New drug combo aims to boost stem cell harvest for myeloma patients

NCT ID NCT05561751

First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This phase 2 study tests whether a new drug called GPC-100, combined with propranolol and with or without G-CSF, can effectively mobilize stem cells in people with multiple myeloma who are preparing for an autologous stem cell transplant. The goal is to see if enough stem cells can be collected in just two sessions. The trial enrolled 30 adults who were eligible for transplant and had achieved at least a partial response to prior therapy.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
GPC-100 (burixafor) combined with propranolol, with or without G-CSF
What this could lead to
If successful, this could improve stem cell collection for multiple myeloma patients undergoing transplant, making the process more efficient and reducing the need for additional sessions.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-phase trial with only 30 participants, so results may not apply to all patients. The combination may not work better than current methods, and side effects from the drugs are possible.
