A Randomized Phase II Study Evaluating the Efficacy of Hyperbaric Oxygen in Improving Engraftment in Umbilical Cord Blood Stem Cell Transplantation
The UCB transplant is a type of stem cell transplant used to treat cancer of the blood or lymph glands. The UCB transplant has advantages over other types of transplants such as ease of obtaining the umbilical cord blood, absence of donor risks, reduced risks of contagious infections, and the availability for immediate use. The UCB transplant is also associated with a lower incidence of graft versus host disease, or GvHD (in GvHD, the transplanted graft attacks the recipient organs).

An Open-label, Multicenter, Randomized, Phase 3 Trial to Assess the Efficacy and Safety of Coinfusion With Unrelated Cord Blood Unit for Patients With Acute Myeloid Leukemia Undergoing Haploidentical Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation
Patients who have acute myeloid leukemia and will undergo haplo-identical donor hematopoeitic cell transplantation (haplo HCT) are potential candidates of this trial. Participants will randomized into two arms: Arm A will undergo a typical haplo HCT, while Arm B will receive an coinfusion of an unrelated cord blood unit (haplo-cord HCT) in addition to Arm A. Progression-free survival, overall survival, cumulative incidence of relapse and nonrelapse mortality will be recorded as endpoints.

A Pilot Study to Evaluate the Utility of Placental/Umbilical Cord Blood (PUCB) in Early Onset Neonatal Sepsis (EONS) in Very Low Birth Weight Infants
This study evaluates the utility of placental/umbilical cord blood (PUCB) to perform the baseline workup testing for EONS in Very Low Birth Weight Infants: CBC (Complete Blood Count) with differential, Immature/Total ratio (I/T ratio), and blood culture along with CRP and IL-6 levels. A cohort (63 subjects) of preterm infants will be recruited. All the participants will be evaluated for sepsis using placental/umbilical cord blood (PUCB) and subject blood sample during the first 12 hours of life (after birth).

Cord Blood Serum in the Treatment of Neuro-Degenerative Ophthalmic Diseases. 1-Glaucoma
A non-randomized, monocentric clinical study with a four month follow-up period , using a cord blood serum (CBS) eye drops in glaucoma patients. The purpose of the study analyzes whether the addition of CBS to hypotonic therapy is able to slow down the progression of anatomical and functional damage induced by glaucoma. The study evaluates the differences after two months of treatment as compared to baseline and after two-month from the end of the treatment.

Immunotherapy With Ex Vivo-Expanded Cord Blood-Derived CAR-NK Cells Combined With High-Dose Chemotherapy and Autologous Stem Cell Transplantation for B-Cell Lymphoma
This phase I/II trial studies the side effects and best dose of chimeric antigen receptor (CAR).CD19-CD28-zeta-2A-iCasp9-IL15-transduced cord blood NK cells when given together with high-dose chemotherapy and stem cell transplant and to see how well they work in treating participants with B-cell lymphoma. Cord blood-derived CAR-NK cells may react against the B-cell lymphoma cells in the body, which may help to control the disease. Giving chemotherapy before a stem cell transplant may help kill any cancer cells that are in the body and helps make room in the patient's bone marrow for new blood-forming cells (stem cells) to grow. The stem cells are then returned to the patient to replace the blood-forming cells that were destroyed by the chemotherapy.

Umbilical Cord Blood Mononuclear Cell Bank in Hong Kong and Treatment of Neonatal Cerebral Ischemia and Anemia - Part IV Clinical Trial
The study is to investigate the feasibility and safety of autologous umbilical cord blood transfusion to treat the newborn infants with presence of clinical indications of neonatal hypoxic-ischemia encephalopathy (HIE) and anemia. Umbilical cord blood (UCB) is collected following labor and is transfused intravenously within 48 hours after the birth. Newborn infant without UCB available recieves the standard care will be enrolled as control group. Following the autologous UCB transfusion in the study group or standard care in the control group, HIE subjects will be followed for 2 years for survival and neurodevelopmental outcomes and anemia subjects will be followed for 6 months to assess the survival and change of hematocrit and hemoglobin levels.

Epigenetic Alteration of Rho Guanine Nucleotide Exchange Factor 11 (ARHGEF11) in Cord Blood Samples in Macrosomia Exposed to Intrauterine Hyperglycaemia
Background Macrosomia at birth is associated with subsequent susceptibility to obesity, abnormal glucose metabolism, hypertension and dyslipidaemia. Epigenetic reprogramming has been reported to be involved in the development of human diseases caused by suboptimal environmental or nutritional factors. Objective The study was aiming to explore epigenetic mechanism influences on macrosomic infants exposed to intrauterine hyperglycemia. Design The investigators performed a genome-wide analysis of DNA methylation in cord blood from macrosomic infants born to women with gestational diabetes or infants with normal birth weight born to normal glucose-tolerant women in order to identify genes related to foetal growth or early adipose tissue development. The candidate genes were then validated using SEQUENOM MassARRAY after bisulfite conversion.

Immunotherapy With Ex Vivo-Expanded Cord Blood-Derived NK Cells Combined With Rituximab High-Dose Chemotherapy and Autologous Stem Cell Transplant for B-Cell Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma
This phase II trial studies the side effects of cord blood-derived expanded allogeneic natural killer cells (umbilical cord blood natural killer [NK] cells), rituximab, high-dose chemotherapy, and stem cell transplant in treating patients with B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma that has come back (recurrent) or that does not respond to treatment (refractory). Immune system cells, such as cord blood-derived expanded allogeneic natural killer cells, are made by the body to attack foreign or cancerous cells. Immunotherapy with rituximab, may induce changes in body's immune system and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as carmustine, cytarabine, etoposide, lenalidomide, melphalan, and rituximab, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. A stem cell transplant using stem cells from the patient or a donor may be able to replace blood-forming cells that were destroyed by chemotherapy used to kill cancer cells. The donated stem cells may also replace the patient's immune cells and help destroy any remaining cancer cells. Giving cord blood-derived expanded allogeneic natural killer cells, rituximab, high-dose chemotherapy, and stem cell transplant may work better in treating patients with recurrent or refractory B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.
