  • Autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) is part of the standard of care treatment paradigm for multiple myeloma and prolongs survival for patients with this cancer type.1 Historically, depending on induction regimens and mobilization strategies, approximately 50% to 75% of patients required more than one apheresis session to collect a target number of cells.2,3 Uncertainty in stem cell mobilization and the possible need for multiple apheresis sessions may result in psychological and logistical burden on patients, in addition to financial and operational inefficiencies for apheresis centers.
  • The data are expected to be published in Value in Health, Volume 27, Issue 6, S1 (June 2024.)
  • Presenter: Jeffrey R Skaar, PhD, Trinity Life Sciences, New York, NY and Jennifer L Lessor, MPH, BioLineRx USA, Inc., Waltham, MA
    The new economic model data to be presented at ISPOR 2024 builds on the evaluation of APHEXDA for CD34+ HSC mobilization in patients with multiple myeloma in apheresis center operations.
