Circulating progenitors following high-dose sequential (HDS) chemotherapy with G-CSF: short intervals between drug courses severely impair progenitor mobilization.

Abstract：

:Sequential administration of high-dose chemotherapy courses possibly allows extensive in vivo purging before circulating progenitor collection for autograft. To evaluate whether progenitor cell mobilization was negatively affected by repeated high-dose chemotherapy courses, we studied 23 lymphoma patients undergoing the HDS regimen. The scheme includes the sequential administration of cyclophosphamide (CY) given at 7 g/m2 and etoposide (VP16) given at 2 g/m2, each followed by G-CSF (filgrastim) at 5 micrograms/kg/day. Eleven patients received the standard HDS sequence, with a short interval between first and second myelotoxic courses of less than 45 days (median: 30 days); the remaining 12 patients received a modified HDS where the interval between first and second high-dose course was protracted over 2 months (median: 70 days); in this latter group, 2 to 4 conventional debulking courses were delivered prior to HDS. In patients receiving the standard HDS, progenitor mobilization following the first course was consistently high (median circulating CFU-GM/ml peak value: 29,022); however, significantly lower values were observed at the second course (median CFU-GM/ml peak value 3757, P = 0.002). Circulating BFU-E and CD34+ cell values paralleled those of CFU-GM. No significant difference was observed in progenitor mobilization following either course in patients receiving HDS with extended interval (median circulating CFU-GM/ml peak value: 14,363 vs 9208, at first and second course respectively, P = 0.27). Eleven patients had their progenitor cells harvested following the second delayed course and 2-4 leucaphereses allowed very satisfactory harvests in all of them (CFU-GM/kg ranging from 39-340 x 10(4)).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
