One Patient's last hope: stem cells for rare nerve disease
NCT ID NCT04825626
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study gives one patient with CIDP access to their own stored stem cells to see if it's safe and might help. The patient receives multiple infusions over 44 weeks and is followed for a year. Because it's only one person, the results are very limited.
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 treatment for CIDP that reduces symptoms and improves nerve function.
- What could go wrong
- This is a single-patient expanded access program, not a controlled trial, so results may not apply to others. Risks include infection or lack of benefit.
