10-CBA: A Multicenter Access and Distribution Protocol for Unlicensed Cryopreserved Cord Blood Units (CBUs) for Transplantation in Pediatric and Adult Patients with Hematologic Malignancies and Other Indications
Study goal:
The primary objective of this study is to examine the incidence of neutrophil recovery after cord transplantation.
In participants receiving a non-licensed CBU: 1) to determine the frequency of graft rejection; 2) to determine the frequency of infection; 3) to determine the frequency of serious infusion reactio; 4) to determine the 1 year survival rate.
