Primary objective is to evaluate the neuroprotective effect of T-817MA on Tau protein phosphorylated at threonine 181 (p-tau 181) in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) compared with placebo in patients with a diagnosis of MCI due to AD or mild AD.
Secondary objectives are:
-
To evaluate in patients on T-817MA and placebo:
- cognitive function measured by the Clinical Dementia Rating Scale Sum of Boxes (CDR-sb) and working memory and attention domain as measured by the Cognitive Functional Composite (CFC).
- AD-related biomarkers in CSF and plasma
- imaging analysis using volumetric magnetic resonance imaging (vMRI)
- alpha/theta ratio of the electroencephalogram (EEG)
- To evaluate the safety of T-817MA by clinical laboratory tests and adverse events (AEs).
- To evaluate the pharmacokinetics of T-817MA
