Recruiting studies
- NCT01949129RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Stem cell transplant trial for children with certain leukemia types
This trial tests whether children and teens with a specific type of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) do well after getting donor stem cells (an allogeneic transplant). It may help by using a standardized transplant approach for people in complete remission before the transplant.
Buenos AiresAges 1 month–18 years - NCT00106925Recruiting
Long-term follow-up for people after stem cell transplant
This study follows people who are at least 3 years out from their first stem cell transplant to learn how they are doing long term. It may help improve future transplant care by tracking outcomes over time.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 7–80 - NCT06687837RecruitingPhase 1
Stem cell therapy for Parkinson's disease
This trial tests whether implanting your own stem cells (made into dopamine-producing brain cells) can improve Parkinson's motor symptoms. You would need to be a candidate for brain surgery and have a stable medication routine.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 45–80 - NCT06482268RecruitingPhase 1
Cell transplant for advanced parkinson's disease
This trial tests a new type of cell transplant for Parkinson's disease. The cells are made from stem cells and are meant to replace damaged brain cells that produce dopamine, which may improve your motor symptoms.
La Jolla, CaliforniaAges 40–75 - NCT07243561RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Exosome therapy for childhood autism study
This trial tests if exosomes from stem cells can help children with autism who haven't improved enough with standard behavioral therapy. It aims to see if this treatment is safe and effective for reducing autism symptoms.
Dongfang, HainanAges 3–7 - NCT07822087RecruitingPhase 1
Cell therapy for active crohn's disease
This trial tests an experimental cell therapy called ATORM-C for people with Crohn's disease who haven't gotten better with standard treatments. The goal is to see if this new treatment can help heal the intestinal ulcers that cause symptoms.
SeoulAges 19–80 - NCT07731087Recruiting
Stem cell secretion therapy for thinking recovery after stroke
This study tests whether a therapy made from stem cell secretions can help improve memory and thinking after an ischemic stroke. It is for people who had a clot-related stroke in the past 3 months and now have mild to moderate cognitive issues.
Makassar, South SulawesiAges 40–75 - NCT07693244RecruitingPhase 2
Exosome therapy for male pattern baldness
This trial tests a new treatment using exosomes (tiny particles that help cells communicate) for male pattern baldness. It may help regrow hair or slow further loss.
BeijingAges 18–55 - NCT07496372RecruitingPhase 3
Stem cell injection for advanced heart failure
This trial tests a treatment made from stem cells that are turned into heart muscle cells and injected directly into the heart. It is for people with advanced heart failure who are already on the best available medicines and who are scheduled to have bypass surgery.
Tianjin, Tianjin MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT07145294RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Stem cell therapy to improve thinking after stroke
This trial tests whether tiny particles from stem cells can help people recover thinking and memory after a recent stroke. Doctors will check if the treatment is safe and if it boosts brain function.
ShanghaiAges 18 years+ - NCT06995625RecruitingPhase 1
Stem cell particles for recent stroke recovery
This trial tests whether stem cell-derived extracellular vesicles can help people recover after a moderate to severe stroke. You may join if you had a stroke in the last 5 days and still have arm or leg weakness, even after standard treatments like clot-busting drugs or clot removal.
Suwon, Gyeonggi-doAges 19 years+ - NCT04627428RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Stem-cell–made eye tissue transplant for dry macular degeneration
This early-stage study tests whether a stem-cell–derived transplant to the back of the eye is safe and tolerable in people with dry age-related macular degeneration (AMD). If you qualify, you may receive the transplant and have close follow-up to watch for side effects.
Beverly Hills, CaliforniaAges 55 years+ - NCT04871607RecruitingPhase 2
Yttrium antibody plus chemotherapy for hard-to-treat Hodgkin lymphoma
This trial studies a targeted antibody therapy with yttrium, combined with intensive chemotherapy, for adults whose Hodgkin lymphoma did not respond well or came back. It may help by delivering cancer-killing radiation directly to lymphoma cells and preparing the body for treatment after transplant conditioning.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04396899RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Stem cell heart patch for advanced heart failure
This early-phase study tests a lab-made heart tissue (“engineered myocardium”) placed surgically to help the heart work better in people with advanced heart failure. It mainly checks safety first, and also looks for signs the patch can improve heart function in selected patients.
Göttingen, Lower SaxonyAges 18–80 - NCT04339764RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
iPS cell eye transplant for dry macular degeneration
This early-phase study tests whether transplanting lab-made retinal cells from your own body can slow vision loss from geographic atrophy caused by dry age-related macular degeneration. It involves eye surgery and frequent follow-up to check safety and early signs of benefit.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 55–95 - NCT02413450Enrolling by invitation
Using patient DNA cells to study inherited heart rhythm risks
This study uses your blood or genetic information to make “iPS cells,” lab-grown cells that can help researchers study inherited heart rhythm problems like LQTS, Brugada syndrome, CPVT, or early repolarization syndrome. It may help improve understanding of why these rhythms happen and guide future treatments.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18–85 - NCT07775313Enrolling by invitationPhase 1/Phase 2
Gene therapy for WHIM syndrome
This trial tests a one-time gene therapy treatment for WHIM syndrome, a rare immune disorder. It aims to fix the genetic cause to improve your body's ability to fight infections. Your stem cells will be collected, edited in a lab, and given back to you after some chemotherapy to prepare your body.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 3–75 - NCT06851767Enrolling by invitationPhase 1/Phase 2
Gene therapy for X-linked severe combined immunodeficiency
This study tests a gene therapy to treat X-linked severe combined immunodeficiency (X-SCID) without a stem cell transplant from a matched sibling. It aims to improve immune function and reduce infections using your own stem cells modified to carry the correct gene.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 3–99 - NCT03958240Recruiting
Study how cancers trigger the immune system
This study looks at what makes some cancers more “noticeable” to the immune system. It may help researchers design better future immunotherapy by collecting information (often including blood samples) from people with different cancers.
ToulouseAges 18 years+ - NCT03173937RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Cord blood transplant for severe aplastic anemia
This study tests a special cord blood transplant that may help your body start making blood cells faster than a regular transplant. It is for people with severe aplastic anemia or related bone marrow failure who have not gotten better with other treatments.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 4–75 - NCT03591302RecruitingPhase 1
Stem cell transplant to stop anti-rejection drugs after kidney transplant
This study tries to use a stem cell transplant from your original kidney donor to help your body accept the kidney without needing lifelong anti-rejection drugs. You must have a perfectly matched sibling donor who is still available.
Palo Alto, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT03047369Recruiting
Myelin brain disorder research biobank for samples and data
This study collects brain-related medical information and biological samples to help researchers better understand leukodystrophies and other white-matter brain disorders. It may help future diagnosis and treatments by building a valuable “biobank” of patient data and samples.

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.
