Measure
A. GCSF + Placebo
GCSF + Placebo Patients in this group will receive GCSF 10 ug/kg s.c. daily, beginning 4 days prior to the 1st apheresis \[days -4, -3, -2, -1\] and continued on daily GCSF for a total of 4 apheresis or until ≥ 5 x 10\^6 CD34+ cells/kg are collected. They will also receive oral placebo for 5 days on days -6 through -2. Patients will undergo apheresis for 300 minutes to achieve approximately 3 to 4 whole blood volumes processed. This is a standard institutional protocol for autologous HSPC collection at the MGH. GCSF Placebo
B. GCSF + Meloxicam
B. GCSF + meloxicam: Patients in this group will be treated with meloxicam and GCSF in an approximate two-day staggered dose schedule as described in our preclinical studies. Meloxicam will be given orally at a dose of 15 mg/day for 5 days (days -6 through -2). GCSF at 10 ug/kg/day subcutaneously will be started on day -4 and continued daily for a total of 4 apheresis or until ≥ 5 x 10\^6 CD34+ cells/kg are collected. GCSF meloxicam
