Storing umbilical cord blood for future transplantation
Part of Blood & lymphatic clinical trials.
This study collects and stores umbilical cord blood at birth so it can be used later for transplant. It also involves blood and cord blood testing to check for infections and key matching features.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are pregnant and age 18 or older
- You can understand and agree verbally before the cord blood is collected
- You can sign a written consent form before the cord blood is collected
- You are willing to share your and the baby’s biological father’s medical history, if available
- You agree to infection screening of your blood and the cord blood (some results may mean it can’t be used for transplant)
- You agree to testing of the cord blood for tissue matching and other newborn screening results

This trial tests a cord blood transplant using strong (myeloablative) chemotherapy to prepare your body, plus post-transplant treatment to reduce graft-versus-host disease (GVHD). It may help certain blood cancers when other transplant options are limited.
This study is developing a better way to collect stem cells from donated umbilical cord blood. If you are a healthy pregnant woman, donating your baby's cord blood could help improve treatments for diseases.
This study tests whether using cord blood stem cells (collected from umbilical cords after birth) can help treat high-risk blood cancers in children and young adults when a matched donor is not quickly available. Cord blood transplants may help prevent cancer from coming back.
This study tests giving you donated umbilical cord blood through an IV to help your body rebuild blood-forming cells after chemotherapy. It may help people who need a stem-cell “reset” using a specific type of cord blood unit that meets strict matching and safety rules.
This trial studies transplanting healthy blood-forming cells from an umbilical cord blood donor who is not related to you. It may help people with certain blood cancers, immune disorders, or other serious diseases when a standard transplant plan is needed.
This study follows people who have stored umbilical cord blood at the Tianjin Cord Blood Bank. It collects health information to learn more about cord blood storage and its future use.
