Human Mesenchymal Stem Cells & Monoclonal Antibodies in the Treatment for Mild Cognitive Impairment or Early Alzheimer's Disease.
About this study
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.

Inclusion 10
- Minimum age: 55 years
- Maximum age: 90 years
- Study condition: Mild Cognitive Impairment, Early Alzheimer's Disease, AD-MCI
- Adults 55-90 years at the time of signing consent
- Patients diagnosed with Mild Cognitive Impairment or mild Dementia due to Alzheimer disease, receiving treatment with an FDA approved monoclonal antibody (Leqembi/Lecanemab or Kisunla/Donanemab) for at least 6 months prior to the infusion visit.
- MMSE score 20-26.
- Patients must be able to consent.
- Have a family member or friend (study partner) who has frequent and sufficient contact with the patient and is able to answer questions about the participant's daily activities to complete the ADCS-MCI-ADL.
- Completing this scale is required to assess the impact of the study intervention on cognitive function and daily living skills in this patient population.
- Having a study partner is a requirement of this study.
Exclusion 11
- Dementia other than AD
- Patient with severe depression. Patients with controlled depression are allowed to participate.

- History of bleeding disorder
- Currently receiving (or received within four weeks of screening) experimental agents for the treatment of Alzheimer's Disease or enrolled in clinical trials in the prior 3 months.
- Be a transplant recipient or in any other active medical condition than in the opinion of the investigator may compromise the safety or compliance of the patient or preclude successful completion of the study
