August 7, 2025 updated by: Cell Energy Life Sciences Group Co. LTD

A Double-blind, Randomized Placebo-controlled Clinical Trial to Investigate the Safety and Efficacy of Mesenchymal Stem Cells Treatment for AIDS Patients at Late Stage

The goal of this study is to conduct a prospective, double-blind, randomized placebo-controlled clinical trial to investigate the safety and efficacy of mesenchymal stem cells treatment for AIDS patients at late stage.

Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.
Recruiting

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) possess immunomodulatory, anti-inflammatory, and regenerative properties. The safety and effectiveness of MSCs have been investigated in various clinical trials for the treatment of several disorders, including graft-versushost disease, inflammatory bowel disease, and multiple sclerosis. It has been reported that MSC treatment in HIV-infected patients with immunological nonresponders resulted in a significant increase in circulating CD4+ T lymphocytes and a decrease of the activation of T lymphocytes and soluble inflammation mediator levels without significant adverse effects or loss of viremia control. However, the therapeutic efficacy of MSC treatment for AIDS patients at late stage is not well-understood. This study aims to investigate the safety and efficacy of MSC treatment for AIDS patients at late stage.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study
