Single-Dose vs. Divided-Dose G-CSF for Stem Cell Mobilization in Healthy Allogeneic Donors
China560 participantsStarted 2026-07-10
Plain-language summary
National and international guidelines/consensus recommend G-CSF (granulocyte colony-stimulating factor) at 10 μg/kg/day as a single daily dose or divided into two daily doses for mobilization in healthy donors for allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. However, there is no consensus or standard regarding single versus divided dosing, and high-quality evidence is lacking. Existing randomized controlled trials have small sample sizes and inconsistent conclusions, and none have focused on Asian population characteristics (e.g., body weight and drug metabolism differences). This study aims to provide level I evidence to optimize donor experience and define the optimal administration strategy.
Inclusion criteria: Healthy allogeneic stem cell donors aged 18-60 years, meeting institutional standard donor screening criteria (HLA matching, normal blood counts, normal liver and kidney function, negative infection screening), and providing written informed consent.
Primary endpoint: The rate of achieving a first apheresis yield of ≥ 4 × 10⁶ CD34⁺ cells/kg (donor body weight) after 5 days of G-CSF mobilization.
Secondary endpoints: The rate of achieving ≥ 2 × 10⁶ CD34⁺ cells/kg with at most one apheresis; time to myeloid, platelet, and erythroid engraftment in recipients; the proportion and composition of immune cells (CD34⁺, CD3⁺, CD19⁺, CD56⁺, etc.) in the apheresis product; donor adverse events; donor-reported outcomes; and the difference in CD34⁺ stem cell yields between single-dose and divided-dose mobilization.
Intervention: G-CSF will be administered at a total dose of 10 μg/kg/day, either as a single daily injection or divided into two equal daily injections.
This study is designed to investigate whether single-dose or divided-dose G-CSF administration is superior for mobilizing healthy donors in allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.

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.
