Safety and Efficacy of Unrelated Umbilical Cord Blood Microtransplantation in Patients With AML

A Clinical Study to Evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of Unrelated Umbilical Cord Blood Microtransplantation in Patients With Acute Myelocytic Leukemia

This study aimed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of unrelated umbilical cord blood microtransplantation in the treatment of AML patients by observing the factors related to the efficacy and adverse reactions.

Inclusion Criteria:

1. Patients diagnosed with AML through bone marrow morphology, histochemistry, immunophenotyping, pathological testing, etc. Besides, patients should meet the following conditions:

   Patients aged 60-80 who newly diagnosed AML with WHO criteria and have not received prior treatment for acute leukemia (hydroxyurea or pre-chemotherapy is allowed for patients with high leukocyte).

   Patients aged 14-60 who do not meet the indications for hematopoietic stem cell transplantation;

2. Gender and race are not limited;

3. Karnofsky score ≥ 60%, Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status ≤ 2;

4. Expected survival time ≥ 3 months;

5. The examination results meet the following requirements:

   ALT and AST ≤ 3 × Upper limit of normal value (ULN); Total bilirubin ≤ 3 × ULN; Creatinine ≤ 2 × ULN or creatinine clearance rate ≥ 40mL/min; The left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) measured by echocardiography or multigated acquisition (MUGA) scanning is within the normal range (>50%);

6. The recipient and selected donor should be 0-3/10 HLA-matched with same blood type;

7. Patients who voluntarily participate in this clinical study and have signed an informed consent.

Exclusion Criteria:

1. Patients who have suffered from malignant tumors;
2. Patients have suffered from hematopoietic failure after chemotherapy, and have undergone ineffective blood transfusion with unknown cause;
3. Patients who have undergone Class II or above surgery within 4 weeks prior to enrollment;
4. Suffering from life-threatening diseases other than AML;
5. Allergic to the drugs in the research;
6. Patient with severe cardiac insufficiency, including uncontrolled or symptomatic arrhythmia, congestive heart failure, myocardial infarction within 6 months, or any grade 3 (moderate) or grade 4 (severe) heart disease;
7. Patients with test positive for HIV, HCV or HBV;
8. Stroke or intracranial hemorrhage occurred within 6 months prior to enrollment;
9. Warfarin or vitamin K antagonists (such as phenprocoumarin) is necessary for anticoagulation;
10. Patients with mental illnesses or cognitive impairments;
11. Patients have participated within the month prior to enrollment or patients are currently participating in other clinical trials;
12. There are other conditions that the investigators consider inappropriate for inclusion.
