Registered clinical trials
Studies registered on ClinicalTrials.gov that list Thymosin Beta-4 as an intervention. Studies that only measure the molecule as a biomarker, or use it only as a comparator or background arm for another drug, are excluded. A registration describes a planned or completed protocol; it does not report a result. Active studies are listed first.
