Experience with stem cell collection for children with Transfusion-dependent thalassemia undergoing gene therapy

Efficacy and Risk Factors Analysis of Upfront Autologous Stem Cell Mobilization Using Plerixafor and Granulocyte-Colony Stimulating Factor (GCSF) in Patients with Multiple Myeloma

The successful mobilization and collection of hematopoietic stem cells are dependent on a number of clinical factors such as previous chemotherapy and disease stage. The aim of this retrospective study was to determine whether the effectiveness of mobilization and collection is an independent prognostic factor for autologous stem cell transplantation outcome. A total of 358 patients who received transplants from January 2003 to December 2004 (201 male and 157 female patients, ages from 2.7 to 77.3 years with median of 53 years of age) underwent autologous hematopoietic stem cell collection after mobilization with granulocyte-colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) or G-CSF plus chemotherapy priming. This retrospective study included patients with diagnoses of acute myelogenous leukemia, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, Hodgkin's disease, multiple myeloma, and solid tumors. All patients underwent stem cell collection until a target or a minimum CD34+ cell dose was reached. Correlations were performed between stem cell mobilization and/or collection efficacy and transplantation outcomes. In general, both larger reinfused CD34+ cell dose and shorter number of days for the stem cell count to reach the minimum of 2 x 10(6) per kg CD34+ cells do not foster quicker engraftment. Reinfused CD34+ cell dose of less than 12 x 10(6) and number of days stem cell collection to reach this minimum CD34+ cell dose did not independently affect the overall survival (OS) or disease-free survival (DFS). The effectiveness of hematopoietic stem cell mobilization and collection as defined as number of days to reach a CD34+ cell dose of 2 x 10(6) per kg should not be used independently to forecast posttransplantation prognosis, engraftment, DFS, and OS.

Forty-one patients with multiple myeloma were treated with a novel stem cell mobilisation regimen. The primary end points were adequate stem cell mobilising ability (>1% circulating CD34-positive cells) and collection (> or = 4 x 10(6) CD34-positive cells/kg), and safety. The secondary end point was activity against myeloma. The regimen (d-TEC) consisted of dexamethasone, paclitaxel 200 mg/m(2) i.v., etoposide 60 mg/kg i.v., cyclophosphamide 3 g/m(2) i.v., and G-CSF 5-10 microg/kg/day i.v. A total of 84 cycles were administered to these 41 individuals. Patient characteristics included a median age of 53 years, a median of five prior chemotherapy cycles, and a median interval of 10 months from diagnosis of myeloma to first cycle of d-TEC. Seventy-five percent of the patients had stage II or III disease, 50% had received carmustine and/or melphalan previously, and 25% had received prior radiation therapy. Eighty-eight percent of patients mobilised adequately after the first cycle of d-TEC and 91% mobilized adequately after the second cycle. An adequate number of stem cells were collected in 32 patients. Of the remaining nine patients, three mobilised, but stem cells were not collected, two mobilised but stem cell collection was < 4 x 10(6) CD34-positive cells/kg, three did not mobilise, and one died of disease progression. Major toxicities included pancytopenia, alopecia, fever and stomatitis. One patient died from multi-organ failure and progressive disease. Fifty percent of evaluable patients demonstrated a partial response and 28.6% of patients had a minor response. This novel dose-intense regimen was safe, capable of stem cell mobilisation and collection, even in heavily pre-treated patients, and active against the underlying myeloma.
