Patient and caregiver support

You’re not alone managing patient cases—or uncertainty

The pressure to select the right donor for your patient—and meet the timeline they need to give them the best chance for a good outcome—can’t be minimized. With updated guidelines and emerging research, you have more options than ever before.

Through your partnership with NMDP, you get support from a team with decades of institutional knowledge, an established infrastructure for registry searches and cell delivery, and a singular focus: helping every patient access the cell therapy they need when they need it. Because better outcomes aren't found. They're orchestrated.

See the partnership in practice

A team you know—and who knows you—by name

When you work with your NMDP partners, you get support, consultation and research-backed guidance from patient referral through post-transplant care.

Research that informs your work—and moves clinical practice forward

As transplant practice evolves, so does the evidence behind it. NMDP’s research through CIBMTR® (Center for International Blood and Marrow Transplant Research®) and patient outcomes data you report to CIBMTR are helping answer important clinical questions and build the evidence your team needs to make informed decisions for your patients. CIBMTR is a research collaboration between the Medical College of Wisconsin® and NMDP.

Expanding who can find a suitable donor

The NMDP Donor for All initiative is building evidence for the safe and effective use of mismatched unrelated donors (MMUDs)—helping transplant teams consider more donor options for more patients.

Knowing when to pivot to an alternative donor

Research published in the Journal of Clinical Oncology found that when transplant teams use a donor search prognosis strategy, there’s no difference in HCT outcomes for patients unlikely to find a MUD.

Broadening the donor pool safely with multiple mismatches

New ACCESS clinical trial data published in Blood Advances show one-year patient outcomes are similar to fully matched donors when using young, <7/8 MMUDs and PTCy.

These numbers aren’t just numbers

They represent proven partnerships, decades of collaborative research and the people behind it all: your colleagues, your patients and your NMDP team.

See what orchestrated support looks like in practice

Complex cases take coordination, clinical expertise and the right support at the right time. See how two transplant centers worked with their NMDP partners to overcome challenges and find a path forward.

 

CASE STUDY 1: UC SAN DIEGO HEALTH

How one center changed course with specialized guidance

Challenge

After multiple matched donors fell through for different reasons, UC San Diego (UCSD) Health turned to its NMDP CHS partner for a new path forward.

How NMDP helped

The CHS partner provided proactive donor outreach, a tailored search strategy and data and research to support consideration of an MMUD.

Outcome

The transplant team moved forward with confidence, using research-backed recommendations to identify an MMUD. Today, MMUDs are a regular part of UCSD's donor search strategy.


Our CHS partner pulled data, articles and other information, which made it so much more comfortable for our physicians to ultimately decide to select an MMUD. That evidence-based support changed our practice.

CASE STUDY 2: NICKLAUS CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL

Extending expertise without expanding staff

Challenge

A pediatric transplant center with a lean clinical team needed additional expertise and support to navigate complex patient cases.

How NMDP helped

Their dedicated NMDP partners began a weekly case review meeting with the Nicklaus team to provide support, consultation and research-backed guidance. An NMDP physician joins when needed.

Outcome

Through weekly collaboration and expert clinical consultation, the center has the support it needs to move complex cases forward with greater confidence and avoid delays in the patient’s journey to transplant.


Having the NMDP team in our weekly meetings reduces my stress enormously. I'm not making decisions alone.
