AI-rewrites the medical criteria so a patient or caregiver can understand them. Always confirm with the trial site.
Inclusion Criteria:
* All of the following must be satisfied:
Aged 18 or over
Able to give informed written consent.
Diagnosis of EITHER multiple myeloma or related plasma cell dyscrasia, OR any form of lymphoma or associated lymphoproliferative disease Autologous stem cell transplantation is planned as the next course of treatment.
The patient has not previously undergone a mobilisation attempt for the current transplant. Patients who have received previous autologous transplants at least 2 years previously are eligible, as long as stem cell mobilisation has not been attempted for the current transplant.
No serious concomitant illness (e.g. heart disease) that might preclude completion of the study.
Creatinine clearance of at least 30 mls/min. Note that a dose reduction of plerixafor is required where the creatinine clearance is between 30-50 mls/min; see section 3.3/5.1/5.3.
Negative pregnancy test in women of childbearing age.
Exclusion Criteria:
* Unable to give informed written consent
Pregnancy or lactating
Creatinine clearance of less than 30 mls/min. Patients with clearances lower than this may still be able to receive plerixafor at reduced dosage following discussion with the trial co-ordinators, but are not eligible for entry into this trial.
Any previous attempt at mobilisation for the current transplant. Patients with any form of leukaemia, INCLUDING PLASMA CELL LEUKAEMIA, are not eligible.
Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
What they're measuring
1
A composite primary endpoint of BOTH an adequate stem cell harvest (≥4 x 106 CD34+/kg in no more than 2 aphereses); AND a neutrophil count that never falls below 1.0 x 109 / Litre in the 3 weeks following initiation of mobilisation.
Timeframe: 3 weeks following initiation of mobilisation
