In patients with hematologic malignancies, granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) following chemotherapy is widely used to mobilize peripheral blood progenitor cells (PBPCs), but there have been no trials comparing schedules of G-CSF following chemotherapy. We conducted a prospective randomized comparative observation of the mobilization with a single dose (10 microg kg once a day) or split dose (5 microg kg twice a day) of lenograstim following chemotherapy in 25 multiple myeloma (MM) and 15 non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) patients. Chemotherapy was cyclophosphamide 4 g/m2 for MM and ESHAP with or without Rituximab for NHL. The median number of harvested CD34+ cells was 19.4 x 10(6)/kg and 15.8 x 10(6)/kg in the single- and split-dose groups, respectively (p=0.47). Targeted collection of 5 x 10(6) CD34+ cells/kg was achieved in 18/20 patients in the single-dose group and in all 20 patients of the split-dose group (p=0.24), with the median number of sessions 1 and 2 in the single- and split-dose groups, respectively (p=0.13). We could not observe statistically significant differences between a single-dose and split-dose lenograstim following chemotherapy in enhancing the mobilization of PBPCs in MM or NHL patients.

Mannitol for bowel preparation: Efficacy and safety results from the SATISFACTION randomised clinical trial.

Dig Liver Dis

February 2025

Praxis für Gastroenterologie und Fachärztliche Innere Medizin, Im Haus der Gesundheit, Ludwigshafen am Rhein, Germany.

Background: Bowel preparation represents a significant issue to high-quality colonoscopy. Oral mannitol requires a single dose, is of low volume, and has a pleasant taste and rapid action.

Aims: This SATISFACTION study compared single-dose (same day) oral mannitol 100 g/750 mL with standard split-dose PEG-ASC2 L (MoviPrep®).

Background And Objectives: Peritoneal metastasis from colorectal cancer carries a high risk for relapse after cytoreductive surgery and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (CRS-HIPEC). A novel alpha-emitting radiopharmaceutical (Radspherin) has been designed to deliver short-range radiation to micrometastases and free-floating tumor cells.

Methods: A Phase 1/2a study evaluated the safety, tolerability, and signal of efficacy of escalating doses of Radspherin injected intraperitoneally after CRS-HIPEC.

Background: The unpleasant taste of polyethylene glycol (PEG) has been a hindrance to patients undergoing colonoscopy.

Aim: This study aims to determine whether the addition of a vitamin drink (Mizone) to the 4L split-dose PEG regimen would be effective in improving the solution's palatability, and reducing patient discomfort during bowel preparation.

Methods: The present prospective, single endoscopist-blinded, randomized controlled study randomly assigned patients into two groups: PEG + Mizone group (3.
