5.2 AUTOLOGOUS PBSCS HARVESTING

5.2.1. PBSCs will be collected during recovery phase after the second cycle of HDAC consolidation chemotherapy.

5.2.2. For mobilization, recombinant human granulocyte- colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF, Filgrastim) will be given subcutaneously at a dose of 10 mcg/kg from day 9 of the 2nd HDAC cycle until the completion of harvesting.
