Abstract

High-dose chemotherapy (HDT) and hematopoietic SCT are effective in patients with relapsing or refractory malignant lymphoma. Collection of sufficient numbers of stem cells is a prerequisite for such a therapy. In a pilot trial, we evaluated the feasibility of stem cell mobilization with vinorelbine/G-CSF in patients with lymphoma, a regimen allowing precise timing and harvesting of sufficient stem cells in myeloma patients. Forty-five patients with lymphoma received vinorelbine 35 mg/m(2) i.v. on day 1 and G-CSF 10 microg/kg/day s.c., divided in two daily doses from day 4 until collection. Stem cell collection was successfully performed in 43 patients (96%) with a median of 3.6 x 10(6) CD34(+) cells/kg (range: 1.4-16) in the collected product. In 28 patients (62%), the first stem cell apheresis was performed on day 8, and for 28 patients a sufficient stem cell yield was reached with one apheresis only. All 43 patients underwent high-dose chemotherapy with BEAM and auto-SCT with hematological recovery on time and without unexpected toxicity. In conclusion, vinorelbine/G-CSF allows accurate timing and safe harvesting of sufficient stem cells in patients with malignant lymphoma.
