A Phase 1, Open-Label, Prospective, Dose-finding Clinical Trial for Evaluation of Safety and Tolerability of Intramuscular Injections of CLZ-2002 for the Treatment of Subjects with Charcot-Marie-Tooth type 1(CMT 1)
This study is the First In Human (FIH) clinical trial for evaluating the safety and tolerability of IM injections of CLZ-2002 in patients with Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (CMT) Type 1.
CLZ-2002 is the allogeneic mesenchymal stem cell-derived Neuronal Regeneration Promoting Cells. These cells are Schwann cell-like cells differentiated from tonsillar mesenchymal stem cells. CLZ-2002 helps the remyelination of the damaged peripheral nerves by restoring the myelin sheaths. It also induces the nerve regeneration and myelination pathways in the sciatic nerve and restores abnormal muscle tissues in Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 1 (CMT1).
113 studies on the registry are indexed under Charcot-Marie-Tooth Disease; 37 are open to participants now.
This study's enrollment of 9 is below the median of 41 across 62 interventional studies indexed under Charcot-Marie-Tooth Disease.

Exclusion Criteria:
Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.
Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.
You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.
An allergy, or another reaction of the immune system, to a substance. “Hypersensitivity to the study drug” means a known allergic reaction to it — not every side effect a medicine can have.
A “mini-stroke”: temporary stroke-like symptoms caused by reduced blood flow to part of the brain, spinal cord or eye, without signs of a new stroke on a scan.
Stroke symptoms need emergency care at once, even if they go away.
The human immunodeficiency virus, which weakens the immune system.
Many studies now accept people whose HIV is controlled on treatment, judged by the viral load and the CD4 count. Check the limits this study sets.
Hepatitis B is a virus that infects the liver. These are separate tests: HBsAg positive usually means a current infection (a recent vaccination can briefly cause it too); total anti-HBc (HBcAb) positive means an infection now or in the past; HBV DNA measures how much virus is in the blood.
Some studies accept a past infection if HBV DNA is undetectable, sometimes with antiviral medicine during the study. Check what this study allows.
Hepatitis C is a virus that infects the liver. An HCV antibody test can stay positive after an infection has cleared (and is occasionally positive without one); an HCV RNA test shows whether the virus is there now.
After treatment, hepatitis C counts as cured when HCV RNA is still undetectable 12 weeks or more after the treatment ended. Studies often accept people cured this way.
Anti-inflammatory medicines such as prednisone, prednisolone and dexamethasone — not the anabolic steroids used for muscle.
Studies differ in what they allow: check which steroid medicines, routes (tablets, injections, creams, inhalers, eye drops) and doses this study accepts.
Able to become pregnant: from the first period until menopause, unless permanently unable to through surgery (removal of the womb, or of both ovaries or both fallopian tubes).
Criteria for people of childbearing potential usually ask for a negative pregnancy test and for contraception during the study and for a time after it.
Ways of preventing pregnancy. “Highly effective” methods fail less than 1% of the time a year when used correctly — for example an IUD or an implant.
Criteria usually say which methods count and how long to keep using them after the last dose, sometimes for male participants too. Some studies accept a partner’s vasectomy if it was confirmed successful and that person is the participant’s only sexual partner.
