Abstract Abstract 3228 Poster Board III-165 Introduction Using standard dose G-CSF (10 μg/kg) for stem cell mobilization, 25-40% of patients, deemed to be hard to mobilize based on prior therapy, will not collect sufficient HSC (> 2-2.5 × 106 CD34/kg) to proceed to a prompt autotransplant. Strategies to improve CD34/kg yields have included dose escalating G-CSF up to 30 μg/kg or combining G-CSF and GM-CSF. While dose escalated G-CSF is effective in increasing CD34 yields in normal donors as is the combination of G-CSF and GM-CSF, their comparative value in pre-treated patients has not been tested. To determine the value of these strategies, we performed a randomized comparison of high dose G-CSF (30 μg/kg as 2 doses 12 hours apart), to the combination of simultaneous single daily doses of G-CSF (10 μg/kg) plus GM-CSF (5 μg/kg), to a control group receiving G-CSF at an equivalent total dose of cytokine to the combination arm (15μg/kg) as a single dose. Patients and Methods Patients were eligible if heavily pre-treated, defined as: a minimum of 10 total cycles of combination chemotherapy and two prior regimens, or a total of 6 chemotherapy cycles if the patient also received RT to marrow bearing sites, platinum-based chemotherapy or 2 or more cycles of any BCNU or fludarabine containing regimen. Baseline WBC had to be > 3000/μl, ANC > 1500/μl and a platelets > 100,000/μl. Twelve liter aphereses began on day 5 of mobilization, and continued until ≥ 4 × 106 CD34/kg were collected or a maximum of 5 aphereses. Patients typically proceeded to transplant if they had ≥ 2.5 × 106 CD34/kg collected and were always re-mobilized if they collected < 2.0 × 106 CD34/kg. CD34 subsets (CD34+/CD33- and CD34+/CD38-) were also assessed for the 3 groups to determine if more primitive HSC were mobilized by the 2 novel strategies. The sample size was calculated based as follows: 60% of the control group would collect 2.5 × 106 CD34/kg and this would rise to 90% in one or both study arms. The detection of such differences with a power of 80% and a 2-sided alpha level of 0.025 required a total sample of 120 patients. Results A total of 120 patients were randomized; 119 were eligible. Patient demographics, shown in the Table, were matched among the three groups: The % of patients collecting ≥2.5 × 106 CD34/kg was: standard G: 60%, high dose G: 57% (p = 1.0), G + GM: 41% (p = 0.1). Median CD34 collected in first mobilization were, 3.6 × 106/kg, 3.0 × 106/kg (p = 0.22) and 2.0 × 106/kg (p = 0.05) respectively in a median of 4, 4, and 5 aphereses (p = NS). Re-mobilization rates: standard G; 37.5%, high dose G: 35%; G + GM: 50% (p = NS). Total median CD34 collected from first and any second mobilizations were: standard G: 4.8 × 106/kg, high dose G: 3.9 × 106/kg, and G + GM: 3.5 × 106/kg. One patient in the standard G arm and 3 in high dose G did not proceed to transplant due to poor initial mobilization and progression in 2, and one each for progression or poor mobilization alone. There were no significant differences in median engraftment times: for ANC, 10, 11 and 15 days respectively for the standard G-, high dose G- and G + GM arms and for platelets, 11, 13 and 14 days respectively. The overall survivals @ the median f/u time of 37 months were 59.8%, 61.8% and 48.1% respectively (p = 0.272) for the three groups. The % primitive HSC (CD34+/CD33- and CD34+/CD38-) from the first mobilization were identical in the 3 patient groups. Conclusions We found no advantage to dose escalated G-CSF nor to the combination of G-CSF and GM-CSF to mobilize HSC for autotransplantation in heavily pre-treated patients. We also did not find higher numbers of more primitive CD34 subsets mobilized by these newer strategies. Alternative approaches, e.g. the combination of plerixifor + standard dose G-CSF (Stiff et al: BBMT; 15:249-56, 2009) would appear to be the preferred method of initial HSC mobilization for heavily pre-treated patients.

Abstract Introduction: The German-Speaking Myeloma Multicenter Group (GMMG) has initiated a randomized multicenter phase III trial on the effect of elotuzumab in VRD (bortezomib, lenalidomide, dexamethasone) induction/consolidation and lenalidomide maintenance in patients with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma (GMMG-HD6 trial, NCT02495922). The study compares four cycles induction therapy with VRD vs. VRD + elotuzumab, followed by standard intensification (i.e. mobilization and stem cell transplantation), two cycles consolidation with VRD/VRD + elotuzumab and lenalidomide maintenance +/- elotuzumab. The primary endpoint is determination of the best of four treatment strategies regarding progression-free survival. Here we present a first analysis of stem cell mobilization within this study. Patients and Methods: We performed a retrospective analysis of collection data on all patients who underwent peripheral blood stem cell (PBSC) collection between trial initiation in June 2015 and June 2016. Only patients with completely available datasets in respect of mobilization were considered (n=111). The vast majority of 99 patients (89%) received chemomobilization with CAD (cyclophosphamide, adriamycin, dexamethasone) followed by 5-10 µg G-CSF /kg body weight (bw) /d (starting day +9 until completion of PBSC collection), while in one case (1%) dexamethasone was omitted and in 10 cases (9%) cyclophosphamide mono was administered. One patient underwent steady-state mobilization with G-CSF only (10µg /kg bw /d). 55/111 patients received VRD (50%), whereas the remaining patients received VRD + elotuzumab. According to the recommendations of the study group, PBSCs for three stem cell transplants were to be collected. One transplant ideally consisted of ≥2.5 x10^6 CD34+ cells /kg bw, but in the event of poor mobilization as low as ≥2.0 x10^6 CD34+ cells /kg bw would be considered acceptable. Results: The median number of collected CD34+ cells was 10.4 x10^6 /kg bw (range 2.88 to 23.01 x10^6 /kg bw). Overall, 92 patients (83%) collected ≥7.5 x10^6 CD34+ cells /kg bw and another 12 patients (11%) collected between 6.0 and 7.5 x10^6 CD34+ cells /kg bw, resulting in three transplants, respectively. Only 7 patients (6%) collected below 6.0 x10^6 CD34+ cells /kg bw; 5 of them had been treated in the VRD-arm without elotuzumab. Due to insufficient PBSC mobilization after conventional treatment, 14 patients (13%) received a rescue mobilization with plerixafor, from which 12 patients collected ≥6.0 x10^6 CD34+ cells /kg bw. Overall, 7 serious adverse events (SAEs) occurred during mobilization phase, 4 of them in the study arm with elotuzumab. Conclusions: Cyclophosphamide-based chemomobilization after induction therapy with VRD is feasible. Efficient PBSC collection of ≥6.0 x10^6 CD34+ cells /kg bw could be performed in 104 of 111 patients (94%), with a low incidence of SAEs. The need for rescue mobilization was not higher than that of comparable previous GMMG treatment protocols. The addition of elotuzumab during induction phase did not impede PBSC collection.
