Could umbilical cord blood help heal the womb?
NCT ID NCT07697924
First seen Jul 13, 2026 · Last updated Jul 14, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study investigates whether a special preparation made from umbilical cord blood, called platelet-rich plasma (hUC-PRP), can help thicken the uterine lining in women with Asherman syndrome or thin endometrium. Participants receive a single injection of hUC-PRP into the uterine wall after estrogen treatment. The goal is to see if this therapy can improve endometrial thickness, which may aid fertility.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- umbilical cord platelet-rich plasma (hUC-PRP)
- What this could lead to
- If effective, this therapy could offer a new way to restore the uterine lining in women with Asherman syndrome, potentially improving fertility outcomes.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-phase study with only 35 participants, and previous results have been inconclusive. The treatment may not work for everyone, and risks include infection or procedural complications.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * age between 18 and 48 years at the time of recruitment * body mass index (BMI): ≥ 18 kg/m2 and ≤ 35 kg/m2 * endometrial thickness \< 5 mm despite estrogen administration according to each clinic's routine practice for 10 or more days and/or evidence of Asherman syndrome. Exclusion Criteria: * Active genital infection at the time of recruitment * chronic endometritis * known endometrial pathology * psychiatric disorder that could hinder study follow-up * positive results on viral safety testing (HBsAg, HBcAb, HCV, HIV-1, HIV-2, syphilis) * presence of any syndrome or condition that, in the opinion of the principal investigator, could pose a risk to the study or to the patient * any clinically significant abnormality detected during the recruitment process * simultaneous participation in another clinical study that could affect the objectives of the present study, or prior participation in this same study.
