We performed a comparative analysis of safety and efficacy of chemo-mobilization versus a plerixafor-based approach in 98 lymphoma patients
Chemo-mobilization provided a significantly higher total CD34+ cell yield
No difference was seen in the number of apheresis sessions
Chemo-mobilization was associated with higher transfusion requirements (both platelet and red blood cells) and comparable other toxicities
Chemo-mobilization was associated with significantly less total mobilization cost than plerixafor-based approaches
