Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

To observe the effect of stem cell infusion on the development of acute graft- versus-host disease (aGVHD) in patients with malignant hematologic diseases after single-unit unrelated cord blood transplantation (sUCBT).

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Acute graft-versus-host disease (aGVHD) is a major complication and cause of non-relapse mortality following allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT). The human circadian clock utilizes recurring environmental cues such as light exposure and food intake to establish 24-hour rhythmic variations in sleep, hormone secretion, metabolism, body temperature, and immune function. Current clinical strategies for aGVHD prevention primarily focus on pharmacological or immunomodulatory suppression of donor lymphocyte activity, often overlooking the impact of recipient physiological fluctuations on graft outcomes. Our preliminary studies revealed that the timing of stem cell infusion significantly influences the incidence and severity of aGVHD after sUCBT. Given the lack of prospective clinical trial data internationally regarding the effect of infusion timing on aGVHD development post-allo-HSCT, coupled with potential confounding factors in existing retrospective studies and pilot experiments, this study proposes to randomize patients based on umbilical cord blood infusion timing. The investigation will evaluate how infusion time affects aGVHD incidence, other transplantation-related complications, and long-term survival rates in hematologic malignancy patients undergoing sUCBT.

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

* Definite diagnosis of malignant hematologic disease before transplantation, age, gender and race are not limited;
* Participants were required to have achieved complete remission with negative minimal residual disease (MRD) prior to transplantation;
* Participants who are proposed to receive sUCBT for the first time;
* Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) score 0-2;
* No serious organ failure and active infection;
* Voluntary open randomized controlled study to observe whether the time of stem cell infusion affects the occurrence of aGVHD after transplantation;
* Each subject must sign an informed consent form (ICF) indicating that he/ she understands the purpose and procedures of the study and is willing to participate in the study; in view of the subject's condition, if the participant's own signature is not conducive to the treatment of his/her condition, the ICF will be signed by the legal representative.

Exclusion Criteria

* Those with severe organ dysfunction or disease, such as severe disease and dysfunction of the heart, liver, kidneys and pancreas;
* Any life-threatening disease, physical condition, or organ system dysfunction that, in the opinion of the investigator, may compromise participant safety and put the results of the study at unnecessary risk; drug-dependent individuals; participants with uncontrolled psychiatric disorders; and individuals with cognitive dysfunction;
* Participants in other clinical studies that may affect aGVHD within 3 months;
* Those whom the investigator considers unsuitable for enrollment (e.g., those who anticipate that patients will not be able to adhere to the examination and treatment due to financial and other issues).
