The study is an italian multicentric and will be conducted in 20 centers. The aim of this study is to evaluate poor mobilizer (PM) rate in newly diagnosed MM patients who are mobilized with cyclophosphamide and G-CSF and plerixafor on demand. Plerixafor is a specific reversible inhibitor of the chemokine receptor CXCR4 and prevents the binding of its ligand stromal cell derived factor SDF-1α also known as CXCL12, thereby releasing hematopoietic stem cells into the circulation.

Plerixafor (AMD3100) is a selective, reversible inhibitor of the receptor chemokine (C-X-C motif) receptor 4 (CXCR4) and prevents binding of its cognate ligand stromal cell derived factor-1α (SDF-1α), also known as chemokine (C-X-C motif) ligand 12 (CXCL12) \[3\]. CXCR4 is a co-receptor, along with CD4, for the binding of human immunodeficiency virus, type 1 (HIV-1) to its receptor cells.

Assessment of success rate expressed as % of patients mobilizing ≥2x106 CD34+ cells/kg in maximum 3 apheresis and patient who achieves the optimal target of 4x106 CD34+ cells/kg up to 5 apheresis.
Time frame: 3 years
% of patients having received plerixafor in the study population
Time frame: 3 years
Evaluate in patients failing mobilisation how many of them received plerixafor and how many did not
Time frame: 3 years
Evaluation of speed of mobilization using plerixafor, in terms of increase in number of circulating CD34+ cells from time 0 to 6-11 hours after the first dose of plerixafor.
Time frame: 3 years
Total number of CD34+ cells collected per apheresis day
Time frame: 3 years
Confirmation of factors predicting a poor mobilization: patients who experienced grade 3-4 haematological toxicity during induction, used lenalidomide as induction treatment, aged > 60 years old and experienced cytopenia at diagnosis.
Time frame: 3 years
