Successful blood and marrow transplantation (BMT) requires the infusion of a sufficient number of hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells (HSPCs), capable of both homing to the bone marrow and regenerating a full array of hematopoietic cell lineages with early and late repopulating ability in a timely fashion. Omidubicel is a stem/progenitor cell-based product composed of ex vivo expanded allogeneic cells from one entire unit of umbilical cord blood. Omidubicel utilizes the small molecule nicotinamide (NAM), as an epigenetic approach to inhibit differentiation and to increase the migration, bone marrow (BM) homing and engraftment efficiency of hematopoietic progenitor cells (HPC) expanded in ex vivo cultures. The overall study objectives are to provide access to omidubicel for transplantation in patients with hematological malignancies and to collect additional safety and efficacy data.

omidubicel | Experimental | Omidubicel is a cryopreserved stem/progenitor cell based product comprised of: Ex vivo expanded, umbilical cord blood-derived hematopoietic CD34+ progenitor cells (cultured fraction (CF)) the non-cultured cell fraction of the same Cord Blood Unit (CBU) (Non-cultured Fraction (NF)) consisting of mature myeloid and lymphoid cells. Both fractions, i.e. CF and NF, will be kept frozen until they are thawed and infused on the day of transplantation. |
