The effectiveness of stem cell mobilization with granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) in lymphoma patients is suboptimal. We reviewed our institutional experience using chemomobilization with etoposide (VP-16; 375mg/m2 on days +1 and +2) and G-CSF (5ug/kg twice daily from day +3 through the final day of collection) in 159 patients with lymphoma. This approach resulted in successful mobilization (> 2 × 106 CD34 cells collected) in 94% of patients (83% within 4 apheresis sessions). 57% of patients collected at least 5 × 106 cells in ≤ 2 days and were defined as good mobilizers. The regimen was safe with a low rate of rehospitalization. Average costs were $14,923 for good mobilizers and $27,044 for poor mobilizers (p<0.05). Using our data, we performed a ‘break-even’ analysis that demonstrated that adding two doses of Plerixafor to predicted poor mobilizers at the time of first CD34 count would achieve cost neutrality if the frequency of good mobilizers were to increase by 21%, while the frequency of good mobilizers would need to increase by 25% if three doses of Plerixafor were used. We conclude that chemomobilization with etoposide and G-CSF in patients with lymphoma is effective, with future opportunities for cost-neutral improvement using novel agents.
