CAR-T therapy plus stem cell transplant for B-cell ALL with MRD
This trial tests a combination of a CAR-T cell therapy (Inaticabtagene Autoleucel) followed by your own stem cells being transplanted back into you. It is for teenagers and adults who have B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) that is in first complete remission but still has tiny amounts of cancer cells (called MRD) that can be detected by sensitive tests.
Tianjin, Tianjin MunicipalityAges 16–70 - NCT07313020Enrolling by invitationEarly Phase 1

This trial tests a new handheld imaging device (MPI) to track stem cells injected into the knee. It aims to see if the device can safely monitor how the stem cells move and work in people with knee osteoarthritis.
Haikou, HainanAges 18–75 - NCT07865676RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Stem cell injection for age-related muscle loss
This trial tests an injection of donor bone marrow stem cells to see if it can improve muscle strength and function in people with age-related muscle loss, called sarcopenia. It may help those who cannot do regular exercise training.
GuangzhouAges 50–85 - NCT04684368RecruitingPhase 2

Birmingham, AlabamaAges 3–29 - NCT02781922RecruitingPhase 3
Stem cell infusion for single-ventricle heart failure during surgery
This trial tests whether an infusion of heart stem/progenitor cells can improve outcomes for children with a single working heart chamber (single ventricle) who are scheduled for the next surgical stage (Glenn or Fontan). It may help the heart function after surgery, but participation depends on several heart, lung, brain, and overall health safety criteria.
KanagawaAges birth–6 years - NCT03326921RecruitingPhase 1
T cell treatment for leukemia after a bone marrow transplant
This early-phase trial tests an immune “T cell” therapy made to recognize a specific leukemia target. It is for people whose acute leukemia has come back (relapsed) or did not fully respond after receiving a donor stem cell transplant.
Seattle, WashingtonAges Up to 80 years - NCT06715046Recruiting
Blood DNA test after stem cell transplant
This study checks if looking at DNA in your blood can help doctors see how well your stem cell transplant is working and catch any problems early. It is for people with blood cancers getting a transplant from a donor.
Milan, MilanAges 18 years+ - NCT02015013RecruitingPhase 2
Blood cell collection study for immune system disorders
This study collects blood-forming cells from people with low CD4 counts and healthy volunteers to learn how the immune system works. It may help researchers better understand and treat conditions like idiopathic CD4 lymphocytopenia.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–65 - NCT07542808RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Stem cell treatment vs. hyaluronic acid for knee arthritis
This study tests whether an injection of stem cells (special cells that can help repair tissue) works better than a standard hyaluronic acid injection for knee osteoarthritis pain. Both treatments are injected into the knee to reduce pain and improve function.
Abu DhabiAges 18 years+ - NCT07285668Recruiting
Special donor immune cells after stem cell transplant for high-risk blood cancers
This study tests whether giving specially treated donor immune cells after a stem cell transplant can help prevent relapse in patients with high-risk blood cancers. You would get a stem cell transplant from a relative, followed by an infusion of donor cells that have been processed to reduce the risk of graft-versus-host disease.
Madison, WisconsinAges 18–80 - NCT06735690RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Immune cells plus vaccine after stem cell transplant for leukemia
This trial is for people with high-risk acute lymphoblastic leukemia who are getting a stem cell transplant from a family donor. After transplant, you'd receive a treatment that combines specially designed immune cells (CAR T cells) that target your leukemia, plus a vaccine that helps those cells work better.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06087848RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
StromaForte stem cell therapy for heart event prevention
This trial tests a stem cell product called StromaForte to see if it can reduce cardiovascular events like heart attacks in people with stable medical conditions. It may help if you have heart or blood vessel issues that have been stable for at least six months.
Nassau, The BahamasAges 25–85 - NCT03707262RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Brother or sister donor transplant using kidney and stem cells
This study tests a combined approach for kidney transplant patients: standard living-donor kidney transplant plus an added “stem cell” component taken from the same sibling donor. It aims to improve transplant outcomes by trying to better control the immune response and reduce complications.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT03522545RecruitingPhase 1
Stem cell add-on for hard-to-treat bipolar depression
This Phase 1 study tests whether adding allogeneic (donor) stem cells to standard care is safe and may help adults with bipolar depression that has not improved with usual treatments. It mainly targets people with more severe symptoms and certain blood inflammation levels.
Houston, TexasAges 18–65 - NCT03513731Recruiting

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for stem cell?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 718 recruiting stem cell 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 stem cell 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 stem cell 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.
