A study was conducted to compare the efficiency and toxicity of two peripheral blood stem cell (PBSC) mobilization procedures for newly diagnosed patients with multiple myeloma. Patients from group 1 (n=51) were treated by high-dose cyclophosphamide (HD-CY) plus G-CSF (5 microg/kg/day), and the second group (n=31) by VAD regimen plus G-CSF administration (10 microg/kg/day). Successful mobilization, defined by a minimal count of 2.5 x 10(6) CD34(+) cells/kg collected, was achieved in 96 and 90% of patients in groups 1 and 2, respectively (P=0.15). The mean peripheral blood CD34(+) cells concentration and the mean CD34(+) cells/kg collected were higher in group 2 than in the group 1 (P=0.05). The mean number of leukaphereses necessary to collect a count of 2.5 x 10(6) CD34(+) cells/kg was reduced in group 2 compared to group 1. Adverse events, blood products consumption and time spent in the hospital were significantly greater after HD-CY. In conclusion, VAD plus a G-CSF dose of 10 microg/kg administration seems preferential to HD-CY plus a G-CSF dose of 5 microg/kg for PBSC collection because of equivalent or better efficiency in stem cell mobilization, strong favorable toxicity profile and reduced cost.

pubmed:articleTitle
The VAD chemotherapy regimen plus a G-CSF dose of 10 microg/kg is as effective and less toxic than high-dose cyclophosphamide plus a G-CSF dose of 5 microg/kg for progenitor cell mobilization: results from a monocentric study of 82 patients.
