A new drug may help cancer patients mobilize stem cells necessary to restore their blood-forming system after high-dose chemotherapy, according to clinical trial results. Researchers found that patients with multiple myeloma or non-Hodgkin's lymphoma who received the drug AMD-3100 along with the standard drug G-CSF (granulocyte-colony stimulating factor) had more stem cells available for transplantation than those who received G-CSF. Stem cell transplantation is front-line therapy for bone marrow cancer and certain leukemias and lymphomas.
