TLDR
Plerixafor and G- CSF were well tolerated, and significantly more patients collected the optimal CD34(+) cell/kg target for transplantation earlier compared with G-CSF alone.

CXCL12 (SDF-1)/CXCR4 Pathway in Cancer

TL;DR: This work has shown that the CXCL12/CXCR4 axis is involved in tumor progression, angiogenesis, metastasis, and survival, and this pathway is a target for therapeutics that can block the CZC receptor 4 interaction or inhibit downstream intracellular signaling.
Book ChapterDOI

The intricate role of CXCR4 in cancer.

TL;DR: This review provides a comprehensive overview of the biological involvement of CXCR4 in human cancers, the current status of C XCR4-based therapeutic approaches, as well as recent advances in noninvasive imaging of CxCR4 expression.

A phase 1/2 study of chemosensitization with the CXCR4 antagonist plerixafor in relapsed or refractory acute myeloid leukemia

TL;DR: It is concluded that the addition of plerixafor to cytotoxic chemotherapy is feasible in AML, and results in encouraging rates of remission with correlative studies demonstrating in vivo evidence of disruption of the CXCR4/CXCL12 axis.

A prospective, randomized trial of autologous bone marrow transplantation and chemotherapy in multiple myeloma. Intergroupe Français du Myélome.

TL;DR: The response rate among the patients who received high-dose therapy was 81 percent, whereas it was 57 percent in the group treated with conventional chemotherapy (P<0.001).

High-dose chemotherapy with hematopoietic stem-cell rescue for multiple myeloma.

TL;DR: High-dose therapy with autologous stem-cell rescue is an effective first-line treatment for patients with multiple myeloma who are younger than 65 years of age and trend toward a greater survival benefit in the group of patients with a poor prognosis.

Single versus Double Autologous Stem-Cell Transplantation for Multiple Myeloma

TL;DR: As compared with a single autologous stem-cell transplantation after high-dose chemotherapy, double transplantation improves overall survival among patients with myeloma, especially those who do not have a very good partial response after undergoing one transplantation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Total Therapy With Tandem Transplants for Newly Diagnosed Multiple Myeloma

TL;DR: Time-dependent covariate analysis suggested that timely application of a second transplant extended both EFS and OS significantly, independent of cytogenetics and beta-2-microglobulin.
