BACKGROUND Administering lower total product volumes with high nucleated cell (NC) concentrations may have the potential benefit of decreasing volume‐ and dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO)‐related patient complications, while maximizing the laboratoryʼs freezer storage capacity. Our study is a retrospective investigation of the effect of HPC(A) products with cell concentrations greater than 3 × 108 NC/mL on clinical and product outcomes in patients undergoing autologous peripheral blood stem cell (PBSC) transplantation. STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS A total of 113 consecutive patients with hematological malignancies who underwent autologous PBSC transplantation were included in this retrospective analysis. The primary outcomes were days to initial absolute neutrophil count (ANC) recovery and initial platelet recovery. The secondary outcomes included the storage duration, segment thaw viability, and dose of viable CD34+ cells/kg administered. RESULTS Of 92 patients and 176 apheresis procedures, 81 patients received HPC(A) products with high NC concentration (4.1 × 108 NC/mL), and 11 patients received low NC concentration products (2.4 × 108 NC/mL). There were no observed differences in clinical outcomes with respect to ANC recovery (14 vs. 14 vs. 12 days) and platelet recovery (16 vs. 16 vs. 15 days) when very high NC (5.2 × 108 NC/mL) and high NC (4.1 × 108 NC/mL) groups were compared to the low NC group (2.4 × 108 NC/mL). CONCLUSION Our retrospective investigation provides further supporting evidence that HPC(A) products with cell concentration greater than 3 × 108 NC/mL did not show detrimental effects on the clinical outcomes in patients undergoing autologous PBSC transplantation.
