- 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 ]
- 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 ]
