Background: The current standard of care for transplant-eligible myeloma patients is novel agent-based induction, followed by high-dose chemotherapy and autologous stem cell rescue. Chemo-mobilization of peripheral blood CD34 stem cells (PBSCs) with pegylated filgrastim (pegfilgrastim), a sustained-duration formulation of filgrastim, has been used as an alternative to filgrastim in several studies involving heterogeneous cohorts of lymphoma and multiple myeloma (MM) patients and shown to be equivalent in PBSC yield and cost-effectiveness. The present study focused on the efficacy of pegfilgrastim in PBSC mobilization compared with filgrastim exclusively after novel agent-based induction in a homogeneous group of MM patients.

The purpose of this study was to compare the efficacy and safety of a single subcutaneous injection of pegylated filgrastim with daily filgrastim as a prophylaxis for neutropenia induced by commonly used chemotherapy regimens. Fifteen centers enrolled 337 chemotherapy-naive cancer patients with normal bone marrow function. All patients randomized into AOB and BOA arms received two cycles of chemotherapy.

Purpose: Treatment of non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) with cyclophosphamide, vincristine, doxorubicin and prednisone (CHOP) is known to be associated with a significant risk of febrile neutropenia (FN) of up to 50% [Osby et al. 2003 Blood 101(10): 3840-3848; Lyman and Delgado 2003 Cancer 98(11): 2402-2409]. This study sought to examine the impact of primary granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (GCSF) prophylaxis on the incidence of FN, quality of life and overall cost.

Purpose: Single-dose pegylated filgrastim (pegfilgrastim) after autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (AHSCT) showed similar efficacy compared to daily lenograstim. To address the question of the optimal application time, we randomly assigned patients (pts) to pegfilgrastim on day + 1 (Peg1) or day + 4 (Peg4) after AHSCT.
Method: Fifty-three pts with different hematological malignancies were included in this prospective randomized multicenter study.
