BET inhibitor trotabresib in heavily pretreated patients with solid tumors and diffuse large B-cell lymphomas. Nat Commun 2023; 14:1359. [PMID: 36914652 PMCID: PMC10011554 DOI: 10.1038/s41467-023-36976-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/14/2022] [Accepted: 02/23/2023] [Indexed: 03/16/2023] Open
Abstract
Bromodomain and extraterminal proteins (BET) play key roles in regulation of gene expression, and may play a role in cancer-cell proliferation, survival, and oncogenic progression. CC-90010-ST-001 (NCT03220347) is an open-label phase I study of trotabresib, an oral BET inhibitor, in heavily pretreated patients with advanced solid tumors and relapsed/refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). Primary endpoints were the safety, tolerability, maximum tolerated dose, and RP2D of trotabresib. Secondary endpoints were clinical benefit rate (complete response [CR] + partial response [PR] + stable disease [SD] of ≥4 months' duration), objective response rate (CR + PR), duration of response or SD, progression-free survival, overall survival, and the pharmacokinetics (PK) of trotabresib. In addition, part C assessed the effects of food on the PK of trotabresib as a secondary endpoint. The dose escalation (part A) showed that trotabresib was well tolerated, had single-agent activity, and determined the recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) and schedule for the expansion study. Here, we report long-term follow-up results from part A (N = 69) and data from patients treated with the RP2D of 45 mg/day 4 days on/24 days off or an alternate RP2D of 30 mg/day 3 days on/11 days off in the dose-expansion cohorts (parts B [N = 25] and C [N = 41]). Treatment-related adverse events (TRAEs) are reported in almost all patients. The most common severe TRAEs are hematological. Toxicities are generally manageable, allowing some patients to remain on treatment for ≥2 years, with two patients receiving ≥3 years of treatment. Trotabresib monotherapy shows antitumor activity, with an ORR of 13.0% (95% CI, 2.8-33.6) in patients with R/R DLBCL (part B) and an ORR of 0.0% (95% CI, 0.0-8.6) and a CBR of 31.7% (95% CI, 18.1-48.1) in patients with advanced solid tumors (part C). These results support further investigation of trotabresib in combination with other anticancer agents.

Abstract
Checkpoint inhibitors (CPIs) are routinely employed in relapsed/refractory classical Hodgkin lymphoma. Nonetheless, persistent long-term responses are uncommon, and one-third of patients are refractory. Several reports have suggested that treatment with CPIs may re-sensitize patients to chemotherapy, however there is no consensus on the optimal chemotherapy regimen and subsequent consolidation strategy. In this retrospective study we analysed the response to rechallenge with chemotherapy after CPI failure. Furthermore, we exploratively characterized the clonal evolution profile of a small sample of patients (n = 5) by employing the CALDER approach. Among the 28 patients included in the study, 17 (71%) were primary refractory and 26 (92%) were refractory to the last chemotherapy prior to CPIs. Following rechallenge with chemotherapy, response was recorded in 23 (82%) patients experiencing complete remission and 3 (11%) patients experiencing partial remission. The tumour evolution of the patients inferred by CALDER seemingly occurred prior to the first cycle of therapy and was characterized either by linear or branching evolution patterns. Twenty-five patients proceeded to allogeneic stem cell transplantation. At a median follow-up of 21 months, median PFS and OS were not reached. In conclusion, patients who fail CPIs can be effectively rescued by salvage chemotherapy and bridged to allo-SCT/auto-SCT.

Abstract
Abstract
Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is characterized by clinical and molecular heterogeneity; however, this heterogeneity is rarely taken into account by standard-of-care treatment approaches. While the disease was traditionally classified based on transcriptome signatures purporting the tumor cell of origin, recent classification systems have further differentiated these subtypes into clusters based on molecular and genetic features. Alongside a better understanding of the biology of the disease and the signaling pathways involved, emerging therapeutic agents may be better aimed at attacking distinct disease subsets. It is hoped that molecular subtyping at diagnosis will allow patients to be allocated to the appropriate treatment that targets their specific disease subtype, thus advancing the promise of precision medicine in lymphoma, an approach that is most needed. For high-risk disease subsets, this is particularly important, and much research is still needed to develop agents effective in this population. Here, we review recent advances in DLBCL biology and how they can be translated into clinical care.

