Economic Evaluation of the Use of Plerixafor for Autologous HSC Transplantation for Multiple Myeloma (PLERIXAFOR)

Inclusion Criteria:

• Adult patients diagnosed with Multiple Myeloma who were eligible for high-dose melphalan supported with autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) as part of their treatment plan
• First mobilization attempt
• "rhG-CSF alone" mobilization regimen
• Failed mobilization as documented by an increase in CD34+ cell mobilization deemed insufficient to initiate apheresis (below 15/µL), after the 4 first injections of rhG-CSF that are administered in the evening

Exclusion Criteria:

• Age < 18 years;
• Primary diagnosis other than MM
• 2nd or subsequent mobilization attempt
• Patients who previously received HDCT + autologous HSCT
• Chemotherapy-based mobilization regimen
• Efficient mobilization, allowing for apheresis and collection of the target cell number (5x106 CD34+ cells/kg for every planned autologous transplantation as per institutional SOPs).
