STEMCAP-1 Trial Summary

This trial will test if an infusion of a specific type of cells can help reduce pain in people with chronic pancreatitis. It will also study how these cells work to reduce pain.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for individuals with chronic pancreatitis who experience ongoing pain. Participants should be adults who meet specific health criteria and have not responded well to standard pain treatments.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study is testing the safety and effectiveness of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) derived from bone marrow in reducing chronic pancreatitis pain, compared to a placebo.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects may include reactions at the infusion site, fever, allergic responses, or body aches. The full range of side effects will be studied.
