Arm Intervention/treatment
Experimental: Arm 1: BMS-241027 (0.003 mg/kg) Drug: BMS-241027
Intravenous (IV), 0.003 mg/kg, Once Weekly, 9 weeks

Experimental: Arm 2: BMS-241027 (0.01 mg/kg) Drug: BMS-241027
Intravenous (IV), 0.01 mg/kg, Once Weekly, 9 weeks

Intravenous (IV), 0.03 mg/kg, Once Weekly, 9 weeks

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Safety assessments: based on frequency of Serious Adverse Events (SAEs), frequency of Adverse events (AEs), discontinuation due to AEs and dose reduction [ Time Frame: Within the first 70 day after first dose ]
  2. Biomarker Measures: CSF levels of Tau N-terminal domain fragments [ Time Frame: Within the first 70 day after first dose ]

Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Effects of BMS-241027 on CSF levels of the mid-domain Tau fragment [ Time Frame: Within the first 70 days after first dose ]
  2. Effects of BMS-241027 on cognitive performance using computerized cognitive tests [ Time Frame: Weeks 3, 6 and 9 ]
  3. Effects of BMS-241027 on connectivity MRI [ Time Frame: Within the first 70 days after first dose ]
  4. Maximal observed plasma concentration (Cmax) of BMS-241027 in subjects with mild Alzheimer's disease [ Time Frame: Weeks 1, 4, and 9 ]
    Intensive pharmacokinetic parameter Cmax will be derived from subgroups of subjects at Week 7

  5. Observed plasma concentration at 24 hours post dose (C24) of BMS-241027 in subjects with mild Alzheimer's disease [ Time Frame: Weeks 1, 4, and 9 ]
    Intensive pharmacokinetic parameter C24 will be derived from subgroups of subjects at Week 7

  6. Time of maximal observed plasma concentration (Tmax) of BMS-241027 in subjects with mild Alzheimer's disease [ Time Frame: Weeks 1, 4, and 9 ]
    Intensive pharmacokinetic parameter Tmax will be derived from subgroups of subjects at Week 7

  7. Area under the concentration-time curve in one dosing interval [AUC(TAU)] of BMS-241027 in subjects with mild Alzheimer's disease [ Time Frame: Weeks 1, 4, and 9 ]
    Intensive pharmacokinetic parameter AUC(TAU) will be derived from subgroups of subjects at Week 7

  8. Safety assessments: based on vital sign measurements, ECGs and clinical laboratory tests [ Time Frame: Within the first 70 day after first dose ]
  9. Effects of BMS-241027 on CSF levels of neurofilaments [ Time Frame: Within the first 70 days after first dose ]
