Clinical trial Recruiting at 17 sites Phase 3 Interventional Ages 18 to 75

Comparing two chemotherapy regimens for stem cell mobilization in lymphoma patients

Official title: A Prospective, Multicenter, Randomized Controlled Trial Comparing the Efficacy and Safety of Etoposide, Cytarabine, and PEG-rhG-CSF Combination Therapy vs. Disease-Specific Chemotherapy for Hematopoietic Stem Cell Mobilization in Lymphoma

Run by The Affiliated People's Hospital of Ningbo University · NCT06520163 · Data updated 2026-11-12

This study is testing a new combination of chemotherapy drugs to see if it helps lymphoma patients collect enough stem cells for treatment better than the standard approach.

Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Ideal candidates are patients diagnosed with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma who are indicated for autologous stem cell transplantation.

Probably not a fit

Patients with significant cardiac issues, liver dysfunction, or those who have previously undergone stem cell mobilization may not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies

This clinical trial evaluates the efficacy and safety of a combination therapy involving etoposide, cytarabine, and pegylated recombinant human granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (PEG-rhG-CSF) for mobilizing hematopoietic stem cells in patients with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. A total of 99 patients will be randomly assigned to receive either this experimental regimen or a disease-specific chemotherapy regimen. The primary goal is to determine the proportion of patients achieving the ideal collection of CD34+ cells after a single collection. The study will also monitor adverse reactions and the overall effectiveness of both treatment approaches.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could improve the efficiency of stem cell mobilization in lymphoma patients, potentially leading to better treatment outcomes.

How similar studies have gone: Other studies have shown promise with similar chemotherapy regimens for stem cell mobilization, indicating potential for success in this approach.
