First human test: can cord cells fix torn shoulders?
NCT ID NCT04057833
Summary
This early-stage study is testing whether adding special lab-grown cells from umbilical cords to standard shoulder surgery is safe and might improve healing. The trial will enroll 20 adults aged 45-70 with full-thickness rotator cuff tears who haven't improved with physical therapy. Researchers aim to see if these cells, placed at the repair site during surgery, can help the tendon heal better and reduce the chance of re-tearing.
