1. What is Plerixafor Accord and what is it used for

Plerixafor Accord contains the active substance plerixafor, which blocks a protein on the surface of hematopoietic stem cells. This protein "anchors" the stem cells to the bone marrow. Plerixafor improves the release of stem cells into the bloodstream (mobilization). The stem cells can then be collected using a machine that separates the components of the blood (apheresis machine), frozen, and stored until they are transplanted.

If mobilization is poor, Plerixafor Accord is given to help collect stem cells from the patient's blood for collection, storage, and re-infusion (transplant),

  • In adult patients with lymphoma (a cancer of white blood cells) or multiple myeloma (a cancer that affects the plasma cells of the bone marrow).
  • In children from 1 to less than 18 years with lymphoma or solid tumors.

3. How to use Plerixafor Accord

Your doctor or nurse will inject the medicine into you.

Plerixafor Accord is given by subcutaneous injection (under the skin).

When is Plerixafor Accord given for the first time?

How long will the administration of Plerixafor Accord last?

Treatment lasts from 2 to 4 consecutive days (in some cases up to 7 days), until enough stem cells have been collected for transplantation. In some cases, it is not possible to collect enough stem cells, so the collection attempt will be interrupted.
