NCT ID NCT06129175
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether umbilical cord stem cells (Neuroncell-EX) can improve recovery in people who recently had a moderate to severe stroke. Eighty participants will receive either the stem cells or a placebo, plus standard care. The goal is to see if the treatment helps with daily functioning and reduces disability over one year.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (Neuroncell-EX)
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could point toward a new treatment to improve functional recovery after a stroke, helping patients regain independence.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early-to-mid-stage trial with only 80 participants, so results may not be conclusive. Stem cell therapies also carry risks like infusion reactions or unknown long-term effects.
