Stem cell treatment for people at high risk of COVID-19
Part of Infections, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This Phase 2 study tests whether donated-from-your-own-fat stem cells can improve outcomes for people who are high risk for getting COVID-19, but who have never had COVID-19 and test negative right now. It may help your immune system and reduce complications if you become infected during the study.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are age 18 or older and can sign informed consent
- You already have your own stored stem cells from body fat at Celltex
- You have no past COVID-19 and your breathing tests are negative for the virus now
- Your blood tests for COVID-19 antibodies (IgM and IgG) are negative
- You have high risk for COVID-19 infection (for example, very high BMI, certain blood pressure/diabetes, or long-term heart/lung/liver/kidney conditions—without being in the terminal stage)
- You must not have recent participation in another drug study, recent major surgery/trauma, or conditions that strongly raise clotting/serious organ failure risk

This trial tests a new medicine made from stem cells to see if it can help people with COVID-19 symptoms. It's for people who are overweight or moderately obese, have had symptoms for a few days, and have tested positive for COVID-19.
This trial tests donated (allogeneic) fat-derived stem cells to see if they improve outcomes in adults with severe or critical COVID-19. It may help calm severe lung/immune problems, but whether it works and is safe will be studied in this Phase 2 study.
This study tests whether a single infusion of mesenchymal stem cells can help with Long COVID symptoms—without causing serious side effects. It’s for people who are still struggling with COVID-related health problems months after their initial infection.
This Phase 2 study tests whether cells made from your own stored fat can improve osteoarthritis in your knee, hip, or shoulder. It’s for people who already have those fat-derived stem cells banked and who can safely follow the study plan.
This Phase 1/2 study tests whether mesenchymal stem cells can help people with HIV who have lower immune cell counts. You would join a treatment plan and follow study rules closely, while the researchers track safety and early signs of benefit.
This trial tests using your own fat stem cells to help control blood sugar in type 2 diabetes. It might help if you have had diabetes for less than 10 years and are not on insulin.
