Half-Matched stem cells give bone marrow a jump start for High-Risk patients
NCT ID NCT01881334
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This program offers extra stem cells from a half-matched family donor to patients who are getting a cord blood transplant for serious blood cancers or immune disorders. The goal is to help the bone marrow recover more quickly while the cord blood cells take over permanently. It is for patients who are at high risk of slow or failed engraftment.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * Have a consenting related haplo-identical (3/6, 4/6, or 5/6 if DRB1 mismatch) stem cell donor. * Have one or two available 4, 5, or 6/6 antigen matching unrelated UCB unit(s) that will deliver a total cell dose \>3.0 x 10e7 cells/kg. Patients who do not have a single UCB unit that will deliver the minimum required cell dose, two partially HLA-matched UCB units which together meet the minimum cell dose requirement, can be used for 1 transplant. These units must be HLA-matched minimally at 4 of 6 HLA-A and B (at intermediate resolution by molecular typing) and DRB1 (at high resolution by molecular typing) loci with the patient, and HLA-matched at 3 of 6 HLA- A, B, DRB1 loci with each other (using same resolution of HLA typing as indicated above). There is no limitation on maximum cell dose. * Have a high risk or refractory malignancy, or non-malignant disorder amenable to stem cell transplantation therapy. * Meet eligibility requirements for allogeneic transplant per institutional standard practices. * Have given written informed consent according to FDA guidelines (or consent of parent/legal guardian as applicable). * Be \<65 years of age at the time of study enrollment. Exclusion Criteria: * Have a consenting 8/8 or 10/10 allele matched, consenting, related or unrelated hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) donor. * Have a life expectancy of less than 3 months. * Have uncontrolled infections at time of cytoreduction.
