Single-center results reporting improved hematopoietic stem cell mobilization success in pediatric and young adult patients with solid tumors and lymphoma. Pediatr Blood Cancer 2021; 68:e29319. [PMID: 34490994 DOI: 10.1002/pbc.29319] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/22/2021] [Revised: 08/13/2021] [Accepted: 08/16/2021] [Indexed: 01/18/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND High-dose chemotherapy with autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (auto-HSCT) is an established treatment for pediatric and young adult patients with solid tumors and lymphomas. Plerixafor is a CXC chemokine receptor type 4 (CXCR4) antagonist that can be used with granulocyte colony stimulating factor (G-CSF) to amplify the mobilization of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs). METHODS We performed a retrospective analysis of 167 pediatric solid tumor and lymphoma patients from January 2010 to July 2020 in whom HSCs were mobilized using G-CSF alone or with plerixafor. RESULTS Thirteen heavily pretreated patients (33.3%) required twice-daily dosing of G-CSF compared to five patients (3.9%) in the not heavily pretreated group (p = .0005). Fourteen heavily pretreated patients (35.9%) required plerixafor compared to four patients (3.1%) in the comparison cohort (p = .0002). The number of mobilization days was similar between both cohorts, with 5 days (range 3-11 days) in the heavily pretreated group and 5 days (range 3-13 days) in the not heavily pretreated group (p = .55). The number of harvest days was 2 days (range 1-5 days) in the heavily pretreated group and 1 day (range 1-4 days) in the not heavily pretreated group (p = .0025). The final cluster of differentiation (CD)34+ /kilogram (kg) count was 9.52 × 106 /kg among heavily pretreated patients compared to 34.99 × 106 /kg CD34+ cells in the comparison group (p < .0001). Three heavily pretreated patients (7.7%) failed HSC mobilization. CONCLUSIONS Patients at the highest risk for poor HSC mobilization can be successfully treated with more frequent G-CSF dosing or G-CSF with plerixafor in a large majority of cases.

Abstract
Hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) transplantation can be a potential cure for
hematological malignancies and some nonhematologic diseases. Hematopoietic stem
and progenitor cells (HSPCs) collected from peripheral blood after mobilization
are the primary source to provide HSC transplantation. In most of the cases,
mobilization by the cytokine granulocyte colony-stimulating factor with
chemotherapy, and in some settings, with the CXC chemokine receptor type 4
antagonist plerixafor, can achieve high yield of hematopoietic progenitor cells
(HPCs). However, adequate mobilization is not always successful in a significant
portion of donors. Research is going on to find new agents or strategies to
increase HSC mobilization. Here, we briefly review the history of HSC
transplantation, current mobilization regimens, some of the novel agents that
are under investigation for clinical practice, and our recent findings from
animal studies regarding Notch and ligand interaction as potential targets for
HSPC mobilization.

Abstract
Mobilization failure is an important issue in stem cell transplantations. Stem cells are yielded from the peripheral blood via apheresis. Granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) is the most commonly used mobilization agent among patients and donors. G-CSF is administered subcutaneously for multiple days. However, patients with mobilization failure cannot receive autologous stem cell transplantation and, therefore, cannot be treated adequately. The incidence rate of mobilization failure among patients is about 6–23%. Plerixafor is a molecule that inhibits the binding of chemokine receptor-4 with stromal-cell-derived factor-1, thereby resulting in the release of CD34+ cells in the peripheral blood. Currently, plerixafor is used in patients with mobilization failure with G-CSF and is administered subcutaneously. Several studies conducted on different clinical settings have shown that plerixafor is effective and well tolerated by patients. However, more studies should be conducted to explore the optimal approach for plerixafor in patients with mobilization failure. The incidence of mobilization failure among donors is lower. However, plerixafor is not approved among donors with mobilization failure. Moreover, several clinical studies in donors have shown a beneficial effect of plerixafor. In addition, the adverse events of plerixafor are mild and transient, which can overcome the adverse events due to G-CSF. This review assessed the current role and effects of plerixafor in stem cell mobilization for autologous and allogeneic stem cell transplantations.

