Brief Summary

We conducted a prospective trial comparing single-dose etoposide (375 mg/m2 for one day) plus G-CSF versus G-CSF alone, followed by risk-adapted plerixafor in myeloma patients. Despite significantly less frequent (p = 0.045) use of plerixafor in the etoposide group, the optimal collection rates (CD34+ cells = 6 × 106/kg) were not significantly different between the two groups (p = 0.195). In addition, the rate of collected CD34+ cells of = 8.0 × 106/kg was significantly higher in the etoposide group. Our results suggest that single-dose etoposide plus G-CSF may be a better option for patients who are expected to receive two or more transplantations.
