we studied platelet and fibrinogen kinetics and antiplatelet antibodies in 20 patients between 60 and 649 days (median 90) after transplantation. Seventeen patients had isolated thrombocytopenia (less than 100 X 10(9) platelets/L): the marrow cellularity was normal in five patients and slightly reduced in 12, and there was no discrepancy between thrombopoiesis and myeloerythropoiesis. Three patients had pancytopenia following marrow graft rejection (two) and relapse of leukemia (one). Only three patients had evidence of increased platelet production, indicating that in most cases there is a poor marrow response to thrombocytopenia early after marrow grafting. There was no correlation between platelet count and splenic pooling, suggesting that hypersplenism was an unlikely mechanism of the thrombocytopenia. Although there was a direct relationship between platelet count and platelet survival, the reduction in platelet survival was greater than what could be explained by the fixed platelet removal found in thrombocytopenic patients; this suggests increased platelet destruction. Seven patients had intercurrent infections that reduced both platelet and fibrinogen survivals. In addition, platelet antibodies bound to autologous or marrow donor platelets were present in five of the 12 patients studied. Patients with antiplatelet antibodies had lower platelet counts (30 +/- 10 X 10(9)/L v. 49.1 +/- 28.7 X 10(9)/L, P less than 0.05) and platelet survivals (1.32 +/- 0.92 days v. 3.58 +/- 2.02 days, P less than 0.05) than patients without antiplatelet antibodies. Furthermore, platelet-bound autoantibodies were present in five of six patients with grade II-IV acute or chronic graft-versus-host disease (GVHD), but were not present in six patients free of GVHD (P less than 0.01). We conclude that persistent thrombocytopenia after marrow transplantation is most often secondary to increased platelet destruction mediated by multiple mechanisms and that platelet autoantibodies are found in patients with acute or chronic GVHD.
