Stem cell therapy for frailty in older adults
This study tests a new stem cell medicine given through an IV to see if it is safe for older adults with mild to moderate frailty. Frailty causes weakness and tiredness, and this treatment aims to improve overall health and function.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be between 60 and 85 years old.
- You must have been diagnosed with mild to moderate frailty.
- Your weight must be between 40 and 90 kg (about 88 to 198 pounds).
- You cannot have serious health issues like severe heart, lung, kidney, or liver disease, or certain neurological conditions (like Parkinson's or dementia).
- You cannot have had cancer in the last 5 years (except for very minor skin cancers).
- You must not be on immune-suppressing drugs or blood thinners, or be willing to have them adjusted with the study doctor's approval.

This study tests an investigational treatment made from special cells (called mesenchymal stromal cells) that might help reduce frailty in older adults. The treatment is given through an IV and aims to improve strength and overall function.
This early study (Phase 1) tests whether a lab-made stem cell product given through an IV is safe in people with “aging frailty.” It looks mainly at side effects and safety while also exploring whether the treatment can be given safely.
This trial tests a personalized treatment approach for people aged 65 and older with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma. The goal is to tailor therapy based on each patient's level of frailty, which could help improve outcomes and reduce side effects.
This Phase 1/2 study tests whether transfusions of donated plasma can improve frailty and immune function in older adults. It mainly checks safety first, and also looks for signs that the immune system and overall strength may improve.
This trial tests a special exercise program designed for older adults who are frail or have muscle loss. The goal is to help improve strength and daily function, and participating may help you stay independent longer.
This trial tests whether a Spanish health-clinic–guided exercise program can improve frailty in people who are starting to become frail (“pre-frail”). It may help you build strength and walking ability through supervised physical activity.
