Stem cells aim to fix torn shoulder tendons
NCT ID NCT07320378
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This early-phase trial tests whether tendon stem cells can help rotator cuff tears heal better after surgery. About 107 adults with small to medium tears will receive either standard repair or repair plus stem cells placed at the injury site. The study will check for side effects and measure shoulder function over time.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
tendon stem/progenitor cells (TSPCs) delivered on a fibrin glue scaffold
What this could lead to
If it works, this could lead to a treatment that helps tendons heal better after surgery, reducing the risk of re-tear and improving shoulder function.
What could go wrong
This is a very early (Phase 1) trial with only 107 people, so safety and effectiveness are not yet proven. Stem cell therapies can have side effects like infection or abnormal tissue growth.