Abstract
Anti-PD-1 monoclonal antibodies yield high response rates in patients with relapsed/refractory classic Hodgkin lymphoma (cHL), but most patients will eventually progress. Allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (alloHCT) after PD-1 blockade may be associated with increased toxicity, raising challenging questions about the role, timing, and optimal method of transplantation in this setting. To address these questions, we assembled a retrospective cohort of 209 cHL patients who underwent alloHCT after PD-1 blockade. With a median follow-up among survivors of 24 months, the 2-year cumulative incidences (CIs) of non-relapse mortality and relapse were 14 and 18%, respectively; the 2-year graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) and relapse-free survival (GRFS), progression-free survival (PFS), and overall survival were 47%, 69%, and 82%, respectively. The 180-day CI of grade 3-4 acute GVHD was 15%, while the 2-year CI of chronic GVHD was 34%. In multivariable analyses, a longer interval from PD-1 to alloHCT was associated with less frequent severe acute GVHD, while additional treatment between PD-1 and alloHCT was associated with a higher risk of relapse. Notably, post-transplant cyclophosphamide (PTCy)-based GVHD prophylaxis was associated with significant improvements in PFS and GRFS. While awaiting prospective clinical trials, PTCy-based GVHD prophylaxis may be considered the optimal transplantation strategy for this patient population.

Abstract
Background BI 836826 is a chimeric mouse–human monoclonal antibody directed against human CD37, a transmembrane protein expressed on mature B lymphocytes. This open-label, phase I dose-escalation trial (NCT02624492) was conducted to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD), safety/tolerability, and preliminary efficacy of BI 836826 in combination with gemcitabine and oxaliplatin in patients with relapsed/refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). Methods Eligible patients received intravenous infusions of BI 836826 on day 8 and gemcitabine 1000 mg/m2 plus oxaliplatin 100 mg/m2 on day 1, for up to six 14-day treatment cycles. Dose escalation followed the standard 3 + 3 design. Results Of 21 treated patients, 17 had relapsed/refractory DLBCL and four had follicular lymphoma transformed to DLBCL. BI 836826 dosing started at 25 mg and proceeded through 50 mg and 100 mg. Two dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs) occurred during cycle 1, both grade 4 thrombocytopenia lasting > 7 days, affecting 1/6 evaluable patients (17%) in both the 50 mg and 100 mg cohorts. Due to early termination of the study, the MTD was not determined. The most common adverse events related to BI 836826 treatment were neutropenia (52%), thrombocytopenia (48%), and anemia (48%). Eight patients (38%) experienced BI 836826-related infusion-related reactions (two grade 3). Overall objective response rate was 38%, including two patients (10%) with complete remission and six patients (29%) with partial remission. Conclusions BI 836826 in combination with GemOx was generally well tolerated but did not exceed the MTD at doses up to 100 mg given every 14 days.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Follicular lymphoma (FL) is the second most common histotype of lymphoma and is considered an incurable disease. The need for new treatment options has led to the development of innovative targeted agents, including inhibitors of the phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase (PI3K) pathway. AREAS COVERED Copanlisib, an intravenous pan-class I PI3K inhibitor, has been approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of relapsed FL in patients who have received at least two prior systemic therapies. In this article, we critically review the mechanism of action, clinical efficacy, safety, dosage, administration, and role of copanlisib in the treatment of relapsed FL. EXPERT OPINION Treatment with copanlisib results in clinically relevant and durable responses in heavily pretreated patients with relapsed or refractory FL. In addition, copanlisib has a manageable safety profile in this population, with low rates of severe hepatic transaminitis, diarrhea, colitis, and noninfectious pneumonitis. Further investigations of copanlisib within combination regimens will potentially allow to move copanlisib to an earlier line of therapy for FL. However, results of the CHRONOS-4 clinical trial evaluating copanlisib with standard chemoimmunotherapy (rituximab with bendamustine or CHOP) are not yet available.

