ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is looking at a treatment called UCMSC-Exo to help patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) who experience low blood cell counts due to chemotherapy. This condition, known as myelosuppression, can lead to problems like infections and bleeding. The trial aims to see if UCMSC-Exo is safe and effective for patients who have completed their initial chemotherapy and are now receiving follow-up treatment.

To participate in this study, individuals must be between 18 and 60 years old, have been diagnosed with AML and achieved complete remission after initial treatment, and meet certain health criteria. Participants can expect to receive close monitoring and care throughout the trial. It's important to note that those with specific health issues or recent treatments may not be eligible to join. This trial is currently recruiting participants, and anyone interested should discuss it with their healthcare provider to learn more.
