Background:
The optimal regimen for peripheral blood stem cell (PBSC) mobilization in patients with multiple myeloma undergoing autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (auto-HCT) has not been established. Experience at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center suggests in addition to single-agent cyclophosphamide (Cy), modified cyclophosphamide, vincristine, doxorubicin, and dexamethasone (mCVAD), and modified cyclophosphamide, bortezomib, doxorubicin, and dexamethasone (mCBAD) may be successful chemomobilization regimens.
Methods:
This retrospective review included 167 patients (66 with Cy, 74 with mCVAD, and 27 with mCBAD) with multiple myeloma undergoing mobilization for auto-HCT between January 1, 2006 and September 30, 2013. The primary objective was to evaluate and compare the successful mobilization of CD34+ cells among high-dose Cy, mCVAD or mCBAD.
Results:
Successful mobilization (≥2×106 CD34+ cells/kg) was achieved in all patients, while 65 (98%), 72 (97%), and 27 (100%) patients achieved an optimal mobilization (≥4×106 CD34+ cells/kg) in the Cy, mCVAD, and mCBAD groups, respectively. There was no significant difference in the number of apheresis sessions (P=.63), incidence of febrile neutropenia (P=.57), or hospital admission rates (P=.55).
Conclusion:
Either Cy, mCVAD, or mCBAD can yield successful PBSC mobilization in patients with multiple myeloma undergoing auto-HCT.
