Study Summary

This trial seeks to test whether using cells from one's own fat can help treat Alzheimer's.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for individuals aged 45-80 with mild to moderate Alzheimer's Disease, who can donate their own fat tissue for treatment and have a caregiver. Participants should be in good health, with stable medications for other conditions, and no recent cancer or stem cell treatments.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests the safety of RB-ADSC, a new therapy using participants' own fat-derived cells to treat Alzheimer's. It aims to see if this approach is safe and how it affects the disease symptoms.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since RB-ADSC uses the participant's own cells, side effects may be limited but could include reactions at the donation or injection site, potential immune responses, or unforeseen impacts on cognitive functions.

How many individuals are being enrolled to participate in this research?

"Yes, the latest information from clinicaltrials.gov shows that this study is actively seeking participants. It was initially posted on August 14th 2023 and most recently updated on August 17th 2023. 18 patients are being recruited at 1 site in total."

Answered by AI

Does this study still have openings for willing participants?

"Confirmed. Data hosted on clinicaltrials.gov declares that, since the trial's initial posting of August 14th 2023, it has been actively recruiting for 18 patients at 1 site. The information was most recently updated 7 days ago on 8/17/2023."

Answered by AI

To what extent is RB-ADSC low dose considered a safe treatment for individuals?

"There is only a small amount of evidence concerning the safety and efficacy of RB-ADSC low dose, so it received a score of 1."

Answered by AI

Is eligibility for this clinical trial currently open to new applicants?

"This medical intervention requires 18 individuals between 45 and 80 years of age who are currently diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease. Moreover, these participants must possess adequate cognitive functioning, have no tumors or other diseases that could lead to dementia, display well-controlled comorbidities whilst being on stable medications for 3 months; be in good health overall; have a relative/caregiver present during the trial; and donate an ample amount of lipoaspirate to finish off the study."

Why did patients apply to this trial?

It came up on Facebook. I have memory problems and also confusion from time to time. I was diagnosed with MS when I was in my late 20s. No exacerbations since my 30s. I have some residual symptoms, but nothing more. I am 77 years old and now I can sense some residual symptoms. That’s it! I may not be fit for this trial, but I thought I would try anyway. I might be of some interest to you for research.
