Study Summary

This trial will see if transplanting blood from the umbilical cord or placenta can help treat cancer or aplastic anemia.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for patients with various blood-related cancers or aplastic anemia who are eligible for a bone marrow transplant but don't have a matching donor. They should be under the equivalent of 60 years old, not pregnant or nursing, free from serious infections, HIV negative, and without severe liver disease or psychiatric conditions that could affect participation.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study is testing if umbilical cord blood and placental blood transplants can replace immune cells destroyed by cancer treatments like chemo or radiation in patients with hematologic cancers or aplastic anemia. It's a Phase II trial to determine the effectiveness of this approach.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include reactions to the transplant such as graft-versus-host disease (where transplanted cells attack your body), infection risks due to weakened immunity post-transplant, and complications related to chemotherapy or radiation previously received.
