Purified Exosome Product (PEP) Injected Into the Hypodermis

Description

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.

  • * Major surgery in past 3 months.
  • * If taking hormone replacement therapy or hormones for birth control, dose must be stable for at least 6 months prior to study entry.

  • * Participants with poorly controlled diabetes mellitus (HbA1C ≥ 8%).
  • * Any active condition in the treatment area, such as sores, psoriasis, eczema, and rash.
  • * History of skin disorders, keloids, abnormal wound healing, as well as very dry and fragile skin.
