    3. Screening score of 0.5 or 1.0 on the Clinical Dementia Rating Global Score (CDR-GS) and Screening score ≥0.5 on the CDR Memory Box score
    4. Evidence of cerebral amyloid accumulation by either PET scan or CSF
  • If using cholinesterase inhibitors or memantine to treat symptoms related to AD, doses must be stable for at least three months (12 weeks) prior to Baseline and every attempt should be made to keep them at stable doses throughout the study
  • Must have a reliable informant or study partner who is willing and able to perform all the roles as specified in the study partner Informed Consent Form (ICF)
  • Female participants must be surgically sterile or be at least one-year post-menopausal. Male participants with a female partner of child-bearing potential must use adequate contraception

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Has any contraindications for MRI studies, including claustrophobia, the presence of metal (ferromagnetic) implants, or a cardiac pacemaker that is not compatible with MRI
  • MRI of the brain that is inconsistent with MCI or AD or results showing greater than four ARIA-H, presence of any ARIA-E, or superficial siderosis
  • History of significant or unstable neurological disease, other than AD, which may affect cognition or ability to complete the study, such as other dementias, serious infection of the brain, significant head trauma, uncontrolled seizures, stroke, or Parkinson´s disease
  • Current serious or unstable clinically important illness that, in the judgment of the site investigator, is likely to affect cognitive assessment including visual and hearing impairment or affect the participant's safety or ability to complete the study
  • Malignant disease in the last five years except for resected cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma in situ, basal cell carcinoma, cervical carcinoma in situ, or in situ prostate cancer with a normal posttreatment prostate-specific antibody (PSA)
  • Geriatric Depression Scale-Short Form (GDS-SF) score >10 or current symptoms meeting Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition (DSM-V), criteria for major depressive disorder or any current primary psychiatric diagnosis other than AD if, in the judgment of the site investigator, the psychiatric disorder or symptom is likely to confound interpretation of drug effect, affect cognitive assessments, or affect the participant´s ability to complete the study
  • Suicide risk, as determined by meeting any of the following criteria:

    1. Any suicide attempt or preparatory acts/behavior on the C-SSRS Baseline/Screening in the last six months
    2. Suicidal ideation in the last six months as defined by a positive response to Question 5 (Suicidal Ideation) on the C-SSRS Baseline/Screening
    3. Significant risk of suicide, as judged by the site investigator
  • Conditions that may affect cognitive assessments during the study
  • Alcohol use disorder and/or substance use disorder within the last five years

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Change from Baseline in Integrated Alzheimer's Disease Rating Scale (iADRS) Score
Time Frame: Baseline up to Week 80
iADRS is a validated composite of cognition and function made up of Alzheimer's Disease Assessment Scale - Cognitive Subscale 13-item (ADAS-Cog13) and the Alzheimer's Disease Cooperative Study - instrumental Activities of Daily Living scale (ADCS-iADL). ADAS-Cog13 is a rater-administered instrument consisting of 13 items assessing cognitive function areas most typically impaired in AD. ADAS-Cog13 scores range from 0 to 85, with higher scores indicating a greater deficit of global cognition. The ADCS-iADL is a subset of the 23-item ADCS-ADL (items 6a and 7 to 23). The iADLs are more complex skills required to successfully live independently. iADL-items score ranges from 0 to 59 (lower scores indicating greater impairment). The iADRS is calculated as a linear combination of total scores from the ADAS-Cog13 and ADCS-iADL. The iADRS score ranges from 0 to 144 with lower scores indicating worse performance.
Baseline up to Week 80

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Change from Baseline in ADCS-iADL Score
Time Frame: Baseline up to Week 80
The ADCS-ADL is a 23-item inventory developed as a rater-administered questionnaire to be answered by a participant's study partner, where a participant's performance level is rated over the last 4 weeks, based on a set of performance descriptions. The ADCS-iADL is a subset of the 23-item ADCS-ADL (items 6a and 7 to 23). The iADLs are more complex skills required to successfully live independently, and include shopping, keeping appointments, traveling outside of the home, making a meal or snack, and reading and writing. The iADL-items score ranges from 0 to 59 with lower scores indicating greater impairment.
Baseline up to Week 80
Change from Baseline in ADAS-Cog13 Score

