RECRUITING

Human Mesenchymal Stem Cells (hMSC) in Behavioral Problems Due to Alzheimer's Disease.

Conditions

Alzheimer Disease Agitation in Dementia aggression behavior agitation

Quick Navigation

Study Overview

This clinical trial focuses on testing the efficacy of different digital interventions to promote re-engagement in cancer-related long-term follow-up care for adolescent and young adult (AYA) survivors of childhood cancer.

Description

The purpose of this research study is to test if adding one infusion of mesenchymal stem cells to the current treatment with antipsychotic medication may help control behavioral problems in people with a diagnosis of moderate to severe Alzheimer's disease.

Official Title

A Pilot Study to Assess the Effect of Adding 1 Infusion of Human Mesenchymal Stem Cells (hMSC) to the Treatment of Patients Suffering Agitation/Aggression or Other Behavioral Abnormalities From Alzheimer's Disease.
