Efficacy and Safety Study of StemEx®, to Treat Subjects With High Risk Hematologic Malignancies, Following Myeloablative Therapy

Official Title:

A Multi-Center, Multi-National, Historical Cohort Controlled Study to Evaluate Efficacy and Safety of Transplantation of StemEx®, Umbilical Cord Blood Stem and Progenitor Cells Expanded Ex Vivo, in Subjects With Hematologic Malignancies Following Myeloablative Therapy

Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine the efficacy and safety of transplanting StemEx® in patients with certain hematological malignancies. For these patients, it is suggested that StemEx® can improve upon the outcome of transplanting a single, unmanipulated cord blood unit by significantly increasing the number of stem/progenitor cells available to the patient.

Eligibility

Inclusion Criteria:

1. Clinical diagnosis of AML or ALL: CR2 or subsequent complete remission (CR) or CR1 with high-risk features or relapse with < 10% blasts in BM and no circulating blasts.
2. Clinical diagnosis of CML: in CP1 (Chronic Phase 1) and resistant or intolerant to Gleevec or in CP2 or subsequent CP or in accelerated phase.
3. Clinical diagnosis of HD: induction failure or relapse and sensitive to last chemotherapy course.
4. Clinical diagnosis of NHL induction failure or relapse and sensitive to last chemotherapy course.
5. Clinical diagnosis of MDS with intermediate 2- or high-risk IPSS score.

Exclusion Criteria:

1. Less than twenty-one days have elapsed since the subject's last radiation or chemotherapy prior to conditioning (except Hydroxyurea).
2. HIV positive.
3. Pregnancy or lactation.
4. Uncontrolled bacterial, fungal or viral infection.
5. Subjects with signs and symptoms of active central nervous system (CNS) disease.
6. Availability of appropriate related and willing stem cell donor, who is HLA-matched at 5 or 6/6 antigens.
7. Prior allogeneic cell transplant.
8. Allergy to bovine or to any product, which may interfere with the treatment.
