Overview

This study is an access and distribution protocol for unlicensed cryopreserved cord blood units (CBUs) in pediatric and adult patients with hematologic malignancies and otherdications.

Description

Principal Investigators:
The principal investigators (PIs) will be transplant physicians at all participating U.S..
Study Design:
This study is an access and distribution protocol for unlicensed cryopreserved cord blood units (CBUs) in pediatric and adult patients with hematologic malignancies and otherdications.
Primary Objective:
The primary objective of this study is to examine the incidence of neutrophil recovery of ≥500/mm3 after cord blood transplantation in a multi-institution setting using CBUs that areFood and Drug Administration (FDA) licensed.
Secondary Objectives:
In patients receiving a non-licensed CBU:
  • Assess incidence of transmission of infection
  • Assess incidence of serious infusion reaction
  • Determine 1 year overall survival after cord blood transplantation
  • Assess cumulative incidence of acute graft vs. host disease (GVHD) grades II to IV and grades III to IV
  • Assess cumulative incidence of chronic GVHD
  • Determine platelet engraftment of >20,000 mcL and >50,000 mcL
