NCT ID NCT07230600

First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This early study tests whether cells from a woman's own belly fat can help thicken the uterine lining in those with infertility due to a thin lining or uterine scars. Ten women who have not responded to other treatments will receive an infusion of these cells into the uterus. The main goal is to see if the lining reaches at least 6 mm thick, which is needed for embryo implantation.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

AD-SVF (stromal vascular fraction from the patient's own fat tissue)

What this could lead to

If it works, this could offer a new treatment option for women with a thin uterine lining or scar tissue who cannot have standard stem cell therapy.

What could go wrong

This is a very early Phase 1 trial with only 10 participants, so results may not apply widely. The treatment may not improve endometrial thickness or pregnancy outcomes.
