Patients with a cytopathologically confirmed diagnosis of: A. De novo Acute Myeloid Leukemia according to WHO classification in first complete remission (excluding acute promyelocytic leukemia) OR; B. Myelodysplasia refractory anemia with excess of blasts (RAEB) with IPSS ≥ 1.5 in first complete remission OR; C. Therapy related AML/RAEB in first complete remission OR; D. Biphenotypic leukemia in first complete remission OR; E. De novo B or T Lineage Acute Lymphatic Leukemia in first complete remission. 3. WHO performance score 0,1 or 2; 4. Patients should have an HLA-identical sibling donor; 5. Life expectancy >3 months; 6. Negative pregnancy test at study entry for women of childbearing potential; 7. Willing and able to use adequate contraception; 8. Written informed consent from patient.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| To determine the feasibility of plerixafor 320 μg/kg subcutaneously and of plerixafor 320 μg/kg intravenously to harvest a sufficient number of CD34+ peripheral blood stem cells/kg recipient body weight. Feasibilty is defined as a minimum of 2.0x106/kg CD34+ cells in one or two phereses in at least 90% of the donors. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Donors: 1. To determine the efficacy of plerixafor in both arms Efficacy will be determined as follows: the absolute number of CD34+ cells collected per liter processed blood volume; 2. To determine the time interval that is required to obtain 2.0 x 106 CD34+ cells/kg from start of mobilization procedure; 3. Pharmacokinetics: To determine the number of CD34+ cells in the peripheral blood at regular intervals after the administration of plerixafor; 4. To determine the number of CD34+ cells in the peripheral blood as well as in the apheresis product at regular intervals during the stem cell apheresis; 5. To determine the phenotype of plerixafor mobilized CD34+ cells including progenitor cells, dendritic cells and regulatory T-cells both in peripheral blood and collected stem cells; 6. To document adverse events grade 2-4 following mobilization by plerixafor. Patients: 1. To document engraftment 30, 60 and 90 days after transplantation with an allograft harvested after mobilization with plerixafor 320 μg/kg subcutaneously or intravenously; 2. To document hematopietic reconstitution i.e neutrophils and patelets; 3. To study chimerism in peripheral blood and T-cells 30, 60 and 90 days, and chimerism in bone marrow 90 days after transplantation with an allograft harvested after mobilization with plerixafor 320 μg/kg subcutaneously or intravenously; 4. To evaluate the incidence and grade of graft versus host disease (GVHD). | — |
