Stem cells from your own fat for chronic brain injury
Part of Blood & lymphatic, Brain & nervous system, Cancer, Heart & circulation, Immune system & allergy, Injuries & trauma, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial tests whether stem cells taken from your own fat and given through an IV can help people with long-term brain damage from a head injury. It is for adults who have not gotten better with standard treatments.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 55 years old.
- You have had a traumatic brain injury (from a blow to the head) for more than 6 months but less than 20 years, and you still have some disability.
- You can communicate in English or Spanish.
- You have not had any stem cell treatment, gene therapy, or cell therapy before.
- You do not have serious kidney, liver, lung, or bleeding problems; active cancer; or a positive test for HIV, hepatitis B, hepatitis C, or syphilis.

This trial tests whether a single infusion of stem cells from donated umbilical cord tissue can help calm inflammation in the brain after severe traumatic brain injury. It is for patients aged 18–50 who need brain pressure monitoring and are not responding to verbal commands 5 days after sedation is stopped.
This study tests whether bone-marrow stem cells can improve nerve function in people with nerve damage that usually doesn’t recover with current care. It also checks whether the treatment is safe and whether people can be followed over time with repeated nerve exams.
This early study tests whether an intravenous (through a vein) stem cell treatment made from donated umbilical cord tissue is safe for people with traumatic brain injury. It focuses mainly on side effects and safety, and only includes participants who meet several health and pregnancy-related safety checks.
This trial tests a stem cell treatment for people with early-stage Alzheimer's disease. It aims to see if the treatment can help slow memory loss or other symptoms. You must have a specific blood test showing inflammation in the body to qualify.
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 study tests whether a treatment made from donor stem cells (called mesenchymal stromal cells) can help people recover from a severe traumatic brain injury. The cells are given through a vein within 48 hours of the injury.
