A Multicenter, Randomized, Phase III Registration Trial of Transplantation of NiCord®, Ex Vivo Expanded, UCB-derived, Stem and Progenitor Cells, vs. Unmanipulated UCB for Patients With Hematological Malignancies

This study is an open-label, controlled, multicenter, international, Phase III, randomized
study of transplantation of NiCord® versus transplantation of one or two unmanipulated,
unrelated cord blood units in patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia or acute myeloid
leukemia, myelodysplastic syndrome, chronic myeloid leukemia or lymphoma, all with required
disease features rendering them eligible for allogeneic transplantation.

Successful blood and marrow transplantation (BMT) requires the infusion of a sufficient
number of hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells (HSPCs), capable of both homing to the bone
marrow and regenerating a full array of hematopoietic cell lineages with early and late
repopulating ability in a timely fashion.

A major drawback of Umbilical Cord Blood (UCB) is the low stem cell dose available for
transplantation, compared to mobilized peripheral blood (PB) or bone marrow. This low stem
cell dose can compromise the chances of engraftment and contributes to delayed kinetics of
neutrophil and platelet recovery, as well as other transplant outcomes.

The aim of ex vivo expansion of cord blood is to provide a graft with sufficient numbers of
cells that have rapid and robust in vivo neutrophil and platelet producing potential to
enable successful transplantation.

NiCord® is a stem/progenitor cell-based product composed of ex vivo expanded allogeneic cells
from one entire unit of UCB. NiCord® utilizes the small molecule nicotinamide (NAM), as an
epigenetic approach to inhibit differentiation and to increase the migration, bone marrow
(BM) homing and engraftment efficiency of Hematopoietic Progenitor Cells (HPC) expanded in ex
vivo cultures. The chief aim of the study is to compare the safety and efficacy of NiCord®
single ex-vivo expanded cord blood unit transplantation to unmanipulated cord blood unit
transplantation in patients with hematological malignancies following conditioning therapy.
