What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
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
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 Results may not be published yet.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This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.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

This trial investigates whether exosomes—tiny particles from human umbilical cord stem cells—can safely improve blood sugar control in adults with type 2 diabetes. Participants receive weekly intravenous infusions of the exosome product or a control for eight weeks. The study measures changes in HbA1c, a key marker of long-term blood sugar levels, and monitors for side effects.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cell-derived exosomes (GoldenExo NATX)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could point toward a new way to improve blood sugar control and reduce diabetes complications without daily injections.
What could go wrong
This is an early-phase trial with a small number of participants, so results may not apply to everyone. Exosome therapy is experimental and could have unknown side effects.

Inclusion Criteria: 1. Age 18-65 years, diagnosed with T2DM for ≥5 years (\<20 years). 2. Regular diet and exercise control combined with the following intensive treatment regimens, with screening HbA1c remaining between 7.5% and 9.0% (FBG \<13.9mmol/L):Stable dose of insulin (basal or premixed) (\<1.5u/kg·d) combined with ≥1 oral antidiabetic drug (OAD) (e.g., Metformin, SGLT2i) for ≥3 months; or Insulin combined with a GLP-1RA (maximum tolerated dose, ≤1mg Qw); or GLP-1RA (maximum tolerated dose, ≤1mg Qw) combined with ≥1 OAD for ≥3 months; or Stable dose of ≥3 OADs (must include Metformin) for ≥3 months. 3. Fasting C-peptide ≥1.0 ng/mL. 4. Glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD) antibody and Islet cell antibody (IAA) negative. 5. Body Mass Index (BMI) 18.5-35 kg/m ². 6. Subjects voluntarily participate in the study and sign the informed consent form. 7. Female subjects of childbearing potential and non-sterilized male subjects must agree to use highly effective contraceptive methods during the study period and for 1 year following the final infusion. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Type 1 diabetes or other specific types of diabetes. 2. Occurrence of severe hypoglycemia or diabetic ketoacidosis within the past 6 months. 3.
