Laboratory Expanded Umbilical Cord Blood Product (Spanlecortemlocel) in Treating Patients with High-Risk Blood Cancers

Trial Status: closed to accrual

This phase II trial studies how the transplantation of laboratory expanded cord blood, called spanlecortemlocel, works in treating patients with high-risk blood cancers. Umbilical cord blood transplantation has been primarily used in patients with blood cancers. However, the blood counts are slower to recover after this type of transplantation, which can result in a longer hospital stays and a greater number of transfusions. To speed up blood count recovery, the number of blood forming stem cells can be multiplied more than 300 times on average in the laboratory prior to transfusion. Using spanlecortemlocel may speed up blood count recovery in patients with high-risk blood cancers.
