Abstract
Background
Hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) mobilization is a critical step in autologous transplantation for patients with multiple myeloma and lymphoma. While several risk factors for mobilization failure have been identified, real-world data from Latin America remain limited. This study aimed to describe mobilization outcomes and associated factors in a transplant center in Colombia.
Methods
We conducted a retrospective cohort study including patients with multiple myeloma or lymphoma who initiated HSC mobilization between 2019 and 2023 at Clínica de Marly in Bogotá, Colombia. The primary outcome was mobilization success, defined as the collection of at least 2 × 10⁶ CD34⁺ cells/kg. We analyzed clinical, treatment-related, and laboratory variables using univariate and multivariate logistic regression to identify factors associated with mobilization success or failure.
Results
A total of 414 patients were included; the overall mobilization success rate was 86.7 %. In multivariate analysis, previous mobilization failure (OR 0.035, p < 0.001), age ≥ 65 years (OR 0.94, p = 0.003), and lymphoma diagnosis (OR 0.39, p = 0.02) were independently associated with mobilization failure. CD34⁺ counts on days + 4 and + 5 were strong predictors of successful mobilization, with thresholds of > 10 × 10⁶/L and > 20 × 10⁶/L, respectively. Currently, at our center, the standard mobilization regimen consists of filgrastim 10 µg/kg/day for five days, with just-in-time plerixafor administered based on CD34⁺ monitoring results.
Conclusion
Hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) mobilization remains a multifactorial challenge influenced by patient-, disease-, and treatment-related factors. Our findings underscore the importance of early identification of poor mobilizers and support the use of CD34⁺ monitoring and just-in-time plerixafor as effective strategies to optimize mobilization outcomes, particularly in resource-limited settings.
期刊介绍:
Transfusion and Apheresis Science brings comprehensive and up-to-date information to physicians and health care professionals involved in the rapidly changing fields of transfusion medicine, hemostasis and apheresis. The journal presents original articles relating to scientific and clinical studies in the areas of immunohematology, transfusion practice, bleeding and thrombotic disorders and both therapeutic and donor apheresis including hematopoietic stem cells. Topics covered include the collection and processing of blood, compatibility testing and guidelines for the use of blood products, as well as screening for and transmission of blood-borne diseases. All areas of apheresis - therapeutic and collection - are also addressed. We would like to specifically encourage allied health professionals in this area to submit manuscripts that relate to improved patient and donor care, technical aspects and educational issues.
Transfusion and Apheresis Science features a "Theme" section which includes, in each issue, a group of papers designed to review a specific topic of current importance in transfusion and hemostasis for the discussion of topical issues specific to apheresis and focuses on the operators'' viewpoint. Another section is "What''s Happening" which provides informal reporting of activities in the field. In addition, brief case reports and Letters to the Editor, as well as reviews of meetings and events of general interest, and a listing of recent patents make the journal a complete source of information for practitioners of transfusion, hemostasis and apheresis science. Immediate dissemination of important information is ensured by the commitment of Transfusion and Apheresis Science to rapid publication of both symposia and submitted papers.
