These are diseases for which Stem Cell treatments have not been proven to have any efficacy in human beings. In a “Phase I” clinical trial, the purpose of the study is to find out if the therapy makes any difference in the course of the disease, as compared to a control group. Some doctors may also be giving Stem Cells to patients in experiments outside of clinical trials, but in the United States such experiments are subject to limitations imposed by FDA regulations. This category also covers experiments in the laboratory, either with cell cultures or animals.
