ConclusionIn a real-world EAP setting, the outcomes of allo-HCT with omidubicel in patients with hematologic malignancies were consistent with those from the phase 3 registration study. These data support the role of omidubicel as a donor source, particularly for patients from diverse racial Background s.
Omidubicel has now been granted U.S. Food & Drug Administration approval to enhance neutrophil recovery and decrease infectious risk. This review will focus on CBT, benefits and barriers to using this alternative donor source, and finally the potential advancements with incorporation of omidubicel in the transplant setting for malignant and non-malignant diseases.
In April 2023, omidubicel received its first approval in the USA for use in adults and children aged ≥ 12 years with haematological malignancies who are planned for cord blood transplantation following myeloablative conditioning to reduce the incidence of infection and the time to neutrophil recovery. This article summarizes the milestones in the development of omidubicel leading to this first approval.
