Mozobil for Autologous Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation

This is a prospective, single-arm, open-label clinical trial designed to evaluate the incidence of engraftment syndrome and the efficacy of using granulocyte colonystimulating factor (G-CSF) as the primary agent for stem cell mobilization in patients undergoing autologous stem cell transplantation. The study aims to determine whether selective use of Plerixafor, administered only when necessary, can reduce the incidence of engraftment syndrome compared to a historical rate of 54%, where seventy patients with multiple myeloma or lymphoma were treated with autologous HSCT after stem cell mobilization with GCSF plus plerixafor from 2017-2021 at our institution (27).

All patients will receive G-CSF (peg-filgrastim or filgrastim) starting on day -4, prior to planned peripheral blood stem cell collection on day 0. All patients will proceed with stem cell collection on day 0. Collection will be performed via apheresis, with a collection target of approximately 3 x 106 CD34+ cells/kg of body weight. If less than 1.7 x 106 CD34+ cells/kg is collected after the first day or the target number of stem cells is not reached after two days, Plerixafor will be administered, and additional collection days will be added until the collection goal is reached. The pre-collection CD34+ cell count in peripheral blood will be measured for all participants on day 0 but will not be used to determine whether Plerixafor will be administered. The correlation between pre-collection CD34+ cell count and stem cell collection yield has been well-established (31-33).

The primary objective of the trial is to assess the incidence of engraftment syndrome, defined by clinical symptoms such as fever, rash, and capillary leakage. Incidence of engraftment syndrome will be reported separately for patients who did or did not receive Plerixafor. Secondary objectives include evaluating the efficacy of stem cell mobilization, the time to neutrophil and platelet engraftment post-transplant, the number of collection days required, length of hospital stay, patient disease response, cell composition of the collected product, and cytokine analysis.

Patients will be closely monitored throughout the mobilization and collection process, with routine blood tests performed to assess CD34+ levels, engraftment markers, and any adverse events, including engraftment syndrome. Flow cytometry will be utilized to assess the cellular composition of the collected stem cells, including measurements of CD34+ cells, mononuclear cells, lymphocyte subsets (CD3+, CD4+, CD8+), and NK cells. Additionally, cytokine levels will be measured from each subject prior to stem cell mobilization, day 10, and day 28 post-transplant. These measurements will be analyzed using appropriate assays to investigate their potential roles in the development of engraftment syndrome. The study will provide a comprehensive evaluation of whether limiting Plerixafor use can effectively reduce complications while maintaining sufficient stem cell yield for transplantation.
