1. What is Mozobil and what is it used for

Mozobil contains the active substance plerixafor, which blocks a protein on the surface of hematopoietic stem cells. This protein "fixes" 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 transplantation.

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

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

2. What you need to know before you use Mozobil

Do not use Mozobil

  • if you are allergic to plerixafor or any of the other ingredients of this medicine (listed in section 6).

Warnings and precautions

Talk to your doctor before you start using Mozobil.

Tell your doctor:

  • if you have or have had any heart problems.
  • if you have kidney problems. Your doctor may adjust your dose.
  • if you have a high white blood cell count.
  • if you have a low platelet count.
  • if you have a history of feeling faint or dizzy while standing or sitting, or if you have fainted after injections in the past.

Your doctor may perform blood tests periodicallyto monitor your blood cell count.

Mozobil is not recommended for stem cell mobilization if you have leukemia (a type of blood or bone marrow cancer).

Using Mozobil with other medicines

Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking, have recently taken, or might take any other medicines.

Pregnancy and breastfeeding

Do not use Mozobil if you are pregnant, as there is no data on the effects of Mozobil in pregnant women. It is important that you inform your doctor if you are pregnant, think you may be pregnant, or plan to become pregnant. The use of contraceptive methods is recommended if you are of childbearing age.

Do not breastfeed if you are using Mozobil, as it is not known whether Mozobil passes into breast milk.

Driving and using machines

Mozobil may cause dizziness and fatigue. Therefore, you should avoid driving if you feel dizzy, tired, or unwell.

Mozobil contains sodium

This medicine contains less than 1 mmol of sodium (23 mg) per dose, which is considered essentially "sodium-free".

3. How to use Mozobil

Your doctor or nurse will inject the medicine into you.

First, you will receive G-CSF and then Mozobil will be administered

Mobilization will begin by administering another medicine called G-CSF (granulocyte-colony stimulating factor) first. G-CSF will help Mozobil work properly in your body. If you want more information about G-CSF, ask your doctor and read the corresponding package leaflet.

How much Mozobil is administered?

The recommended dose in adults is 20 mg (fixed dose) or 0.24 mg/kg body weight/day.

The recommended dose in children from 1 to less than 18 years is 0.24 mg/kg body weight/day.

Your dose will depend on your body weight, which must be measured the week before you receive the first dose. If you have moderate or severe kidney problems, your doctor will reduce the dose.

How is Mozobil administered?

Mozobil is administered by subcutaneous injection (under the skin).

When is Mozobil administered for the first time?

You will receive the first dose between 6 and 11 hours before apheresis (collection of stem cells from your blood).

How long will Mozobil administration 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 may not be possible to collect enough stem cells, so the collection attempt will be interrupted.
