Cord blood stem cells tested in stroke patients – early safety check
NCT ID NCT03186456
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This early-stage trial tests whether stem cells from donated umbilical cords are safe for people who recently had a stroke. Forty participants will receive three monthly infusions of the cells along with standard aspirin therapy. The study is currently on hold, and its main goal is to monitor for side effects, not to prove the treatment works.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
human umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cells
What this could lead to
If it works, this could point toward a new way to help people recover from stroke by reducing brain damage.
What could go wrong
This is a very early, small trial (Phase 1, 40 people) that is currently suspended. It only tests safety, not whether it truly works, and stem cell treatments carry risks like infection or immune reactions.
