Abstract
Background: High-dose chemotherapy followed by autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) remains the standard of care for fit patients with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma (MM). The increasing use of CD38 antibody-based quadruplet induction regimens such as daratumumab-VTd (Dara-VTd) has raised concerns regarding impaired stem cell mobilization.
Study design and methods: We conducted a retrospective single-center analysis comparing steady-state stem cell mobilization after Dara-VTd versus bortezomib-cyclophosphamide-dexamethasone (VCd) induction. Mobilization kinetics, plerixafor use, and CD34+ collection outcomes were evaluated. CD34+ counts prior to first apheresis were adjusted for plerixafor use (adjCD34+). Multivariate logistic regression was performed to identify predictors of mobilization success.
Results: Among 153 patients, 85 received Dara-VTd and 68 received VCd. Despite significantly deeper responses after Dara-VTd (≥VGPR 81% vs. 42%; p < .01), these patients showed lower adjCD34+ counts prior to first apheresis (16 vs. 50/μL; p < .01) and required plerixafor more frequently (64% vs. 15%; p < .01). Nevertheless, cumulative CD34+ yields were comparable between Dara-VTd and VCd (6.4 vs. 6.0 × 106 CD34+ cells/kg; p = .15), and target yields were achieved in the majority of patients proceeding to apheresis (90% vs. 94%). Dara-VTd induction, prior radiation, and high tumor burden were identified as independent negative predictors of mobilization success.
Discussion: Although Dara-VTd induction is associated with impaired mobilization kinetics, successful steady-state mobilization remains feasible. On-demand plerixafor use overcomes mobilization deficits, supporting this approach in patients receiving CD38-based quadruplet induction therapy. Furthermore, follow-up analysis of stem cell graft utilization demonstrates a high proportion of collected but unused stem cell grafts in both cohorts.
背景:大剂量化疗后自体干细胞移植(ASCT)仍然是新诊断的多发性骨髓瘤(MM)患者的标准治疗方法。越来越多地使用基于CD38抗体的四联体诱导方案,如daratumumab-VTd (Dara-VTd),引起了对受损干细胞动员的担忧。研究设计和方法:我们进行了一项回顾性单中心分析,比较Dara-VTd和硼替佐米-环磷酰胺-地塞米松(VCd)诱导后的稳态干细胞动员。评估动员动力学、多立沙的使用和CD34+收集结果。首次采珠前CD34+计数调整为plerixafor使用(adjCD34+)。采用多元逻辑回归来确定动员成功的预测因素。结果:153例患者中,Dara-VTd 85例,VCd 68例。尽管达拉- vtd后的反应更深(≥VGPR 81% vs. 42%;第一次采前p +计数(16 vs. 50/μL);达拉- vtd和VCd之间的p +产量相当(6.4 vs. 6.0 × 106 CD34+细胞/kg; p =。15),大多数进行单采的患者达到了目标产率(90%对94%)。Dara-VTd诱导、既往放疗和高肿瘤负荷被确定为活动成功的独立负预测因素。讨论:尽管Dara-VTd诱导与动员动力学受损有关,但成功的稳态动员仍然是可行的。按需使用plerixafor克服了动员缺陷,在接受基于cd38的四联体诱导治疗的患者中支持这种方法。此外,干细胞移植物利用的随访分析表明,在两个队列中,收集但未使用的干细胞移植物的比例很高。
