Brief Summary

The purpose of the study is to explore the safety and efficacy of UCMSC-Exo in consolidation chemotherapy-induced myelosuppression in patients with acute myeloid leukemia after achieving complete remission.

Detailed Description

Despite the improved prognosis of patients with acute myeloid leukemia, almost all patients will experience severe myelosuppression induced by chemotherapy, leading to a series of complications such as infection due to neutropenia, bleeding due to thrombocytopenia and/or impaired major organ function such as cardiac function due to anemia, which are the main reasons for dose reduction, dose interruptions of chemotherapy and also treatment-related death. It is of significant clinical importance and an urgent need to promote early recovery of myelosuppression and reduce risks of related complications as well as medical burdens. Umbilical cord derived mesenchymal stem cells exosomes (UCMSC-Exo), as the key effector of the stem cells with multipotential, can widely act on the functional cell units of bone marrow microenvironment and promote the repairment and regeneration of key cells such as hematopoietic stem cells, mesenchymal stem cells and endothelial cells, thus making it an ideal means for effectively promoting recovery of myelosuppression. Patients with acute myeloid leukemia who have achieved complete remission (CR) and are going to receive consolidation chemotherapy will be invited to participate in the study, to receive UCMSC-Exo intravenous infusion and follow-up visits of up to 1 years after enrollment.
