Study Requirements
The study procedures begin during your inpatient stay at Tufts Medical Center and then you are asked to come for 15 visits at the study site, after discharge from the hospital, over the period of about 1 year and 6 months.
After the last infusion of study drug (Week 48), you will come to the site 3 more times to see how you are doing since the intervention was stopped.
The study procedures include physical and neurological exams, taking of your vital signs (blood pressure, heart rate, and temperature), ECGs (a test which records the electrical activity of your heart), urine tests for illegally used drugs and alcohol abuse, CT Scan and MRIs (tests to make pictures of your brain), blood draws, and several assessments and scales.
