Conditions: Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma Hodgkin Disease
Keywords: AMD3100 stem cell mobilization autologous transplant Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma Hodgkin Disease
Sponsor: Genzyme, a Sanofi Company
Start date: 2006-02-01; Completion date: 2009-06-01
Enrollment: 30 participants; Allocation: NON_RANDOMIZED; Intervention model: PARALLEL

Brief summary:
Participants with non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) or Hodgkin disease (HD) will be assigned to one of 2 arms based on the immunophenotype of their lymphoma.

(A)Participants with CD20(-) lymphoma will undergo mobilization with granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) and plerixafor.

(B) Participants with CD20(+) lymphomas will undergo mobilization with rituximab, G-CSF, and plerixafor. They will receive a weekly dose of rituximab beginning 1 week prior to, and continuing until 2 weeks after, the first dose of G-CSF.

Participants in both groups will receive G-CSF twice daily for 4 days. In the evening on Day 4, a dose of plerixafor will be administered. Apheresis will be initiated the next morning. Participants will continue to receive G-CSF twice daily and to receive the evening dose of plerixafor followed by apheresis the next morning for up to a total of 4 aphereses or until ≥5\*10\^6 CD34+ cells/kg are collected.

Participants who are transplanted will be monitored for the time to polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMN), platelets (PLT), and lymphocyte engraftment. Follow-up assessments will be done at 100 days, and 6 and 12 months post-transplantation.

Detailed description:
This is a single-center, 2-arm, non-randomized, open-label study to evaluate the safety of plerixafor when used in combination with rituximab (Rituxan®) and granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) in patients with relapsed or refractory Hodgkin disease (HD) or non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL).

Participants will be assigned to one of 2 arms based on the immunophenotype of their lymphoma.

(A)Participants with CD20(-) lymphoma will undergo mobilization with G-CSF and plerixafor.

(B) Participants with CD20(+) lymphomas will undergo mobilization with rituximab, G-CSF, and plerixafor. They will receive a weekly dose of 375 mg/m2 rituximab by intravenous (iv) infusion beginning 1 week prior to, and continuing until 2 weeks after, the first dose of G-CSF.

Participants in both groups will receive 7.5 µg/kg G-CSF twice daily (morning and evening) for 4 days. In the evening (approximately 10:00 pm) on Day 4, a dose of plerixafor (240 µg/kg) will be administered. Apheresis will be initiated the next morning, approximately 10 to 11 hours after plerixafor is given. Participants will continue to receive G-CSF twice daily and to receive the evening dose of plerixafor followed by apheresis the next morning for up to a total of 4 aphereses or until ≥5\*10\^6 CD34+ cells/kg are collected.

Participants with an adequate number of autologous peripheral blood stem cells (PBSCs) collected by apheresis will be admitted to the study center for the administration of high-dose chemotherapy and autologous transplantation. After transplantation, the times to PMN, PLT, and lymphocyte engraftment will be measured. Participants will remain hospitalized until they achieve an absolute granulocyte count of \>500/µl in the peripheral blood. Graft durability will be assessed at 100 days, and 6 and 12 months post-transplantation.

Arms: arm 1: Participants with CD20- lymphoma arm 2: Participants with CD20+ lymphoma
Interventions: intervention 1: G-CSF plus plerixafor intervention 2: G-CSF plus plerixafor intervention 3: rituximab
Intervention descriptions: intervention 1: Participants underwent mobilization with G-CSF (7.5 µg/kg twice daily) for 4 days, administered by subcutaneous (sc) injection. On the evening of Day 4, participants received a dose of plerixafor (240 µg/kg), administered by SC injection. On Day 5, participants returned to the clinic and received a morning dose of G-CSF (7.5 µg/kg) and underwent apheresis approximately 10 to 11 hours after the dose of plerixafor. Participants were to continue to receive G-CSF twice daily and to receive the evening dose of plerixafor followed by apheresis the following morning for a maximum of 4 aphereses or until ≥ 5\*10\^6 CD34+ cells/kg were collected. intervention 2: Participants underwent mobilization with G-CSF (7.5 µg/kg twice daily) for 4 days, administered by subcutaneous (SC) injection. On the evening of Day 4, participants received a dose of plerixafor (240 µg/kg), administered by SC injection. On Day 5, participants returned to the clinic and received a morning dose of G-CSF (7.5 µg/kg) and underwent apheresis approximately 10 to 11 hours after the dose of plerixafor. Participants were to continue to receive G-CSF twice daily and to receive the evening dose of plerixafor followed by apheresis the following morning for a maximum of 4 aphereses or until ≥5\*10\^6 CD34+ cells/kg were collected. intervention 3: Participants were given a weekly dose of rituximab 375mg/m2 by intravenous infusion for 1 week prior to and continuing until 2 weeks after the first dose of G-CSF.
