Stem cell injection for severe ARDS
This trial tests whether an injection of stem cells from umbilical cords can help people with severe ARDS (a type of lung failure) recover faster. It is for those who have not improved after standard treatment and whose ARDS is caused by an infection (not COVID-19).
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18–80 - NCT06815003RecruitingPhase 2
Preventing Graft-Versus-Host Disease After Stem Cell Transplant
This trial tests a combination of three drugs (vedolizumab, cyclophosphamide, and tacrolimus) to prevent graft-versus-host disease, a common complication after a donor stem cell transplant. It is for people with certain blood cancers who are getting a reduced-intensity transplant.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18–80 - NCT05711849RecruitingPhase 2
Stem cell treatment for long-lasting chest pain not helped by meds
This Phase 2 trial tests whether stem cells placed into the heart artery can safely reduce symptoms in people with “refractory” angina (chest pain) despite maximum heart-healthy medication. You may qualify if your chest pain is limiting your activity and other heart procedures (stents/bypass) aren’t possible or are too risky.
London, EnglandAges 18 years+ - NCT01890486Recruiting
Collecting information from people having a stem cell transplant
This study aims to collect, store, and share data from patients who are receiving standard intensive treatment and a stem cell transplant from either their own cells or a donor. It may help improve how future patients are treated by building a reliable record of outcomes and care patterns.
Winston-Salem, North CarolinaAges 18–120 - NCT01852370Enrolling by invitationPhase 1/Phase 2
Lung and bone marrow transplant plan for immune system disorders
This early-phase study tests a step-by-step transplant approach: first replacing the lungs, then doing a bone marrow (stem cell) transplant to treat certain immune deficiency diseases. It may help people whose immune problem has led to severe, end-stage lung disease.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 5–45 - NCT05757310RecruitingPhase 1
Stem cell transplant with lower-intensity chemo for severe aplastic anemia
This Phase 1 trial tests a “lower-intensity” chemotherapy plan followed by a stem cell transplant from a related half-match donor for severe aplastic anemia that has returned or did not respond to prior medicines. It aims to see if this approach is safe and works well enough to help your blood counts recover.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges Up to 75 years - NCT06172296RecruitingPhase 3
Dinutuximab plus transplant for high-risk neuroblastoma
This trial tests adding a targeted drug called dinutuximab to standard chemotherapy, surgery, and a stem cell transplant for children and young adults with a new diagnosis of high-risk neuroblastoma. The goal is to see if this combination helps more patients stay in remission.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges Up to 30 years - NCT05147675RecruitingPhase 1
Testing cord stem cell treatment for osteoarthritis safety
This early study (Phase 1) checks whether an infused stem cell product made from donated umbilical cord tissue is safe in people with osteoarthritis. It’s mainly looking for side effects and whether the treatment can be given safely.
Naples, FloridaAges Any age - NCT07226726RecruitingPhase 1
Stem cell exosome treatment for congenital myasthenic syndrome
This trial tests a treatment made from stem cell exosomes (tiny particles that may help repair cells) for people with congenital myasthenic syndrome, a muscle-weakening condition. It aims to see if this treatment is safe and could improve symptoms.
Naples, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT03818334RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Cyclophosphamide after transplant for blood cancer without sibling donor
This trial studies giving cyclophosphamide after a stem cell transplant when there is no matched sibling donor, but a well-matched unrelated donor is available. It aims to improve outcomes for people with blood cancers undergoing this transplant.
São Paulo, São PauloAges 1–75 - NCT03793517RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Decitabine plus chemotherapy before stem cell transplant for high-risk leukemia
This trial studies whether adding decitabine plus chemotherapy before a stem cell transplant can better control “minimal residual disease” (very small amounts of leukemia left behind) in certain high-risk acute leukemia types. It may help reduce the chance of the leukemia coming back after transplant.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–55 - NCT05086003RecruitingPhase 2
Kidney transplant with stem cell treatment to build immune tolerance
This Phase 2 study tests a combined treatment—kidney transplant plus stem cell–based immune therapy—to help the body accept the new kidney with less immune attack. You may be able to take part if you have a matching sibling donor and meet key safety and health requirements.
Petah TikvaAges 18–65 - NCT04684602RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of stem cells for several short- and long-term illnesses
This early-stage study tests whether injections of mesenchymal stem cells can be safe and helpful for certain chronic (long-term) and acute (short-term) conditions. You might be considered if you can consent, are able to return for follow-up visits, and do not have key reasons that would make stem-cell treatment unsafe.
Culver City, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05584761RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Cord blood stem cells plus azacitidine for advanced blood cancers
This trial tests whether adding donated cord blood stem cells to azacitidine can improve outcomes for people with advanced MDS, CMML-2, or a certain type of AML. It may help by giving the treatment a stronger chance to control abnormal blood-forming cells.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18–80 - NCT05554068RecruitingPhase 2
Testing the shingles vaccine response after bone marrow transplant
This Phase 2 study looks at how well the shingles vaccine works in people who had an allogeneic (donor) stem cell transplant. It aims to measure the body’s immune response to the vaccine and check that it’s safe in this recovery period.
Maywood, IllinoisAges Any age - NCT05797272Recruiting
In-utero stem cell treatment for Bart’s hydrops
This trial studies whether giving hematopoietic (blood-forming) stem cells while the baby is still in the womb can treat fetuses with Bart’s hydrops fetalis syndrome. It aims to improve outcomes after prenatal intervention in carefully selected pregnancies.
