HBPCOVID02 Trial Summary

This trial will study if a treatment involving injecting stem cells can help people with chronic symptoms after contracting Covid-19.

Who is the study for?
Adults aged 18-70 with Chronic Post-COVID-19 Syndrome for at least 12 weeks, experiencing new or worsened neurological symptoms like extreme fatigue and brain fog. Must not be pregnant, planning pregnancy, or donating sperm/eggs within six months post-trial. No ongoing infections, active malignancies, recent stem cell treatments (except Hope Biosciences), or experimental drugs in the last year.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial is testing HB-adMSCs—allogeneic stem cells—against a placebo to treat Chronic Post-COVID-19 Syndrome. Participants will receive four intravenous injections over ten weeks and attend follow-up visits until week 26.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
While specific side effects of HB-adMSCs are not listed here, similar treatments may cause immune reactions, infusion-related discomfort, and potential risks associated with intravenous procedures.
