Clinical Trials for Exosomes of Various Stem Cell Sources.
Condition Treated | Phase | Patient Group | Type of MSC-Exos | Dosage | Administration Method | Main Outcomes | Trial Reference |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
CKD Stage 3 and 4 | Phase II/III | Stage 3 and 4 CKD patients | HUCMSC-Exos | 100 mcg/kg weekly for two weeks | Intravenous and intra-arterial | Improvement in glomerular filtration rate, reduction in blood creatinine and urea levels | [208] |
Skin hyperpigmentation | Not specified | Individuals with hyperpigmentation | ADSC-Exos | 0.2 g of ADSC-exos twice a day for 8 weeks | Local | Short-term improvement in hyperpigmentation through reduction in melanin; however, followed by relapses | [207] |
AIS | Phase I/II | AIS patients | miR-124-transfected MSC-Exos | Not specified | Intraparenchymal or stereotaxis | Incidence of treatment-emergent adverse events and improvement based on the modified Rankin Scale; evaluation of AIS patient disability. | [210] |
Mild-to-moderate Alzheimer’s, dementia | Phase I/II | Patients with mild-to-moderate Alzheimer’s based on NIA/Aa | Adipose Tissue-Derived Exosomes | Low dose (5 mcg); Medium dose (10 mcg); High dose (20 mcg) twice a week | Nasal drip | Number of participants with abnormal laboratory values and adverse events by CTCAE v4.0 at 12 weeks. Cognitive function, quality of life evaluation, MRI neuroimaging, PET-CT neuroimaging, and changes in AD biomarkers are secondary outcomes. | [211,212] |
COVID-19 | Phase I | PCR-confirmed COVID-19 patients | MSC-exos | 5 inhalation doses over 5 days | Inhalation | Adverse reaction and severe adverse reaction up to 28 days. | [207,213] |