Abstract
AMD3100 (plerixafor), a CXCR4 antagonist, has opened a variety of avenues for potential therapeutic approaches in different refractory diseases. The CXCL12/CXCR4 axis and its signaling pathways are involved in diverse disorders including HIV-1 infection, tumor development, non-Hodgkin lymphoma, multiple myeloma, WHIM Syndrome, and so on. The mechanisms of action of AMD3100 may relate to mobilizing hematopoietic stem cells, blocking infection of X4 HIV-1, increasing circulating neutrophils, lymphocytes and monocytes, reducing myeloid-derived suppressor cells, and enhancing cytotoxic T-cell infiltration in tumors. Here, we first revisit the pharmacological discovery of AMD3100. We then review monotherapy of AMD3100 and combination use of AMD3100 with other agents in various diseases. Among those, we highlight the perspective of AMD3100 as an immunomodulator to regulate immune responses particularly in the tumor microenvironment and synergize with other therapeutics. All the pre-clinical studies support the clinical testing of the monotherapy and combination therapies with AMD3100 and further development for use in humans.

Abstract
Plerixafor is a CXC chemokine receptor (CXCR4) antagonist that mobilizes stem cells in the peripheral blood. It is indicated (in combination with granulocyte-colony stimulating factor [G-CSF]) to enhance the harvest of adequate quantities of cluster differentiation (CD) 34+ cells for autologous transplantation in patients with lymphoma or multiple myeloma whose cells mobilize poorly. Strategies for use include delayed re-mobilization after a failed mobilization attempt with G-CSF, and rescue or pre-emptive mobilization in patients in whom mobilization with G-CSF is likely to fail. Pre-emptive use has the advantage that it avoids the need to re-schedule the transplant procedure, with its attendant inconvenience, quality-of-life issues for the patient and cost of additional admissions to the transplant unit. UK experience from 2 major centers suggests that pre-emptive plerixafor is associated with an incremental drug cost of less than £2000 when averaged over all patients undergoing peripheral blood stem cell (PBSC) transplant. A CD34+ cell count of <15 µl-1 at the time of recovery after chemomobilization or after four days of G-CSF treatment, or an apheresis yield of <1 × 106 CD34+ cells/kg on the first day of apheresis, could be used to predict the need for pre-emptive plerixafor.

Abstract
Today, peripheral blood stem cells are the preferred source of stem cells over bone marrow. Therefore, mobilization plays a crutial role in successful autologous stem cell transplantation. Poor mobilization is generally defined as failure to achieve the target level of at least 2×106 CD34+ cells/kg body weight. There are several strategies to overcome poor mobilization: 1) Larger volume Leukapheresis (LVL) 2) Re-mobilization 3) Plerixafor 4) CM+Plerixafor (P)+G-CSF and 5) Bone Marrow Harvest. In this review, the definitions of successful and poor mobilization are discussed. Management strategies for poor mobilization are defined. The recent research on new agents are included.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Enumerating hematopoietic progenitor cells (HPCs) by using an automated hematology analyzer is a rapid, inexpensive, and simple method for predicting a successful harvest compared with enumerating circulating CD34+ cells. However, the optimal HPC cutoff count and the indicating factors to be considered for improved predicting have not yet been determined. STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS Between 2007 and 2012, a total of 189 consecutive patients who proceeded to peripheral blood stem cell (PBSC) harvesting were retrospectively recruited. Baseline characteristics were analyzed to identify the risk factors for a failed harvest, which were defined as less than 2 × 10(6) CD34+ cells/kg. Variables identified by multivariate logistic regression and correlation analysis for predicting a successful harvest were subjected to classification and regression tree (CART) analysis. RESULTS PBSCs were successfully harvested in 154 (81.5%) patients. An age of at least 60 years, a diagnosis of a solid tumor, at least five prior chemotherapy cycles, prior radiotherapy, and mobilization with granulocyte-colony-stimulating factor alone or high-dose cyclophosphamide were independent baseline predictors of poor mobilization. In CART analysis, patients with zero to two host risk factors and either higher HPC (≥28 × 10(6) /L) or mononuclear cell (MNC; ≥3.5 × 10(9) /L) counts were categorized as good mobilizers and their harvest success rate was 92.3%. By contrast, 30.3% of harvests were adequate in the patients with three to five host risk factors and lower HPC and MNC counts. CONCLUSION A CART algorithm incorporating host predictors and HPC and MNC counts improves predictions in a successful harvest and might reduce the necessity of monitoring peripheral CD34+ cells.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The collection of autologous peripheral blood (PB) stem cells can be challenging in the subgroup of patients deemed "poor mobilizers" with granulocyte-colony-stimulating factor. Plerixafor, a CXCR-4 antagonist, is an alternative mobilizing agent, but is costly, and the optimal mobilization algorithm has yet to be determined. STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS To address the question we developed a protocol measuring PB CD34 on Day 4 of mobilization. We examined 26 patients before initiating the protocol versus 24 patients after initiation. RESULTS Significant differences (p ≤ 0.05) included fewer days of collection (1.25 days vs. 2.42 days), lower total blood volume processed (25.9 L vs. 57.2 L), lower total product volume (324 mL vs. 691 mL), lower RBC content (9 mL vs. 18 mL), and lower granulocyte percentage per collection (35% vs. 11%). There were no significant differences between the two groups in demographics, baseline platelet count, total CD34, or CD34/kg harvested. CONCLUSION Use of a protocol to assess PB CD34 1 day before collection allows for preemptive administration of plerixafor to augment mobilization. Subsequently, days of collection and processed blood volume are reduced while there is less RBC and granulocyte contamination in the collected stem cell product.

