Mobilised peripheral blood stem cells are widely used for autografting in patients with chronic myeloid leukaemia (CML) and it is generally thought that a high proportion of Ph-negative progenitor cells in the graft is desirable. We report here the results of 91 stem cell mobilisations performed with various chemotherapy regimens followed by G-CSF. We show that mobilisation of Ph-negative cells is possible after diagnosis as well as in advanced stages of the disease. The yield of Ph-negative cells is highly dependent on the chemotherapy regimen: while the combination of idarubicin and cytarabin for 3-5 days (IC3-5) mobilised Ph-negative cells in most patients, high-dose cyclophosphamide was ineffective. Mobilisation of Ph-negative progenitor cells after IC3 was at least as effective as after IC5; however, less apheresis sessions were required, and toxicity was much reduced after IC3. Compared to historical controls, IC was equally effective as the widely used ICE/miniICE (idarubicin, cytarabin, etoposide) protocol. No correlation was found between graft quality and the cytogenetic response to subsequent treatment with interferon-alpha. We conclude that IC3 is an effective and well-tolerated regimen for mobilising Ph-negative cells that compares well with more aggressive approaches such as IC5 and ICE/miniICE.
