The journal article, 'intermediate-dose cyclophosphamide and bortezomib for pbsc mobilization in multiple myeloma', describes a study of the mobilization efficacy, safety, and disease response of intermediate-dose cyclophosphamide (total 4 g/m2 ) and bortezomib (bor-id-cy) for pbsc mobilization in patients with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma (mm) who had undergone induction therapy, and compared these with the responses in a historical control group who received intermediate-dose cyclophosphamide (id-cy), without bortezomib, for peripheral blood stem cell (pbsc) mobilization at the same hospitals.Four patients (19 %) in the bor-id-cy group and four patients (27 %) in the id-cy group developed febrile neutropenia.Nine patients (43 %) in the bor-id-cy group and four patients (27 %) in the id-cy group needed platelet transfusions (table 5).Four patients in the bor-id-cy group developed sepsis, and the confirmed pathogens were: staphylococcus aureus, streptococcus mitis, streptococcus oralis, and citrobacter freundii (n = 1 each).No cases of sepsis were reported in the id-cy group (table 5).There were no other serious non-hematologic toxicities in the two groups (table 5), and no patient developed peripheral neuropathy.The article does not provide individual patient information, therefore this report is being provided as a summary of events.The collection sets are not available for return for evaluation.
