About this trial

The purpose of this study is to test if adding one infusion of (Human Mesenchymal Stem Cells) hMSCs to the treatment with standard of care (SOC) monoclonal antibodies (mAb) will stabilize the rate of cognitive and functional decline associated with mild Alzheimer's Disease.

Change in Alzheimer's Disease Scale-Cognitive Subscale (ADAS-Cog)

The Alzheimer's Disease Assessment Scale-Cognitive Subscale (ADAS-Cog-11) is a validated performance-based instrument used to assess the severity of cognitive impairment in individuals with Alzheimer's disease. The scale evaluates multiple cognitive domains, including memory, reasoning, language, orientation, ideational praxis, and constructional praxis. Spoken language, language comprehension, word-finding ability, and the ability to remember instructions are also assessed. Scores range from 0 to 70, with higher scores indicating greater cognitive impairment.

Time frame
Baseline, Week 16, Week 32, and Week 48

Change in Alzheimer's Disease Cooperative Study Activities of Daily Living Inventory for Mild Cognitive Impairment (ADCS-MCI -ADL)

The Alzheimer's Disease Cooperative Study Activities of Daily Living Inventory for Mild Cognitive Impairment (ADCS-MCI-ADL) is an 18-item caregiver-reported instrument assessing basic and instrumental daily activities. Total scores range from 0 to 57, with higher scores indicating greater functional independence.
