A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This trial investigates the safety and efficacy of intravenous infusions of cultured allogeneic adult umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cells in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Participants will receive a single infusion of 100 million stem cells and will be monitored for safety and effectiveness at various intervals over a period of up to four years. The study aims to assess the potential of this innovative treatment approach in improving outcomes for RA patients.
