Combination of G-CSF with a chemotherapeutic agent for stem cell mobilization

摘要

The invention relates to the use of G-CSF in combination with a chemotherapeutic agent (in particular, cyclophosphamide) to produce a pharmaceutical preparation for boosting the mobilization of hematopoietic stem cells from bone marrow in the treatment of diseases requiring peripheral stem cell transplantation. The claimed combination results in more efficient leukapheresis, e.g. before myeloblative or myelotoxic therapy.
