Purpose
The purpose of this study is to test whether an investigational drug called solanezumab can slow the progression of memory problems associated with brain amyloid (protein that forms plaques in the brains of people with Alzheimer Disease [AD]).

Detailed Description:
The A4 study is a clinical trial for older individuals who have evidence of amyloid plaque build-up in their brains who may be at risk for memory loss and cognitive decline due to Alzheimer's disease. The A4 study will test an anti-amyloid investigational drug in older individuals who do not yet show symptoms of Alzheimer's disease cognitive impairment or dementia with the aim of slowing memory and cognitive decline. The A4 study will also test whether anti-amyloid treatment can delay the progression of AD related brain injury on imaging and other biomarkers.

Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:

- Has a study partner that is willing to participate as a source of information and has at least weekly contact with the participant (contact can be in-person, via telephone or electronic communication)
Exclusion Criteria:
- Is receiving a prescription acetylcholinesterase inhibitor (AChEI) and/or memantine at screening or baseline
- Lacks good venous access, such that intravenous drug delivery or multiple blood draws would be precluded

- Has had a history within the last 5 years of a serious infectious disease affecting the brain (including neurosyphilis, meningitis, or encephalitis) or head trauma resulting in protracted loss of consciousness
- Has had a history within the last 5 years of a primary or recurrent malignant disease with the exception of resected cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma in situ, basal cell carcinoma, cervical carcinoma in situ, or in situ prostate cancer with normal prostate-specific antigen posttreatment
- Has a known history of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), clinically significant multiple or severe drug allergies, or severe post-treatment hypersensitivity reactions (including, but not limited to, erythema multiforme major, linear immunoglobulin A dermatosis, toxic epidermal necrolysis, or exfoliative dermatitis)
- Is clinically judged by the investigator to be at serious risk for suicide
- Has a history within the past 2 years of major depression or bipolar disorder as defined by the most current version of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM)
- Has a history within the past 5 years of chronic alcohol or drug abuse/dependence as defined by the most current version of the DSM
