Cord blood infusion trial aims to beat long COVID fatigue
NCT ID NCT07184385
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This phase 3 trial tests whether a single infusion of human umbilical cord blood, called REGENECYTE, can reduce fatigue in people with Long COVID. Sixty adults with post-COVID condition will receive either the cord blood or a placebo (salt water) and be monitored for changes in fatigue and side effects. The study is double-blind and randomized, meaning neither participants nor doctors know who gets the real treatment.