Abstract
Follicular lymphoma (FL) is a heterogeneous disease with varying prognosis owing to differences in clinical, laboratory, and disease parameters. Although generally considered incurable, prognosis for early- and advanced-stage disease has improved because of therapeutic advances, several of which have resulted from elucidation of the biologic and molecular basis of the disease. The choice of treatment for FL is highly dependent on patient and disease characteristics. Several tools are available for risk stratification, although limitations in their routine clinical use exist. For limited disease, treatment options include radiotherapy, rituximab monotherapy or combination regimens, and surveillance. Treatment of advanced disease is often determined by tumor burden, with surveillance or rituximab considered for low tumor burden and chemoimmunotherapy for high tumor burden disease. Treatment for relapsed or refractory disease is influenced by initial first-line therapy and the duration and quality of the response. Presently, there is no consensus for treatment of patients with early or multiply relapsed disease; however, numerous agents, combination regimens, and transplant options have demonstrated efficacy. Although the number of therapies available to treat FL has increased together with an improved understanding of the underlying biologic basis of disease, the best approach to select the most appropriate treatment strategy for an individual patient at a particular time continues to be elucidated. This review considers prognostication and the evolving treatment landscape of FL, including recent and emergent therapies as well as remaining unmet needs. IMPLICATIONS FOR PRACTICE: In follicular lymphoma, a personalized approach to management based on disease biology, patient characteristics, and other factors continues to emerge. However, application of current management requires an understanding of the available therapeutic options for first-line treatment and knowledge of current development in therapies for previously untreated and for relapsed or refractory disease. Thus, this work reviews for clinicians the contemporary data in follicular lymphoma, from advances in characterizing disease biology to current treatments and emerging novel therapies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Tenalisib (RP6530) is a novel, highly specific, dual phosphoinositide-3 kinases (PI3K) δ/γ inhibitor with nano-molar potency. MATERIAL AND METHODS This was a phase I, open-label, 3 + 3 dose escalation, maximum tolerated dose determination study to evaluate the safety, pharmacokinetics, and efficacy of tenalisib in patients with relapsed/refractory hematologic malignancies. Tenalisib was administered orally twice/thrice daily in 28-day cycles with starting dose of 25 mg twice daily. RESULTS Thirty-five patients were enrolled across 11 dose levels. No dose limiting toxicity was reported at any of the dose levels. The most common treatment-emergent adverse events irrespective of causality were asthenia and cough in 15 (43%) patients and pyrexia in 13 (37%) patients. The most frequently reported related treatment-emergent adverse events were diarrhea, nausea, and vomiting. Related grade 3/4 adverse events were limited to events of hypertriglyceridemia, neutropenia, and diarrhea. Pharmacokinetics showed rapid absorption. Based on maximum plasma concentration and area under the plasma-concentration time curve, dose proportionality was observed up to 400 mg dose. Of 31 patients included in the efficacy analysis, complete response was seen in 2 (7%) patients and partial response in 4 (13%) patients, with an overall response rate of 19% and a disease-control rate of 61%. The median duration of response was 5.7 months. Responders demonstrated a marked downregulation of phospho-AKT on C1D8. CONCLUSION Tenalisib demonstrated acceptable safety up to 1200 mg twice a day with no dose-limiting toxicities. Consistent clinical response was seen at doses 200 mg BID and above. Pharmacodynamics correlated well with clinical outcome. Further phase I/II studies are being undertaken to evaluate efficacy across different histologies.

Abstract
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) with extension or metastasis to the right atrium is an uncommon form of cardiac malignancy. This report describes a rare case of right intraventricular metastasis from HCC in a patient who had undergone a partial hepatectomy for HCC more than two years earlier. Open heart surgery was performed and the mass was partially excised. Symptoms (dyspnea, edema of the lower extremities, palpitations) improved after surgery. Two months later a recurrence of the ventricular mass was observed. Systemic chemotherapy with cisplatin and doxorubicin resulted in significant tumor reduction. The patient died of progressive hepatic failure six months later. In addition to this case report, a review of the literature on heart involvement from HCC is presented.

