Granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) effectively mobilises haematopoietic stem cells to the peripheral blood. It is unclear whether the mobilisation of stem cells with lenograstim (glycosylated G-CSF) or filgrastim (non-glycosylated G-CSF) leads to a higher cell number of collected engraft able progenitor cells. Thus, we investigated harvesting efficiency of the licensed G-CSF preparations in mobilising peripheral stem cells in a randomised study. A total of 501 healthy unrelated donors, including 339 males and 162 females received either lenograstim (n = 261) or filgrastim (n = 240) at 10 microg/kg body weight (BW) per day. Aphaeresis was performed on day 5 and, if necessary, on day 6 of mobilisation. The number of CD34+ cells collected was 11.5% higher in the lenograstim group (7.19 x 10(6) vs. 6.44 x 10(6)/kg BW donor; P < 0.03). Univariate variance analysis revealed that this effect was caused by male donors: more progenitors cells per kg BW of the donor (7.73 x 10(6) vs. 6.88 x 10(6); P < 0.017) and of the recipient (10.1 x 10(6) vs. 8.88 x 10(6), P < 0.029) could be harvested. There was no significant difference in the percentage of donors in whom a second aphaeresis was required (9.6% vs. 11.6%). Lenograstim mobilises progenitor cells into the peripheral blood more effectively in males than filgrastim.
