StemEx®, umbilical cord blood stem/progenitor cells for hematological diseases

StemEx® is a graft of stem/progenitor cells isolated and expanded from a portion of a single unit of umbilical cord blood and transplanted in combination with non-expanded cells from the same unit. The expanded portion of umbilical stem cells is expanded using Gamida Cell’s proprietary copper chelator technology. StemEx® is used for treating hematological diseases in patients who do not have a matched family-related bone marrow donor. In the clinical trial, the expanded cells were well tolerated, with no infusion-related adverse events observed.
