Poor mobilizer and its countermeasures.
Transfusion and Apheresis Science 2018 September 12
Mobilization failure is a major concern in patients undergoing hematopoietic cell transplantation, especially in an autologous setting, as almost all donor harvests can be accomplished with granulocyte-colony stimulating factor (G-CSF) alone. Poor mobilizers, defined as those with a peripheral blood CD34+ cell count ≤20 cells/μl after mobilization preceding apheresis is a significant risk factor for mobilization failure. We recommend preemptive plerixafor plus G-CSF (filgrastim, 10 μg/kg daily) as a first mobilization strategy, which yields sufficient peripheral blood progenitor cells (PBPCs) in almost all patients and avoids otherwise unnecessary remobilization. Preemptive plerixafor is administered in patients with a day-4 peripheral blood CD34+ count <15, depending on the disease and the target PBPC amount. Cyclophosphamide is reserved for patients who fail the first PBPC collection. We recommend second mobilization for patients who could not achieve a sufficient PBPC amount with the first mobilization. In these patients, a second attempt with plerixafor plus G-CSF or mobilization with plerixafor in combination with cyclophosphamide and G-CSF is recommended. Increased dose and/or twice daily administration of G-CSF can be considered.
