Stem-cell secretome treatment for vitiligo
Official title: Use of Allogeneic Extracellular Secretomes (EV)Derived From Umbilical Cord Mesenchymal Stromal Cells: a Phase I Open-label Safety Trial.
Status: Closed to new participants
Description:
University of Jordan enrolled about 13 participants. This experimental treatment uses cell-derived particles and signaling proteins intended to change inflammation and tissue repair. Researchers hope these signals will protect melanocytes and encourage pigment to return. Possible risks include injection or infusion reactions, allergy, inflammation, infection, and other effects that are not yet known. People ages 18 to 75 may qualify. The study is underway but is no longer accepting new participants.