BACKGROUND Plerixafor in combination with granulocyte-colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) is approved for the use of stem cell collection in patients who fail to mobilize on G-CSF. In 2009 the Stem Cell Working Party of the Dutch-Belgian Cooperative Trial group for Hematology Oncology (HOVON) composed a guideline for the use of plerixafor. According to this guideline it is recommended to add plerixafor to G-CSF in patients with circulating CD34+ cell counts of fewer than 20 × 10(6) /L on 2 consecutive days accompanied by increasing white blood cells. STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS In this analysis we evaluated retrospectively the outcome of the use of this guideline in the Netherlands. In total 111 patients received plerixafor with a median one administration (range, one to four administrations). Of these patients 55.8% had non-Hodgkin lymphoma, 31.5% multiple myeloma, 8.1% Hodgkin lymphoma, and 4.5% nonhematologic malignancies. RESULTS In 63.9% patients sufficient numbers of CD34+ cells were collected. In patients with multiple myeloma more successful mobilizations with plerixafor were observed compared to patients with non-Hodgkin lymphoma (71.4% vs. 61.3%). In patients with circulating CD34+ cell counts of at least 2.0 × 10(6) /L before administration of plerixafor a successful mobilization was achieved in 76.5%, and in the patients with very low (0-1 × 10(6) /L) circulating CD34+ cell counts the success rate was 44.2%. CONCLUSION Application of the HOVON guideline on the just-in-time administration of plerixafor is effective for mobilization of hematopoietic stem cells in the majority of patients. Stem cell yield in patients with non-Hodgkin lymphoma was lower compared to patients with multiple myeloma. Also patients with very low circulating CD34+ cells before addition of plerixafor might benefit from this approach.

Abstract
High-dose chemotherapy (HDT) followed by autologous peripheral blood progenitor cell transplant (PBPCT) has become a standard intervention in certain clinical settings of hematologic malignancies, particularly multiple myeloma and relapsed/refractory lymphoma. While the minimal required PBPCs infused, as defined by number of CD34 + cells, has been relatively well delineated for adequate hematopoietic recovery post-HDT, optimal PBPC dose has not been clearly defined. This is particularly relevant in the context of retrospective data suggesting improved survival outcomes with increased PBPC doses. The potential confounding of these data as they relate to disease risk is discussed within this review. Additionally, other retrospective data have suggested that enhanced quantitative lymphocyte subset reconstitution post-HDT-PBPCT may confer progression-free and overall survival advantage. These reported series herein reviewed may inform discussion of future, prospective clinical trials with the intent of defining optimal autologous PBPC dose following HDT, especially as it may relate to metrics beyond hematopoietic recovery.

