Timing is everything: new trial aims to reduce transplant complications by adjusting when stem cells are given
NCT ID NCT07047456
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This phase 3 trial is testing whether changing the timing of stem cell infusion after a single umbilical cord blood transplant can lower the risk of severe acute graft-versus-host disease (aGVHD) in people with blood cancers. The study will enroll 134 participants who are in remission and receiving their first cord blood transplant. Researchers will compare different infusion times to see which leads to fewer severe aGVHD cases in the first 100 days.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- umbilical cord blood stem cells
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could establish a simple timing strategy to lower the risk of severe graft-versus-host disease after cord blood transplants.
- What could go wrong
- This is a single-center trial with 134 participants, so results may not apply broadly. The intervention is a procedural change, not a new drug, so the impact may be modest.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * Definite diagnosis of malignant hematologic disease before transplantation, age, gender and race are not limited; * Participants were required to have achieved complete remission with negative minimal residual disease (MRD) prior to transplantation; * Participants who are proposed to receive sUCBT for the first time; * Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) score 0-2; * No serious organ failure and active infection; * Voluntary open randomized controlled study to observe whether the time of stem cell infusion affects the occurrence of aGVHD after transplantation; * Each subject must sign an informed consent form (ICF) indicating that he/ she understands the purpose and procedures of the study and is willing to participate in the study; in view of the subject's condition, if the participant's own signature is not conducive to the treatment of his/her condition, the ICF will be signed by the legal representative. Exclusion Criteria: * Those with severe organ dysfunction or disease, such as severe disease and dysfunction of the heart, liver, kidneys and pancreas; * Any life-threatening disease, physical condition, or organ system dysfunction that, in the opinion of the investigator, may compromise participant safety and put the results of the study at unnecessary risk; drug-dependent individuals; participants with uncontrolled psychiatric disorders; and individuals with cognitive dysfunction; * Participants in other clinical studies that may affect aGVHD within 3 months; * Those whom the investigator considers unsuitable for enrollment (e.g., those who anticipate that patients will not be able to adhere to the examination and treatment due to financial and other issues).
