abstract = {High-dose melphalan (HDM) and autologous blood stem cell
transplantation (ABSCT) is an effective treatment for
transplantation-eligible patients with systemic light chain
(AL) amyloidosis. Whereas most centers use granulocyte
colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) alone for mobilization of
peripheral blood stem cells (PBSC), the application of
mobilization chemotherapy might offer specific advantages.
We retrospectively analyzed 110 patients with AL amyloidosis
who underwent PBSC collection. Major eligibility criteria
included age <70 years and cardiac insufficiency New York
Heart Association ≤III°. Before mobilization, 67 patients
$(61\%)$ had been pretreated with induction therapy,
including 17 $(15\%)$ patients who had received melphalan.
Chemo-mobilization was performed with either
cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, dexamethasone (CAD)/G-CSF
(n = 78, $71\%);$ ifosfamide/G-CSF (n = 14, $13\%);$
or other regimens (n = 8, $7\%).$ AL amyloidosis
patients with predominant heart involvement and/or status
post heart transplantation were mobilized with G-CSF only
(n = 10, $9\%).$ PBSC collection was successful in 101
patients $(92\%)$ at first attempt. The median number of
CD34+ cells was 8.7 (range, 2.1 to 45.5) × 106 CD34+/kg
collected in a median of 1 leukapheresis (LP) session.
Compared with G-CSF-only mobilization, a chemo-mobilization
with CAD/G-CSF or ifosfamide/G-CSF had a positive impact on
the number of collected CD34+ cell number/kg per LP
(P <.001, multivariate). Melphalan-containing previous
therapy and higher age had a significant negative impact on
quantity of collected CD34+ cells. Median common toxicity
criteria (CTC) grade of nonhematologic toxicity was II
(range, 0 to IV). Life-threatening CTC grade IV adverse
events were observed in 3 patients with no fatalities.
Cardiovascular events were observed in 17 patients $(22\%)$
upon CAD/G-CSF mobilization (median CTC: grade 3; range, 1
to 4). Toxicity in patients undergoing ifosfamide/G-CSF
mobilization was higher than in with those who received
G-CSF-only mobilization. HDM and ABSCT were performed in 100
patients. Compared with >6.5 × 106 transplanted CD34+
cells/kg, an ABSCT with <3 × 106 CD34+ cells/kg was
associated with a longer duration to leukocyte
reconstitution >1 × 109/L and a reduced platelet count <150
× 109/L 1 year after ASCT. Our results show that CAD
chemotherapy is very effective in PBSC mobilization and has
a tolerable toxicity profile in AL amyloidosis patients. A
further toxicity reduction by omission of doxorubicin might
be considered. Because of advanced nonhematologic toxicity,
ifosfamide administration cannot be recommended. However,
G-CSF mobilization alone is also safe and effective.
Considering the hematopoietic reconstitution and long-term
stem cell function, our results provide a rationale to
collect and transplant as many as >6.5 × 106 CD34+
cells/kg, if feasible with reasonable effort.},
