  ABSTRACT: Plerixafor is a stem cell mobilising agent, and when administered along with G-CSF has been shown to improve CD34+ stem cell collections in lymphoma and multiple myeloma patients compared to G-CSF alone. Patients who failed to mobilize 6 cells/kg on Day 1 collection received Plerixafor and G CSF for further collections. Study population was divided into two groups as plerixafor yes (PY) who are poor mobilizers and Plerixafor No (PN) who are good mobilizers. Out of 49 patients, 28 patients were in PY group and 21 patients in PN group. Median value of apheresis CD34 of day 1 was 1.75 (range 0.258 to 8.52) in PY group and 2.63 (range 1.06 to 6.29) in PN group and that of day 2 was 3.845 (range 0.317 to 13.89) in PY group and 3.18 (range 0.88 to 6.348) in PN group. Median value of total apheresis CD34 was 8.10 (range 4.33 to 18.66) in PY group and 7.58 (range 4.06 to 9.8) in PN group. Median day of neutrophil engraftment was 11.5 (range 9 - 22) in PY group and 11 (range 9 - 36) in PN group whereas median day of platelet engraftment was 14 (range 9 - 98) in PY group and 13 (range 11 - 98) in PN group. It can be concluded that the use of plerixafor not only enabled poor mobilizers of Lymphoma and Multiple Myeloma to collect adequate stem cells to proceed to ASCT, but also had early neutrophil and platelet engraftment which was comparable with good mobilizers.
