NCT ID NCT04776239

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

Summary

This early-phase study tested whether a single infusion of donor stem cells could help repair damaged blood vessels in 26 adults with type 2 diabetes and symptomatic heart disease. Researchers measured blood vessel function and looked for signs of repair in the lab. The goal was to see if this approach is safe and might improve blood flow, not to cure the underlying conditions.
