Could tiny stem cell particles help control diabetes?
NCT ID NCT07693036
First seen Jul 09, 2026 · Last updated Jul 10, 2026 · Updated 1 time
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. Severe cardiovascular/cerebrovascular diseases, hepatic or renal insufficiency (e.g., eGFR \<30 mL/min·1.73m²). 4. Active malignancy, coagulation disorders, immune system diseases. 5. Pregnant or lactating women. 6. Individuals with allergic constitution. 7. Exclusion of subjects currently participating in other clinical trials. 8. Subjects deemed unsuitable for participation by the investigator.
