Popis: The aim of this study was to compare both the effects on hematologic recovery and circulating progenitor cell mobilization and the toxicity of three cytokine regimens administered after high-dose non-myeloablative chemotherapy with cyclophosphamide 5 g/m2, etoposide 1.5 g/m2 and cisplatin 150 mg/m2. Thirty-five consecutive patients were non-random sequentially allocated to one of three treatment groups: (1) granulocyte colony-stimulating factor alone (n = 15); (2) granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor alone (n = 10), and (3) sequential interleukin-3 and granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (n = 10). Neutrophil recovery in group 1 was significantly hastened as compared to the two other groups (median 2 days, p < 0.005), while no significant differences were observed between groups 2 and 3. CD34+ cells peaked about 2 days earlier in group 1 compared to the other groups (p = 0.0001), whereas the median peak value of CD34+ cells was similar in the three groups. In all patients, the toxicity related to cytokine administration was low and easily manageable with nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs.
