Treatment With AMD3100 (Plerixafor) in Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma and Multiple Myeloma Patients

Participants with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma and multiple myeloma who have undergone prior cyto-reductive chemotherapy and are to be autologously transplanted will be treated with a combination of plerixafor and granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) mobilization regimen on the day prior to apheresis. The only change to standard of European care is the addition of plerixafor to a G-CSF mobilizing regimen. Participants will undergo mobilization with G-CSF (10 µg/kg each day) and on each day prior to apheresis will receive plerixafor (240 µg/kg). Participants will undergo apheresis for up to 5 consecutive days in order to collect the target number of (≥ 5\*10\^6) CD34+ stem cells/kg. Participants will be transplanted with cells obtained from the G-CSF and plerixafor mobilization regimen. The number of CD34+ cells mobilized in the peripheral blood from the time of the plerixafor dose to just prior to apheresis and those harvested in the apheresis product will be measured. The number of apheresis sessions required to obtain ≥ 5\*10\^6 CD34+ cells/kg will also be measured. Success of the transplantation(s) will be evaluated by the time to engraftment of poly-morphonuclear leukocytes (PMN) and platelets (PLT). Participants will be followed for durability of their transplant for 12 months following transplantation. This study was previously posted by AnorMED, Inc.
