The Effect of Rituximab on Mobilization With AMD3100 (Plerixafor) Plus G-CSF in Patients With Relapsed or Refractory Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma (NHL) or Hodgkin Disease (HD)

Participants underwent mobilization with G-CSF (7.5 µg/kg twice daily) for 4 days, administered by subcutaneous (sc) injection. On the evening of Day 4, participants received a dose of plerixafor (240 µg/kg), administered by SC injection. On Day 5, participants returned to the clinic and received a morning dose of G-CSF (7.5 µg/kg) and underwent apheresis approximately 10 to 11 hours after the dose of plerixafor. Participants were to continue to receive G-CSF twice daily and to receive the evening dose of plerixafor followed by apheresis the following morning for a maximum of 4 aphereses or until ≥ 5\*10\^6 CD34+ cells/kg were collected.
