Evaluation of Plerixafor (Mozobil ™, AMD3100) in Combination With Chemotherapy and G-CSF for CD34+ Cell Mobilization

The purpose of this study is to test whether the addition of the drug plerixafor to
treatment with chemotherapy and G-CSF can better activate your bone marrow stem cells to
improve the chances of transplant. The study will look for the activation of a certain type
of blood cell, called CD34+ cells in patients who receive plerixafor, chemotherapy and
G-CSF. The investigators will follow the number of patients that achieve the target numbers
of CD34+ cells. The number of patients achieving the target level of CD34+ cells, and the
total number of CD34+ cells, will be compared to the numbers in previous studies testing
just chemotherapy and G-CSF, without plerixafor.

The investigators will also test the safety of the combination of plerixafor with
chemotherapy and G-CSF and look at the success of the transplantation after 12 months.

Study is ongoing; no interim analysis.
