New stem cell collection strategy aims to reduce transplant complications
NCT ID NCT07188090
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests a new approach to collect stem cells for transplant in people with multiple myeloma, Hodgkin lymphoma, or non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Instead of giving everyone the drug plerixafor, doctors will start with G-CSF alone and only add plerixafor if needed. The goal is to see if this method collects enough stem cells while possibly lowering the risk of engraftment syndrome, a complication that can cause fever, rash, and diarrhea after transplant. About 100 adults will take part.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Plerixafor (also called Mozobil) and G-CSF (filgrastim or peg-filgrastim)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this approach could make stem cell collection safer and more efficient for patients with multiple myeloma or lymphoma, reducing complications after transplant.
- What could go wrong
- This is a Phase 2 trial with only 100 participants, so results are preliminary. The strategy may not collect enough stem cells or may not lower engraftment syndrome risk as hoped.
