Official title: Clinical Study on Umbilical Cord Blood-Supported Haploidentical Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation for the Treatment of Aplastic Anemia
Run by Shanxi Bethune Hospital · NCT06650553 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This study is testing if using umbilical cord blood can improve stem cell transplants for people with aplastic anemia compared to traditional donor matches.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are patients aged 14-70 diagnosed with severe aplastic anemia or transfusion-dependent non-severe aplastic anemia who are suitable for allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with significant vital sign abnormalities or other conditions deemed unsuitable for the trial by investigators may not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies
This study evaluates the safety and feasibility of using umbilical cord blood in haploidentical hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (haplo-HSCT) for patients with aplastic anemia. Participants will be divided into two groups: one receiving traditional HLA-matched HSCT and the other receiving the umbilical cord blood-supported haplo-HSCT. The goal is to compare outcomes, particularly hematopoietic recovery and overall prognosis, between the two approaches. Aplastic anemia is a serious condition, and this innovative method aims to improve treatment options for patients who struggle to find matched donors.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could provide a more accessible and effective treatment option for patients with aplastic anemia.
How similar studies have gone: While haploidentical HSCT has shown promise in other studies, the specific combination with umbilical cord blood is a novel approach that has not been extensively tested.
