简要总结

Dementia resulting from AD is associated with vascular function decline and involves a pro-inflammatory state. In our Phase 1 trial, Lomecel-B treatment met the primary safety endpoint, with no safety concerns, and showed potential to improve clinical assessments. Mechanistically, Lomecel-B treated subjects had higher serum concentrations of pro-vascular and anti-inflammatory biomarkers relative to placebo. This trial builds upon those preliminary Phase 1 results, and is designed to evaluate the safety profile of multiple infusions of Lomecel-B, and to investigate provisional efficacy of single dosing versus multiple dosing of Lomecel-B on cognitive function and biomarkers in AD subjects.

  • Brain MRI consistent with AD.
  • A PET scan using an FDA-approved tracer (e.g., AMYViD, Vizamyl, or Neuraceq) consistent with the diagnosis of AD. A prior positive PET scan will be allowed with Sponsor approval.

  • Any other neurodegenerative disease.
  • History of a seizure disorder.
  • Evidence of: a prior macrohemorrhage; at least 4 cerebral microhemorrhages (regardless of anatomical location or diagnostic characterization as "possible" or "definite"); or at least 1 area of superficial siderosis.
  • Unwillingness or inability to have MRIs scans (no contrasting agent will be used), or condition that contraindicates MRI, such as the presence metallic objects in the eyes, skin, or heart.
  • Any conditions that contraindicates PET with a beta-amyloid tracer.
  • Significant intestinal malabsorption surgery, e.g., gastric bypass.

  • Regularly (> 4 weeks) using high-doses of corticosteroids or other steroidal anti-inflammatory medication (e.g., Prednisone) on a regular basis, with the exception of steroidal nasal sprays, asthma inhalers, topical steroids, and hormonal-replacement therapy.
  • Regularly (> 4 weeks) using anti-cytokine antibody or targeting therapy, e.g., anti-TNF-α.

  • Be currently participating in any other investigational therapeutic or device trial, or have participated within one within the previous 30 days to screening, or in the opinion of the investigator, the patient should be excluded for such participation within the past 5 years.
  • In the opinion of the investigator, the patient has any other illness or condition that: may compromise the participant's safety, compliance, or ability to successfully complete the study; may compromise the validity of the study; or otherwise should exclude the participant from enrollment.
