Purpose
A Phase II clinical research study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of two different dose levels of an injectable investigational treatment (ACC-001) in subjects with Mild-to-Moderate Alzheimer's disease. ACC-001 (vanutide cridificar) is a beta amyloid fragment attached to a carrier protein. It is intended to help induce an antibody response against beta amyloid and is administered as an intramuscular injection.
| Condition | Intervention | Phase |

| Alzheimer's Disease | Biological: ACC-001 (vanutide cridificar) | Phase 2 |
| Study Type: | Interventional |
| Study Design: | Allocation: Randomized Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment Masking: Double Blind (Participant, Care Provider, Investigator, Outcomes Assessor) Primary Purpose: Treatment |
| Official Title: | A Phase 2, 24-Month, Multi-Center, Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, Parallel-Group, Amyloid-Imaging Positron Emission Tomography (PET) and Safety Study of ACC-001 and QS-21 Adjuvant in Subjects With Mild to Moderate Alzheimer's Disease |

Primary Outcome Measures:
- To evaluate the effect of ACC-001 in combination with an adjuvant immunostimulatory agent (QS-21), administered intramuscularly compared to placebo on cerebral amyloid burden in subjects with mild to moderate Alzheimer's disease. [ Time Frame: 24 Months ]
Secondary Outcome Measures:
- To evaluate the safety and tolerability of 2 dosage levels of ACC-001 plus QS-21 vs. placebo in subjects with mild to moderate AD. [ Time Frame: 24 Months ]
As assessed by:
- The incidence and severity of treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs); and
- Clinically important changes in safety assessment results (vital signs, weight, clinical laboratory tests, electrocardiograms [ECGs], brain magnetic resonance imaging [MRIs], and physical and neurological examinations).
- Exploratory Outcome Measure: To assess the effects of ACC-001 compared to placebo as measured by change from baseline in disease biomarkers. [ Time Frame: 24 Months ]
- Exploratory Outcome Measure: To assess the effects of ACC-001 compared to placebo as measured by change from baseline in measurements of immunogenicity. [ Time Frame: 24 Months ]
- Exploratory Outcome Measure: To assess the effects of ACC-001 compared to placebo as measured by change from baseline in cognitive and functional scales. [ Time Frame: 24 Months ]
- Exploratory Outcome Measure: To assess the effects of ACC-001 compared to placebo as measured by change from baseline in health outcome measures. [ Time Frame: 24 Months ]
