Myeloma
About this trial
This is an interventional treatment trial for Myeloma focused on measuring Mobilization of autologous peripheral blood progenitor cells PBPC, Autologous stem cell mobilization, Multiple Myeloma, Plerixafor
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria: Symptomatic stage I or stage II and III myeloma patients after standard first-line non-melphalan containing induction treatment. Patients must be fit for subsequent consolidation with high-dose chemotherapy with melphalan with autologous stem cell support. Standard induction chemotherapy comprises regimens including thalidomide, bortezomib, or lenalidomide (up to 4 cycles), alone or in combination with dexamethasone. Combinations of novel agents are allowed as well as induction with the VAD regimen. Patients must have achieved at least a partial response according to the Bladé criteria after induction chemotherapy. Patient must be aged 18-70 years, with an ECOG < 2 and has given voluntary written informed consent. Platelets count 50 x 109/l without transfusion support within 7 days before the laboratory test. Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) 1.0 x 109/l without the use of colony stimulating factors. Corrected serum calcium < 3 mmol/L. Aspartate transaminase (AST) <= 1.5 x ULN. Alanine transaminase (ALT) <= 1.5 x ULN. Total bilirubin <= 2 x ULN. Creatinin-clearance >= 50 ml/min. Negative pregnancy test within 14 days prior to registration for all women of childbearing potential. Patients of childbearing potential must implement adequate measures to avoid pregnancy during study treatment and for additional 12 months. No pregnant or lactating patients are allowed. Exclusion Criteria Patients previously treated with melphalan or extensive radiotherapy to the bone marrow. Patients with more than 4 cycles of chemotherapy with Lenalidomide. Patients not fit for autologous stem cell transplantation. Patient receiving colony stimulating factors. Patient underwent plasmaphereses within 4 weeks before enrolment. Patient had major surgery within 4 weeks before enrolment. Patient has other serious medical condition that could potentially interfere with the completion of treatment according to this protocol or that would impair tolerance to therapy or prolong hematological recovery. Sero-positive for HIV antibody. Patient known to be hepatitis B surface antigen positive or who has an active hepatitis C infection. Patient has an active systemic infection requiring treatment. Female patient is pregnant or breast feeding. Compromised renal function as evidenced by measured or calculated creatinine clearance <= 50 ml/min. Subject is currently enrolled in, or has not yet completed at least 30 days since ending another investigational device or drug trial or is receiving other investigational agent.

Plerixafor is a bicyclam with hematopoietic stem cell-mobilizing activity. Plerixafor blocks the binding of stromal cell-derived factor (SDF-1alpha) to the cellular receptor CXCR4, resulting in hematopoietic stem cell release from bone marrow and HSC movement into the peripheral circulation.
