Clinical Scorecard: Comparative Analysis of Single-Dose Pegylated G-CSF Versus Daily G-CSF for Mobilizing Peripheral Blood Stem Cells in Donors: Results from a Multicenter, Randomized Controlled Study

At a Glance

CategoryDetail
ConditionPeripheral Blood Stem Cell Mobilization
Key MechanismsPegylated G-CSF offers a longer half-life and reduces the need for daily injections compared to traditional G-CSF.
Target PopulationHealthy donors aged 18-55 years related to allo-HSCT recipients.
Care SettingMulticenter, randomized controlled trial

Key Highlights

  • 83.3% of donors in the Peg-G-CSF group collected ≥4×10^6 CD34+ cells/kg recipient weight.
  • The median yield of CD34+ cells was comparable between Peg-G-CSF and G-CSF groups.
  • No significant difference in side effects, engraftment, GVHD, or survival between groups.

Guideline-Based Recommendations

Diagnosis

  • Eligible donors must be related to allo-HSCT recipients and meet specific health criteria.

Management

  • Administer 12 mg Peg-G-CSF as a single dose or 10 µg/kg/d G-CSF daily for mobilization.

Monitoring & Follow-up

  • Monitor CD34+ cell counts, adverse events, and outcomes in recipients post-transplant.

Risks

  • Potential side effects similar between Peg-G-CSF and G-CSF; monitor for GVHD and other complications.

Patient & Prescribing Data

Healthy donors aged 18-55 years with normal organ function and negative infectious disease tests.

Peg-G-CSF provides a single-dose alternative to daily G-CSF with comparable efficacy.

Clinical Best Practices

  • Follow ethical guidelines and obtain informed consent from all participants.
  • Ensure rigorous monitoring of donor health and recipient outcomes.
