Unproven cell therapies are not just a threat to patients. They threaten the entire field.

Clinics selling unproven, unregulated cell therapies exploit patient hope, expose patients to serious harm, undermine public trust, and divert patients from legitimate clinical trials.

Regulatory oversight is not the enemy of patient access. It is essential to demonstrating safety and efficacy. The cell therapy community must do more than condemn bad actors. We need better patient communication, stronger enforcement, rigorous clinical evidence, and sustainable access to treatments that work.
