Submit a Clinic for Review

Have you seen an advertisement for a stem cell clinic or other stem cell treatment provider and want to know more about it?

The ISSCR is developing lists of clinics and other service providers that claim to offer stem cell treatments. The lists will tell you whether the clinics do or do not provide the ISSCR with evidence that appropriate oversight and other patient protections are in place for the treatments they offer. The ISSCR will not review clinics that only offer stem cell treatments for certain diseases of the blood by bone marrow transplantation, skin grafting following burns, or limbal stem cell transplantation for corneal injury. The ISSCR will not review sites that do not advertise in English at this time.

The ISSCR will ask clinics and entities offering stem cell treatments to supply evidence for each disease or condition they treat that:

1. A medical ethics committee was involved to protect the rights of a patient
2. There is supervision by an official regulatory body such as the European Medicines Agency (EMA) or the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)

The ISSCR asks for your patience as we build this resource.

There is necessarily a significant period of time, estimated at 4-5 months, from when you fill in the form for a specific clinic until when that clinic might appear on one of the lists. This allows a reasonable time for each clinic to reply to the ISSCR's inquiry. The ISSCR will not be able to answer questions about individual stem cell treatments or providers nor update you on the status of a particular inquiry.
