title: [Efficacy and toxicity of lenograstim (glycosylated recombinant human granulocyte-colony stimulating factor) on peripheral blood stem cell harvest in healthy donors].
abstract: Peripheral blood stem cell harvest with lenograstim (glycosylated rhG-CSF) was performed 12 times from 10 normal donors. Five micrograms/kg of lenograstim was administered subcutaneously twice a day (10 micrograms/kg/day) for 4 to 6 days, and apheresis was performed on day 5 to 7 depending on the collected CD 34+ cell counts. We collected a sufficient number of CD 34+ cells in 9 mobilizations from 7 donors less than 50 years of age, with a total number of collected CD 34+ cells in each mobilization of 22.1 +/- 6.5 x 10(7). In contrast, we could not obtain a sufficient number of CD 34+ cells in 2 mobilizations from 3 donors above 50 years of age, with a total number of collected CD 34+ cells of 9.8 +/- 3.3 x 10(7). Although all donors had adverse events in response to lenograstim administration, all of them were grade 2 or less toxicity. These results indicate that peripheral blood stem cell mobilization and apheresis by lenograstim is safe and well tolerated, but the risk of poor mobilization may become higher in donors more than 50 years of age.
