Feasibility and safety of autologous cord blood derived cell administration in extremely preterm infants: a single-centre, open-label, single-arm, phase I trial (CORD-SaFe study)
This phase-1 clinical trial has shown UCBC collection and reinfusion was feasible in approximately 70% of extremely preterm infants and was well tolerated without any serious adverse events.
