Stem cells injected into damaged hearts: a new hope?

NCT ID NCT05068674

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This early-phase study tests whether injecting lab-grown heart cells (made from human embryonic stem cells) can safely improve heart function in 18 adults with chronic heart damage from a past heart attack. Participants receive one of three doses via a catheter, and researchers monitor safety and heart imaging for up to a year. The goal is to find a safe dose, not yet to cure the condition.