Abstract
Autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) is a potentially curative treatment of lymphoma, but peripheral blood stem cell (PBSC) mobilization fails in some patients. PBSC mobilizing agents have recently been proved to improve the PBSC yield after a prior mobilization failure. Predictive parameters of mobilization failure allowing for a preemptive, more cost-effective use of such agents during the first mobilization attempt are still poorly defined, particularly during mobilization with chemotherapy + granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF). We performed a retrospective analysis of a series of lymphoma patients who were candidates for ASCT, to identify factors influencing PBSC mobilization outcome. Premobilization parameters-age, histology, disease status, mobilizing protocol, and previous treatments-as well as white blood cell (WBC) and PBSC kinetics, markers potentially able to predict failure during the ongoing mobilization attempt, were analyzed in 415 consecutive mobilization procedures in 388 patients. We used chemotherapy + G-CSF in 411 (99%) of mobilization attempts and PBSC collection failed (<2 × 10(6) CD34+ PBSC/kg) in 13%. Multivariable analysis showed that only a low CD34+ PBSC count and CD34+ PBSC/WBC ratio, together with the use of nonplatinum-containing chemotherapy, independently predicted mobilization failure. Using these three parameters, we established a scoring system to predict risk of failure during mobilization ranging from 2 to 90%, thus allowing a selective use of a preemptive mobilization policy.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION About 99% of all autologous transplants are now performed with blood stem cells. G-CSF alone or combined with chemotherapy have been used to mobilize CD34(+) cells. Plerixafor is a novel drug used for mobilization purposes. AREAS COVERED We have evaluated recent data in regard to plerixafor use in predicted or proven poor mobilizers. In addition, we have looked for preemptive strategies to optimize the use of this expensive drug. Also cost-efficacy issues and effects of plerixafor on graft composition and post-transplant outcomes will be discussed. EXPERT OPINION Plerixafor added to G-CSF is superior than G-CSF alone for mobilization of CD34(+) cells. This combination is also efficient in patients who have failed a previous mobilization attempt with other methods or in patients with risk factors for poor mobilization. Addition of plerixafor to G-CSF or chemotherapy plus G-CSF mobilization in patients who appear to mobilize poorly is under active investigation and algorithms for a preemptive use of this expensive agent have been proposed. Grafts collected after plerixafor appear to contain more lymphoid cells than the grafts collected without it. Whether this affects post-transplant outcomes such as immune reconstitution and risk of relapse needs to be evaluated.

Abstract
Use of granulocyte colony stimulating factor (G-CSF)-mobilized peripheral blood hematopoietic progenitor cells (HPCs) has largely replaced bone marrow (BM) as a source of stem cells for both autologous and allogeneic cell transplantation. With G-CSF alone, up to 35% of patients are unable to mobilize sufficient numbers of CD34 cells/kg to ensure successful and consistent multi-lineage engraftment and sustained hematopoietic recovery. To this end, research is ongoing to identify new agents or combinations which will lead to the most effective and efficient stem cell mobilization strategies, especially in those patients who are at risk for mobilization failure. We describe both established agents and novel strategies at various stages of development. The latter include but are not limited to drugs that target the SDF-1/CXCR4 axis, S1P agonists, VCAM/VLA-4 inhibitors, parathyroid hormone, proteosome inhibitors, Groβ, and agents that stabilize HIF. While none of the novel agents have yet gained an established role in HPC mobilization in clinical practice, many early studies exploring these new pathways show promising results and warrant further investigation.

Abstract
To date, no prospective study on Plerixafor 'on-demand' in combination with chemotherapy and granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) has been reported. We present an interim analysis of the first prospective study in which Plerixafor was administered on-demand in patients affected by multiple myeloma and lymphoma who received high dose cyclophosphamide or DHAP (dexamethasone, cytarabine, cisplatin) plus G-CSF to mobilize peripheral blood stem cells (PBSC). One hundred and two patients were evaluable for response. A cohort of 240 patients receiving the same mobilizing chemotherapy was retrospectively studied. Failure to mobilize CD34(+) cells in peripheral blood was reduced by 'on-demand' strategy compared to conventional mobilization; from 13·0 to 3·0% (P = 0·004). Failure to harvest CD34(+) cells 2 × 10(6) /kg decreased from 20·9 to 4·0% (P = 0·0001). The on-demand Plerixafor strategy also resulted in a lower rate of mobilization failure (P = 0·03) and harvest failure (P = 0·0008) when compared to a 'bias-adjusted set of controls'. Evaluation of economic costs of the two strategies showed that the overall cost of the two treatments were comparable when salvage mobilizations were taken into account. When in combination with cyclophosphamide or DHAP plus G-CSF, the 'on-demand' use of Plerixafor showed, in comparison to conventionally treated patients, a significant improvement in mobilization of PBSC with no increase in overall cost.

Abstract
Autologous and allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) transplantation are considered the standard of care for many malignancies including lymphoma, multiple myeloma, and some leukemias. In many cases, mobilized peripheral blood has become the preferred source for HSCs. Plerixafor, an inhibitor of the interaction between CX chemokine receptor 4 (CXCR4) and stromal derived factor-1 alpha (SDF-1), has been evaluated in clinical trials and approved by the FDA and EMA. This agent has very modest toxicity and appears to be quite potent at HSC mobilization. Current clinical indications for the use of plerixafor are the subject of this review.
