NCT06877377

Brief Summary

This pilot randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study evaluates the safety and efficacy of the hDNAgr technology aimed at natural genome reconstruction in hematopoietic stem cells in adults aged 45-65. The study hypothesizes that administering fragmented therapeutic double-stranded DNA will safely correct localized genomic damage-including telomere elongation-enhance hematopoietic function by restoring polyclonality and increasing reparative potential, and ultimately rejuvenate blood and bone marrow to potentially lower the patient's biological age. The primary endpoint is safety and tolerability, assessed by the frequency and severity of adverse events, while secondary endpoints focus on telomere length, hematological parameters, aging and inflammation biomarkers, functional health measures, and preliminary biological age evaluations. Sixty participants (30 in the hDNAgr group and 30 receiving placebo) will be observed over a 6-month period with multiple scheduled visits.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Incidence of Any Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (Safety and Tolerability) in Male Participants Receiving hDNAgr Therapy

    The primary endpoint is the frequency and severity of adverse events (AEs) and serious adverse events (SAEs) observed in participants receiving hDNAgr therapy versus placebo. Safety will be assessed at each study visit through medical examinations, laboratory evaluations, and participant-reported outcomes.

    180 days

Secondary Outcomes (12)

  • Change in Telomere Length

    180 days

  • Hemoglobin Level (g/dL)

    180 days

  • Red Blood Cell (RBC) Count (×10^12/L)

    180 days

  • White Blood Cell (WBC) Count (×10^9/L)

    180 days

  • WBC Differential (%)

Study Arms (2)

Experimental: hDNAgr Technology

EXPERIMENTAL

Participants in this arm will receive the hDNAgr therapy, a novel approach using fragmented double-stranded DNA designed to correct damaged genomic regions in hematopoietic stem cells and elongate telomeres. The treatment is administered according to the protocol schedule (Visits at Day 0, 14, 28, 60, 90, and 180), and all relevant safety and efficacy parameters (adverse events, hematological markers, telomere length, and potential aging biomarkers) are assessed throughout the 6-month follow-up period.

Biological: hDNAgr Therapy

Placebo Comparator: Inactive Formulation

PLACEBO COMPARATOR

Participants in this arm will receive an inactive placebo formulation, identical in appearance to the hDNAgr therapy but lacking the active DNA fragments. This ensures blinding for both subjects and investigators. The same follow-up schedule (Visits at Day 0, 14, 28, 60, 90, and 180) and assessments (adverse events, hematological markers, telomere length, and aging biomarkers) are conducted, enabling direct comparison to the experimental arm.

Other: Placebo

Interventions

hDNAgr TherapyBIOLOGICAL

A novel investigational therapy that uses fragmented therapeutic double-stranded DNA, designed to correct or replace locally damaged genomic regions in hematopoietic stem cells and elongate telomeres. The hDNAgr therapy is administered according to the study protocol schedule (Visits at Day 0, 14, 28, 60, 90, and 180), with blood draws and safety evaluations at each time point to assess hematological parameters, telomere length, and potential impacts on biological aging.

Experimental: hDNAgr Technology
PlaceboOTHER

An inactive formulation identical in appearance to the hDNAgr therapy but lacking the active DNA fragments. It is administered under the same schedule and conditions as the experimental intervention to maintain blinding and enable comparison of safety and efficacy outcomes.

Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:
