Cord blood plasma could repair thin uterine lining
NCT ID NCT05095597
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tested whether platelet-rich plasma from umbilical cord blood can thicken the endometrium (uterine lining) in women with Asherman's syndrome or endometrial atrophy. Fifteen women received an injection of the plasma into the uterine wall during a hysteroscopy, along with estrogen therapy. The goal was to see if the lining would grow enough to allow for embryo transfer in fertility treatments.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- platelet-rich plasma from umbilical cord blood
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could offer a new treatment to improve endometrial thickness in women with thin endometrium, potentially helping them become eligible for embryo transfer.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-phase trial with only 15 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The treatment is still experimental, and its safety and effectiveness are not yet proven.

UMBILICAL CORD DONORS Donors of umbilical cord blood will be women (and their partners, if applicable) who give birth to a live newborn(s) in the Gynecology and Obstetrics service of HUP La Fe; the same umbilical cord collection criteria will be followed as standardized in HUP La Fe for the donation of this biological product. GROUP A Inclusion Criteria: * Patient information sheet and signed informed consent. * Female, acting voluntarily, aged between 18 and 48 years at the time of recruitment. * BMI ≥ 18 kg/m2 and ≤ 35 kg/m2. * Patients with premature ovarian failure (amenorrhea prior to 40 years of age and FSH \> 40 IU/L). Exclusion Criteria: * Active genital infection proven at the time of recruitment; chronic endometritis. * Known endometrial pathology. * Psychological disorder that may hinder study follow-up. * Positive results after viral safety analysis (HBsAg, HBcAb, HCV, HIV1, HIV2, syphilis). * Presenting any syndrome or condition that, from the principal investigator's point of view, could pose a risk to the study or to the patient. * Any significant clinical anomaly detected during the recruitment process; simultaneous participation in another clinical study that could affect the objectives of the present study or previous participation in this same study. GROUP B Inclusion Criteria: * Information and signed informed consent. * female, acting voluntarily, aged between 18 and 48 years at the time of recruitment. * body mass index (BMI): ≥ 18 kg/m2 and ≤ 35 kg/m2. * Patients undergoing an assisted reproduction cycle. * Endometrial thickness \< 5mm despite estrogen administration for more than 10 days and/or evidence of Asherman's Syndrome. Exclusion Criteria: * Active genital infection proven at the time of recruitment; chronic endometritis. * Known endometrial pathology. * Psychological disorder that may hinder study follow-up. * Positive results after viral safety analysis (HBsAg, HBcAb, HCV, HIV1, HIV2, syphilis). * Presenting any syndrome or condition that, from the principal investigator's point of view, could pose a risk to the study or to the patient. * Any significant clinical anomaly detected during the recruitment process; simultaneous participation in another clinical study that could affect the objectives of the present study or previous participation in this same study.
