Ducord (HPC, Cord Blood)

Ducord (HPC, Cord Blood) is a type of therapy that uses hematopoietic progenitor cells derived from cord blood for transplantation. This allogeneic treatment involves using cord blood cells from an unrelated donor and is combined with a suitable preparative regimen to help rebuild the patient’s blood and immune systems. Ducord is used in patients who have conditions affecting their hematopoietic system, whether these conditions are inherited, acquired, or the result of myeloablative treatment.

Recommended Dosage: The minimum recommended dose of Ducord (HPC, Cord Blood) is 2.5 x 10^7 nucleated cells per kilogram of body weight at the time of cryopreservation. It may be necessary to use multiple units to reach the appropriate dose. It is advised to match at least 4 out of 6 HLA markers, including HLA-A antigens, HLA-B antigens, and HLA-DRB1 alleles. The HLA typing and nucleated cell count for each unit of Ducord (HPC, Cord Blood) are provided on the container label or in the accompanying documentation.

• Ducord may cause allergic reactions, including anaphylaxis. Patients with known hypersensitivity to any component of cord blood should not receive this product. Monitor for symptoms such as rash, itching, swelling, or difficulty breathing, and treat immediately if they occur.
• Infusion reactions, including fever, chills, nausea, vomiting, and headaches, may occur during or shortly after the administration of Ducord. Pre-medicate with antipyretics and antihistamines as needed and monitor closely during infusion.
• Ducord (Hematopoietic Progenitor Cell, Cord Blood)contains immune cells that may attack the recipient’s tissues, leading to graft-versus-host disease (GVHD). Monitor for signs such as rash, diarrhea, or liver dysfunction, and initiate treatment promptly if suspected.
• A condition named Engraftment Syndrome may occur post-transplant, presenting with fever, rash, and pulmonary symptoms. Early recognition and management with corticosteroids may be necessary.
• There is a risk of graft failure, where the transplanted cells do not function properly. Monitor blood counts and chimerism, and consider additional treatments if engraftment is inadequate.
• Ducord is screened for infectious agents, but the risk of disease transmission cannot be entirely ruled out. Monitor for signs of infection and follow up with appropriate testing.
• Although rare, there is a potential risk of transmitting genetic diseases present in the donor cord blood. Genetic counseling and testing may be considered.
• The safety of Ducord in pregnant or breastfeeding women has not been established. Use only if the potential benefits outweigh the risks. Consult healthcare providers for guidance.
