Must have
Diagnosed with mild to moderate dementia for at least 3 months prior to enrollment based on NINDS-ADRDA Alzheimer's criteria
MMSE between 12-24 at time of enrollment

History of intracranial, subdural, or subarachnoid hemorrhage

Timeline
Screening 3 weeks
Treatment Varies
Follow Up 18 months

Summary

This trial will test the safety and tolerability of hMSCs in people with Alzheimer's-related dementia. It will also assess the preliminary efficacy of hMSCs in people with Alzheimer's-related dementia, as evidenced by neurologic, functional, and psychiatric endpoints.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for individuals aged 55-80 with mild to moderate Alzheimer's dementia, confirmed by specific criteria and a positive amyloid PET scan. Candidates must have been diagnosed at least 3 months prior. Those with recent cancer (except certain skin cancers), brain tumors, stem cell treatments, seizures, recent heart attacks, CADASIL syndrome or significant brain hemorrhage history cannot participate.
What is being tested?
The study is testing the safety and potential effectiveness of allogeneic human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) compared to placebo in improving neurological function in Alzheimer's patients. Participants will receive either hMSCs or placebo intravenously and be monitored for changes in their cognitive and psychiatric health.
What are the potential side effects?
While the main goal is to assess safety, possible side effects may include reactions at the infusion site, allergic responses, fever or chills. Since this treatment involves stem cells administered intravenously, there might also be risks related to immune system reactions.
