Patient Information:
• Age: 81 years
• Diagnosis: Parkinson’s disease
• Objective: Reduce neuroinflammation, modulate immune response, support neuronal regeneration, and improve motor and cognitive functions.
Treatment Plan
1. Pre-Treatment Preparation (1-2 weeks before cell therapy)
• Comprehensive diagnostics:
• Neurological assessment (UPDRS, MMSE, MRI, PET scan if available)
• Blood tests (inflammatory markers, cytokine levels, immune profiling)
• Cardiovascular evaluation
• Optimization of patient’s condition:
• Adjust current medications if necessary
• Dietary and lifestyle recommendations to reduce oxidative stress
2. T-Regulatory Cell Therapy (Day 1-2)
• Source: Donor-derived T-reg cells, expanded ex vivo
• Dose: 10–50 million cells intravenously (IV)
• Mechanism of Action:
• Suppresses excessive neuroinflammation
• Balances immune response and reduces autoimmunity
• Protects dopaminergic neurons from further damage
• Expected Immediate Effects:
• Reduced neuroinflammatory response
• Potential improvement in motor control
3. Mesenchymal Stem Cell (MSC) Therapy (Day 3-5)
• Source: Wharton’s Jelly-derived MSCs
• Dose: 50–150 million cells IV + additional intrathecal (IT) injection if indicated
• Mechanism of Action:
• Secretes neurotrophic factors (BDNF, GDNF) that support neuronal survival
• Enhances neurogenesis and synaptic plasticity
• Reduces oxidative stress and apoptosis in neurons
• Modulates immune response in synergy with T-reg cells
• Potential Routes of Administration:
• Intravenous (IV) – systemic anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective effects
• Intrathecal (IT) – direct delivery to the CNS to enhance neuronal repair
4. Post-Treatment Monitoring (Weeks 1-12)
• Clinical evaluations at weeks 2, 4, 8, and 12
• Blood tests to assess inflammatory markers and immune modulation
• Neurological assessments (UPDRS, cognitive tests) to track improvement
Expected Outcomes
Short-Term (1-3 months):
• Reduced neuroinflammation leading to potential stabilization of disease progression
• Improved motor function, including better gait and reduced rigidity
• Cognitive benefits, such as enhanced clarity and memory
Mid-Term (3-6 months):
• Neuronal regeneration and possible mild functional recovery
• Increased dopamine activity due to neurotrophic support
• Better energy levels and quality of life
Long-Term (6+ months):
• Potential delay in disease progression
• Sustained neuroprotection and improved daily functioning
• Need for maintenance therapy depending on patient’s response
Conclusion
This combination therapy with donor T-regulatory cells and mesenchymal stem cells aims to reduce neuroinflammation, protect neurons, and promote neuroregeneration in an 81-year-old patient with Parkinson’s disease. While individual responses may vary, this approach has the potential to stabilize symptoms, improve mobility and cognitive function, and enhance overall well-being.
