Jumeirah American Clinic

This study investigates the safety and efficacy of stem cell or stem cell-derived exosome therapy for gonadal failure, including testicular failure, hypogonadism, ovarian insufficiency, and premature ovarian failure (POF). Conducted at First IVF Clinic, Dubai, it will include 60 participants (30 males, 30 females) aged 20-50 years who have not responded to conventional treatments such as HRT, TRT, or ART.
Participants will receive intra-gonadal (testicular or ovarian) injections of stem cells or exosomes, with follow-ups at 3, 6, 9, and 12 months to monitor hormonal changes, gonadal function, and potential adverse effects. The study aims to determine whether regenerative therapy can restore hormone production, enhance reproductive function, and regenerate gonadal tissue, providing a novel, culturally appropriate fertility treatment in the UAE, where donor sperm and eggs are not permitted.
By bridging the gap between preclinical research and clinical application, this study could offer new hope to individuals with gonadal failure, advancing the field of regenerative reproductive medicine.

The goal of this prospective observational study is to evaluate whether injections of stem cells derived from the patient's own fat tissue (adipose tissue) can improve erectile function in men aged 30 to 75 who have erectile dysfunction (ED) and have not responded well to standard treatments like PDE-5 inhibitors (e.g., Viagra).
The main questions the study aims to answer are:
Will the stem cell injections improve erectile function, as measured by the International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF) score? Are there any changes in blood flow to the penis, which will be measured using a Doppler ultrasound?
Participants will:
Receive injections of their own stem cells (obtained from a biopsy of fat) directly into the penis.
Undergo assessments to check erectile function before and after treatment. Have follow-up visits at 3, 6, 9, and 12 months to monitor long-term effects. The study will also look for any possible side effects or complications and evaluate biological markers in the penis that may indicate the effectiveness of the treatment.
Participants will be recruited from clinic where they are already receiving care for ED. To take part, they must be in good overall health, with no severe heart disease, uncontrolled diabetes, cancer, or other conditions that could make stem cell therapy unsafe for them.
