Review
Collection of adequate hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) is necessary for successful autologous transplantation; however, a proportion of patients fail to collect the minimum number of cells required. We summarized the efficacy and safety of HSC mobilization strategies. We performed a systematic review of randomized controlled trials comparing HSC mobilization strategies before autologous transplantation for hematologic malignancies. The primary outcome was CD34+ cell yield. Secondary outcomes included number of aphereses, proportion of failures, rate of count recovery, and adverse events. We identified 28 articles within 3 broad strategies. Using a cyclophosphamide with growth factor strategy (10 articles), CD34+ cell yield is improved by addition of molgramostim to cyclophosphamide (1.4 vs 0.5 × 10(6)/kg; P = .0165), addition of cyclophosphamide to filgrastim (7.2 vs 2.5 × 10(6)/kg; P = .004), and addition of ancestim to cyclophosphamide and filgrastim (12.4 vs 8.3 × 10(6)/kg; P = .007). Within a growth factor-based strategy (6 articles), addition of plerixafor improves CD34+ cell yield over filgrastim alone in multiple myeloma (MM; 11.0 vs 6.2 × 10(6)/kg; P < .001) and non-Hodgkin lymphoma (5.69 vs 1.98 × 10(6)/kg; P < .01). With combination or noncyclophosphamide-based chemotherapy (12 articles), higher-dose filgrastim (8.2 vs 4.7 × 10(6)/kg for 16 vs 8/mcg/kg daily of filgrastim, respectively; P < .0001) and addition of rituximab to etoposide and filgrastim (9.9 vs 5.6 × 10(6)/kg; P = .021) improve CD34+ cell yield. Growth factor alone after chemotherapy, ancestim, or plerixafor provide adequate autologous HSC grafts for the majority of patients. Although some strategies result in higher CD34+ cell yield, this potentially comes at the expense of increased toxicity. As all strategies are reasonable, programmatic, and patient-specific considerations must inform the approach to autologous graft mobilization.

Clinical Trial Comparative Study Randomized Controlled Trial
Recombinant methionyl human stem cell factor and filgrastim for peripheral blood progenitor cell mobilization and transplantation in non-Hodgkin's lymphoma patients--results of a phase I/II trial.
To examine the safety and efficacy of recombinant-methionyl human stem cell factor (r-metHuSCF), 38 patients with intermediate-grade or immunoblastic high-grade non-Hodgkin's lymphoma who were eligible for autologous transplantation were randomized to receive r-metHuSCF (5, 10, 15, or 20 microg/kg/d) plus Filgrastim (10 microg/kg/d) or Filgrastim (10 microg/kg/d) alone to mobilize peripheral blood progenitor cells. Subcutaneous administration of r-metHuSCF was well tolerated in conjunction with a multi-agent pre-medication regimen; local injection site reactions were the most commonly seen adverse event. The total mononuclear cell count, CD34+ cell content, granulocyte-macrophage colony-forming cells (GM-CFC), and burst-forming units-erythroid (BFU-E) per kilogram in the apheresis product was similar when all patients were analyzed by treatment cohort and mobilization regimen (Filgrastim or r-metHuSCF in combination with Filgrastim); however, when prior chemotherapy was taken into account in a supplementary analysis, clinically important differences were observed. Extensive prior therapy was defined as the amount of exposure to specific stem cell toxic chemotherapeutic agents that patients received. These agents include procarbazine, nitrogen mustard, melphalan, nitrosoureas (> or = 2 cycles of any of these drugs) or greater than 7.5 g of cytosine arabinoside. In these patients, there was an increased number of CD34+ cells (1.76 v 0.28 x 10(6)/kg), GM-CFC (20.5 v 5.0 x 10(4)/kg), and BFU-E (36.9 v 8.9 x 10(4)/kg) in patients receiving r-metHuSCF and Filgrastim (N = 18) compared with Filgrastim alone (N = 5). These patients also had a decreased time to an untransfused platelet count of 20 x 10(9)/L that was 10.5 days shorter in the patients who received r-metHuSCF and Filgrastim (12.5 v 23 days). These differences were not found to be statistically significant, possibly because of small size, but are clinically important.
