Efficacy and Safety of Sequential Infusion of Hypoxic 3D-Cultured Umbilical Cord Mesenchymal Stem Cells in Haploidentical Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation for Severe Aplastic Anemia: A Multicenter, Randomized, Phase 1 Trial
Read the detailed description
The enrolled patients with an HLA-haploidentical relative for HSCT received the fludarabine (Flu) + cyclophosphamide (Cy) + antithymocyte globulin (ATG) conditioning regimen. For the patients with acute SAA (SAA-I), intravenous administration of 30 mg/(m2 day) of Flu and 500-800 mg/(m2 day) of Cy was performed from days -5 to -2, and 5μg/(kg day) of ATG was administered from days -4 to -1. For the patients with chronic SAA (SAA-II), the same treatment of ATG and Cy was applied as above with the supplement of 0.6 mg/(kg 6 h) of busulfan (BU) from days -8 to -5 prior to transplantation. Donor selection and hematopoietic stem cell mobilization and collection were conducted based on the consensus of The Chinese Society of Hematology regarding indications, conditioning regimens, and donor selection for allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. On day 0, HSCs were infused intravenously. Both groups received 5 × 10⁵/kg UC-MSCs at 4 h before HSC infusion. The control group was transfused with conventional 2D-cultured UC-MSCs, whereas the experimental group received 3D hypoxia-preconditioned UC-MSCs. Standard GVHD prophylaxis consisted of mycophenolate mofetil, cyclosporine A, and methotrexate (MTX).

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 1/2 study testing 3D hypoxia-preconditioned UC-MSC group and 2D UC-MSC group in people with Severe Aplastic Anemia (SAA) and Severe Aplastic Anemia, Refractory, run by Chinese PLA General Hospital at 1 site in China.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: enrolling by invitation, as of the sponsor's last update on 23 Jun 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 1 site in China. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
What does this combined phase mean?
Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.
Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
Are results available for this study?
This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Adverse events (time frame: The incidence and severity of adverse events (AEs) within the first 150 days after haplo-HSCT). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 23 Jun 2026.