Abstract
7535 Background: Follicular lymphoma (FL) is the most common indolent non-Hodgkin lymphoma (iNHL) subtype, yet treatment options in the relapsed/refractory (r/r) setting are limited. Copanlisib is a pan-Class I phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) inhibitor with predominant PI3K-α and PI3K-δ activity. We report results from the FL subset of a large phase II study (n=141) in iNHL patients (pts) (NCT01660451, part B). Methods: A total of 104 pts with indolent FL (grade 1-3a) relapsed/refractory to ≥2 prior lines of treatment were treated with copanlisib (60 mg IV infusion) administered on days 1, 8 and 15 of a 28-day cycle. The primary endpoint was objective tumor response rate (ORR) per independent radiologic review (Cheson et al., JCO 20:579, 2007). Results: Of the 104 pts treated, 62% were refractory; median prior lines 3 (range 2-8), median time from progression 8 wks (range 1-73 wks). 52% were male, 83% white, median age 62 yrs, and 62% ECOG 0. At the time of primary analysis the ORR was 58.7%, comprising 15 pts (14.4%) with complete response (CR) and 46 (44.2%) with partial response. Stable disease was observed in 35 (33.7%) pts and progression of disease as best response in 2 pts. The median duration of response was 370 days (range 0-687), with 43 responders censored at data cut-off. Median duration of treatment was 22 wks (range 1-105); 33 (32%) pts remained on treatment. For all pts, the most common treatment-emergent AEs occurring in >25% of pts included (all grade/grade 3+): diarrhea (34%/5%), reduced neutrophil count (30%/24%), fatigue (30%/2%), and fever (25%/4%). Hyperglycemia (50%/41%) and hypertension (30%/24%) were transient. The incidence of pneumonitis (8%/1.4%), hepatic enzymopathy (AST 28%/1.4%; ALT 23%/1.4%), opportunistic infection (1.4%) and colitis (0.7%) were low. Six deaths were observed, 3 of which were attributed to copanlisib: one lung infection, one respiratory failure, and one thromboembolic event. Conclusions: Copanlisib was highly active as a single agent in heavily pretreated r/r FL pts and resulted in durable responses in the majority of pts. Toxicities were manageable, with a low incidence of severe AEs associated with other PI3K inhibitors, especially hepatic enzymopathy, opportunistic infections, and colitis. Clinical trial information: NCT01660451.

Abstract
This randomized, multicenter study evaluates the addition of bortezomib (13 mg/m(2)) to IGEV (B-IGEV) in patients with relapsed/refractory Hodgkin Lymphoma (HL). Patients received either four courses of IGEV alone (n = 40) or B-IGEV (n = 40). The primary endpoint was the complete response (CR) proportion, evaluated by FDG-PET, after induction chemotherapy. CR proportion was 39% with B-IGEV and 53% with IGEV. PFS and OS were similar between the two groups (two-year PFS: 58% vs 56%; two-year OS: 93% vs 81%). The PET-negative status after treatment was the only variable favorably influencing both PFS (two-year PFS: 77% vs 40%; p = 0.002) and OS (two-year OS: 100% vs 76%; p < 0.001). Toxicity was overall similar with the two regimens. The addition of bortezomib to IGEV does not improve response in relapsed/refractory HL patients. However, its favorable therapeutic and safety profile, and the prognostic role of pre-transplant PET negativity in patients receiving IGEV-based regimens are confirmed.

Abstract
Persistence of disease after salvage therapy among relapsed or refractory Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) patients predicts poor outcome. Here, we report on 41 HL patients with active disease after salvage therapy and who received high-dose melphalan (HD-PAM) and auto-SCT as a bridge to a second autologous or an allogeneic transplantation between 2002 and 2013 at our center. Disease response was based on 18-fluoro-deoxyglucose-positron emission tomography results in all patients. Overall response rate after HD-PAM was 78% and it did not differ among PR or stable/progressive disease patients (P=1.00). Response was associated with better OS: hazard ratio=0.32 (95% confidence interval: 0.13-0.77, P=0.01) irrespective of disease status before HD-PAM. Thirty-three patients (80%) were able to complete the planned treatment, intended as tandem autologous or auto-allo transplant. Hematological and extrahematological toxicity of HD-PAM was manageable, without any treatment-related death. In conclusion, HD-PAM is a valuable therapeutic option in relapsed/refractory HL patients with active disease after salvage therapy, with an impressive 78% overall response rate and 80% rate of proceeding to further transplantation. The present data may be integrated with the growing literature on new drugs in the field of relapsed/refractory HL.

