First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study treated one 58-year-old man with polyneuropathy caused by POEMS syndrome using his own fat-derived stem cells. He received eight infusions over 28 weeks to try to relieve nerve symptoms. The study is no longer available and was not a formal clinical trial.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
autologous adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (HB-adMSCs)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could point toward a way to ease nerve pain and weakness in people with POEMS syndrome.
What could go wrong
This was a single-patient expanded access study, not a formal trial, so results may not apply to others. The treatment is experimental and risks are not well understood.
