Abstract <>The ACVBP regimen is commonly used in young poor-risk patients with DLBCL candidates to first line consolidative high-dose therapy followed by autologous stem cells transplantation in GELA trials. The combination with the monoclonal anti-CD20 antibody rituximab (R-ACVBP) is now routinely used, as induction treatment and to mobilize peripheral blood stem cell (PBSC). The aim of the present study was to assess the impact of rituximab on PBSC mobilization and collection in patients with newly diagnosed DLBCL receiving ACVBP chemotherapy. We reviewed the data from two prospective controlled trials. The first, conducted between 1999 and 2003, involved patients presenting with 2 or 3 adverse prognostic factors on the basis of the age-adjusted IPI (aa-IPI), treated by ACVBP (LNH 98B-3) (ASCO2007:8018). In the second trial (LNH 03-3B), conducted between 2004 and 2007, similar patients received the same initial inductive chemotherapy combined to rituximab (375mg/m2 at D1). 137 and 91 patients in the ACVBP and the R-ACVBP groups are here analyzed, respectively. Clinical and biological characteristics at diagnosis of the two groups of patients were similar (aa-IPI 2 and aa-IPI 3: 75% and 25%, respectively). The conditions for G-CSF administration and stem cell collections were identical. PBSC mobilizations were performed following the third or fourth cycle of (R)-ACVBP. The median delay between day 1 of chemotherapy and the first hemapheresis was identical for both groups. First hemapheresis was performed with a median peripheral white blood cell concentration of 16.2 x 109/l and 16.6 x 109/l for ACVBP and R-ACVBP groups, respectively. The median peak number of peripheral blood CD34+ cells observed the same day of first hemapheresis in ACVBP and R-ACVBP group was 69 x 106/l and 63 x 106/l, respectively (p = 0.5). The median number of CD34+ cells collected were 7.1 x 106 and 6.0 x 106 CD34 cells/kg for ACVBP and R-ACVBP groups (p = 0.12) while the median number of hemapheresis to target a minimal number of 3 x 106 CD34 cells/kg was identical, of one, in both groups. Failure of stem cell collection , defined as less than 3 x 106 CD34 cells/kg harvested, was observed in 8% and 4% of the patients who received ACVBP or R-ACVBP , respectively (p = 0.13). We conclude that rituximab combined to ACVBP regimen does not impair PBSC mobilization and collection.

7099 Background: 10 microg/kg/day of filgrastim and lenograstim have been recommended for mobilization of CD34+ cells without associated chemotherapy. However,in our previous randomized study we demonstrated that a 7.5 microg/kg/day dose of lenograstim has been as efficacious as 10 microg/kg/day of filgrastim. In this study, we investigated whether a reduced dose of lenograstim is equavalent to standard dose for autologous peripheral blood stem cell (PBSC) mobilization and transplantation. Methods: A total of 49 consecutive patients were randomized to either low dose (7.5 microg/kg/day, n = 24) or standard dose (10 microg/kg/day, n = 25) of lenograstim. These two groups were similar in regard to disease, sex, body weight, body surface area, conditioning regimens, previous chemotherapy cycles and radiotherapy. Each dose of lenograstim was administered for 4 consecutive days. The first PBSC apheresis was done on the 5th day. In the posttransplant period, lenograstim was given at 5 microg/kg/day until leukocyte engraftment. Results: Successful mobilization with the first apheresis, was achieved in 10/24 (42%) patients in low dose group versus 14/25 (56%) patients in standard dose group. No significant difference was seen in the median number of CD34+cells mobilized, as well as the median number of apheresis, median volume of apheresis, percentage of CD34+ cells, and CD34+ cell number. Leukocyte and platelet engraftments, the number of days requiring G-CSF and parenteral antibiotics, the number of transfusions were similar in both groups in the posttransplant period. Conclusions: Lenograstim 7.5 microg/kg/day is as efficious as Lenograstim 10 microg/kg/day for autologous PBSC mobilization and transplantation. No significant financial relationships to disclose.

