About this study

Official title: Study of the Efficacy and Safety of MegaLT Injection for Promoting Platelet Recovery After Umbilical Cord Blood Transplantation

This is a single-arm, early safety and feasibility exploratory study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of MegaLT Injection in promoting platelet recovery after umbilical cord blood transplantation. Adults with malignant hematologic diseases who undergo umbilical cord blood transplantation will receive a single intravenous infusion of MegaLT Injection on day 14 after transplantation. Two dose levels will be evaluated sequentially, and platelet recovery, platelet transfusion requirements, and safety outcomes will be assessed.

Read the detailed description

This study is designed as a single-arm, early safety and feasibility exploratory study of MegaLT Injection in patients undergoing umbilical cord blood transplantation. Eligible participants will receive MegaLT Injection by intravenous infusion on day 14 after transplantation. The study includes two sequential dose levels: 1×10^6/kg and 2.5×10^6/kg. Three participants are planned for each dose level, with a total planned enrollment of 7 participants after accounting for an approximately 10% dropout rate. The study will evaluate platelet engraftment, platelet recovery, platelet transfusion requirements, hematopoietic recovery, and safety outcomes including adverse events, bleeding events, thromboembolic events, graft-versus-host disease, and transplant-related mortality.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • MegaLT InjectionBiological

    MegaLT Injection is prepared from eligible umbilical cord blood cells through directed expansion and quality control to obtain a megakaryocyte cell product. Participants will receive MegaLT Injection by intravenous infusion on day 14 after umbilical cord blood transplantation. The assigned dose will be 1×10^6/kg or 2.5×10^6/kg, with sequential dose escalation from the low-dose level to the high-dose level. Each participant will receive one assigned cell dose; multiple infusions may be considered if necessary according to the protocol.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Time to Platelet Engraftment

    Platelet engraftment is defined as the first day of 7 consecutive days with platelet count ≥20×10^9/L without platelet transfusion.

    Measured: From umbilical cord blood transplantation until documented platelet engraftment or the participant's last platelet assessment, assessed up to 6 months following MegaLT infusion.

  2. Platelet Engraftment by Day 28

    Cumulative incidence of platelet engraftment by day 28 after transplantation, defined as 7 consecutive days with platelet count ≥20×10^9/L without platelet transfusion.

    Measured: At day 28 after umbilical cord blood transplantation

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Platelet Recovery by Day 28

    Cumulative rate of platelet recovery by day 28 after transplantation, defined as platelet count ≥50×10^9/L for 7 consecutive days without platelet transfusion.

    Measured: At day 28 after umbilical cord blood transplantation

  2. Time to Platelet Count Thresholds

    Median time to achieve platelet counts of ≥20×10^9/L, ≥50×10^9/L, and ≥100×10^9/L without platelet transfusion.

    Measured: From umbilical cord blood transplantation until documented platelet count recovery at each threshold or the participant's last platelet assessment, assessed up to 6 months following MegaLT infusion.

  3. Platelet Transfusion Volume

    Total amount of platelet transfusion received by participants within 4 weeks after MegaLT Injection.

    Measured: From MegaLT Injection to 4 weeks after injection

  4. Neutrophil Engraftment by Day 28

    Cumulative incidence of neutrophil engraftment by day 28 after transplantation, defined as an absolute neutrophil count ≥0.5×10^9/L for 3 consecutive days.

    Measured: At day 28 after umbilical cord blood transplantation

  5. Megakaryocyte Level in Bone Marrow

    Megakaryocyte level assessed by bone marrow smear 4 weeks after MegaLT Injection.

    Measured: At 4 weeks after MegaLT Injection

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Early Phase 1 study testing MegaLT Injection in people with Thrombocytopenia and Hematologic Malignacies, run by Anhui Provincial Hospital.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 5 inclusion and 9 exclusion criteria. 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: opening soon, as of the sponsor's last update on 10 Jul 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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 phase mean?

Early Phase 1 (sometimes called Phase 0) studies give a very small amount of a treatment to a few people, mainly to see how the body handles it.

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?

Contact Xiaoyu Zhu, MD, PhD (+86-551-62282931, xiaoyuz@ustc.edu.cn), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Time to Platelet Engraftment (time frame: From umbilical cord blood transplantation until documented platelet engraftment or the participant's last platelet assessment, assessed up to 6 months following MegaLT infusion.). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 10 Jul 2026.
