About this trial

This is a Phase 1b, multicenter, randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind, multiple ascending dose (MAD) study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), and pharmacodynamics (PD) of DNL628 in participants with early Alzheimer's disease (AD), defined as mild cognitive impairment, or mild AD with biomarker evidence of amyloid positivity.

Note: In the Netherlands, this study includes an open-label extension.

Have supportive evidence of AD pathology via historical records or laboratory testing at screening for amyloid positivity

A Clinical Dementia Rating global score of 0.5 or 1

Disqualifiers

Have clinically significant neurological or cognitive disorders affecting the CNS other than AD, as determined by the investigator

Have clinically significant psychiatric conditions

Have any history of unstable or poorly controlled endocrine, pulmonary, cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, hepatic, hematological, or other significant medical condition that, in the opinion of the investigator, may interfere with the completion or interpretation of study assessment
