Study Details

Brief summary:

For the next 5-10 years or possibly longer, a high proportion of the Cord Blood Banks (CBB) inventory worldwide will be composed of unlicensed umbilical cord blood (UCB) units. While Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-licensed units will be prioritized, it will always be possible that an unlicensed unit will have known attributes, making it a better source of cells for the given indication. Because of the wide variety of current and potential indications as a source of cells for hematopoietic reconstitution or other form of cellular therapy, it is critical that the investigators have access to unlicensed UCB units.

Eligibility Criteria

Sex: All

Age: 0+

Healthy Volunteers: Not accepted

Inclusion Criteria:

To be eligible for an unlicensed umbilical cord blood (UCB) unit, the subject must meet each of the eligibility criteria listed below:

  • Subjects with any diagnosis for which there is an institutional review board (IRB) approved treatment protocol that requires UCB as a source of hematopoietic stem cells for lympho-hematopoietic reconstitution after myeloablative or non myeloablative conditioning.
  • Subject (or parent/guardian) must provide written informed consent for the use of unlicensed UCB units with co-enrollment onto a University of Minnesota IRB-approved clinical trial that details the disease specific treatment plan that prescribes the use of UCB as source of cells
  • Subject has an unlicensed UCB unit that meets required cell dose and HLA matching criteria (as defined in the primary treatment protocol) that is considered negative for tested blood-borne pathogens and also lack an 'equivalent', licensed UCB unit from a University of Minnesota approved Cord Blood Bank

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Exclusion criteria are specified in the treatment protocol according to indication.

Interventions and Outcome Measures

Arms

experimental: Unlicensed Umbilical Cord Blood Infusion

All patients will be registered in OnCore under this protocol as well as the specific treatment protocol.

  • Pre-infusion treatment using intravenous hydration, acetaminophen and diphenhydramine hydrochloride
  • Unlicensed Umbilical Cord Blood Infusion according to institutional guidelines.

  • Infusion of minimally manipulated unlicensed UCB units:
  • vital signs Monitoring during and after UCB infusion:
  • Management of infusion reactions
  • Post-transplant care and follow-up: will be done according to the disease specific treatment protocol and institutional guidelines.

Interventions

Umbilical Cord Blood (UCB)

Infusion of Minimally Manipulated UCB Units - the UCB unit will be infused through a central line according to institutional guidelines.

Primary outcome measure

  • Incidence of Blood Borne Pathogen Transmission from Unlicensed UCB Units. [ Time Frame: Within 24 Hours Post Infusion ]
