Overweight and obesity are growing epidemiologic problems worldwide. Body mass index (BMI) defined as a person’s weight in kilograms divided by the square of his height in meters (kg/m2) is a simple measure in common use. 1 According to the WHO definition, people with a BMI X25 kg/m2 are overweight and those with a BMI X30 kg/m 2 are obese. A raised BMI is recognized as a major risk factor for cardiovascular diseases, diabetes and musculoskeletal disorders, and also for a number of cancers, including non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma and multiple myeloma. 2 Recently, it has been observed that BMI may correlate with the efficacy of stem-cell mobilization with standard regimens based on administration of granulocytecolony stimulating factor (G-CSF), and it has been suggested that this may be a result of the altered pharmacokinetics of G-CSF in obese individuals. 3–5 Moreover, hypercholesterolemia, which frequently accompanies increased BMI, seems to promote stem-cell mobilization, and this was documented in both an experimental murine model, and a retrospective analysis of clinical data. 6, 7 High cholesterol levels may interfere with the SDF-1/CXCR4 axis by induction of a proinflammatory state, activation of complement the cascade and an increase in serum SDF-1. Plerixafor is a new agent used in combination with G-CSF in myeloma and lymphoma patients, who failed a previous mobilization attempt. 8 The action of plerixafor is based on reversible disruption of the CXCR4/SDF-1 axis by specific inhibition of the CXCR4 receptor. We hypothesized that stem-cell mobilization with plerixafor might be impaired in overweight and obese individuals, who need to mobilize and collect more CD34þ cells in total on the basis of their higher body weight. We investigated this in a group of 606 patients from 13 countries who were enrolled in the European plerixafor compassionate use program. The regimen of plerixafor and G-CSF administration was published elsewhere, 9, 10 and all patients signed the informed consent form for inclusion in the compassionate use program and for collection of their data. This retrospective analysis included a total of 356 patients for whom adequate data regarding BMI were available. Patient characteristics and mobilization features are summarized in Table 1. This group included 168 patients with myeloma, 154 with non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) and 25 with Hodgkin lymphoma (HL). The median body weight was 74 kg (43–132 kg), while their median height was 168cm (146–194cm). The median BMI was25.7 kg/m2 (range, 15.1–47.5). Two patients (0.6%) had a BMI o16. 0 kg/m2(severely underweight), 9 patients (2.5%) had a BMI o18. 5 kg/m2 (underweight), 139 patients (39.0%) a BMI of 18.5–25.0 kg/m2 (normal), 134 patients (37.6%) a BMI of 25–30 kg/m2(over weight), 51 patients (14.3%) a BMI of 30–35kg/m2 (obese class I), 18 patients (5.1%) a BMI of 35–40kg/m2 (obese class II) and 3 patients (0.8%) a BMI X40 kg/m 2 (obese class III). Male gender was not frequently represented among patients with BMI X25 kg/m2,(57%) compared with patients with BMI o25 kg/m2 (45.6%, P¼0. 03). The median body weight and BMI in patients with BMI X25 kg/m2 was 82kg and 28.4, compared with 61kg and 22.6 in patients with BMI o25 kg/m2. There were no significant differences between the groups in regard to median age, disease profile, number of prior chemotherapy regimens, prior treatments, number of prior mobilization regimens, pre-mobilization WBC and platelet counts, and the regimen of mobilization with plerixafor. Statistical analysis revealed that the outcomes of stem-cell mobilization in patients with BMI X25 kg …