Abstract
Chemotherapy is associated with toxicity in elderly patients with potentially curable malignancies, posing the dilemma of whether to intensify therapy, thereby improving the cure rate, or de-escalate therapy, thereby reducing toxicity, with consequent risks for under- or overtreatment. Adequate tools to define doses and combinations have not been identified for lymphoma patients. We conducted a prospective trial aimed to evaluate the feasibility and efficacy of chemotherapy modulated according to a modified comprehensive geriatric assessment (CGA) in elderly (aged ≥70 years) patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). In June 2000 to March 2006, 100 patients were stratified using a CGA into three groups (fit, unfit, and frail), and they received a rituximab plus cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisone modulated in dose and drugs according to comorbidities and activities of daily living (ADL) and instrumental ADL scores. Treatment was associated with a complete response rate of 81% and mild toxicity: grade 4 neutropenia in 14%, anemia in 1%, and neurological and cardiac toxicity in 2% of patients. At a median follow-up of 64 months, 51 patients were alive, with 5-year disease-free, overall, and cause-specific survival rates of 80%, 60%, and 74%, respectively. Chemoimmunotherapy adjustments based on a CGA are associated with manageable toxicity and excellent outcomes in elderly patients with DLBCL. Wide use of this CGA-driven treatment may result in better cure rates, especially in fit and unfit patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Knowledge of independent, baseline risk factors for catheter-related thrombosis (CRT) may help select adult cancer patients who are at high risk to receive thromboprophylaxis. OBJECTIVES We conducted a meta-analysis of individual patient-level data to identify these baseline risk factors. PATIENTS/METHODS MEDLINE, EMBASE, CINAHL, CENTRAL, DARE and the Grey literature databases were searched in all languages from 1995 to 2008. Prospective studies and randomized controlled trials (RCTs) were eligible. Studies were included if original patient-level data were provided by the investigators and if CRT was objectively confirmed with valid imaging. Multivariate logistic regression analysis of 17 prespecified baseline characteristics was conducted. Adjusted odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were estimated. RESULTS A total sample of 5636 subjects from five RCTs and seven prospective studies was included in the analysis. Among these subjects, 425 CRT events were observed. In multivariate logistic regression, the use of implanted ports as compared with peripherally implanted central venous catheters (PICCs), decreased CRT risk (OR, 0.43; 95% CI, 0.23-0.80), whereas past history of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) (OR, 2.03; 95% CI, 1.05-3.92), subclavian venipuncture insertion technique (OR, 2.16; 95% CI, 1.07-4.34) and improper catheter tip location (OR, 1.92; 95% CI, 1.22-3.02), increased CRT risk. CONCLUSIONS CRT risk is increased with use of PICCs, previous history of DVT, subclavian venipuncture insertion technique and improper positioning of the catheter tip. These factors may be useful for risk stratifying patients to select those for thromboprophylaxis. Prospective studies are needed to validate these findings.

Abstract
8568 Background: High dose chemotherapy with autologous stem cells transplant (ASCT) is the gold standard in patients with relapsed/refractory HL. Response to induction chemotherapy (chemosensitive patients) plays a major role in prognosis, however the role of CR status after induction therapy has not been established. Methods: One hundred twenty one patients with relapsed/refractory HL received 4 courses of IGEV followed by single (N=59) or tandem (N=19) ASCT (Santoro et al., Haematologica 92, 2007). Response to IGEV was evaluated by Cheson criteria (1999).The aim of this study was to evaluate the role of CR versus no-CR to IGEV induction therapy on the outcome in terms of progression free survival (PSF) and overall survival (OS). Statistical analysis was performed by using the Kaplan-Meier method and Cox proportional hazard model. Results: IGEV induced an overall response rate of 75% with 46% of CR. In the univariate analysis favourable factors for outcome were CR vs no-CR to IGEV (PFS: p <0.001, OS: p 0.002), A vs B symptoms (PFS: p 0.003; OS: p 0.05), limited vs advanced stage (PFS: p 0.03; OS: p 0.03), and 1 vs≥2 previous chemotherapy lines (PFS: p 0.03, OS: p 0.02); response to last therapy (relapsed vs refractory) influenced PFS (p 0.03) but not OS (p 0.70). The multivariate analysis confirmed the favourable prognostic role of CR to IGEV (PFS HR: 2.5, CI 95%:1.3; 4.6 - OS HR 2.3, CI 95%:1.1;4.8) and of the number of previous chemotherapy lines (PFS HR:1.8, CI 95%:1.0;3.2 - OS HR 2.1, CI 95%:1.1;3.9). Conclusions: According to our data, we conclude that: 1. CR to IGEV is the strongest indicator of outcome in relapsed/refractory HL. 2. Achievement of CR to IGEV overcomes the role of initial disease status. 3. Efforts are warranted to increase the CR rate by induction therapy. No significant financial relationships to disclose.

