MSC therapy for type 2 diabetes
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a type of stem cell treatment (called cfMSC) can help people with long-standing type 2 diabetes who are not getting good blood sugar control from their current treatments. The therapy aims to improve blood sugar levels and may help preserve the body's ability to produce insulin.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have had type 2 diabetes for more than 3 years and your blood sugar is not well controlled despite treatment (HbA1c levels of 7.5% or higher for the last 3 months).
- You are between 18 and 75 years old, with a body mass index (BMI) between 18.5 and 35.
- You still produce some insulin on your own (measured by a fasting C-peptide level between 0.3 and 1.5 ng/mL).
- You are generally healthy enough to perform daily activities (Karnofsky score of 70 or higher) and are expected to live more than 5 years.
- You do not have serious complications from diabetes (like kidney failure, severe eye problems, or infected foot ulcers) and have no history of cancer in the last 5 years.

This trial tests a new stem cell treatment (DT2-SCT) for people with type 2 diabetes who need insulin. It aims to see if the treatment is safe and helps control blood sugar better than a placebo.
This trial tests a new stem cell treatment for people with type 2 diabetes that is difficult to control with standard medications. The treatment uses a special kind of stem cell to try to improve blood sugar levels.
This trial tests if a type of stem cell product (exosomes) can safely and effectively help people with type 2 diabetes. Researchers will give infusions to see if it improves blood sugar control and pancreatic function.
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.
This trial tests whether injecting your own stem cells into the duodenum (the first part of the small intestine) is safe and possible for people with type 2 diabetes and insulin resistance. The goal is to see if this can help improve blood sugar control.
This trial tests a new treatment made from stem cells that may help people with diabetes who have dangerous low blood sugar episodes. It aims to see if these cells can replace some of the pancreas function and prevent severe hypoglycemia.
