The Institute of Cell Therapy is also a co-executor of European Union Horizon projects.
In 2008, the Institute of Cell Therapy became one of the first medical institutions in our country to receive permission from the Coordination Center for Organ, Tissue and Cell Transplantation of the Ministry of Health of Ukraine to conduct clinical trials using human stem cells.
During the recent 13 years, the Institute of Cell Therapy in cooperation with leading research institutions of the National Academy of Medical Sciences of Ukraine and National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine has successfully completed clinical trials for the treatment of chronic lower extremity ischemia, pancreatic necrosis, keratitis of infectious and neurotrophic etiology. Methods of treatment of chronic ischemia of the lower extremities and pancreatic necrosis with the use of umbilical cord blood stem cells in 2012 were officially approved by the Ministry of Health of Ukraine.
Today, the Institute of Cell Therapy is a co-sponsor of clinical trials in the treatment of osteoarthritis, COVID-19 pneumonia, contractile heart disease, ischemic cardiomyopathy, diabetic peripheral neuropathy, peripheral arteries and trophic ulcers of the lower extremities. The only manufacturer of cell drugs for the treatment of patients with the above diseases is Cryobank of the Institute of Cell Therapy.