ADAS-Cog is a rater-administered instrument, designed to assess the severity of dysfunction in cognition, characteristic of persons with AD. The ADAS-Cog13, the cognitive subscale of the ADAS, consists of 13 items assessing cognitive function areas most typically impaired in AD: orientation, verbal memory, language, praxis, delayed free recall, and digit cancellation. The scores range from 0 to 85, with higher scores indicating a greater deficit of global cognition.
Baseline up to Week 80
Change from Baseline in Clinical Dementia Rating - Sum of Boxes (CDR-SB)
Time Frame: Baseline up to Week 80
The CDR is obtained through semi-structured interviews of individuals with AD and informants. The ratings are obtained in six domains: memory, orientation, judgment & problem-solving, community affairs, home & hobbies, and personal care. Each domain is rated on a five-point scale of functioning as follows: 0 = no impairment; 0.5 = questionable impairment; 1 = mild impairment; 2 = moderate impairment; and 3 = severe impairment. CDR-SB score is obtained by summing each of the domain scores, with scores ranging from 0 to 18. Higher scores reflect greater cognitive and functional impairment.
Baseline up to Week 80
Change from Baseline in Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE)
Time Frame: Baseline up to Week 80
MMSE is a standard staging and assessment tool in AD, designed for grading the cognitive state of individuals with AD. The scale comprises tasks concerning orientation, memory, attention, language, and praxis to evaluate an individual's cognitive state. MMSE total score ranges from 0 to 30, with lower scores indicative of greater cognitive impairment.
Baseline up to Week 80
Change from Baseline in Quality of Life in Alzheimer's Disease (QoL-AD)
Time Frame: Baseline up to Week 80
The QOL-AD tool is a 13-item assessment with each question scored on a 4-point scale where 1 = poor quality of life and 4 = excellent quality of life. Scores range from 13 to 52 with higher scores indicating better quality of life.
Baseline up to Week 80
Change from Baseline in Neuropsychiatric Inventory Questionnaire (NPI-Q) Score
Time Frame: Baseline up to Week 80
NPI-Q is a validated questionnaire completed by informants about participants for whom they care. Each of the 12 NPI-Q domains contains a survey question (answered in Yes/No) that reflects the cardinal symptoms of that domain. If the domain response is "Yes," the informant then rates the severity of the symptoms present within the last month on a 3-point scale and the distress of the symptom using a 5-point scale. The total NPI-Q severity score is the sum of the individual severity scores for each symptom and ranges from 0 to 36, with higher scores indicating more severe behavioral impairment. The total NPI-Q distress score is the sum of the individual distress scores for each symptom and ranges from 0 to 60, with higher scores indicating greater caregiver distress.
Baseline up to Week 80
Change from Baseline in EuroQoL 5-Dimension 5-Level (EQ-5D-5L)
Time Frame: Baseline up to Week 80
EQ-5D-5L is a self-report survey that measures quality of life. The EQ-5D-5L consists of an EQ-5D descriptive system and EQ visual analog scale (EQ VAS). The descriptive system comprises five dimensions: mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort, and anxiety/depression. Each dimension has five levels, each assigned a unique 1-digit number: no problems, slight problems, moderate problems, severe problems, and extreme problems. The digits are combined into a 5-digit number that describes the participant's health state. The EQ VAS records the participant's health on a vertical visual analog scale, where the endpoints are labeled 0= the best health you can imagine, and 100= the worst health you can imagine.
Baseline up to Week 80
Change from Baseline in Resource Utilization in Dementia (RUD)
Time Frame: Baseline up to Week 80
The RUD questionnaire is a standardized tool and the most widely used instrument for resource use data collection in dementia, enabling comparison of costs of care across countries with differing health care provisions. It is designed to collect data on formal and informal care resource use and to be useful in different care settings, across different countries and care systems, and in both clinical studies and observational cost-of-illness studies.
Baseline up to Week 80
Change from Baseline in Zarit Burden Interview (ZBI)
Time Frame: Baseline up to Week 80
ZBI consists of 22 items. Twenty-one of the items are designed to measure several aspects of burden, whereas Item 22 is a global measure of burden. Response options for each item range from 0-4, and total scores range from 0-88, with higher scores indicating greater self-reported burden.

Percentage of Participants with No Clinical Progression at One Year
Time Frame: Baseline up to Week 80
No clinical progression in participants will be defined as no decline in CDR-SB score. The CDR is obtained through semi-structured interviews of individuals with AD and informants. The ratings are obtained in six domains: memory, orientation, judgment & problem-solving, community affairs, home & hobbies, and personal care. Each domain is rated on a five-point scale of functioning as follows: 0 = no impairment; 0.5 = questionable impairment; 1 = mild impairment; 2 = moderate impairment; and 3 = severe impairment. CDR-SB score is obtained by summing each of the domain scores, with scores ranging from 0 to 18. Higher scores reflect greater cognitive and functional impairment.
