Key information made simple

This study is comparing Allogeneic Bone Marrow Derived Multipotent Mesenchymal Stromal Cells (MSCs) with placebo for people with Treatment-resistant Bipolar Depression. Participants receive Allogeneic Bone Marrow Derived Multipotent Mesenchymal Stromal Cells (MSCs) or placebo and complete study visits and assessments. Some participants may receive placebo instead of the study treatment, and direct benefit is not guaranteed.

What to expect

Your next step

The official record suggests in-person participation through a university, with sites including The University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston. Participation appears to involve a study treatment together with follow-up visits and routine safety or progress checks. The main fit is usually matching the main diagnosis, while common reasons not to take part include safety concerns that need urgent care first and pregnancy or breastfeeding. This is an early-stage study, which usually means a smaller group and a focus on learning how the approach behaves.
