Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study is designed to investigate the safety of Umbilical Cord Blood Plasma infusions in elderly adults regardless of gender, with age-related cognitive decline. Human clinical data of the use of young plasma appear to show beneficial cognitive effects.
