How many stem-cell trials for Osteoporosis & Bone Health are recruiting right now?
As of 2026-08-29: 2 open studies against 14 registrations overall, or 14% of the historical total.
Who these studies will actually take
Trials use DXA T-score thresholds, prior-fracture criteria and often require a washout from bisphosphonates, whose skeletal effects persist for years. That washout is a common reason people cannot enrol.

What recruiting does and does not mean
The status field tracks paperwork, not promise. What matters underneath it is the eligibility list, the outcome measures the sponsor committed to, and whether a site near you is actually enrolling, all of which sit on the registry record itself.
Sites sit in 10 countries, led by United States. Travelling for a trial rarely works unless the site has confirmed in writing that it can enrol non-residents and fund the follow-up schedule.