Peripheral blood stem cell (PBSC) transplantation is a key treatment option for hematological diseases and widely performed in clinical practice. Platelet loss is the major complication of PBSC apheresis, and platelet-rich plasma (PRP) return is recommended in case of severe platelet decrease following apheresis; however, little is known about the frequency and severity of platelet loss nor the efficacy of PRP return post-apheresis. To address these questions, we assessed changes in platelet counts following PBSC-related apheresis in 270 allogeneic (allo)- and 105 autologous (auto)-PBSC settings. We also evaluated efficacy of PRP transfusion on platelet recovery post-apheresis. Platelet counts reduced up to 70% post-apheresis in both allo- and auto-PBSC settings, while severe platelet count decrease (< 50 x 109/L) was only observed in auto-PBSC patients (Figure 1). We next analyzed the relationship between severe platelet (< 50 x 109/L) after apheresis and several clinical factors by using univariate and multivariate analysis for auto-PBSC patients. As shown in Table 1, in univariate analysis, severe platelet counts following auto-PBSC apheresis was found more frequently in patients with lower platelet count, lower percentage of CD34+ cells in PB at pre-apheresis, repeated round of apheresis, and smaller number of collected CD34+ cells. On the other hand, in multivariate analysis, the white blood cell (WBC) counts pre-apheresis was the only significant risk factor of severe platelet count following apheresis (p = 0.038). We finally analyzed the transitions of platelet counts in the setting of apheresis. The median platelet counts at pre-apheresis, post-apheresis, and post-PRP return were 187.0 x 109/L, 132.0 x 109/L, and 154.0 x 109/L for allo-PBSC apheresis, and 147.0 x 109/L, 111.0 x 109/L, and 127.0 x 109/L for auto-PBSC apheresis (p < 0.0001 for all, allo-PBSC donors and auto-PBSC patients, respectively) (Figure 2), indicating that PRP return post-apheresis facilitated a rapid platelet recovery in both allo- and auto-settings. Collectively, our data suggest that WBC counts pre-apheresis is a useful predictor for severe platelet decrease following auto-PBSC apheresis and that PRP return is an effective mean to facilitate platelet recovery post-apheresis.

PURPOSE To evaluate the effects of chemotherapy regimens on peripheral-blood stem-cell (PBSC) yields in patients with breast cancer who receive granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF). PATIENTS AND METHODS One hundred patients with breast cancer received cyclophosphamide 4 g/m2 for dose (CY) (n = 10), CY and etoposide 600 mg/m2 (CE) (n = 13), CE and cisplatin 105 mg/m2 (CEP) (n = 19), or CY and paclitaxel 170 mg/m2 (n = 58), followed by G-CSF. PBSC collections were initiated when the WBC count recovered to greater than 1 x 10(9)/L. A multivariate analysis was undertaken to evaluate the effects of different chemotherapy regimens and patient variables on PBSC collections as measured by the yield of CD34+ cells. RESULTS The medians of average daily CD34+ cell yields for patients who received paclitaxel plus CY, CE, and CEP with G-CSF were 12.9, 11.03, and 5.37 x 10(6)/kg, respectively, compared with 2.02 x 10(6)/kg in the reference group that received CY with G-CSF (P = < .0001, .002, and .09, respectively). On first-day collections, patients who received paclitaxel plus CY, CE, and CEP with G-CSF yielded medians of 11.07, 8.09, and 3.52 x 10(6) CD34+ cells/kg, respectively, compared with 0.90 x 10(6)/kg in the reference group that received CY with G-CSF (P = .0006, .02, and .09, respectively). The number of previous cycles of chemotherapy, previous radiotherapy, marrow involvement, and phase and stage of disease did not have statistically significant effects on CD34+ cell yield. CONCLUSION Combination chemotherapy regimens were superior to single-agent CY for the mobilization of CD34+ cells.

Background:Low weight children can sometimes be selected as donor in HSCT. Donor with thalassemia minor has low MCV, which affects peripheral blood stem cell (PBSC) harvest. It is worthwhile to explore a harvest program for donors with low body weight and low MCV. Objective:The aim of this study is to find out an appropriate program of PBSC collection in children with low body weight and low MCV. Methods:10 children, with median age of 2 (1-6) years, average weight of 13.4 (9.5- 20) kg and average MVC value of 63fl (54-78)) were hospitalized in our center from October 2018 to July 2019 for stem cell mobilization. Donor weight were less than recipients in 7 cases. 5 donors have 5 kg less than recipient, 3 have 10 kg less and 1 has 18 kg less, respectively. They received G-CSF of 5 mg/kg/d twice a day for 5 days before harvest. 500 ml ACD-A solution and 3000 IU heparin were mixed and given by the ratio of 1 ml mixed anticoagulant versus 24 ml whole blood. Blood-flow was 25-40 ml/min. Results:More 20/ul CD34+ cells were harvested in 9 cases (90%), and 19.2/ul in 1 case (10%). Median nucleated cells were13.2(6.7-22.4)x108/kg in donor weightand 9.8 (8.3-13.9) x108/kg in recipient weight. The median CD34+ cells were 5 (1.9-10.2) x106/kg in donor weight and 3.4 (1.4-9.7) x106/kg in recipient weight. The coagulation function was normal in reexamination. PBSC were harvested only once in all donors. Average circulating volume was 2.48 (1.14-5.79) total body volume, average harvesting time was 2.75 (2-6) hours, and average PBSC volume was 89 (63-160) ml. Donor peripheral blood calcium and potassium ion concentration showed no obvious abnormality. Conclusion:Combination of citrate and heparin can be well used to collect PBSC in donors with low body weight and low MCV. All children were well tolerance to the program, which was safe and effective for large volume collection of PBSC. Disclosures No relevant conflicts of interest to declare.
