Large‐volume‐apheresis facilitates autologous transplantation of hematopoietic progenitors in poor mobilizer patients

Abstract: Given that pre-apheresis CD34(+) cell count (PA-CD34) predicts the apheresis' yield, a minimum of 5 to 20 PA-CD34/microl is required in many institutions to initiate cell collection. The aim of this study was to clarify whether large-volume-apheresis (LVA) could facilitate progenitor cell transplantation in patients with low PA-CD34. Apheresis was initiated in 226 patients, disregarding PA-CD34, at days: +5 in G-CSF, +10 in cyclophosphamide+G-CSF, and +15 to +20 in other chemotherapy+G-CSF mobilization, when l… Show more

“…It is important to emphasize that in spite of decrease of peripheral blood CD34+ cell count during LVL, the total cumulative CD34+ cell yield increased steadily after each blood volume processed. Kinetics of CD34+ cell collection were similar and stable regardless of diagnosis or level of CD34+ cell mobilization, therefore all patients could have benefit from LVL [32].…”

“…It was already shown that large-volume leukaphereses (LVL) may result in an intra-apheresis recruitment of CD34+ cells in the range of up to 3.5 × 10 6 CD34+ cells/kg bw, therefore representing an additional tool for improving the yield in poor or non-optimally mobilizing patients [19,20,21,22]. …”

“…Although the peripheral blood CD341 cell quantification before collection can be used to predict yield, many transplant centers do no employ this method for a variety of reasons, including increased cost and slow return of results precluding same day apheresis [10][11][12][13]. The purpose of this retrospective analysis was to determine if CD341 cell collection quantity in the first day or first two days of aphereses could reliably predict the likelihood of failure to collect sufficient CD341 cells for ASCT in patients with multiple myeloma.…”
