To understand the growing market potential for stem cell therapies, it is critical to consider the current landscape for stem cell clinical trials.
There are 5561 clinical trials found when the term “stem cells” is searched on ClinicalTrials.gov, indicating that there are now thousands of stem cell trials underway worldwide. (Search executed November 7, 2016.)
ClinicalTrials.gov is the global registry of publicly and privately supported clinical studies involving human patients. While not a comprehensive resource, it contains approximately three-quarters of registered cell therapy trials worldwide.
Below is a map showing the location of current stem cell clinical trials.

Clearly, North America (3057 trials) and Europe (1288 trials) are “hotspots” for stem cell clinical trial activity.
Among the North American trials, nearly all of them of them are occurring in the United States (2935). [Read more…]