Abstract
This retrospective study evaluated whether early 2-[fluorine-18]fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose positron emission tomography (FDG-PET) after two cycles of salvage chemotherapy (PET2) could predict survival after high-dose chemotherapy (HDC). Twenty-four Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) patients were included. PET2 was negative in 58% and positive in 42% of patients. Ninety per cent of patients (9/10) with positive PET2 relapsed after HDC while all but one patient with negative PET2 maintained a complete remission. The 2-year progression-free survival was 93% vs. 10% for patients with negative and positive PET2, respectively (P < 0.001). This study shows that interim PET can predict the outcome after high-dose chemotherapy in HL patients.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to assess the role of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) in patients with poor-risk Hodgkin's disease (HD) compared to chemotherapy. A donor was identified in 26 patients (14 HLA identical siblings and 10 alternative donors), and 24 received a transplant (Allo group). Twenty patients without a donor received different chemotherapy regimens and radiotherapy (CHEMO group). After a median follow-up of 28 months (range: 1-110), the 2-year overall survival (OS) was 71% in the ALLO group compared to 50% in the CHEMO group (P = .031). In the Allo group, the 2-year progression-free survival (PFS) was 47%. The 1-year nonrelapse mortality (NRM) in the ALLO group was 8% versus 0% in the CHEMO group. This study, suggests that allogeneic transplantation may prolong the survival in patients with a poor-risk HD.

Abstract
Nearly 80% of patients with Hodgkin's disease (HD) are cured with chemotherapy with or without radiotherapy. However, in patients with primary refractory or relapsed disease, high-dose therapy (HDT) and autologous or peripheral-blood stem-cell transplantation (ASCT or PBSCT) represents the best curative option. Several prognostic factors to identify patients at high risk for relapse or progression have been analyzed. However, in almost all analyzed series, disease status before high-dose chemotherapy with PBSC support remains the most important factor predicting the outcome of these patients. Nonetheless, the benefit of cytoreduction before HDT has yet to be fully determined and efforts to identify the best active regimen, combining therapeutic activity and CD34+ stem-cell mobilizing potential, represent a challenging issue for these patients. Furthermore new approaches like myeloablative and non-myeloablative allogeneic transplants have been assessed to improve long-term in such patients. In this review we analyzed the results of the most important salvage chemotherapy combinations as well as allogeneic transplantations to clarify the optimal treatment options for patients with resistant/relapsing HD.

Abstract
We explored the efficacy of the IGEV regimen (ifosfamide, gemcitabine, vinorelbine and prednisone) combined with a fixed dose of lenograstim (263 mug/day) to mobilize peripheral blood stem cells (PBSCs) in 90 Hodgkin's lymphoma patients. The median total CD34+ cells/mul peak, colony-forming units granulocyte-macrophage and white blood cells for all individual collection sets were 85/mul, 12 x 10(4)/kg and 20 700/mul, respectively. An adequate number of CD34+ cells (more than 3 x 10(6) or 6 x 10(6) CD34+ cells/kg depending on whether single or tandem high-dose chemotherapy was used) were collected in 89 out of 90 (98.7%) mobilized patients, whereas the only failure reached 2.3 x 10(6) CD34+ cells/kg. The median CD34+ cell collections were 11 x 10(6)/kg (range 2.3-39 x 10(6)/kg) and 10 x 10(6)/kg (range 6-22.0 x 10(6)/kg) with a median of 1 and 2 leukaphereses for patients eligible for single high-dose treatment and for candidates for tandem transplant, respectively. Target yields were reached in 71.43 and 49.09% and additionally in 17.14 and 43.64% of cases after the first and second apheresis procedures, respectively. Hematological and non-hematological side effects were acceptable, and no toxic deaths occurred. Thirty-four patients received a single and 47 received tandem transplantation with rapid engraftment. These results confirm that the IGEV regimen with lenograstim support can be used successfully and safely to mobilize PBSCs.
