NCT ID NCT02795052

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

Summary

This study is testing whether stem cells taken from a person's own bone marrow and then given back through the veins and nose can improve brain and nerve function. It includes 500 people with various conditions like stroke, Parkinson's, Alzheimer's, and nerve damage. The goal is to see if this treatment can help when standard care has not.

What this could mean

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

Active substance

autologous bone marrow derived stem cells

What this could lead to

If it works, this could point toward a treatment that improves neurologic function for conditions like stroke, Parkinson's, or Alzheimer's.

What could go wrong

This is an early, unblinded study with no control group, so results may be due to placebo. It also includes many different conditions, making it hard to draw firm conclusions.
