Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • All of the following must be satisfied:
  • Aged 18 or over
  • Able to give informed written consent.
  • Diagnosis of EITHER multiple myeloma or related plasma cell dyscrasia, OR any form of lymphoma or associated lymphoproliferative disease Autologous stem cell transplantation is planned as the next course of treatment.
  • The patient has not previously undergone a mobilisation attempt for the current transplant. Patients who have received previous autologous transplants at least 2 years previously are eligible, as long as stem cell mobilisation has not been attempted for the current transplant.
  • No serious concomitant illness (e.g. heart disease) that might preclude completion of the study.
  • Creatinine clearance of at least 30 mls/min. Note that a dose reduction of plerixafor is required where the creatinine clearance is between 30-50 mls/min; see section 3.3/5.1/5.3.
  • Negative pregnancy test in women of childbearing age.

Who cannot join

  • Unable to give informed written consent
  • Pregnancy or lactating
  • Creatinine clearance of less than 30 mls/min. Patients with clearances lower than this may still be able to receive plerixafor at reduced dosage following discussion with the trial co-ordinators, but are not eligible for entry into this trial.
  • Any previous attempt at mobilisation for the current transplant. Patients with any form of leukaemia, INCLUDING PLASMA CELL LEUKAEMIA, are not eligible.

About this study

Official title: A Comparison of Plerixafor/G-CSF With Chemotherapy/G-CSF for Stem Cell Mobilisation

To assess the efficacy and toxicity of plerixafor (AMD 3100) together with granulocyte-colony stimulating factor (G-CSF) for stem cell mobilisation, in patients with myeloma or lymphoma requiring high dose chemotherapy with stem cell rescue.

Being tested
Plerixafor and G-CSF
Medical subject headings
Multiple Myeloma, Paraproteinemias, Lymphoma, Lymphoproliferative Disorders

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Plerixafor and G-CSFDrug

    G-CSF will be given daily from day 1, which will usually be timed to fall toward the end of the working week. Plerixafor will commence on day 4 at as near to 10 PM as practicable, and also on day 5 and subsequent days (maximum of 4 total days) at a similar time of day if insufficient CD34+ cells have been collected. Stem cell harvesting will be carried out on day 5 and if necessary on days 6, 7 and 8, until the target yield of 4 x 106 CD34+ cells /kg recipient weight have been achieved.

    The daily dose of G-CSF is 300 ug for patients up to and including 60kg in weight; 480 ug for patients over 60 kg but under 96 kg, and 600 ug for patients weighing 96 kg or more. This equates to a dose of at least 5 ug/kg (maximum 8 mg/kg) for all patients up to 120 kg. The daily dose of plerixafor is 240 ug/kg if the creatinine clearance is equal to or greater than 50mls/minute; if less than this then the dose is 160 ug/kg daily.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. A composite primary endpoint of BOTH an adequate stem cell harvest (≥4 x 106 CD34+/kg in no more than 2 aphereses); AND a neutrophil count that never falls below 1.0 x 109 / Litre in the 3 weeks following initiation of mobilisation.

    Measured: 3 weeks following initiation of mobilisation

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Serial neutrophil and platelet counts during mobilisation

    Measured: 1 Day

  2. Total stem cell yield in 1-2 aphereses

    Measured: 1 day

  3. The usage of plerixafor and the number and timing of apheresis collections

    Measured: 1 day

  4. The time to neutrophil engraftment after subsequent transplantation

    Measured: First of 2 consecutive days on which the neutrophil count equals or exceeds 0.5 x 109/litre

  5. The time to platelet engraftment after subsequent transplantation

    Measured: First of two consecutive days on which the platelet count equals or exceeds 50 x 109/litre, having been free of platelet transfusion for at least 48 hours

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Plerixafor and G-CSF in people with Multiple Myeloma and Plasma Cell Dyscrasia, run by University of Liverpool at 1 site in United Kingdom.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 8 inclusion and 4 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 17 Mar 2025. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United Kingdom. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

A composite primary endpoint of BOTH an adequate stem cell harvest (≥4 x 106 CD34+/kg in no more than 2 aphereses); AND a neutrophil count that never falls below 1.0 x 109 / Litre in the 3 weeks following initiation of mobilisation. (time frame: 3 weeks following initiation of mobilisation). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 17 Mar 2025.
