Successful blood and marrow transplantation (BMT) requires the infusion of a sufficient number of hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells (HSPCs), capable of both homing to the bone marrow and regenerating a full array of hematopoietic cell lineages with early and late repopulating ability in a timely fashion.
Omidubicel is a stem/progenitor cell-based product composed of ex vivo expanded allogeneic cells from one entire unit of umbilical cord blood. Omidubicel utilizes the small molecule nicotinamide (NAM), as an epigenetic approach to inhibit differentiation and to increase the migration, bone marrow (BM) homing and engraftment efficiency of hematopoietic progenitor cells (HPC) expanded in ex vivo cultures.
The overall study objectives are to provide access to omidubicel for transplantation in patients with hematological malignancies and to collect additional safety and efficacy data.
