Abstract EN
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 ≥2×106 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.
