Clinical Study of Regulatory T Cells (Tregs) in the Treatment of Neurodegenerative Diseases

Korábbi kezelés

• Clinically significant cardiology, defined as: myocardial infarction, NYHA-graded class III or IV heart failure, uncontrolled angina, severe uncontrolled ventricular arrhythmia, or ECG evidence of acute ischemia or abnormal conduction system within 6 months prior to enrollment;
• Treatment with another investigational drug, biologic, or device within 30 days or 5 half-lives (whichever is longer) of the screening period. Patient participation in observational/non-interventional clinical studies will be discussed with the Medical Monitor;
• Prior treatment with ALS gene or cell therapy;
• Current use of antipsychotics, antiepileptic drugs (except benzodiazepines, gabapentin, pre-Bahrain) or class 1 (e.g., flecainide) or class 3 (e.g., amiodarone) antiarrhythmic drugs;

Más betegség

• uncontrolled infection;
• < 3 drugs do not adequately control hypertension;
• Documented history of pulmonary embolism within 6 months of enrollment;
• Patients with a history of coronary artery bypass grafting or angioplasty will be evaluated by cardiology and considered on a case-by-case basis;
• Seropositive for HIV, hepatitis B or hepatitis C;
• History of clinically significant tumor, liver or kidney disease, or other uncontrolled disease;
