Double cord blood transplant: a new hope for adults with blood cancer?
NCT ID NCT06712108
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study is observing how well a double umbilical cord blood transplant works for 40 adults with blood cancers like leukemia or lymphoma. The transplant uses two units of cord blood from unrelated donors to help rebuild the patient's blood system. Researchers are tracking survival, engraftment, and side effects like graft-versus-host disease.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- double unit umbilical cord blood transplant
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could show that a double cord blood transplant is a safe and effective option for adults with blood cancers who lack a matched donor.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, observational study (40 people) that only looks at what happens in practice, not a controlled test. Risks include graft failure, infection, and graft-versus-host disease.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * Aged 19 and older * Patients scheduled for umbilical cord blood transplantation as a primary allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation for the treatment of the following hematologic diseases: Acute leukemia (myeloid/lymphoid/mixed lineage) / Myelodysplastic syndromes / Chronic leukemia (myeloid/lymphoid/monocytic) and myeloproliferative neoplasms / Malignant lymphomas, multiple myeloma / Other malignant hematologic malignancies / bone marrow failure diseases, including aplastic anemia \- If all contents of the consent form are understood and consented to in writing. Exclusion Criteria: * Patients with a history of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation or those undergoing transplantation for the treatment of engraftment failure (secondary allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation is an exclusion criterion; however, patients eligible for registration include those undergoing their first allogeneic stem cell transplantation following an autologous stem cell transplantation). * Patients with severe, uncontrolled infections or severe cardiopulmonary dysfunction, as judged by the investigator. * Patients with an ECOG Performance Status (PS) greater than 3 or those receiving mechanical ventilation in the intensive care unit. * Patients who do not consent to participate in the study or those deemed unsuitable for sincere participation by the attending physician.
