Popis: In our single-center study, 357 myeloma and lymphoma patients between 2009 and 2019 were mobilized with granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF 7.5 µg/kg bid for four days) plus a fixed dose of 24 mg Plerixafor when indicated (Plerixafor Group, n = 187) or G-CSF alone (G-CSF Group, n = 170). The target CD34 cell yields were ≥2.0 × 106 CD34+ cells/kg in lymphoma and ≥4.0 × 106 CD34+ cells/kg in myeloma patients to enable putative second transplants in the latter. There were no significant differences in engraftment kinetics or transfusion requirements between the Plerixafor Group and the control group in the myeloma cohort, with lymphoma patients not requiring Plerixafor showing significantly faster neutrophil recovery, a trend to faster platelet recovery, and a significantly lower need for platelet transfusions, probably due to the significantly lower number of CD34-positive cells re-transfused. While in myeloma patients the outcome (overall survival, progression-free survival) following autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) was similar between the Plerixafor Group and the control group, hard to mobilize lymphoma patients had significantly poorer progression-free survival (47% vs. 74% at 36 months after ASCT, p = 0.003) with a trend also to poorer overall survival (71% vs. 84%). In conclusion, while there seem to be no differences in stemness capacity and long-term engraftment efficiency between the Plerixafor and the G-CSF Group in lymphoma as well as myeloma patients, poor mobilizing lymphoma patients per se constitute a high-risk population with a poorer outcome after ASCT. Whether disease characteristics and/or a more intense or stem cell-toxic pre-mobilization chemo-/radiotherapy burden in this cohort are responsible for this observation remains to be shown in future studies.
