Hope for brain injury patients: stem cells tested in expanded access trial
NCT ID NCT07164482
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This expanded access study offers stem cell therapy (HB-adMSCs) to up to 8 people with traumatic or non-traumatic brain injury who were not eligible for a related trial. Participants receive 6 intravenous infusions over 16 weeks. The goal is to evaluate safety and whether the treatment can improve outcomes.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- HB-adMSCs (Hope Biosciences adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells)
- What this could lead to
- If this works, it could point toward a treatment that helps repair brain damage and improve function after injury.
- What could go wrong
- This is a very small expanded access study (up to 8 patients) with no control group, so results may not be generalizable. Stem cell treatments carry risks like infusion reactions or unknown long-term effects.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: 1. Male and female patients 14 - 78 years of age 2. Patient should provide evidence of TBI or non -TBI as evidenced by documentation in their medical records and imaging that was done within the past 3 years. 3. Female participants of childbearing potential should not be pregnant or plan to become pregnant during protocol participation and for 6 months after the last investigational product administration. Female participants of childbearing potential should confirm the use of one of the following contraceptive measures: * Hormonal contraceptives associated with ovulation inhibition (oral, injectable, implantable, patch, or intravaginal). * Intrauterine device (IUD), or intrauterine hormone-releasing system (IUS). * Barrier contraceptive methods (condoms, diaphragm, etc.). * Surgery (occlusion bilateral tubal ligation, hysterectomy, vasectomized partner). OR Male participants if their sexual partners can become pregnant should ensure the use one of the following methods of contraception during protocol participation and for 6 months after the last administration of the investigated product: * Hormonal contraceptives associated with ovulation inhibition (oral, injectable, implantable, patch, or intravaginal). * Intrauterine device (IUD), or intrauterine hormone-releasing system (IUS). * Barrier contraceptive methods (condoms, diaphragm, etc.). * Surgery (vasectomy, occlusion bilateral tubal ligation (partner), hysterectomy (partner)). 4. Patient/LAR should be able to read, understand, and to provide voluntary consent. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Women who are currently pregnant or lactating. 2. The patient has any active infection requiring medications per PI's discretion. 3. The patient has any clinical signs or symptoms of infection per PI's discretion. 4. The patient has hyperthermia or hypothermia. 5. The patient has any known recent (within the last 6 months) coagulation anomalies that are not being medically treated and are not stable per PI's discretion. 6. The patient has any abnormal laboratory values at the screening visit which the Investigator determines to be clinically significant and make the patient unsuitable for participation. 7. The Investigator determines the patient to be unsuitable for participation for other reasons, such as, but not limited to deep vein thrombosis (DVT), pulmonary embolus, cardiac arrhythmia, or those who have a prothrombotic condition, or who require persistent oxygen supplementation.
