NCT ID NCT05096182

What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing This study
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

Researchers are following 10 people with chronic kidney disease who received Cellgram-CKD, a stem cell therapy, in an earlier trial. Over five years, the team tracks deaths, new cancers, immune reactions, and other delayed problems tied to stem cell treatment. The goal is to learn whether the therapy causes harm much later, not to test whether it works.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Cellgram-CKD, a stem cell therapy made from the patient's own bone marrow
What this could lead to
If the therapy proves safe over years, it could support further testing of stem cell treatment for chronic kidney disease.
What could go wrong
This is a small follow-up of 10 people who already received the therapy, so it can only detect safety signals, not whether the treatment works. Rare delayed effects may still go unnoticed.
Why investors are watching

Pharmicell's Cellgram-CKD was given to patients with chronic kidney disease in an earlier study, and this follow-up tracks 10 of them for five years to check long-term safety. For a small company, that safety record can support later trials or partnering talks, so the readout carries weight beyond its small size.

If it works: A clean five-year safety record may make it easier for Pharmicell to run larger studies or find a partner for Cellgram-CKD.

If it fails: New safety problems in these 10 patients could slow or stop the program, and long follow-up studies often take years to report anything.
