Recruiting NA Trauma Injury

New treatment option for Trauma Injury

Official title Hematopoietic Stem Cell Dysfunction in the Elderly After Severe Injury

ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT02577731

What this study is testing

What it's testing
Traumatic injury is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in young adults, and remains a substantial economic and health care burden. Despite decades of promising preclinical and clinical investigations in trauma, investigators understanding of these entities is still incomplete, and few therapies have shown success.

A plain-language read of the study's public ClinicalTrials.gov listing. The study team confirms the details.
