Purified Exosome Product (PEP) Injected Into the Hypodermis

Completed · Phase 1

Conditions studied: Safety

In brief

This clinical trial aims to characterize the safety, tolerability, and histological profile of PEP (Purified Exosome Product) when injected into the hypodermis of healthy adults. The main questions this study aims to answer are: Is PEP safe and tolerable when injected into the hypodermis of healthy adults? Subjects will serve as their own control and researchers will compare PEP to Control to see if PEP is safe.
