Lanzhou, GansuAges 18–75 - NCT06716281RecruitingPhase 3
Stem cell injection for knee osteoarthritis
This study tests a new stem cell treatment for knee osteoarthritis. It aims to see if injecting these cells into the knee can reduce pain and improve function compared to other treatments.
ShanghaiAges 40–80 - NCT07568184Recruiting
New Exosome Treatment for Sudden Hearing Loss
This trial tests a new way to deliver anti-inflammatory medicine directly into the ear using tiny particle carriers called exosomes. It's designed for people who lost hearing suddenly without a clear cause and didn't improve with standard steroid pills.
Kafr ash Shaykh, EgyptAges 18–65 - NCT07546942Enrolling by invitationPhase 1/Phase 2
Autism Treatment Using Stem Cells, Gut Microbiome, and Diet
This study tests whether a combination of stem cell therapy, gut microbiome restoration (using specially prepared stool), and dietary changes can improve autism symptoms, communication, social behavior, and digestive issues. Researchers believe gut health and immune system problems may contribute to autism, and this trial explores whether treating these areas helps.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for mesenchymal stem cells?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 115 recruiting mesenchymal stem cells studies from the U.S. registry, each rewritten for real people, not researchers, so you can see what it’s testing and who it’s for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a mesenchymal stem cells trial?
- Each study lists its eligibility criteria — rules about age, diagnosis, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in words written for real people and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Does it cost anything to join a mesenchymal stem cells trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what’s covered before you decide.
