We performed a phase H trial to assess the ability of G-CSF -mobilized PBPC to rapidly and completely restore hemopeiesis after high dose chemotherapy in the absence of bone marrow infusions, with selection for PBPC-only infusions based on yield of granulocyte -macrophage colony -forming cells (GM-CFC) after G-CSF treatment. Our approach for high-dose (HD) chemotherapy is to first treat patients eligible for dose intensification with a standard dose chemotherapy (VIP: VP26 = etoposide: 500 mg/m 2, ifosfamide: 4 g/m 2, cis-platinum: 50 mg/m 2) followed by the application of colony stimulating factors (G-CSF, GM-CSF or IL-3 + GM-CSF) in order to combine a regimen with broad anti-tumor activity with the recruitment of peripheral blood progenitor cells (PBPCs). ./cache/cord-006444-eq56zhtd.txt ./txt/cord-006444-eq56zhtd.txt
