Study summary

The study is open to patients with severe forms of male infertility (non-obstructive disorders of spermatogenesis, including azoospermia).

The Phase I/II clinical trial is being conducted at the Lomonosov Moscow State University and is aimed at studying the efficacy and safety of the innovative drug "MediReg® (Human Mesenchymal Stromal Cell Secretome)", lyophilizate for preparation of solution for injection, 1.0 ml/dose for treatment of male infertility. The study was approved by the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation. The study is planned to include men aged 21 to 60 years with severe spermatogenesis disorders manifested as severe oligoasthenoteratozoospermia (OAT), non-obstructive azoospermia, high sperm DNA fragmentation (30% and more) and faced with the inability to conceive, including with the help of assisted reproductive technologies within 12 months from the date of diagnosis The aim of the therapy is to improve the spermogram indicators in order to increase the chances of successful use of assisted reproductive technologies.

The drug is injected once under the protein sheath of both testicles. Observation in 1 week after the drug administration is carried out in hospital. Follow-up is performed by outpatient visits to the research center.

The clinical trial is planned to enroll at least 80 adult patients aged 21 to 60 years with severe spermatogenesis disorders The study will include 3 periods:Screening Period - Day -15...0.

, Period of study drug administration and inpatient follow-up - Day 1 through Day 7., Follow-up period - through Day 90.

The total duration of participation in the study, including the screening period and the follow-up period, will not exceed 119 days. After the end of the study period, the study will be followed up for 1 year to record delayed adverse events.

Terms in these criteria, in plain language(7)

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.

Informed consent

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.

Contraception

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.

Corticosteroids (steroids)

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.

HIV

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 tests

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.

NYHA class (heart failure)

The New York Heart Association’s four classes of how much heart failure limits physical activity.

I
No limits: ordinary activity causes no undue tiredness or breathlessness.
II
Slight limits: comfortable at rest, ordinary activity causes symptoms.
III
Marked limits: comfortable at rest, less than ordinary activity causes symptoms.
IV
Symptoms even at rest; any activity makes them worse.

Studies set their own limit — many outside heart failure leave out class III–IV, while heart failure studies may ask for a particular class. Check the class this study names.

Hypersensitivity

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.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Mar 11, 2025, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
